Welcome to the Q&A Forum

For my site it is pretty common for SEOmoz to find things before WMT and for the items to disappear from my dashboard a lot sooner than in my WMT account.

I am always looking at both sources to figure out the issues that need to be fixed.  Generally I find that SEOmoz is more comprehensive in finding duplicate page titles on my site provided that they are internally linked and within my 10,000 page crawling limit.  WMT will often identify pages that I forgot even existed or that are orphaned.

As far as SEOmoz showing pages that have duplicate titles that aren't duplicates I have only seen that a couple of times and it fixed itself with the next crawl.  I attributed it to a glitch and haven't seen it recently.

It was a tough decision on what to do with the 404's on the site.  I just made a major configuration change to the server that converted a bunch of soft 404's over to hard ones.  This caused WMT to find thousands of 404 pages on the site in a matter of days.  My site doesn't link to any of these pages but most of them have external links pointing to them.

In the end I decided to redirect discontinued products to the most appropriate category page on the site and to redirect mistyped URL's etc. to the appropriate page as well.

I have been doing a bunch of 301 redirects on my site to address 404 pages and in each case I check the redirect to make sure it works.  I have also been using tools like Xenu to make sure that I'm not linking to 404 or 301 content from my site.  However on Friday I started getting "Not Followed" errors in GWT.  When I check the URL that they tell me provided the error it seems to redirect correctly.  One example is this...

http://www.mybinding.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/48738/Astrobrights-Pulsar-Pink-10-x-13-65lb-Cover-50pk

I tried a redirect tracer and it reports the redirect correctly.  Fetch as googlebot returns the correct page.  Fetch as bing bot in the new bing webmaster tools shows that it redirects to the correct page but there is a small note that says "Status: Redirection limit reached".  I see this on all of the redirects that I check in the bing webmaster portal.

Do I have something misconfigured.  Can anyone give me a hint on how to troubleshoot this type of issue.

Thanks,

Jeff
