Error in Moz duplicate content reports
-
Hi - I've run the Moz campaign on a client's site.
Moz is saying that there are duplicate content errors, and when I look at the errors it is showing that they are all to do with the non-www URLs having being duplicated in the www form of the URLs.
However this is not the case - all the non-www URLs are all 301 redirected to the www URLs.
Is this an error in the Moz tool? Has anybody experienced something similar?

Hi Peter,
If pages suspect of duplicate content all register a 200, does that mean they are true duplicates? I am having a situation where all of our links with parameters are being reported as duplicate; however, we have canonical tags in place and have Google set to ignore parameters.
However, when I run the site through Screaming Frog, all pages register 200s. -
Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out to us! I am sorry if you might be seeing some discrepancies between our report vs. what you are seeing. I looked into the campaigns you were mentioning, it looks like the non www urls aren't redirecting with a 301 to the www url like you mentioned, what I am seeing is that they are still sites that register a 200 response. You can actually see their http response here:

Hope that helps, at this time we aren't getting any reports of issues with the crawler, but if this is stilling happening after you put in a 301 redirect please let us know at [email protected]
Best,
Peter

Unsolved Why is Moz reporting 308s as 302s?
Got a looooong list of redirect issues in my crawl for a new client, all reported as 302s but as far as I can see they are all 308s... which is perfectly fine, right, or have I missed a memo? They even confirm the 308 status in the moz detail.

Duplicate content across two websites
Hi. I'm looking at ways to compare duplicate content across two different websites instead of one, as with the Moz crawler. Instead it will flag up up duplicates present on both site A and B.

Ranking report not accurate
I've justed signed up for SEOMOZ and testing out the ranking report software. For a client that I'm doing an audit for I've ran a ranking report against the keywords. Using Chrome Incognito I've checked the ranking and they are on the 1st page but the ranking report is showing they aren't in the top 43, any ideas why this might be? I've checked my setting and set up and that's all fine.

Duplicate page content on / and index.php
Hi I am new to SEOmoz and in the crawl diagnostics for one of my clients it came back duplicate content on the homepage www.myclient.co.uk and on the www.myclient.co.uk/index.php which is obviously the same page. I understand that the key is to do a 301 redirect from the index to /, however how will I know that this will not just create an ever ending loop on the server? From your experience how is the best way to tackle this crawl error? Also is there a specific question that I need to ask the server?

Question About Moz Reports
Hey guys Is it possible to change the date/time that SEOmoz runs its ranking reports? I put together ranking reports each Monday which I need to feedback to the business and it would be good if I could schedule these for late Sunday or early Monday mornings for me coming in to the office.

Is there a Tool to compare Duplicate content for non web Live content?
Is there a tool that can give me % of duplicate content when comparing two pieces of content that are not Live on the web? Like copyscape but for content that may not be indexed by copyscape or not live on the web? Does Word or any other program allow you do do this?
