      My SEO Moz crawl is showing duplicate content on my site. What is showing up are two articles I submitted to Submit your article (article submission service). I put their code in to my pages i.e.

      "

      <noscript><b>This article will only display in JavaScript enabled browsers.</b></noscript>

      "

      So do I need to delete these blog posts since they are showing up as dup content?

      I am having a difficult time understanding rel=cannonical. Isn't this for dup content on within one site? So I could not use rel="cannonical" in this instance?

      What is the best way to feature an article or press release written for another site, but that you want your clients to see? Rewritting seem ridiculous for a small business like ours. Can we just present the link?

      Thank you.

        noindex,follow the page and you're fine - don't cross domain canonicalize.

        and if it's only two pages out of your entire site don't worry about it unless you have a 5 page site hehe

        also  would re code the article on your site instead of linking to submityourarticle.com in a script.

          I have a feeling as SEO Moz continues to crawl my site I will have more of these errors, as this are from some time ago and I know I've submitted many, many.

          Any Comments on this:

            I'd agree with Irving that NOINDEX will solve the problem (remove the risk), but I think you could cross-domain rel=canonical. This sounds like a syndication type of situation - you're not claiming credit for the content, but you think it has value to your visitors. So, give the credit to the originating site.

            There was a syndication-source option, but Google has quietly deprecated that, unfortunately.
