Duplicate content found in scan
-
On June 8th we ran a Moz Crawl on our site. We found 144 pages that were flagged with duplicate content.
Again on June 13th we ran another moz crawl on our site and found 137 pages that were flagged with duplicate content. Then one final scan on June 22nd with 161 pages of duplicate content.After comparing the 3 different scans I see that, without making any changes, pages that were not flagged as duplicate content are now being flagged as duplicate content. While at the same time, pages that were originally flagged as duplicate content are now no longer showing up with duplicate content. I could understand if we made some changes to these pages but no changes were made.
For example: On the 8th this page was flagged as duplicate content - https://www.stickylife.com/star-magnet
On the 13th and 22nd it was not flagged as duplicate content but no changes were made to that page. For reference it was flagged as duplicate content with the following page: https://www.stickylife.com/baseball-glove-magnet This page was also Not changed or altered between between these dates.In addition, when Moz scans our site through our campaign every Friday the results do not match what we see when we do a manual scan. Moz's weekly scan only reveals 14 pages with duplicate content as opposed to the numbers you see above.
Why such inconsistencies in the Moz Scans?

Should keywords found in a keyword tool (eg. Keyword explorer) be implemented on a page in the exact order?
Hi guys, I have a question about adding keywords found directly from a keyword tool onto a webpage. I see a keyword opportunity from Moz's Keyword Explorer, for example, "dog giardia treatment natural" and was wondering if it should be worked into the page exactly in that order? For example, I've modified the question on the page to now read "Are there any other dog Giardia treatments that are natural?" Is this good practice? Should it be exactly in the order of the keyword found in the tool? Is what I've done too spammy? Appreciate any help! Thanks

Moz Content --- for SEO or simply user engagement?
What is the primary function of Moz Content? It looks like it is most useful for managing content as a user engagement tool. Our content strategy is centered on boosting organic placement - with user engagement as a nice but unessential side product. Besides providing general descriptive details of a site's content / authorship - how can Moz Content help with SEO?

Duplicate Page and Title Issues
On the last crawl, we received errors for duplicate page titles and some duplicate content pages. Here is the issue: We went through our page titles that were marked as duplicate and changed them to make sure their titles were different. However, we just received a new crawl this week and it is saying there are even more duplicate page title errors detected than before. We're wondering if this is a problem with just us or if it has been happening to other Moz users. As for the duplicate content pages, what is the best way to approach this and see what content is being looked at as a "duplicate" set?

Moz Crawler not Identifying all Duplicate Pages
On two recent site crawls (9/27/14 and 11/4/14) for duplicate content the Moz tool did not ID the following 2 pages, which are 100% duplicate to each other: http://www.hooksandlattice.com/planter-hampton-241212.html ; Screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/DdwWroUU http://www.hooksandlattice.com/planter-hampton-721212.html ; Screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/8Lb1cJZmGrhX As I'm working feverishly to re-write and update the site (goal is ZERO duplicates) I'm finding it challenging to use the Moz tool to get the project done. Does anyone have any feedback or help they can provide for how I can identify all duplicate pages associated with my domain? Thank you! Lindsey Pfeiffer

Duplicate page titles
Hi -- A crawl tells me I have 200 duplicate page titles. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell me what those pages are duplicating. What do I do with this information? How do I begin to respond? Thanks
