Duplicate content flagged by Moz that's not actually duplicate content at all
-
Hi,
Moz has flagged a whole lot of pages as dupe content, but I cannot see how they qualify as such.
Not sure if I'm allowed to post actual URLs here....happy to if I can, but I feel certain that the pages are not 90% similar.Has anyone else had this experience?

I'm also still having the issue, thanks for revisiting it.

I'm gonna comment again to "bump" this thread back up. Is anyone else having these issues? Moz's crawler seems to be kinda freakin' out. It'll tell us that we have duplicate content / title tags / meta description when it's simply not true. It will also say it's unable to crawl a site due to something on our end (even though it was crawling just fine the day prior) and then it will fix itself with no work on our part.

Yes, we are having the same issues.

New Mozscape index released! Learn just what's been going on.
Hi everyone, I'm very, very pleased to announce that the latest Mozscape index has been released five days ahead of schedule, and it's back up to the quality you expect from Moz! It's no secret that we've struggled this year with our index. I can't overstate how much we appreciate everyone sticking with us—we know how hard this has been. The good news—well, apart from the early release—is that we've worked out the issue, and we expect to finally be back on track moving forward. Director of Engineering Martin York has shared a post to the Moz blog explaining just what's been going so wrong, and outlining our plan for the future. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for being such an incredible community. As for the folks who are seeing Domain Authority and Page Authority drops since the index release, please see Rand's recent post for more.

Duplicate content nightmare
Hey Moz Community I ran a crawl test, and there is a lot of duplicate content but I cannot work out why. It seems that when I publish a post secondary urls are being created depending on some tags and categories. Or at least, that is what it looks like. I don't know why this is happening, nor do I know if I need to do anything about it. Help? Please.

Duplicate content across two websites
Hi. I'm looking at ways to compare duplicate content across two different websites instead of one, as with the Moz crawler. Instead it will flag up up duplicates present on both site A and B.

Duplicate page content due to Sort By dropdown
Hi there, I have over 150 Duplicate Page Title errors showing up in SEOMoz but on closer inspection these are related to the 'Sort By:' functionality on our ecommerce site that allows customers to sort our products by Price, Alphabetically etc. To give an example: http://www.parklanechampagne.co.uk/park-lane-champagne/special-occasions/easter Is showing as being duplicated by this page: http://www.parklanechampagne.co.uk/park-lane-champagne/special-occasions/easter?productlisting_page=1&sortorder=Price Does anyone know how I can resolve this? Any help greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Jon CDFyp.jpg

Duplicate Content
I have tried searching for an exact example of the issues I am seeing, but didn't come up with anything. I decided to post my own question so I can get a direct answer on what I am experiencing. I recently took over a website and its' existing SEO practices with it. Upon placing the site on SEOmoz, I received many (LOTS) of duplicate content warnings. Pretty much, this is how the website is setup: domain.com/keyword-is-here/ but it is also coming up as domain.com/keyword-is-here/index.htm - Should I setup a redirect so domain.com/keyword-is-here/index.htm points to domain.com/keyword-is-here.htm or should I just leave it alone since it's pointing to the same exact? Any information on this questions is greatly appreciated in advance.

Does Open Site Explorer violate Google's Terms of service?
According to Google's Webmaster Guidelines: "Don't use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc. Such programs consume computing resources and violate our Terms of Service." Does that mean Open Site Explorer is a violation of those Terms of Service, or is it authorized?

Open Site Explorer Missing URL's
I see a link to my site on a couple different url's, but they are not listed in OSE. The links have been active for a long time too. Does OSE not track all inbound links from all sites? Thanks, Stephen
