Important findings… Near-Duplicates Evolve Slowly
“Clusters  of  near-­‐
duplicate  documents  
are  fairly  stable:  Two  
documents  that  are  
near-­‐duplicates  of  one  
another  are  very  likely  
to  still  be  near-­‐
duplicates  10  weeks  
later”
(Fetterly &  Najork,  
2003)
THE  SLOW  PAGE  EVOLUTION  OF  NEAR-­‐
DUPLICATES
ABOUT  1/3  OF  THE  WEB  IS  NEAR-­‐
DUPLICATES
THESE  PAGES  DON’T  NEED  
VISITING  A  LOT  BECAUSE  THEY  
RARELY  CHANGE
DETECING  THESE  PAGES  EARLY  
HAS  BIG  BENEFITS  FOR  
RESOURCE  EFFICIENCY
They’re  largely  a  big  waste  of  crawling  
resources

APPENDIX
@dawnieando from @MoveItMarketing
Click To Edit Presentation SubtitleClick To Edit Presentation Subtitle
With  canonicals  the  ‘context’  URL  
(canonicalizing FROM)  needs  to  be  either  
duplicative  or  a  subset  (small  part)  of  the  
superset  content  (bigger  part  including  the  
subset  content)  of  the  URL  it  is  
canonicalizingTO
EXAMPLE:  If  canonicalizing blue  shoes  size  4  to  blue  shoes  but  blue  shoes  size  4  is  not  mentioned  in  the  
blue  shoes  page,  the  content  from  blue  shoes  size  4  canonicalized from  will  not  be  included  and  the  page  
will  not  rank  for  blue  shoes  size  4
COMMON  CANONICAL  MISTAKES
BE  CAREFUL  
WHEN  AUTO-­‐
CANONICALIZING  
‘FILTERS’  TO  
CATEGORIES
@dawnieando from @MoveItMarketing
Click To Edit Presentation SubtitleClick To Edit Presentation Subtitle
Don’t  canonicalize from  the  pages  in  a  
paginated  series  to  page1  in  the  series.    
These  are  not  duplicates  and  the  content  in  
the  series  will  not  be  counted.  
ONLY  self-­‐reference  the  pages  with  
canonicals  or  canonicalize to  page=“all”
COMMON  CANONICAL  MISTAKES
REL=NEXT/PREV  IS  A  DIFFERENT  TYPE  OF  RELATIONSHIP  TO  
REL=CANONICAL
@dawnieando from @MoveItMarketing
Click To Edit Presentation SubtitleClick To Edit Presentation Subtitle
Don’t  canonicalize from  an  ”index”  to  a  
“noindex or  vice-­‐versa  because  this  means  
the  pages  are  NOT  the  same.
The  canonical  will  likely  be  ignored
COMMON  CANONICAL  MISTAKES
@dawnieando from @MoveItMarketing
Click To Edit Presentation SubtitleClick To Edit Presentation Subtitle
If  “href lang”  references  an  alternative  
which  does  not  match  a  canonical  link  the  
canonical  will  likely  be  ignored
COMMON  CANONICAL  MISTAKES
CANONICALS  CAN  BE  CROSS-­‐DOMAIN  
BUT  THIS  ONLY  APPLIES  TO  GOOGLE  
SEARCH  ENGINE.    NOT  BING
@dawnieando from @MoveItMarketing
Click To Edit Presentation SubtitleClick To Edit Presentation Subtitle
If  a  canonical  is  not  deemed  to  be  valid  
there  is  likelihood  the  pre-­‐RFC6596
Canonical  Link  Relation  treatment  of  
duplicates  and  near-­‐duplicates  will  be  
applied:
Such  as  ‘internal  links’

TAKE AWAY
§ Stagnation  of  desktop
§ Increasingly  limited  space
§ Increasingly  limited  
attention
§ Increasingly  limited  time
§ Increasing  competition  for  
prospect  attention
Revisit  ‘Labelling’  on  global  
navigation,  syntax,  local  
navigation,  internal  link  labelling  
and  count,  implement  internal  site  
search,  be  ‘DISTINCT’  in  labels
Understand  ‘heuristics’  are  needed  
in  the  absence  of  a  well  pre-­‐
empted  ‘best  fit’  of  products  in  a  
small  screen

CONFUSING  DUPLICATE,  NEAR-­‐
DUPLICATE  (DUST)  AND  SIMILAR  
CONTENT  COULD  COST  YOU  
DEARLY
Maybe a lot of people confuse by duplicates?
§ Be  careful  about  canonicalizing
when  unnecessary
§ Duplicate  content  is  query  and  
category  agnostic
§ Similar  is  not  duplicate
§ You  may  still  have  the  answers  
to  different  queries  based  on  a  
small  important  difference
§ AT  LEAST  4  TYPES  OF  
DUPLICATE  CONTENT 2017
