      A recent crawl diagnostic for a client's website had several new duplicate page content errors.

      The problem is, I'm not sure where the error comes from since the content in the webpage is different from one another.

      Here's the pages that SEOMOZ reported to have duplicate page content errors:

      http://www.imaginet.com.ph/wireless-internet-service-providers-term

      http://www.imaginet.com.ph/antivirus-term

      http://www.imaginet.com.ph/berkeley-internet-name-domain

      http://www.imaginet.com.ph/customer-premises-equipment-term

      The only thing similar that I see is the headline which says "Glossary Terms Used in this Site" - I hope that the one sentence is the reason for the error.

      Any input is appreciated as I want to find out the best solution for my client's website errors.

      Thanks!

        Hi John,

        Its shows you duplicate pages because, too little difference in search engine readabel text between all this pages.

        Like you compare the title and only two words are different. You compare the page content only middle paragraph is different in all other pages.

        Try to right different titles and description for all the pages. And Possible Add little bit more content.

        I think it will helps a page to be stand as a unique.

        Thanks.

          I understand what you're saying.

          However, there are several hundreds of pages like that which are 1 word definition pages like the 4 ones that I've mentioned above.

          Here's one example of a 1 word definition page that did not report any error:

          http://www.imaginet.com.ph/local-area-network-definition

          Among all those pages, there's only around 14-20 that are getting duplicate page content errors (including the four I mentioned above).

          That is why I'm curious to find out the reason why the four above reported duplicate page errors.

          Thanks!

            Maybe its a sample.

            but what i would do,is look at the souce code. there is a huge amount of script and menu content that could posible be removed. you content is almost at the bottom of the page. it looks like about 2% of the page. get rid of the scripts into external files, get rid of the menus and try to get original content up to higher %
