Duplicate Page and Title Content

[Corporate_Synergies]

We applied the tag to our website but Moz still picked up an error in Duplicate Page Content and Duplicate Title for http://www.corpsyn.com/ and http://www.corpsyn.com/index.html after the crawl was completed yesterday.

From the forum last week, we tried using the rel=”canonical” tag to tell the Moz crawler that the two pages are the same on purpose but it didn't work.

Below is how the code looks on our site up until the rel=”canonical” tag  is added:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<title>Group Employee Health Benefits | National Insurance Broker</title>
        css/style.css" type="text/css" />
        css/style_index.css" type="text/css" />
        ”http://www.corpsyn.com” />

Is there something else we can try?

Thanks

Hey Everyone,

Thank you for the great answers! I just wanted confirm we do take canonical tags into heavy consideration when validating duplicate pages.

Hope you guys have a great weekend!

I think they do.

Our scenario:

http://domain.com and http://domain.com/index both load with the same content, with the proper canonical tag, and we are not getting any duplicate content warning (or titles and desc's).

Best to ask a staff this , but I am pretty sure Moz does not take canonical into account while scanning for duplicate titles.

[FedeEinhorn]

Agreed.

”http://www.corpsyn.com” />

Issue: the quotation marks!

FIX: set them right: " . I think that what you used is called "Double prime".

"http://www.corpsyn.com" />

Hope that helps!

Your rel canonical is put up wrongly

Its been set up as - http://www.corpsyn.com/”http://www.corpsyn.com”

which is incorrect

Visit this url:-  view-source:http://www.corpsyn.com/

Click on stylesheet url - it will land you correctly. Click on canonical url - it will land you on wrong page
