Duplicate Home Page
-
'Content that is identical (or nearly identical) to content on other pages of your site forces your pages to unnecessarily compete with each other for rankings.'
Can anyone tell me why this is the case? I know for a fact that their are no other duplicates of my home page, however moz disagrees.
Cheers for any help.

It is very difficult to tell you something if you don't tell us where to find your website.
If you could post the url here in the following format: domain (dot) com then we could give you an accurate answer.My first guess is that you haven't set up a proper rel=canonical.
In the eyes of a computer the following URL's are all different pages.www.domain.com
domain.com
www.domain.com/index.html
domain.com/index.html
www.domain.com?sessionid=1
etcetera...If you're not canonicalizing your pages or redirecting them properly then a computer such as a search engine will see it as different pages with exactly the same content.
As i mentioned before, this is just a guess and i can't give a proper answer without knowing the URL of your website.
Hope my answer will be useful to you.

Moz was unable to crawl your site on Jun 22, 2020\. We were unable to access your site due to a page timeout on your robots.txt, which prevented us from crawling the rest of your site.
Site: www.kpmg.us Getting robots.txt timeout fail since 02/29/20. We've checked our server logs and see no errors. Went through all the steps of the "Troubleshooter". Updated robots.txt to allow rogerbot full access: User-agent: rogerbot

Moz bot transforms special characters into fake 404 Pages in Reports
I have a lot of 404 links in my exported Moz Pro reports which are not actually Not Found pages when checking the Referring URL. For example: Referring URL:
Link Explorer | | ProspectoGroup
https://ofertolino.ro/oferte/barn%C3%A4ngen 404:
https://ofertolino.ro/barn%C3%83%C2%A4ngen What happens is that the referring URL leads to a redirect (https://ofertolino.ro/barn%C3%A4ngen) but it never leads to the specified 404 Page (which has even a more weird symbol in the URL when it is url decoded) in the report. What could be the issue here and is the Moz bot responsible for such misbehaviour?0 -
Is there a way to download a report showing all meta descriptions for our web pages?
I see how to look at data for web pages with meta descriptions that have been flagged as being less than optimal. Is there a way to do a complete download of the meta descriptions on all our pages? (good meta as well as not so good) Thanks! Lydia

My company has about 70 live, published pages on our website, which is managed through HubSpot. When Moz crawled the URL, it found 6K+. I noticed several were URLs with a campaign tag. Is this normal? It seems excessive to me. If there's a problem, how do I fix it?

How do I fix 885 Duplicate Page Content Errors appearing in my Moz Report due to categories?
Hi There, I want to set up my Moz report to send directly to a client however there are currently 885 duplicate page content errors displaying on the report. These are mostly caused by an item listed in multiple 'categories' and each category is a new pages/URL. I guess my questions are: 1. Does Google see these as duplicate page content? Or does it understand the categories are there for navigation purposes. 2. How do I clear these off my Moz report so that the client doesn't panic that there are some major issues on the site Thanks for your advice.

All of my pages contain properly formatted title tags which display in the browser. However, when I view the 'Top Pages' area of the Open Site Explorer, 99% of those pages show [No Title] in the Page Title & URL column. Does anyone know what might be causing this?0
