How do i prevent Google and Moz from counting pages as duplicates?

[inmn]

I have 130,000 profiles on my site. When not Connected to them they have very few differences. So a bot - not logged in, etc, will see a login form and "Connect to Profilename"

MOZ and Google call the links the same, even though theyre unique such as

example.com/id/328/name-of-this-group

example.com/id/87323/name-of-a-different-group

So how do i separate them? Can I use Schema or something to help identify that these are profile pages, or that the content on them should be ignored as its help text, etc?

Take facebook - each facebook profile for a name renders simple results:

https://www.facebook.com/public/John-Smith

https://www.facebook.com/family/Smith/

Would that be duplicate data if facebook had a "Why to join" article on all of those pages?

One solution would be to not index the directory that has the profiles. Do you get many visits from organic search to these pages?

Yes, adding noindex to all profile pages will solev any current or future issues you might have. There is no point in having those pages into the index if the "actual" content is anyway invisibile. There is no point keeping over 100k pages in the index with only boilerplate on them.

You should no index all profiles asap - there is no value from an organic point of view there and if you do lose some traffic from those - the risk - reward  (risk - losing some traffic / reward - keeping your domain overall safe) is without question towards the reward side.

Cheers.

Yes - we need the directories to be found in google

These profile pages are places in an organization to register at. Our brand name contains 3 utterly generic words, so the only thing showing up on radar are these profile names

Of course, removing it is a "solution" but no one hands a fat person a butcher knife and says "just cut it off"

I need to shape the content to be unique. I think its our "pitch" text that has more characters than the profile.

What about this idea:

We can flesh out profiles with Data, demographics, and contact info. No one cares about it, so we leave it off.

We can also customize it by a list of names that are connected, for those that have registrants

So 2 options: throw the demo info up on each, giving some unique content.

and or

Throw up member first names last init of those registered in them, then only index them if they have members?

However, 80% of our traffic comes from these "duplicate" pages.
