Hello,

How to exclude duplicate content from being indexed by Google?

To deal with this issue, you can use Canonical Link Tag!

There are two good ways to do this. 301 redirects are the best option. 301 redirects consolidate link authority, prompt de-indexation, and also redirect the user to the new page. Google has stated that it assigns 100 percent of the link authority to the new page with a 301 redirect.

I do local SEO. Website design is now a major factor for SEO. I have added plugins for Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google listing, Linkedin and Yelp. Google SEO has processed major changes.

If you do create placeholder pages, use the noindex tag to block these pages from being indexed. Understand your content management system: Make sure you're familiar with how content is displayed on your web site. Blogs, forums, and related systems often show the same content in multiple formats.
