      It is probably a silly question, but all of a sudden, the following pages of one of my clients are reported as Duplicate content. I cannot understand why. They weren't before...

        Hi,

        I used Copyscapefor these 2 pages:

        http://www.ciaoitalia.nl/product/pizza-originale/mediterranea-halal
        http://www.ciaoitalia.nl/product/pizza-originale/gyros-halal

        And found that out of 915 and 918 words - 899 were identical in both documents.

        But it's hard to say what happened previously - maybe you can give us more details?

          Remus said it well, they are obvious thin content pages, almost identical, Search engines don't want to list every variation of a simular page. You need to add more unique content to each page.

          But when I visit, using IE 11 on Windows 8.1, I get a big warning about cookies. This can't be good for conversion. do you really need this warming?
