Duplicate content - wordpress image attachement

[htmanage]

I have run my seomoz campaign through my wordpress site and found duplicate content. However, all of this duplicate content was either my logo or images and no content with addresses like /?attachement_id=4 for example . How should I resolve this? thank you.

Make sure you have your images with unique names and alt tags.

Hakim,

Definitely a unique issue your having. When you are using any of the WordPress SEO Plugins (I use WordPress SEO by Yoast). Within Yoast go to permalinks=>Redirect attachment URL's to parent post URL.
 and check that box.

What this will do is redirect any SEO value that is passed to the image (or other attachment) and redirect it to the original post/page that it was on. It should also work the same way with your logo.

Hi Zach,

Thanks for your the answer. I have wordpress seo by yoast and I redirected attachment url's to parent post url as you said but It is still not redirecting. I checked a solution on the internet and I cant find any. as you said, really unique problem. I have quick redirect plugin installed, I am thinking of using a 301 redirect using this plugin, what do you think ? open to other solutions.

thanks for your help.

Hey Roberto,

they do have unique names and alt tags.

Hi

You definitely don't need to do anything crazy like create special redirects. The Yoast solution should work.

If it still doesn't - do this;

1. Go to the post/page
2. Open image to edit
3. Under 'link URL' choose 'none' or 'link to image' - see screenshot

Hi has anyone found a solution to this problem since? I have 190 crawl errors and they are all linked to image url's fro example www.example.com/image.  When I click on one of the Moz links in the report, it takes me to a blogpost page which has the image on it. Highly unusual since the image will have only ever been added to one of the pages which have been listed in the main menu.

All feedback would be welcome - Thanks!
