Hi

If you are using SEO Yoast plugin then there is an option to no index and no follow the author page. So you can either no index, no follow or do any of the one you like. But what i think is there are different plugins which can do this job well.

Hi there

Yes, this is something you will need to fix from a SEO standpoint. Reason being, search engines don't like duplicate content, and if you have enough of it going on, they could potentially signal that as spam.

I would take a look at your canonical tags and content on those pages to see if you can enhance it and make it unique to that page. That should alleviate a lot of your duplicate content issues.

You shouldn't have to noindex or nofollow these pages. Maybe add an author bio on the page with a picture and a list to the blogs that they have written. There are always opportunities!

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi Paul!

Our tool has a 90% tolerance for duplicate content, which means it will flag any content that has 90% of the same code between pages. This includes all the source code on the page and not just the viewable text. You can run your own tests using this tool: http://www.webconfs.com/similar-page-checker.php.

In the case of http://www.ukhost4u.co.uk/blog and http://www.ukhost4u.co.uk/blog/author/trafficsource, these pages are 98% similar, which is why they're being flagged.

We have a great article about best practices for fixing Duplicate Content here:

Thanks!
