How do I deal with my pages being seen as duplicate content by SeoMoz?
-
My Dashboard is giving my lots of warnings for duplicate content but it all seems to have something to do with the www and the slash /
For example:
http://www.ebow.ie/
is seen as having the same duplicate content as
http:/ebow.ie/
and
http://www.ebow.ie
Alos lots to do with how Wordpress categorizes pages and tags that is driving me bonkers!
Any help appreciated!
Dave.

Brilliant! Thank you

Hello Dave,
It's because both the 'www.ebow.ie' and 'ebow.ie' are indexed. You need to choose either www or non-www version. For example, if you have an htacess file you would do something like:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.ebow.ie/$1 [R=301,L]

Minimising the effects of duplicate content
Hello, We realised that one of our clients, copied a large part of content from our website to his. The normal reaction would be to send a cease and desist letter. Nevertheless this would probably mean loosing a good client. The client dumped the text of several articles (for example:

http://www.freundlinger-partners.com/en/home/faqs-property-law/ I convinced the client to place our authorship tags on this page, but I am wondering if this is enough. What do you think? Cheers

Are descriptions in Social Media Accounts seen as Duplicate Content bt SE?
Hello, I was wondering: If someone (like me) has same or very similar description for all social accounts (eg google plus, linkedin, etc also considering less famous or more specific accounts) profiles, will it be considered as duplicate content by search engines? And what if the content and description will be similar also to the one in the website? Will this be duplicate for the website? Thank you!

Duplicate content - Quickest way to recover?
We've recently been approached by a new client who's had a 60%+ drop in organic traffic. One of the major issues we found was around 60k+ pages of content duplicated across 3 seperate domains. After much discussion and negotiation with them; we 301'd all the pages across to the best domain but traffic is increasing very slowly. Given that the old sites are 60k+ pages each and don't get crawled very often, is it best to notify the domain change through Google Webmaster Tools to try and give Google a 'nudge' to deindex the old pages and hopefully recover from the traffic loss as quickly and as much as possible?
