Hi Folks,

I'm very new to SEO, I have got a question on what I would call duplicate content. Can someone please tell me what to do with these kind of stuff?

Samples
www.afgcric.com/about-us/item/105-icc-in...video-streaming.html

www.afgcric.com/news/item/105-icc-interc...video-streaming.html

Both linking to the same article, however, the first one totally misplaced.

the same goes for my front-page, www.afgcric.com/ and www.afgcric.com/index.php

I also have blank pages as these:
www.afgcric.com/live/gtopics.php?pid=88
www.afgcric.com/live/gtopics.php?pid=93
www.afgcric.com/live/gthreads.php?sid=104

Shall I just delete the ones I don not want in RSSeo? currently I've unpublished some of them

Hello,

This can be solved by using the latest RSSeo! feature - rel="canonical" attribute, included in revision 12.

You can find an in-depth video tutorial related to this on the RSJoomla! TV Channel:

Ep. 77 - How to specify the canonical version of a Joomla! page to prevent duplicate content

Regards!

I also didn¿t know much about canonical URLS but in the video everything is well explained. Thank you =)

So the answer was great, I have the same problem - but does that mean that I have to go through all of my pages doing that manually so I can sort out my sitemap? I have something like 3,000 pages with mostly duplicate content - I have enabled SEFs in the RSseo sytem plugin - is there any way of doing this quickly, or should I just eliminate all the pages which aren't canonical? (which would be quicker than going in and specifying the canonical reference for each one of them)

Any ideas? Thanks in advance :)

If you need to check your Content Duplicate or not then you need a tool. Check Duplicate Content tools are very useful for teachers, students, webmasters etc. And these Checker Tool shows quick result.
