Duplicate Page and Title Content
-
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

thanks for confirming that
-
Thanks mate.

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.
-
Agreed.
Issue: the quotation marks!
FIX: set them right: " . I think that what you used is called "Double prime".
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

Solved Page content writing tool
A long time ago I'm pretty sure I used a tool that helped me write content for a webpage. It checked my writing as I typed and gave suggestions. I can't find the tool anymore. I hope I didn't imagine it as it was really useful..

Why is Moz Crawl Diagnostics labelling pages as duplicate when they appear to be different?
Moz Crawl Diagnostics is flagging some pages on the Doorfit website as duplicate, yet the page content is completely different and not identical. Example. Page: http://www.doorfit.co.uk/locks-security/secondary-security Duplicate: http://www.doorfit.co.uk/seals-and-sealants?cat=279 Does anybody have any suggestions as to why this might be the case? Thanks

Duplicated content issue?
Hi, Moz tools tell me that I have approx. 15xx Pages with High Priority Issues [Duplicate Page Content] going thru the details here are the majority: many products no longer exist and visitor redirected (404) to a same not found page. duplicated content with url appended with utm_source/utm_medium/utm_campaign GA tracking paras. On those page there are already canonical tags plus I've configed those parameters in Google Webmaster "URL Parameters" how much of these warning could compromise the seo proformance or provided that there have been dealt with should I just ignore these warning?

Why Is My Title Element Too Long? (> 70 Characters)
I recently launched a new website and according to the Moz Crawl Diagnostics Summary, I have more than 8,000 pages that have Title Elements that are Too Long (>70 Characters). But, when I look at these Page Titles, most of them seem to be (<70 Characters). Examples (with pages linked to the actual website): Collection page // Brooklyn Nets Shirts - Nets T-Shirt, Tees, Tops | Sportiqe Apparel (Moz reports this page title is 92 characters, over by 22) Product page // EA SPORTS Boxing Shirt - Red | Sportiqe Apparel (Moz reports this page title is 73 characters, over by 3 Blog post // 50 Father's Day Gift Ideas For Dad | Sportiqe Apparel (Moz reports this page title is 79 characters, over by 9) Is there a way to verify that the Moz tool is correct, and I'm overlooking that these page titles are indeed >70 characters? Any insight on how to resolve this problem as well? Appreciate any advice or articles that discuss this issue.

Duplicate Page Content Report on Moz - Still ranking in Google Results?
Hi, I am experiencing 2 issues with the Duplicate Page Content in Moz. Every week it is notifying me of new duplicate content - so it seems to be missing duplicate content each week and the crawl is never above the 5000-6000 page mark, which means that it is under 10K which is the limit, so presumably everything is crawled in that one go so surely it should detect all of the dupe content on 1 crawl as opposed to having to do various crawls to detect it no? The dupe content report shows me pages that indeed have duplicate content but after checking, these are ranking on Google for their terms... ? Is the duplicate page content report incremental ? Will it add more duplicate content and increase the report every week or does it just show that week's results? If so, it's a bit like chasing my tail... Help!
