Duplicate conent
-
I found some duplicate content on my site.... but in my SEOMOZ campaigns account. It says that I do not have duplicate content...
what is wrong? is the tool working ?

I have put my site in copyscape.com for a full duplicate content check...
there are 2 pages duplicate... oops I remember those... the legal policy I was bored to write and sorry sorry got too much from other sites but my fault... i was just too lazy for that page...
then you small things.... but over all it is no more than 5% to 10% or even less...

How much does the content that you've found contribute to the page? Is it 10% of the page? 15%? More?
I ask because there appears to be a threshold, an invisible line in the sand if you will, that will tell the SEOMoz crawler and the Google bot. Some duplicate content is always to be expected - after all site navigations are replicated on every page. With my current client as well, we need to have a risk warning and an FSA disclaimer on each page of our website for legal reasons. We've not been flagged for duplicate content because we add as much rich and unique content to the page as possible. So you have some degree of leniency.
If the duplicate content takes up most of the content on the page and the crawler hasn't flagged it, it may not have been able to find it. In this case, fix the duplicate content issue ASAP, but then look at your site architecture to see if a crawler could easily access the page in less than 5 steps/links - and check your source code to see if there's any meta data blocking crawlers in the header and also in your robots.txt file.
Hope this helps!

it is the index page of the site

It could well be that one of the pages on which the duplicate content exists has a NoIndex tag - have you checked that? That way it wouldn't be picked up by search engines.
Or, is one of the pages simply low down the webpage food chain and not being picked up at all?

I am having a duplicate title -pagination issue Need Help
In WordPress I added %%page%% saved changes and ran a test in Moz and screaming frog, it doesn't show any duplicates. But when I open the site up in a new browser the duplicate titles are still there. No access to the PHP file due to the theme the client chose also. Any suggestions anyone?

Are tags in blogs worth anything in SEO value these days and can i remove duplicate title tags?
I have around 12 duplicate tags in the blog and the general consensus is to noindex./nofollow the tag pages which is not an awful way to do things. Should I just arrange my tags better or remove them all together? I believe it's the fact that the same page can be accessed by 3 different url's because of the tags it's under and that in the tag urls, only teaser descriptions of the posts are being display, not the full post, but the seomoz tools still consider it as duplicated content.

Yahoo Store Beginner with "duplicate content" errors. Can I pay for support? $$$
Hi. I have a Yahoo store that seems to have many errors. We built the site for utility knowing NOTHING about SEO. We just started with MOZ and would love to PAY someone to help get us past the beginning stages. Is there someone familiar with the Yahoo! Store format that can charge us perhaps in hourly blocks to walk us through possible solutions to issues? One issue we are having... seems to be that our subsections which contain items that are the endpoints... I know of no way to label the sections anything but an "item". I'm wondering if this might be causing the "duplicate" error because a specific item is listed both in the section and on it's own page. please help! Thom 888-567-5194

Why are there significant changes in the amount of duplicate content without any known action?
I've noticed a surprisingly rapid change in duplicate content over the past month. I'd noticed ~6,000 instances of duplicate content, after disavowing bad links we went down to 3k, this makes perfect sense to me. But after that, without doing anything whatsoever, from last Thursday, the 20th, to yesterday the instances of duplicate content decreased again down to 2k. Could this just be a delayed indexing of pages or are there other factors here? Thanks for the help.

Duplicate Content even when Canonical is used
Hi Everyone, Our website uses the Magento platform which is notorious for creating duplicate content. I tried to make sure that all the duplicate content it creates should be "canonicalized" to the correct page. While looking through the moz Page Diagnostics I see that I have 1003(!) pages of duplicate content. When I downloaded the csv I saw that over 95% of them had a canonical url. Does that mean there is really no issue but moz analytics is still reading it as duplicate content and titles? Is there an issue with them being canonicals as opposed to being redirected? Thanks!

Duplicate Content
My website is hosted by Hubspot. With each blog I write I can tag them to be listed in a specific category. As an example, one blog article my have three tags or categories that it fits in. Seomoz is seeing this as a duplication of content. in other words, if you go to the different category pages the same article would be listed on all three pages, even though it is just one article. However, I only have 36 duplicate content warnings and I have 150 blog articles, each having 2 or 3 tags (categories.), so there should be many more than 36 duplications. Is this something that affects my seo, or should I just ignore the problem and check these warnings as fixed? Thanks,

Reducing duplicate content
Callcatalog.com is a complaint directory for phone numbers. People post information on the phone calls they get. Since there are many many phone numbers, obviously people haven't posted information on ALL of the phone numbers, THUS I have many phone numbers with zero content. SEOMoz is telling me that pages with zero content looks like duplicate content with each other.. The only difference between two pages that have zero coments is the title and phone number embedded in the page. For example, http://www.callcatalog.com/phones/view/413-563-3263 is a page that has zero comments.. I don't want to remove these zero comment phone number pages from the directory since many people find the pages via a phone number search. Here's my question: what can I do to make google / seomoz think that thexe zero comment pages is not dupliicate content?
