Duplicate content

[Dan-Lawrence]

Hi

Since adding blog to a site semoz is reporting increased duplicate content warning on seomoz crawl error tool such as:

/blog/category/easter

being a duplicate of

blog/2013/03

Does this type of dupe content matter ? If so how do you stop this ?

Also pages and pages of dupe content reported from internal/site search results, such as:

/catalogsearch/result/index/?q=mens+fashion

being a duplicate of

/catalogsearch/result/?q=mens+fashion

Does this matter need to be fixed or since internal site search not an issue and can just ignore, if it is an issue what do you need do to fix this type of dupe content ?

Cheers

Dan

Yes it definitely matters.

You're using Wordpress? You need an SEO plugin to help with these issues. Look into installing Yoast. It should clean up your duplicate content issues. Google it + duplicates for more info. I personally don't use Wordpress much but do have a small amount of experience with it and Yoast.

Good luck!

Cheers Jesse,

its a wordpress blog attached to a magento ecommerce site

the blog already had yoast installed but will have a look at the settings again

the site search is part of magento so not sure how to address those

cheers
