Company Name in Page Title creating thousands of "Duplicate Page Title" errors
-
I am new, and I just got back my crawl results (after a week or more).
The first thing I noticed is that the "duplicate page title" is in the thousands, my urls and page titles are different.
The only thing I can see is that our company name is at appended to the name of every title.
I did search and found one other person with this problem, but no answer was given.
Can anyone offer some advice? This doesn't seem right...
Thanks,

In that case I would be curious what the answer is as well because I have the same situation with pages that are named "Example Title | Page 1 | Company Name", "Example Title | Page 2 | Company Name". I'm assuming the algorithm looks the percentage difference to dictate whether a title is different, not the actual different.
The above would drop over 500 Duplicate Page Title errors if the Page 1 & 2 were considered actually different.

I edited my question, the specific error is with "duplicate page title" not content

Did you look at the pages themselves that they are showing the link to? I had the same problem when I started and it was because of the dynamic linking. RogerBot was able to crawl through pages that were auto generated, example a previous page link that would allow you to go back 6 years by stepping through each month, I figure no human would follow that link when it said "There is no data for this or any previous month", however a bot would just keep going and see duplicate content pages.
Note that there are "Duplicate Content" and "Duplicate Title" items, what you explain with the company title would be a duplicate title issue.

I have the same issue. Can SEOMoz respond? Thanks.

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.

Why did I not get on page analysis
I signed up last Friday for a 30 day trial and was hoping to get the on page analysis so I could get cracking on it. Moz said the crawl was done but I have no info for on page analysis which I find really useful when I have used this before. Any ideas and are any of the MOZ moderators able to get the system to perform one so I can make changes tonight for the MOZ crawl again tomorrow? Thanks Paul

Pro newbie - What is a "campaign"?
I signed up three weeks ago and the first email to me begins with: The first step in PRO is to set up your campaign. Once we start tracking your site and social media accounts, you'll start receiving handy reports of your data. You can also surface site issues right in the app to help you prioritize which fixes you can make for immediate results. At this point I don't know what kind of "campaign" this is or what the "app" is. I have also lodged a ticket because something seems to be broken about my Pro status. I can obviously participate here, so I have a Pro status, but at OSE, it says "Social metrics only available to paid Moz subscribers. Learn more" and hit my Advanced Report limit for the day without seeing any such report.

On Page Analysis and Grading
I received an email that my on page analysis for my campaigns were completed. But when I click on the link there are no grades there. What does that mean? Another question on this topic....when your campaign is graded are pages graded on all the keywords in the campaign or is each keyword graded invidividually? Thanks!
