Duplicate content: Form labels and field content

[deployseo]

I have a site that has 500 pages, each with unique content, the only content that could be deemed the same is the 'Make Contact' form, which has the same labels and placeholder text on each page.

Is this likely to cause any duplicate content penalties?

Hi there,

As the bulk of your content is unique I wouldn't foresee it causing a massive problem for you.  If you are concerned  you can always do things like run it in an iframe or just link to it on a dedicate page etc. which can help avoid the issue altogether, but a very small amount of words are nothing that will do you any major harm.

Hi,

No - that's not a problem. Anyway google is good at determining how things are even if you have a lot of duplicate content. And it's important to mention that there is no such thing as a Google duplicate content penalties - manual or otherwise.

Panda dose target "duplicate content" but Panda is not a penalty is a filter and it's more complex, way more then "duplicate content" .. but that's a story for another day - anyway with a 500 pages site you are probabaly safe from panda even if you would have a lot of Panda signals...

Cheers.
