Hi Can anyone please help.
Using the weekly moz reports I realised that my website has gone from 2 duplicate pages to over 5000. As well as this pages with "too long URL" has jumped to over 5000 as well as missing meta tags.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Download the CSV report and take a look at the URLs to see if they offer a clue. It could be that suddenly there's new pagination or session IDs that are being indexed.

The duplicate content issue you can easily solve by installing Yoast SEO plugin and noindexing the tag pages (you can also noindex categories, archives etc if you need).
Here is a great guide to stetting up the plugin properly and eliminating those page duplication errors http://moz.com/blog/setup-wordpress-for-seo-success
Hope this helps!

What CMS are you using? Could be a problem with a plugin or code.

Moz only crawling one page of a campaign, please help
Today I set up a new campaign for a client, however the crawl has only found the home page and is saying that the URL is unavailable. The site is definitely live and the URL is correct. I have set up the campaign 3 times one with the full address (http://www.) one with www. and with just the domain name. All three of these have come page with one page crawled and "unavailable" above the URL. It is picking up the crawl issues on the page and showing domain authority but I don't know why it's not crawling other pages. Prior to setting up the campaign I did a site crawl and Moz found everything then, so I don't know why it isn't now. Please help. Thanks

Not able to access Moz pro page and my campaigns
Hi, I could not able to access my campaign pages (pro home page). I received the below issue while logged into my account. This webpage has a redirect loop The webpage at http://moz.com/pro/home has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer. Learn more about this problem. Error code: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS I have checked on both firefox,chrome browsers after cleared the history and cookies. Also checked with different ISP providers. But received the same. Has anyone experienced the same? Plz help.
