Is there any “official” checking tools for duplicate content? Not in terms of URL, but like similar content in two different URLs – any tool to see if Google (or any other SE) sees that as duplicate content?

This is an issue for ecommerce stores, or product catalogs – where the difference between two products may just be the color, or a slight redesign, and the model number. While we can attempt to craft a different title, or meta description, most of the content remains the same.

[...] Sinon il existe des outils spécialisés dans la détection de contenus dupliqués. Vous pouvez utiliser par exemple Copyscape (qui devient payant si vous voulez vraiment être exhaustif). Mais pourquoi ne pas utiliser Google pour détecter vos pages dupliquées? [...]

Very helpful and like to said might be difficult for a site with over 100,000 odd pages. SEO is more about thinking like a tester but with a good understanding of SE, – Search for what doesn’t work in a site and you will find it,then apply your knowledge to the tools available and you find a solution.

Hi There BtoomTurn, you’re right you could use webmaster tools to get dupicate titles. Webmaster is definitely one source of information, though you won’t get the details that you need to perform a complete diagnosis. WMT is a very important step, and I’d put that part of the diagnostic under “Use your common sense” – good call.

very good post Richard.

If I may ask : couldn’t you use the google webmaster tool in order to get directly informations like duplicate titles? it works faster for you and scan the whole site.

Nice post! Solid tips

Only thing is I think your code at the end is wrong – should say noindex, follow not noindex, nofollow

More of this kind of thing please!

Nice review of how a couple of basic tools can turn into advanced techniques. Just like good games, good SEO tools take moments to learn and a lifetime to master.
