Videos on duplicate content editing

[DigitalEnvy]

Hi,

I am looking for good videos with visual examples on how to edit duplicate content issues. I am editing a law firms website, and for the most part the duplicate issues seem to show up in tag URL's on the blog. I feel like I have maybe half of the picture figured out, but I am not sure how or where to make changes. I have gone through the crawl diagnostic issues and a few articles, but I know I am a visual learner. Therefore a video might be helpful. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to get started? Thanks.

Hi Sharpey,

Duplicate content is an extensive SEO topic and it can be caused by lots of different scenarios.  You can have external duplicate content (multiple versions of a site and lack of redirection), internal duplicate content (indexing URL's with parameters) and everything in between.

I do not have a video for you, but the following is one of the best post I've found on this particular subject: http://goo.gl/Psz9Xr

The post is by Joost de Valk who is awesome and quite an authority in SEO.  The  post is well formatted and easy to follow.

I hope it will be helpful for you.

Cheers!

Hi By,

Thank you for your response. I will keep this info in mind. My main issue was interpreting the issues that came up on the web crawl. I am in the process of researching how to fix the issues. thanks again.

It appears much of the dup content issues revolve around links/URL's tied to terms I tagged in blog articles on the site (I am editing this site in Wordpress). A couple of the dup content issues are related to primary pages (one being the primary URL for the blog itself).

We recently changed some things around on the sitemap so hopefully that will help.
