Multiple meta descriptions found - MozBar
-
We are getting "Multiple meta descriptions found!" error when testing meta in the Chrome MozBar extension. We are using the Wordpress All in One SEO plugin. Thinking there may be a conflict with default meta description being blank and needing removed to not conflict with meta generated by All in One SEO.
Curious if anyone has come across this and any info on eradicating the issue would be greatly appreciated. Most likely a newbie question on my part.
Thanks!

I think I misunderstood - I thought you were reporting an issue with the MozBar, but it sounds like you are asking for advice on an issue that surfaced through the MozBar. I will let you guys figure it out from here!

I checked the homepage and the housing page and both have the blank description tag. It definitely looks like a plugin/theme issue. Looks like your All in One SEO plugin descriptions are showing alright. Check in your theme files, specially header.php and see if there's an empty description tag in there. You never know, it happens sometimes

-Seeing it site wide and other sites we recently launched so assuming I may need to hit up All in One SEO support and continue to troubleshoot conflicts as Mike mentioned.
MozBar version: 2.63
Browser: Chrome

Hello! A few questions:
- are you using version 2.63 of the MozBar?
- are you seeing this on any particular sites or pages?
- Which browser are you using?
I would be happy to test this end to see if I can replicate the issue!
Thanks,
Jon

I've had this issue twice in the past. Once was because of a conflict between All In One SEO and another plugin which was fixed by updating the plugins. The second time was after a theme change where it turned out the theme had an internal suite of SEO tools that were adding the secondary description which was fixed by shutting off those features. Without knowing all the details of your wordpress site, its a bit hard to determine the exact cause. Check that your theme doesn't have a function interfering with All In One and try turning off plugins to see if any of them are in conflict. Could be as simple as needing an update.

H1 Mystery with Mozpro and Mozbar
Moz's crawler has notified me that the H1s for all the blog posts are missing but Mozbar says the page title is designated as the H1 for each post. In Wordpress, the code to the page title is not accessible in "text." I viewed page source and took a look through the code to find the H1 connected to the page title, but couldn't locate it. Usually, Wordpress themes automatically give the page title an H1 tag. Interested to hear any further insights on this topic...

Duplicate Site Content found in Moz; Have a URL Parameter set in Google Webmaster Tools
Hey, So on our site we have a Buyer's Guide that we made. Essentially it is a pop-up with a series of questions that then recommends a product. The parameter ?openguide=true can be used on any url on our site to pull this buyer's guide up. Somehow the Moz Site Crawl reported each one of our pages as duplicate content as it added this string (?openguide=true) to each page. We already have a URL Parameter set in Google Webmaster Tools as openguide ; however, I am now worried that google might be seeing this duplicate content as well. I have checked all of the pages with duplicate title tags in the Webmaster Tools to see if that could give me an answer as to whether it is detecting duplicate content. I did not find any duplicate title tag pages that were because of the openguide parameter. I am just wondering if anyone knows:

2. make sure that the parameter is set correctly in webmaster tools
3. or a better way to prevent the crawler from thinking this is duplicate content Any help is appreciated! Thanks, Mitchell Chapman

Spammy Directories Using Title Meta-Tag For Link
I've been noticing a growing amount of spammy directories using my title Meta-Tag to create a link back to my site. Since my title uses competitive keywords, these external links on spammy directories look over optimized and I fear an algo penalty might get triggered. Should I be concerned and what can I do?

Help - Analyzing Web Traffic Across Multiple Websites
Hi Moz Community, Hope you can help. Is there any way to discover the most visited pages for a particular website, one that I do not administer? I wouldn't need exact numbers, just a relative breakdown of the "Most Visited" pages/sections. For example, if I was reviewing www.jcrew.com, I'd be interested in determining the 10/20/50 most visited pages/products. And just to provide another example, I would be interested in the 10/20/50 most visited pages/stories on www.buzzfeed.com. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Ideal Campaign Set Up For Multiple Landing Pages Post Panda
I have a local floor cleaning business in the UK. I have various discrete services e.g. carpet cleaning, stone restoration and polishing (a page for each type of stone) that are delivered in distance geographical service areas. Each page is set up to target a "town/service" keyword. In each geographical location I have different competitors Should I set individual campaigns for each landing page or is one site wide campaign the way to go. Many thanks David Allen

Our recently searched Open Site backlink reports are identical to last months across multiple clients. Why is this happening?
When processing the backlink data of our clients for this month (searches done on 28th December), we're finding that the information gathered from Open Site explorer is identical to the data that was found on searches done at the end of November. It appears to have happened for the reports we use for every single client so it must be more than a coincidence. From our perspective, it's almost as if no data has been tracked since the last time we gathered backlink reports. Could you help us get to the bottom of this?
