Duplicate conent

I found some duplicate content on my site.... but in my SEOMOZ campaigns account. It says that I do not have duplicate content...
what is wrong? is the tool working ?
-
I have put my site in copyscape.com for a full duplicate content check...
there are 2 pages duplicate... oops I remember those... the legal policy I was bored to write and sorry sorry got too much from other sites but my fault... i was just too lazy for that page...
then you small things.... but over all it is no more than 5% to 10% or even less...

should I be worry ?

How much does the content that you've found contribute to the page? Is it 10% of the page? 15%? More?
I ask because there appears to be a threshold, an invisible line in the sand if you will, that will tell the SEOMoz crawler and the Google bot. Some duplicate content is always to be expected - after all site navigations are replicated on every page. With my current client as well, we need to have a risk warning and an FSA disclaimer on each page of our website for legal reasons. We've not been flagged for duplicate content because we add as much rich and unique content to the page as possible. So you have some degree of leniency.
If the duplicate content takes up most of the content on the page and the crawler hasn't flagged it, it may not have been able to find it. In this case, fix the duplicate content issue ASAP, but then look at your site architecture to see if a crawler could easily access the page in less than 5 steps/links - and check your source code to see if there's any meta data blocking crawlers in the header and also in your robots.txt file.
Hope this helps!

it is the index page of the site

It could well be that one of the pages on which the duplicate content exists has a NoIndex tag - have you checked that? That way it wouldn't be picked up by search engines.
Or, is one of the pages simply low down the webpage food chain and not being picked up at all?

Duplicate Content for Default Document Domains
I've noticed recently that within the Moz Crawl Report I keep seeing duplicate content for one of our pages that pulls from a default document. The pages are product pages, one ending in releases/ and the other ending in releases/index and are both identical pages. Normally in these situations I would prefer to make sure that every link is being sent to the releases/ page, however according to Moz, the releases/index page is actually ranking better and has a higher internal link count. Can someone advise me on the best way to deal with this situation? Hopefully I've explained myself well enough! Thanks Sam

Duplicate content
Hi Since adding blog to a site semoz is reporting increased duplicate content warning on seomoz crawl error tool such as: /blog/category/easter being a duplicate of blog/2013/03 Does this type of dupe content matter ? If so how do you stop this ? Also pages and pages of dupe content reported from internal/site search results, such as: /catalogsearch/result/index/?q=mens+fashion being a duplicate of /catalogsearch/result/?q=mens+fashion Does this matter need to be fixed or since internal site search not an issue and can just ignore, if it is an issue what do you need do to fix this type of dupe content ? Cheers Dan

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?

Why does SEOMoz think I have duplicate content?
The SEOmoz crawl report shows me a large amount of duplicate content sites. Our site is built on a CMS that creates the link we want it to be but also automatically creates it's own longer version of the link (e.g. http://www.federalnational.com/About/tabid/82/Default.aspx and http://www.federalnational.com/about.aspx). We set the site up so that there are automatic redirects for our site. Google Webmaster does not see these pages as duplicate pages. Why does SEOmoz consider them duplicate content? Is there a way to weed this out so that the crawl report becomes more meaningful? Thanks!

Canonical URLs and Duplicate Page Content
My website (doctor directory) is getting a lot of duplicate page content & duplicate page title warnings from SEOmoz. The pages that are getting the warnings are doctors profiles which can be accessed at three different URLs. Problem is this should be handled by the canonical tag on the pages. So example below, all three open the same page: https://www.arzttermine.de/arzt/dr-sara-danesh/ https://www.arzttermine.de/arzt/dr-sara-danesh/gkv https://www.arzttermine.de/arzt/dr-sara-danesh/pkv Here's our canonical tag (on line 34): rel="canonical" href="http://www.arzttermine.de/arzt/dr-sara-danesh" /> So why is SEO moz crawling the page? We are getting hundreds of errors from this - and yet Google doesn't have any of the duplicate URLs indexed...
