About Duplicate Content found by SEOMOZ... that is not duplicate

[nuxeo]

Hi folks,

I am hunting for duplicate content based on SEOMOZ great tool for that

I have some pages that are mentioned as duplicate but I cant say why.

They are video page. The content is minimalistic so I guess it might be because all the navigation is the same but for instance

http://www.nuxeo.com/en/resource-center/Videos/Nuxeo-World-2010/Nuxeo-World-2010-Presentation-Thierry-Delprat-CTO

and

http://www.nuxeo.com/en/resource-center/Videos/Nuxeo-World-2010/Nuxeo-World-2010-Presentation-Cheryl-McKinnon-CMO

are mentioned as duplicate.

Any idea?

Is it hurting?

Cheers,

I only see one sentence before each video that has unique content on the pages. I ran the two URLs through this tool: http://www.webconfs.com/similar-page-checker.php and it reports 98% similarity. I'm guessing it's based entirely on text, which is likely what SEOmoz is based on.

The good news is that it's easy to fix. One video is 20 minutes long, and one video is 40 minutes long. Write at least a paragraph of good description about what the topic of each video is, and add that to the page.

Bonus points if you write more than one paragraph for each page, and 100x bonus points if you provide a transcription of the speech.

Once you do that the duplicate content error will go away, and you'll have better luck with getting traffic to those pages if that's a goal.

I agree with Kane, in addition to the description, why not produce a transcript of any spoken words in the videos? (not everyone has speakers plugged in).

If its good enough for SEOmoz whiteboard fridays its good enough for me

Thanks Kane, Aran,
