Dupe content report showing in 'Errors' section when surely should be in 'Warnings' section ?
-
Why is the dupe content info showing in errors and not warnings ?
Since if dupe content can get your site penalised (as per Panda) or worse banned, surely it should be in that section of reports ?

Ah, I understand what you're saying. I think part of it may be that many of the errors are more technical in nature - they're severe, but not generally "black-hat" or "gray-hat" kind of things. Massive dupe content can get you hit with Panda, but people debate whether that's a Capital-P "penalty" (which some reserve mostly for manual penalties). Unfortunately, it is a bit of a loaded word.
Of course, all the copy is changing in Moz Analytics, so this may be a moot point

Hey Dr Pete, thanks for commenting
Sorry to be confusing, i appreciate i'm probably being a tad pedantic here but i just would have thought that the subheader for the 'crawl errors' section in the reports summary would, similar to the 'crawl warnings' subheader, also mention 'could be penalised' (due to things like dupe content being potential causes of a penalty) ?
All Best

Sorry, I'm confused - we do consider it very serious, and "error" is our top level of priority.
-
i would have thought getting penalized by engines more serious
-
Yes, errors are a more severe category than warnings.

Perhaps their word choice is off, but from my understanding "errors" are more severe than 'warnings," hence the red for errors vs the yellow for warnings. They probably put "dupe content" in errors, because it's more dangerous for your site.

Crawl Diagnostics: How many pages (deep) will it crawl for dup content
Does anyone know how deep the crawl diagnostics will crawl when searching for dup content? Will it crawl the entire site, or will it only crawl "x" amount of pages? Thanks!

Why is the exact same URL being seen as duplicate and showing an error in my SEO reports
Well, I am still having duplicate page issues. I have a question about one of the errors SEO is giving me when I download a crawl report. I am going to attach a screen shot of part of the report so you can see for yourself, along with explaining it here. SEO shows the list of URL's that it crawled in the report. In this(see attachment) portion of the report it has 321 results for the exact same URL. It also says all of these exact same URL's have received a 404 error. What I want to know is how does it make 321 results for the same URL? And with this error that I don't see when I look at the page? 0hkRDST

Moz.com Report a Problem or Provide Feedback
Two things. First, I could not find exactly where to report an issue or provide feedback about the website. I don't need to contact about Moz Analytics or any other products. I just want to provide feedback about the Moz Blog. I think it would be nice to be able to report an issue or provide feedback to "Roger" and have that item sent to the appropriate department for review. A lot of websites tend to use "[email protected]" for this, but anything would work. My suggestion is to offer a feedback form on the Contact Moz page. Second, the issue I wanted to report has to do with blog comments. I left a comment early this morning and, with me being on Central Time and the timestamp for comments using Seattle local time, I was surprised to see that my comment had been posted "2 hours ago" immediately after I clicked "Submit." I presume this text is dynamic and that, in Seattle, you see "seconds ago" or something but, being in Wisconsin, I see "2 hours ago." This is confusing mainly because I have no idea how long ago other comments may have been posted. P.S. There isn't a question category for the Moz Blogs so I am choosing Moz - Other Research Tools. I view the blogs as a Product Moz provides so maybe adding "Moz - Blogs" to the Moz Product Help list of categories would be appropriate.

Why do the crawl diagnostics indicate duplicate page content among blog postings hosted by WordPress?
Does anyone know why the crawl diagnostics indicate duplicate page content regarding the blog we are hosting on WordPress? And does anyone know how to fix this issue? The content is not, or does not appear to be duplicate.
