How to organise subpages for good SEO content without duplicate text?
-
We are working on many subpages for our services. We have original content for each page however there are few text which we need to always duplicate like: Contact sales window, why to choose us window, supported files etc. What's the best way to do this so it's not consider as duplicated text. Should we redirected it or add it as a picture and always change name of the picture?
Thank you

Hi Lukas,
Are these sections going to be as part of a sidebar, or a section of the footer? If so, I wouldn't worry too much about this kind of duplicate content, as long as the service page content has unique, rich information and good internal linking. I would minimize the amount of these extra sections, and ensure the unique content forms the majority of the overall page content.
That assumes these extra sections are just small, if you have lots of information in these sections I'd maybe consolidate them into an FAQ section. You should try to keep each page focused on one goal- presumably generating leads for the specific service the page is discussing. As long as you keep your focus on usability, you'll be fine- I'd definitely avoid adding the information as images, as this won't add any value, but will prevent users from clicking on your contact number to call you, for example.
Hope this helps!

Hi Lukas,
If you have a bit of informative text that is the same throughout the site, don't worry about it - as long as you have enough unique content to balance it out.
For example - if you have 2000 words on a page and 100 of these are the same on each page, it really isn't a problem.
Remember that Google doesn't have an internal duplicate penalty, but you will get hit for thin / useless content. As long as this isn't the case, you're golden.

SEO and dynamic content
I am working on a project right now and I am looking for some advice on the SEO implications. The site is an e-commerce site and on the category pages it is using an external call to retrieve the products after the page is loaded. How it works is all content on the site is loaded, then after that a js script appends an ID and loads all of the product information. I am unsure how Google will see this, anyone have any insights?

Social Media Profile and Website content dupe content issues ?
Is there a dupe content issue if your social media profiles and website have same content/copy ? For example if you have written great copy for your website home page then literally copy & paste that into your G+ co page introduction (since sums everything up perfectly and don't want to change it) would that have a negative effect or be perfectly ok ? cheers dan

E-commerce site product descriptions and duplicate content
Hi everyone. I'm developing an e-commerce site using Prestashop and concerned about the issue of duplicate content among product descriptions. My main concerns are: If there are 500 or more products and those product descriptions are obtained from a manufacturer or supplier's website hence running into external duplicate content issues. Internal duplicate content is also an issue, if there are multiple similar products and each product has the same description across several pages. What would be the best approach to eliminate the possibility of incurring a duplicate content penalty due to similar product descriptions? I've already considered the suggestion of noindex-ing the complete range of products to help protect from duplicate content penalties and having unique articles written in the site blog discussing products instead linking to certain products on the site. Another consideration I had was noindex-ing all product pages except pages for featured products in the store and rewriting descriptions for a set amount of those featured products regularly (this will still have the problem of internal duplicate content across pages if similar product descriptions are rewritten). The product range is intended to be very large so I'm really seeking an alternative solution from the insane task of rewriting many product descriptions. Any suggestions to make SEO work efficient are very much welcome and appreciated. Thank you!
