Duplicate content errors

[phes]

Hi

I am getting some errors for duplicate content errors in my crawl report for some of our products

www.....com/brand/productname1.html

www.....com/section/productname1.html

www.....com/productname1.html

we have canonical in the header for all three pages

rel="canonical" href="www....com/productname1.html" />

Thanks paul

If the errors were fixed since the last weekly crawl you will not see the changes reflected until you get the new weeks crawl data.

This campaign has been running for three weeks and I have corrected many of the errors, in fact I thought I had corrected all the errors. I was waiting for this weeks campaign to confirm the errors were fixed so that I could report back to my client but now have these new errors

I'd love to help get an answer for you! This is Abe from the Moz Help Team. Were these changes made after your weekly crawl took place?

Well if everything is correct in the header then technically you don't have any problem. So you're not really waiting for something to clear up, you're just waiting for Moz to catch up. If you could post one of the URLs here I could provide a second set of eyes to double-check your canonical.

right thats a bit painful, need to wait a week to see if it clears itself

[MikeRoberts]

Occasionally I've had issues where Moz doesn't seem to recognize the canonical right away (or sometimes randomly forgets the canonical is there when its seen it before) and reports duplicate content to me. Its ultimately always cleared itself up though. Double-check your canonicals are definitely written correctly, in the right spot and pointing to the right URL. If they are, I'd say wait to see if Moz fixes itself next crawl.
