        Hi Elf, I'm dealing with the same thing and also asked the same question little time ago. As we can see it's not dupiclate content, search engines don't have our eyes.  here is the respond i got: http://moz.com/community/q/why-is-this-duplicate-content-in-moz

        What i'm going to do is add different content. We are going to implement a tool where i can easily add fresh content on each page.  I hope this will make the difference otherwise canonical is a the second option.

        Grtz, Leonie

          Leonie-Kramer, thanks for response.

          We used canonical many months already. I'v checked silmilarity here: http://www.webconfs.com/similar-page-checker.php - 0%. 
          Don't know what else to do...

          BTW, if you have shop with thousands products how you going to add unique content to every page?..

            Hi, it's a challenge 😉 right now  we have more than 5000 productpages. Most of them have unique content, made by a content copywriter.

            My duplicates are not productpages, but listerpages, what make sense, though the products are different, the structure of those pages are pretty similar. To add content to those pages i'hope to make a difference.

            Grtz, Leonie

              Hi Elf925,

              I love the site and especially the top menu - it's really easy to navigate and filter products etc.

              I think the web confs tool is broken because you have a large naviational overhead (header, sidebar and footer) that is the same on each page and maybe 20 or so words that are different out of some 2,000 plus words.

              Search engines should be able to sort out the content from the boilerplate and Google has a patent on it here;

              http://www.google.com/patents/US8543572

              When I do a search for a unique string from your page eg Silver Pendants Plain Pendants HP-JB5331/16458 you are #1 in Google.

              When I do a slightly more generic search in Google for Silver Pendants Plain Pendants HP-JB5331/16458 you are at #1 so I think Google is doing quite a good job of analysing the meat of your content.

              Have you suddenly lost rankings/traffic or are you struggling to compete for the generics?

                Hello elf925,

                As Leonie said while it may be identified as duplicate content, our duplicate checker just scans for matching code. While SERPs may have a different way of analyzing whether content is duplicate or not we will flag it to be better safe than sorry.

                If 90%+ of the HTML matches we will flag it as a duplicate in our system to alert you. A search engine may not recognize this as duplicate  content but we like you to be aware just in case.
