Duplicate page reported in Wordpress site, but I can't find it in All Pages list
-
In a crawl report a duplicate page content warning has been displayed. The two urls are
1. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop
and
2. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/It's a WordPress site and I cannot find the second page anywhere in the list of All Pages in the Admin (I want to add canonicalisation code) When I view the 2nd page and click Edit Page, it redirects to the 1st page.
Any ideas where SEOMoz would be finding this 2nd page or how it might be being generated?
(btw I didn't build this site)
Thanks
Simon

Have you gotten the opportunity to run the site through
http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test
it tells you it takes 2 days but I find normally takes about 20 min. the information it gives I think is far greater than what Google Webmaster tools can ever do. Are you replying to me when you say you think it's correct about the pages having one being a category and the other being a page? Were you referring to the challenge that posted 1st? I do a lot of WordPress and would be more than happy to look at it again if you would like me to?
this answered your question then? if it did please follow the guidelines and give credit where you feel are appropriate.
Respectfully,
Thomas Zickell

Hi,
Yes I think that's correct. As it turns out Google Webmaster didn't pick up on this as a problem, though it did list all the pages that form part of the checkout process which I've blocked using robots.txt)
Think I'm all good now, thanks for the replies!

I just wanted to be clear the reason you cannot find it in your page list is it's in your categories list
-
I would have to strongly agree with Chris's guests or that WordPress is simply treating your category as a page as it does commonly. The 2 I received are the ones below. You can clearly see 2 separate and URLs with category catalog being the difference any category can be a page
http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/
http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/
I hope I have been of some help to you,
Thomas

It looks like the page that links to the page:
http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/
is the "prev" and "1" link in the pagination menu on this page:

SERP Overlay Won't Show Up
I'm using the latest version of Chrome. I'm logged into Moz and the SERP Overlay is turned on. I turn it off and on again, and then it says "loading" beneath all the search results. Any answers would be appreciated, thanks!

Page Authority is the same on every page of my site
I'm analyzing a site and the page authority is the exact same for every page in the site. How can this be since the page authority is supposed to be unique to each page?

For pro members: Is there a way to see exactly what "it" is that is duplicate? Also, what % of duplicate content is required to be labeled as dupped. Much thanks, Chenzo

Rankings csv export doesn't show local rank
Is there a way to enable this in the settings somewhere? or is this simply not an available feature yet? Would be really great if there was an extra column in the report that shows local rank, as 93 of our top 100 keywords we track are all blended search results and a lot of the time this shows really inaccurate results because of this.

Why do pages with canonical urls show in my report as a "Duplicate Page Title"?
eg: Page One
Moz Pro | | DPSSeomonkey
<title>Page one</title>
No canonical url Page Two
<title>Page one</title> Page two is counted as being a page with a duplicate page title.
Shouldn't it be excluded?0 -
Can I get a list of all links on a given domain?
Sorry, this is actually kind of a tripartite question: I was looking at the Competitive Link Analysis on one my clients' campaigns. Sometime between June and September their total links went up by about 120,000. We have no idea where those links came from (although the numbers would indicate that they're mostly internal). Question 1: In none of the other tools can I figure out how to list these links on a domain level. Is there a way to get a list of all links for our given domain? I've been playing around with the page-by-page and even that doesn't show me everything. For example, I'm looking at OSE for their homepage and it lists 45 links for a page that it claims has 151 total. Question 2: How did it pick those 45 to display out of the 151 possible? If these are only external links, why do half of them come from one of our subdomains? Also... Question 3: If our client hasn't made any major changes recently, why has the number of internal links gone up so dramatically? Thanks.

Can't find email address or contact form on website I want link from
Hi, How do you use whois or other resources to find an email address for a site that doesn't list their email address or have a contact form? Our competitors look like they have contacted the site but I don't know how to contact the site myself. They have a facebook fan page and a twitter account. Thanks.
