Content Duplication - Zencart
-
Hi Guys !!!
Based on crawler results, it shows that I have 188 duplicate content pages, out of which some are those in which I am not able to understand where the duplication is ???
The page created is unique. All the URL's are static, all titles, metat tags are unique.
How do I remove this duplication !!! I am using Zencart as a platform.
Thanks in advance for the help !!!

Great !!! Thanks for help Caitlin.
Downloaded the plugin.

Awesome! I checked it out and everything looks good.
Regarding the temporary redirects. I don't really have enough information to answer this question. A temporary, or 302 redirect, is seen by the search engines, as just that - temporary. Therefore, any authority does not pass through. In a 301 redirect, like the ones you created for the www. vs. non-www the authority passes through as the search engine understands the redirect to be permanent. Therefore, I would try and figure this out with your web developer.
In the meantime, I would download an extension such as Ayima Redirect Tool and take a look at the pages that have 302 redirects and where they are being redirect from. With the tool you may be able to figure out what is going on.

Hi Guys !!!
I have resolved this issue of www and non www.
Just a quick question: Crawl results are showing 1651 pages having temporary redirects. Was this the only cause or there is something else that has to be done.
Thanks for the help !!!

Caitlin: Thanks !!! This is an immensely helpful suggestion !
Is there a preference on which one should be redirected to which one or it could be either ways ??
Thanks in advance for such great help
Really appreciated

I've noticed that there are two versions of the link you provided:
http://champu.in/che-guevara-red-mens-round-neck-t-shirt-india
and
http://www.champu.in/che-guevara-red-mens-round-neck-t-shirt-india
Google see's these as two separate pages and, as a result, duplicate content. A 301 redirect should be created from one to the other to resolve this issue. Is this is happening across the site rel="canonical' needs to be implemented site wide.

Benjamin:
Thanks for response.
This is the page that is showing duplicate URL 3 times: http://champu.in/che-guevara-red-mens-round-neck-t-shirt-india
However, there is no other page like this. Content is somewhat similar on all the pages, but with unique ID's.
Not sure, if that is the only reason, but if that is so. All my pages should show duplicate error.
Please suggest.

Hey,
Was the content ever the same? Did you recently update it? Is anything on the page the same or similar to other pages, did you maybe upload another version of your site on the server?

Duplicate Content on a Page Due to Responsive Version
What are the implications if a web designer codes the content of the site twice into the page in order to make the site responsive? I can't add the url I'm afraid but the H1 and the content appear twice in the code in order to produce both a responsive version and a desktop version. This is a Wordpress site. Is Google clever enough to distinguish between the 2 versions and treat them individually? Or will Google really think that the content has been repeated on the same page?

Finding a specific link - Duplicating my own content
Hi Mozzers, This may be a bit of a n00b question and i feel i should know the answer but alas, here i am asking. I have a page www.website.co.uk/page/ and im getting a duplicate page report of www.website.co.uk/Page/ i know this is because somewhere on my website a link will exists using the capitalised version. I have tried everything i can think of to find it but with no luck, any little tricks? I could always rewrite the urls to lowercase, but I have downloadable software etc also on the website that i dont want to take the capitals out of. So the best solution seems to be finding the link and remove it. Most link checkers I use treat the capitalised and non capitalised as the same thing so really arent helping lol.

How to avoid duplicate content when blogging from a site
I have a wordpress plastic surgery website. I have a wordpress blog on the site. My concern is avoiding duplicate content penalties when I blog. I use my blog to add new information about procedures that have pages on the same topic on the main site. Invariably same keywords and phrases can appear in the blog-will this be considered Duplicate content? Also is it black hat to insert anchor text in a blog linking back to site content-ie internal link or is one now and then helpful

Duplicate Content: Canonicalization vs. Redirects
Hi all, I have a client that I recently started working with whose site was built with the following structure: domain.com
Technical SEO | | marisolmarketing
domain.com/default.asp Essentially, there is a /default.asp version of every single page on the site. That said, I'm trying to figure out the easiest/most efficient way to fix all the /default.asp pages...whether that be 301 redirecting them to the .com version, adding a canonical tag to every .asp page, or simply NOINDEXing the .asp pages. I've seen a few other questions on here that are similar, but none that really say which would be the easiest way to accomplish this without going through every single page... Thanks in advance!0 -

Tags causing Duplicate page content?

Magento and Duplicate content
I have been working with Magento over the last few weeks and I am becoming increasingly frustrated with the way it is setup. If you go to a product page and remove the sub folders one by one you can reach the same product pages causing duplicate content. All magento sites seem to have this weakness. So use this site as an example because I know it is built on magento, http://www.gio-goi.com/men/clothing/tees/throve-t-short.html?cid=756 As you remove the tees then the clothing and men sub folders you can still reach the product page. My first querstion is how big an issue is this and two does anyone have any ideas of how to solve it? Also I was wondering how does google treat question marks in urls? Should you try and avoid them unless you are filtering? Thanks
