Hello everyone,

I'm JD. I just found this site and I noticed it's a true community. Hopefully someone will be able to shed light on what I need to ask. Thank you in advance for your help.

Here is the question:

I have 7 pages for a website that is used as an informational website. The pages are all about the same type of product. Each link to each variant of the product has a somewhat unique informational page.

I didn't write these pages to be 100% exact when it comes to keyword density. I wrote them to be honest, concise and informative.

The worry is that 5 of the 7 pages have a few paragraphs that have identicale content. Such as Widget 1 has a BCDE and F
Widget 2 has a CDEF and G
widget 3 has a DEFG and H

So the content is duplicate. The information that I have written is factual but I worry about search engines seeing it as spamming or duplicate content.

So here are the actual questions.
1. Is this something I should worry about
2. Any way to hide the text from search engines seeing it at all?
3. Any other ways (non image) anyone can think of.

Thank you so much for your help

JD

As far as I can understand, this is not duplicate content. How are these pages performing?

It's not performing at all. It's less than 48 hours old.

The duplicat parts are paragraphs.

Like this

Paragraph One Original
Paragraph Two (shared with other page)
Paragraph Three (shared)
Paragraph Four Original

So part of it is duplicate.

Thank you,
JD

Is there a way to put the common content on one page, link to it from the other pages with the unique content?

I guess I could make a page to the similar descriptions and just link into them.

Thank you so much for the idea.

There should be some sort of "ignore content / text" statement for search engines. That would be cool.

Thanks again,
JD
