Why are my Duplicated Pages not being updated?
-
I've recently changed a bunch of duplicated pages from our site. I did get a slightly minimized amount of duplicated pages, however, some of the pages that I've already fixed are still unfixed according to MOZ. Whenever I check the back-end of each of these pages, I see that they've already been changed and non of them are the same in terms of Meta Tag Title is concern.
Can anyone provide any suggestions on what I should do to get a more accurate result? Is there a process that I'm missing?

Moz doesn't check only on the title or other meta tags. You could have an entirely different title and if the page content is the same it will bring up a duplicate content flag.
As an example, on our blog we had duplicate content alerts between categories and tag pages (ie Category page 2 had the same content as tag page 20). Instead of changing the contents of the pages (as it was nearly impossible) we decided to add a meta noindex to the tag pages. All duplicate content issues resolved
Anyway, Moz crawls your page once a week, if you did the changes recently, check the date of the last crawl under your campaign overview.

Usually it takes a few days to update the report with the changes you have made! If you think that its more than a week and your files are still not updated in that case it is a good idea to email Moz support at help@moz.com
hope this helps!

Hi Ronald,
When did you make these changes. When you change something, it doesn't immediately take effect. It takes a while and the time varies. Be patient and wait.
Hope you will see the changes soon.

Car Dealership website - Duplicate Page Content Issues
Hi, I am currently working on a large car dealership website. I have just had a Moz crawl through and its flagging a lot of duplicate page content issues, these are mostly for used car pages. How can I get round this as the site stocks many of the same car, model, colour, age, millage etc. Only unique thing about them is the reg plate. How do I get past this duplicate issue if all the info is relatively the same? Anyone experienced this issue when working on a car dealership website? Thank you.

Can you 301 redirect a page to an already existing/old page ?
If you delete a page (say a sub department/category page on an ecommerce store) should you 301 redirect its url to the nearest equivalent page still on the site or just delete and forget about it ? Generally should you try and 301 redirect any old pages your deleting if you can find suitable page with similar content to redirect to. Wont G consider it weird if you say a page has moved permenantly to such and such an address if that page/address existed before ? I presume its fine since say in the scenario of consolidating departments on your store you want to redirect the department page your going to delete to the existing pages/department you are consolidating old departments products into ?

Uservoice and Duplicate Page Content
Hello All, I'm having an issue where the my UserVoice account is creating duplicate page content (image attached). Any ideas on how to resolve the problem? A couple solutions we're looking into: moving the uservoice content inside the app, so it won't get crawled, but that's all we got for now. Thank you very much for your time any insight would be helpful. Sincerely,

How do I eliminate duplicate url, duplicate title issues using Joomla CMS?
We have a site using Joomla CMS, integrated with Jreviews and Jomsocial. Utilizing ACE SEF to generate Dynamic URL structure. Our issue is that we are recieving multiple instances of duplicate url's and duplicate titles due to the way joomla is working with jreviews for all our 7,000+ business listings. Site is already ranked for many broad/national keywords, concerned that our state and local rankings are limited by these errors. How can we prevent this from happening without re-writing the entire website?
