Duplicate Content Blog Posts
Tutorial how to cope with duplicate content on the blogger was first published about two years ago. Because quite a lot of changes that occur during these two years, so I update this post again to keep relavan to apply now.
There are several things that cause duplicate content on blogger. Among them are duplicates occur because archive pages, searches, and the most common is duplicate content for the mobile version of the page.
Then how to overcome in order to avoid duplicate content?
The trick is easy, but must be adapted to the cause, so not all duplicate content can be handled in the same way. Ok, just see good do the following:
1. Duplicate Content Because Label Home
In a state of actual default label page gives a chance to not indexed by search engines, namely the robots.txt file. Yet somehow, sometimes label pages still indexed by search engines that finally lead to duplicate content.
The solution buddy must enter a special code manually into your blog template.
Please add buddies tapat code below under the code <head> in the template of your blog:
<b:if cond='data:blog.searchLabel'> <meta content='noindex,nofollow' name='robots'/> </b:if>
2. Duplicate Content Because Archive and Search page

The most common cause of duplicate content that occur in the blogger is because pages mobile version in blogger because every blogger posts has three different URLs with the same content.
Such as this example:
Original URL: blogname404.blogspot.com/2016/09/post-good.html
Mobile version of the URL: blogname404.blogspot.com/2016/09/post-good.html?m=1
URL desktop version: blogname404.blogspot.com/2016/09/post-good.html?m=0
If all the above URL indexed by Google, there will be 3 duplicate content in a single post.
Why why be indexed?
After researching more deeply about this issue I found that this happens because of the use Valid HTML template blogger.
Loh how come?
Valid HTML template blogger average omit some important code in blogger. One of them is the code <b: include data = 'blog' name = 'all-head-content' />.
One function of the code is to display the code rel = "canonical" which is essential for addressing duplicate content.
There are some valid HTML template which memsang code rel = "canonical" manually, but the code can not function optimally as it should.
And what is the solution?
There are three solutions to choose from:
# 1. The first solution: Change Template.
# 2. The second solution: If there is, remove this code in the template:

Continued to place this code under the code <head>:
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
# 3. Last Solution: If the template has a friend use responsive design, my friend can put this code just below the <head>:
All of the above has been my own practice and the results at that time (before moving to WordPress) blog I have not experienced such thing as duplicate content. But even then I am not responsible if after practice how on top of your blog is missing from the search results or deindex.<b:if cond='data:blog.isMobile'> <meta content='noindex,nofollow' name='robots'/> </b:if>
It is important to note, after implementing the above buddy can not immediately see the results, it took weeks until months until visible results. My own blog only takes about a month or more before finally free from the problem of duplicate content.
