Internal Duplicate Images
-
Question: If we had hundreds of images duplicated on a site, but different URL (tacking "-1" to the end), is that a Panda issue? Will we get penalized.
I know duplicate content (web pages) pretty well, but duplicate files? That I'm unsure of.

I don't get why you would have tracking on the image, Takeshi may be correct, but I would not do it myself as it may be a low quality signal. I know that the Bing Api will detect it as a duplicate files, what they will do about I don't know.

I've read about Google penalizing for duplicate images pulled from external sites (i.e. - Wikipedia) but have seen a thing about internal duplicate images.
-
I am not 100% certain, but in 6+ years of doing SEO I have never heard of a site ever getting penalized for images.

Content incorrectly being duplicated on microsite
So bear with me here as this is probably a technical issue and i am not that technical. We have a microsite for one of our partner organisations and recently we have detected that content from our main site appearing in the URLs for the microsite - both in search results and then when you click through to the SERP. However, this content does not exist on the actual website at all. Anyone have a possible explanation for this? I have tried searching the web but nothing. I assume there is something in the set up of the microsite that is associating it with the content on the main site.

60% Internal Redirects
A new client I am working with has a site with over 9,000 internal 301 redirects. These are as a result of old links not being updated and the number of internal 301 redirects far outweighs the number of 'correct' links on the site. My personal opinion is that creates the risk of crawl errors/issues and whilst a 301 redirect is correct in this case, it does not negate the need to update internal links. The problem I have is that when I explain this to the client, they reply with an Matt Cutts video from 2008 that talks about 301 redirects being correct for site migrations. Even though the video is not entirely relevant to the point, I can not get the client to move from his position. Ideally, what I am looking for help with is the following: Am I right in my position that having this many redirects is a potential issue and that internal links should be updated? Does anyone know of any articles from 'notable/reputable' sources that I can use in order to support my position? Thanks in advance for your help.

Duplicate Content Vs No Content
Hello! A question that has been throw around a lot at our company has been "Is duplicate content better than no content?". We operate a range of online flash game sites, most of which pull their games from a feed, which includes the game description. We have unique content written on the home page of the website, but aside from that, the game descriptions are the only text content on the website. We have been hit by both Panda and Penguin, and are in the process of trying to recover from both. In this effort we are trying to decide whether to remove or keep the game descriptions. I figured the best way to settle the issue would be to ask here. I understand the best solution would be to replace the descriptions with unique content, however, that is a massive task when you've got thousands of games. So if you have to choose between duplicate or no content, which is better for SEO? Thanks!

Internal anchor text
Designed my website with one keyword, one page adage. Wondering if i am creating an issue with internal anchor text and use of plurals for keywords. For instance, say I want my index page to rank for keyword exotic vacations, and an inner page to rank for exotic vacation. I do this as i notice there is a major discrepency with google when calling both the singular and plural term of certain keywords (like the example above, for instance). I see in yahoo it views singular and plural as essentially the same word, but google appears to rank them separately. Anyways since google is where the majority of my search traffic comes from, I separated my most competitive keywords for both singular and plural usage and created external links with anchor text that reflects this separation. I am concerned though that I may not be handling the Internal anchor text properly. What i have done is take a keyword l want to rank for (for example "exotic vacations") and attach it a page (for example index page) and use the anchor text "exotic vacations" on this page and link it to the inner page "exotic vacation." Reason: I want to rank for the term exotic vacations on the main page, but have a relavant page to link to this term so the closest would be the keyword exotic vacation on an inner page. I would appreciate any feedback on this. I think I am running into a problem with this strategy especially on the main index page/inner page keywords (plural to singular). I also notice google will find an inner page for a time then switch it to the default domain name index page when searchign for a keyword. Kinda keeps going back and forth. I never see any indent search results.
