My report is showing duplicate titles.. for http://www.mysite.com/ & http://mysite.com
-
Is this because I setup my campaign wrong in seo moz or should I have my site setup differently to forward all traffic without the www to the www version? Or vise versa?
Thanks for any advice!

My host doesn't give me iis access but said they would set them up for me if I give them a list. I think it is time to change hosts!
Thanks for your advice!

If you have a cpanel access, can you get to IIS?
This is a walk-through copied while I was looking for answers. I don't have a lot of experience with Windows hosting so I hope it helps. As always, have backups when possible and if this doesn't make sense, it may be best to contact the host (or tell us who the host is so we can find an exact solution.)
1. In internet services manager, right click on the file or folder you wish to redirect.
2. Select "a redirection to a URL".
3. Enter the redirection page.
4. Check "The exact url entered above", and the "A permanent redirection for this resource".
5. Click "Apply". -
thanks for the clarification on that... this website is hosted on Windows... which does not allow you to use the .htaccess file for redirects... do you guys know a good alternative for windows? Thanks for any suggestions.

Claim them meaning add both to your Webmasters Tools. Then 1) set a preferred domain and 2) add rel=canonical tags. Then 3) a redirect would be good to finish it.

I think in this case 301 redirection would be good option. Why can't you permanently redirect non-www version to WWW or WWW to non-www. ( Before doing redirection please check domain authority & page authority. Do redirection on page having more domain & page authority.)
-
Thanks... when you say "claim" do you mean under the "preferred domain" ? I'm in Google Webmaster Tools > Settings?
Thanks!

You should claim both www and non-www in Webmasters Tools then choose one. Use that one on your moz campaign, as well as when linkbuilding online. That will give you the most consistent results.
Search rel=canonical and I'm sure you can find a lot of info on how to set it up appropriately.

Crawl Report shows Internal links as zero
We have recently updated our website (https://www.payumoney.com/) and created new pages like "https://www.payumoney.com/free-payment-gateway-India.html". we have internally linked all the pages, but when I check the crawl report from MOZ it shows internal links as 0 and these pages have the PA of 1 and not increasing. I am unable to find out the reason why is it happening?

Duplicate page titles and hreflang tags
Moz is flagging a lot of pages on our site which have duplicate page titles. 99% of these are international pages which hreflang tags in the sitemap. Do I need to worry about this? I assumed that it wasn't an issue given the use of hreflang. And if that's the case, why is Moz flagging them as an issue? Thanks.

The "100 links/page recommendation" - Do Duplicate Links Count?
We have way too many links on our homepage. The PageRank Link Juice Calculator (www.ecreativeim.com/pagerank-link-juice-calculator.php) counts them to 300. But all of them are not unique, that is some links point to the same URL. So my question: does the "100 links/page recommendation" refer to all anchors on the page or only to unique link target URLs? I know "100" is just a standard recommendation.

Duplicate Content for Spanish & English Product
Hi There, Our company provides training courses and I am looking to provide the Spanish version of a course that we already provide in English. As it is an e-commerce site, our landing page for the English version gives the full description of the course and all related details. Once the course is purchased, a flash based course launches within a player window and the student begins the course. For the Spanish version of the course, my target customers are English speaking supervisors purchasing the course for their Spanish speaking workers. So the landing page will still be in English (just like the English version of the course) with the same basic description, with the only content differences on that page being the inclusion of the fact that this course is in Spanish and a few details around that. The majority of the content on these two separate landing pages will be exactly the same, as the description for the overall course is the same, just that it's presented in a different language, so it needs to be 2 separate products. My fear is that Google will read this as duplicate content and I will be penalized for it. Is this a possibility or will Google know why I set it up this way and not penalize me? If that is a possibility, how should I go about doing this correctly? Thanks!

Duplicate pages
Hi, I am using a CMS that generates dynamic urls that according to the SeoMoz tool will be indexed as duplicate pages. The pages in questions are forms, blog-posts etc. that are not crucial to achieve ranking for. I do worry though about the consequences of having 20 (non-duplicate)pages with static urls and about 100 pages that are duplicates with dynamic urls. What consequences will this have for the speed that the robots crawl the site and could there be negative effects on ranking for the entire domain?

Title not showing in Serps
Sorry if I've posted in the wrong section; in a nutshell my page title for 2x key terms (that I've noticed) is not showing in the Serps for my listing. Instead, the keyphrase I'm searching for shows up, and in one case my site name is appended. Can anyone tell me why this is? If I take a stab in the dark, i'd plum for Gg not thinking my page title is up to scratch for the particular search term.... but that's just a punt. Any help, greatly appreciated. Thanks.
