Internal Duplicate Content Question...
-
We are looking for an internal duplicate content checker that is capable of crawling a site that has over 300,000 pages. We have looked over Moz's duplicate content tool and it seems like it is somewhat limited in how deep it crawls. Are there any suggestions on the best "internal" duplicate content checker that crawls deep in a site?

If you want to a free test to crawl use this
https://www.deepcrawl.com/forms/free-crawl-report/
Please remember that URIs & URLs are different so your site with 300,000 URLs might have 600,000 URIs if you want to see how it works for free you can sign up for a free crawl for your first 10,000 pages.
I am not affiliated with the company aside from being a very happy customer.

Far no way the Best is going to be deep Crawl it automatically connects to Google Webmaster tools and analytics.
it can crawl constantly for ever. The real advantage is setting it to five URLs per second and depending on the speed of your server it will do it consistently I would not go over five pages per second. Make sure that you pick a dynamic IP structuring if you do not have a strong web application firewall if you do pick a single static IP then you can crawl the entire tire site without issue by white listing it. Now this is my personal opinion and I know what you're asking to be accomplished in the literally no time compared to other systems using deep crawl deepcrawl.com
It will show you what duplicate content is contained inside your website duplicate URLs what duplicate title tags you name it.

You have a decent sized website and I would recommend adding a free edition of Robotto.org Robotto, can detect whether a preferredwww or non-www option has been configured correctly.
A lot of issues with web application firewall and CDNs you name it can be detected using the school and the combination of them is a real one-two punch. I honestly think that you will be happy with this tool. I have had issues with anything local like screaming frog when crawling surcharge websites you do not want to depend on your desktop ram. I hope you will let me know if this is a good solution for you I know that it works very very well and it will not stop crawling until it finds everything. Your site will be finished before 24 hours are done.

Correct, Thomas. We are not looking to restructure the site at this time but we are looking for a program that will crawl 300,000 plus pages and let us know which internal pages are duplicated.

If the tool has to crawl more than a crawl depth of 100 it is very common to find something that's able to do it. Like a said deep crawl, screaming frog & Moz is but you're talking about finding content that shouldn't be restructured.

If you looking for the most powerful tool for crawling websites deepcrawl.com is the king. Screaming frog it Is good but is dependent on RAM on your desktop. And does not have as many features as deep crawl

Check out Siteliner. I've never tried it with a site that big, personally. But it's free, so worth a shot to see what you can get out of it.

How to fix Duplicate Content Warnings on Pagination? Indexed Pagination?
Hi all! So we have a Wordpress blog that properly has pagination tags of rel="prev" and rel="next" set up for pages, but we're still getting crawl errors with MOZ for duplicate content on all of our pagination pages. Also, we are having all of our pages indexed as well. I'm talking pages as deep as page 89 for the home page. Is this something I should ignore? Is it hurting my SEO potentially? If so, how can I start tackling it for a fix? Would "noindex" or "nofollow" be a good idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How do we avoid duplicate/thin content on +150,000 product pages?
Hey guys! We got a rather large product range (books) on our eCommerce site (+150,000 titles). We get book descriptions as meta data from our publishers, which we display on the product pages. This obviously is not unique, as many other sites display the same piece of description of the book. It is important for us to rank on those book titles, so my question to You is: How would you go about it? I mean, it seems like a rather unrealistic task to paraphrase +150,000 (and growing) book descriptions. As I see it, there are these options: 1. Don't display the descriptions on the product pages (however then those pages will get even thinner!)

2. Display the (duplicate) descriptions, but put no-index on those product pages in order not to punish the rest of the site (not really an option, though).
3. Hire student workers to produce unique product descriptions for all 150,000 products (seems like a huge and expensive task) But how would You solve such a challenge?
Thanks a lot! Cheers, Tommy.0 -
Duplicate page content on numerical blog pages?
Hello everyone, I'm still relatively new at SEO and am still trying my best to learn. However, I have this persistent issue. My site is on WordPress and all of my blog pages e.g page one, page two etc are all coming up as duplicate content. Here are some URL examples of what I mean: http://3mil.co.uk/insights-web-design-blog/page/3/ http://3mil.co.uk/insights-web-design-blog/page/4/ Does anyone have any ideas? I have already no indexed categories and tags so it is not them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Product Syndication and duplicate content
Hi, It's a duplicate content question. We sell products (vacation rental homes) on a number of websites as well as our own. Generally, these affiliate sites have a higher domain authority and much more traffic than our site. The product content (text, images, and often availability and rates) is pulled by our affiliates into their websites daily and is exactly the same as the content on our site, not including their page structure. We receive enquiries by email and any links from their domains to ours are nofollow. For example, all of the listing text on mysite.com/listing_id is identical to my-first-affiliate-site.com/listing_id and my-second-affiliate-site.com/listing_id. Does this count as duplicate content and, if so, can anyone suggest a strategy to make the best of the situation? Thanks

No-index pages with duplicate content?
Hello, I have an e-commerce website selling about 20 000 different products. For the most used of those products, I created unique high quality content. The content has been written by a professional player that describes how and why those are useful which is of huge interest to buyers. It would cost too much to write that high quality content for 20 000 different products, but we still have to sell them. Therefore, our idea was to no-index the products that only have the same copy-paste descriptions all other websites have. Do you think it's better to do that or to just let everything indexed normally since we might get search traffic from those pages? Thanks a lot for your help!

Internal Duplicate Pages causing dip in rankings
Hi Guys, Need help in understanding whether having duplicate pages on your site push you down in rankings. Our all product pages getting indexed by Google with different parameters i.e. filters, affiliate id, utm_source etc. and then we have 10-15 duplicate for one product page. I am observing dip in rankings whenever Google starts indexing these duplicate but when I asked this question to John Muller and other Google team they said if you set up canonical then you don't have to worry about having different urls for same page but we are not ranking on Google and if we do then we dropped from page 1 to page 2 or sometimes page 3. Example - http://goo.gl/G5p3X5 Any suggestions.

Duplicate content ramifications for country TLDs
We have a .com site here in the US that is ranking well for targeted phrases. The client is expanding its sales force into India and South Africa. They want to duplicate the site entirely, twice. Once for each country. I'm not well-versed in international SEO. Will this cause a duplicate content filter? Would google.co.in and google.co.za look at google.com's index for duplication? Thanks. Long time lurker, first time question poster.
