Best way to prevent "Duplicate Content" for different links
-
We are working on job portal domain. As we know jobs going to be expired day by day. I will give you my question by example.
Example: I have two links [mysite.com/Jobs-In-Cincinnati and mysite.com/Jobs-In-Atlanta]. Before month I had too many jobs on both the links. Jobs were expired one by one after two/three months I don't have any jobs on both the links.So I got same page content on both the links like "please refine search". Google consider these two pages as duplicate content issue.
Will you please suggest which is the best way to come out from it?
Thanks in advance.

You mean MOZ.com considers it duplicate content, right?
Duplicate content, as in having pages with duplicate content will cause you a "ding" in your rankings-- but mostly when it's duplicated from domain-to-domain. I have never seen evidence of duplicate content on the same website, harming a website, no matter what Google says about canonical links. (I still think you should use canonical links.)
But assuming that having some duplicate content on your site is really very harmful...
Google knows the difference between a page that is actually duplicate content and plain old blank pages. MOZ may consider blank pages duplicate, but MOZ isn't nearly as sophisticated as Google.
I wouldn't sweat it myself.

To overcome that Google see both pages as duplicated content when empty, i would spend time on writting information about working in Cincinnati and a different piece about working in Atlanta.
I'm not from Amerika, I have no idea what the difference between these to cities are, do they have cinema's / dinners / lunch rooms for after and during work. Do they have 4 seasons or not. So make unique content for each page, by adding different jobs they will even have new content every 2/3 months (google likes), but if all jobs are gone they are still different. It will be some work in the beginning, but help you in the end.

Create original content or Copy from several sources?
I own a site that that has about 15,000 pages that need some description content. I plan to hire someone to retrieve or create content for each of these pages on my site. each page needs about 500 words. I was thinking that there is probably three ways i can go about this. If I hire someone cheap I can probably have them copy data from about 20 different sites. using about 5 sources for each page description. I can hire someone that has some experience writing english content, and have them go to a few sites and then in their own words summarize the description on my site. I can hire a great content writer, have them do research on each page, and create completely unique content. I probably will do some combination of these 3 things. (great content writer on a few pages, since thats all i can afford to do) and the rest do the cheaper route. Is copying sentences from multiple sources a good idea? or does the content really need to be original?

How do you check what links there are to a specific page on a site?
Hi Mozzers, I'm doing a bit of research and need your help! I'm trying to find out what specific sites link to a particular page on a website. What's the best tool to use as I checked it with Moz and it only brought back 5 links? Then I tried an free online tool and it said there were 35 links. I'm a bit confused now. What tool/s do you use to check links to a specific page?

Site "Internal" Search Full-Text Indexing vs. Manual Tagging
I’m looking for recommendations on how to power site search in an efficient way. Ideally, I would like to get recommendations on platforms, tools, trends, technology and resources. This discussion does not really refer to SEO or site search optimization. It is more related to the technology used to power site search. I would like to get an idea on the differences between full-text indexing site search and site search that requires manual tagging.

Dynamic pages for locations, but SEOmoz counts them as multiple content. Are there any good work-arounds?
We have a client that has a list of locations. Instead of having multiple pages (65) for each, the pages content is dynamic, hence, the multiple content for each location. Just the 'city" variable changes on the page. Is there a graceful way to fix this problem so I don't get bookoos of errors in the crawl or if I am approaching this wrong? Thanks in advance! Abe S.
