Moz analytics telling me I have duplicate content issues - how to fix this?
-
Hey guys,
Okay I ran into moz analytics - I have I have 199 Issues, priority issues are showing 38 Duplicate page content. I began looking into the URL's and from what I have noticed from all the urls are showing me a common theme.
The urls are pointing to my blog pages - my blog is using wordpress. What iv noticed is the urls all have "Tag" in it
Here are 3 examples that I have found. All url's take me to a blank page:
Does anyone know what the solution is to fixing this? I read the article for duplicate content covering 301 redirects and Rel=Canonical tags - I'm wondering if this would need to be considered in this case? However I find it confusing that these pages for to a blank page.

Thanks Thomas for your clear instructions, this definately helped alot!
A question - with regards to the **Taxonomies **I checked all that you referred to, however I seem to have an extra one for ad groups?
Under XML sitemaps - I see tags and categories under this section do should I un-check this area also?

Is the Moz Ranking Report correct?
Hello here, today I got my weekly report from Moz by email and it reported a strong decline of rankings on some of our major keywords. Then I went to check on Google personally, and instead I found my pages ranked much higher than reported by Moz (please note that my results wasn't personalized...). I also use a desktop program to check my rankings, and what I found personally on Google corresponded to what my desktop program reported me. Here is an example: my website is virtualsheetmusic.com, and Moz reported a rank NOT in top 50 for the following keyword: "moonlight sonata sheet music" Whereas we are actually on the 19th spot. Another example for the keyword "czardas violin sheet music", Moz reports NOT in top 50, whereas we are actually at the 5th spot on the first page of Google results! Why's this? Anyone can explain? Is there anything wrong with Moz ranking report?

Why Are Moz Pro Ranking SOOOO Inaccurate?
I have a set of keywords for which I have been consistently ranking in the top 10 for months. Moz Pro, a service that I pay for, has shown for the past couple of months that I don't even rank in the top 50. Google Webmaster Tools confirms that I have been ranking in the top 10 for these keywords. Am I doing something wrong or is Moz Pro more of an estimation tool? Thanks 😉
