Best tools for identifying internal duplicate content

[McTaggart]

Hello again Mozzers! Other than the Moz tool, are there any other tools out there for identifying internal duplicate content? Thanks, Luke

You should also use Copyscape and Siteliner

Thanks Jorge - Not sure how I'd survive without Screaming Frog - haven't gotten around to Xenu Linksleuth yet, but must give it a go sometime soon! Although I use copyscape to check for external duplication, hadn't realised I could use it to check for duplicate text within a website, so I'm v grateful for that pointer Luke

Thanks James - good advice!

Apart from the tools mentioned above, I use copyscape premium to identify duplicate text (in the body of the page), I also find these tools very useful:

Xenu Linksleuth: very good for finding duplicate tags in your page's headers (title, description), and for many other tasks that require crawling your site. And the tool is free!

Screaming Frog: Another web crawler and very good tool for finding duplicate tags. It is a paid tool (about 77 GBP per year) but has a couple of features that Xenu does not have.

Cheers

I use the Moz crawler to crawl my entire site and export it to an excel spreadsheet to navigate, its one of the first columns on your report

Although i agree with Anthony and think its a very good idea to track any duplicate mentions from Google's perspective in webmaster tools

Duplicate content is going to be on your website. The key is to keep it out of Google's index. That is why using Google tools is very important. I find that using Google Webmaster Tools (duplicate page titles) and most importantly Google search as the best way to identify these problems.

This article is absolutely fantastic and there is a section titled "Tools for Finding & Diagnosing Duplicate Content" that explains exactly how to use Google and Google Webmaster Tools to find your duplicate content.
