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.

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.

Avvo.com: Are links in the contribution area bad for SEO?
Hello all and thank you for taking the time to read my question. I am struggling with a client of mine. I have done just about everything that I can think of that has worked on other sites. Banging my head up against the wall here. He is VERY active in the contribution area of Avvo.com (answering questions and making guides). His site use to rank very well but now it can't be found at all. One of the things that caught my attention is the way he would leave his citation in his answers for AVVO. He would leave a direct link to his website. Since his rankings have dropped I have advised him to stop. Do you think Google is treating them as spam? His link profile is small >1000 links but half of them are from AVVO I was wondering if anyone else any experience with this? Thanks in advance

Google crawled "Cross Domain" links. Is this an issue? if yes then how we can remove it?
We have two sites. One site for US (site.com)and another is for India(site.co.in). Redirection is working based on ip address and location.So if I write US(site.com) site link in India location then it will automatically redirect to India site(site.co.in). We have given a link in the header of the site which will be used to open another country site. Example : Currently India site open in my browser so it contain US site link. and US site open in my browser so it contain India site link. We check on google web master and we found back links of cross domains so Is it an issue?

Linking within a website advice please
Hi i am working on my site which is a lifestyle magazine and i have been reading about using linking within your own website to help you climb up the search engines. Now i am trying to find out if this is correct information and if so which is the best way to use this. I have an example page below, as stated i am still working on the site and the site will still take me a few more weeks yet. http://www.in2town.co.uk/news/soap-gossip/eastenders-fans-not-happy-over-tanya-plot Now if it is correct that linking from within a site is a good way to climb the search engines, i would like to know how i would do it for this page. I am looking at climbing the search engines for soap gossip and celebrity news. I was thinking should i have a line at the bottom saying something like for all the latest celebrity news visit our site or something like this. any advice would be great
