      Wow, I think you used up all your Q&A points on this post alone : )

      1. No

      2. Could be, but probably not

      3. doubt it.

      4. No

      1a) Yes, very much so. Link to it, blog it, tweet it, and post on Facebook and other social sites

      2a) Yes

      1. Yes
      • Make sure the page is listed in the site XML and the new XML is uploaded to Google Webmaster.
      • Be sure to link to this page from strong pages on your site, or blog.
      • Get outside pages linking to this page.
      • Blog it, tweet it, Facebook it, etc.

      I hope that helps.

        Thanks for your reply. It all makes sense. Was wondering if you coudl give me some detial about #4 (Flickr code showing) as I wwant to be sure I was clear, and what we are doing is not harming us.

        1. So even though the images are used on multiple pages, and the code is pulling the alt tags, captions, and titles (this has actually helped us rank for some longer tail kw, and have alot of images show up in image search which is good for us) and there are alot of KW in the code block, it would not penalize us in any way?
        2. I know there is not reallu a duplicate content penalty per se, and more of a filter, so for each query G can choose which of our "duplicated" page is most relevant. Would this be the same here?
        3. We have very well written, persuasize, and KW balanced on page copy, but if you look at the source code, the % of words taken up by the flick images infor is so large compared to our sales copy. Woudl this be drowning out the kw in the sales copy?
        4. Could I post a coupel URLS?

        Thanks

          Yes, please post a link.

          I am going with that as long as there is other content on the page and not simply a redundant pulling of Flickr code, you will fine.

          If you are pulling the Flickr code and on that page is just a recompilation of images in a different order, then yes, I would say a duplicate content issue will arise.

          I think that answered you question?

              Hi Richard

              Wanted to see if you could see the links, and if you feel the flickr code on those pages is a good idea or not?

              Thanks

                Page looks great by the way!

                Yes, there is lots of duplicate content here. However, with the other page copy, I would think you would not get penalized.

                I must admit, this should go up to someone at SEOmoz to confirm.

                    You are a pro member, so you get two questions per month. Make sure you provide a link to this thread for reference.

                      Do I need to re-ask the question, or repost it? Is having SEO MOZ review it like an escalation of the question?

                      Thanks

                        These two pages are similar but definitely not duplicates. I wouldn't worry about that being the issue. The first two answers in this thread have it right, you need to build links internally and externally to these new pages to help them out. You are indexed just fine, just need some link love. 🙂
