Duplicate Content Issue

[SoccerStop]

Hello,

We have many pages in our crawler report that are showing duplicate content.  However, the content is not duplicateon the pages.  It is somewhat close, but different.  I am not sure how to fix the problem so it leaves our report.

Here is an example.  It is showing these as duplicate content to each other.

www.soccerstop.com/c-120-youth.aspx

www.soccerstop.com/c-124-adult.aspx

Any help you could provide would be most appreciated.  I am going through our crawler report and resolving issues, and this seems to be big one for us with lots in the report, but not sure what to do about it.

Thanks
James

Hi James, when we talk of duplication we do not mean just plain duplication, but overall duplication too.

Moreover, duplication is not just about main content, but about all the code of a page, therefore sidebars, menu, header and everything a page is composed by.

As you have noticed, those three pages are substantially identical, and the differences are to few respect the similarities.

What can you do? For instance you could provide a text to these sub-category pages. I know, it seems hard to write original and different content when products are very similar... but it is possible.

For instance, if you can why don't you ask for feedback from clients who have bought those product and add them in the sub-category pages as testimonials? That's just an idea, but surely that a good brainstorming around a beer can present your more ideas
