      Hi,

      I'm trying SEOMOZ and its saying that i've got loads of duplicate content.

      We provide phone numbers for cities all over the world, so have pages like this...

      https://www.keshercommunications.com/Romaniavoipnumbers.html

      https://www.keshercommunications.com/Icelandvoipnumbers.html

      etc etc. One for every country.

      The question is, how do I create pages for each one without it showing up as duplicate content?

      Each page is generated by the server, but Its impossible to write unique text for each one.

      Also, the competition seem to have done the same but google is listing all their pages when you search for 'DID Numbers. Look for DIDWW or MyDivert.

        Your problem is the unique content you need. Every page has about 70-90% dubplicate content and you feel it's strange that its marked as duplicate content? You should be looking into a system that allows you to put unique content on every page to resolve this issue.

        my 2 cents

        Regards

        Jarno

          Hi Dan,

          I agree with Jarno - you're not really offering any valuable content to the user. The only unique content is a couple of images and a few changed words. If the server can pull through a couple of different images and change a few words, surely the server can request some unique text that will a) add value to the user and b) reduce the overall amount of templated content?

          PS - As a pro member, you can have up to 5 campaigns... Why not set up a campaign for your competitor? I can almost guarantee that they've got a load of duplication errors too, judging by what they're doing.

          PPS - Looking at your on-page optimisation, you don't seem to be targeting "DID Numbers"... Your competitors are though, hence why they are displaying in results for that search.

          Best,

          Matt

            Ok, I guess I'll have to replace the existing pages and try to write something unique for each country.

            I just wanted to check that I wasnt missing something.

            Thanks for the replies.
