Moz says I am missing titles and meta tags and have duplicate content
-
I just redesigned my website and suddenly traffic has dropped.
Moz says I am missing titles, meta tag descriptions and have a lot of duplicate content.
My site is http://skigenie.com and is full of unique and hand written content,.
Are there any wordpress plugins that will add titles etc to my pages (some of the added ones are custom)?
Any help would be much appreciated!

You can setup Yoast Wordpress SEO or All In One SEO Pack and set them to block duplicate content (tags, categories, date archives, etc.) when you configure settings.
-
Also, if your new website means that the URLs of your pages have changed you'll want to think about implementing some 301 redirects to your new pages. Check your inbound links and make sure that the target pages are redirected to the most relevant new page.

YOAST SEO plugin is one of the best SEO plugins, you can manage OG meta and force rewrite rules on custom pages
-
Do you know how I can fix it? Is there a plugin or another method?
-
Yes, that's correct. You have OG:title and OG:description (opengraph data) but you don't have a <title>tag or meta description on your pages.</p> <p>The duplicate content is your /tag/ URLs:</p> <p><a href="http://skigenie.com/tag/skis/">http://skigenie.com/tag/skis/</a> has the same info as http://skigenie.com/tag/find-skis/</p> <p> </p></title>

Unsolved Why doesn't moz notify me of missing image alt tags
We had a client come to us and let us know another vendor had notified them that many of the images on their site are missing alt tags / text. I know this was a big deal back in the day, but I haven't heard much about it lately. I am assuming if it doesn't even show up in the Moz site crawl, it must not be a big deal any more, but I would love to have more info about how important image alt tags are and if they are important, why Moz does not report them.

H1 tag Audit & Image Alt Tag Audit Tools
Hi Mozzers, Anyone know of a good FREE tool that has no limits to use to scrape my site for H1 tags & image alt tags by page? Ideally it would produce a report with a list of page URLs, corresponding H1 tags and each image alt tag on each page. Anyone? Bueller?

Duplicate Page Title - although there are differences
Hello, I get duplicate page titles errors on pages in which there are little differences. For example: C++ Online Test for Seniors C# Online Test for Seniors I assume that from some reason the ++ and the # are removed when SEOMoz crawler checks for duplicate page titles. As you may know C# and C++ means two different programming languages. Should I do something about it or is it a bug in the crawler?

Sorting Dupe Content Pages
Hi, I'm no excel pro, and I'm having a bit of a challenge interpreting the Crawl Diagnostics export .csv file. I'd like to see at a glance which of my pages (and I have many) are the worst offenders for dupe content – ie. which have the most "Other URLs" associated with them. Thanks, would appreciate any advice on how other people are using this data, and/or how 'Moz recommends to do it. 🙂

How Do I deal with duplicate page titles for pages on eCommerce site
Hi We have an ecommerce site selling physical products. There are a few areas where the products run into two pages. I have used canonical meta tags and next and prev meta tags too. Despite this SEOMOZ reports are still displaying these as warnings for duplicate page titles. An example would be /brand_name/range/ <link rel="next" href="/brand_name/range/?page=2" /> <link rel="<a class="attribute-value">canonical</a>" href="/band_name/range/"/> /brand_name/range/?page=2 <link rel="<a class="attribute-value">prev</a>" href="/brand_name/range/" /> <link rel="<a class="attribute-value">canonical</a>" href="/band_name/range/?page=2"/> Should I be doing something different?
