      I am not getting docked for these specific errors, but I am getting docked for 1 page has a WWW resolve issue and 1 wrong URL in the sitemap... (SEM Rush) but when I use moz, it's not showing any issues.

      So I have these things set up so far:

      • In .htaccess i have a command that removes the www.
      • 301 redirect from www version to the non www (homepage)
      • canonical on index.html pointing to non www version, I also set up a canonical tag for each page on the site
      • search console with non www, www, https www, https non www all set to non www preference.

      Also, when I fetch the www version in google search console it says it's being 301 redirected to non www version which is basically what I want.Is there anything that i'm missing? These errors on SEM Rush are giving me anxiety lol.

          Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here.

          Unfortunately, I don't know that I'm actually equipped to answer your question. I can speak to how Moz's tools determine duplicate content, but I don't know how you'd go about implementing solutions for errors you're seeing with SEMrush. Sorry about that!

          Hopefully one of our wonderful community members will have more insight than I do. Sorry I couldn't be more help!

          If you do have questions about Moz's tools, feel free to give us a shout at help@moz.com and we'll see what we can do. 🙂

            That is the jyst of it, I removed some of the 301's when I pasted it here, just because it was long.

                    Does "Disallow: /xmlrpc.php" in robots.txt affect moz tools ability to fetch DA?

                    Just checked a website for Domain Authority using Moz' tool, however it returned 1 for DA, which should be unlikely. I have been trying to find the problem and found "Disallow: /xmlrpc.php" in robots.txt. Could this affect Moz' tools ability to get the required data?

                    What is Considered Duplicate Content by Crawlers?

                    I am asking this because I have a couple of site audit tools that I use to crawl a site I work on every week and they are showing duplicate content issues (which I know there is a lot on this site) but some of what is flagged as duplicate content makes no sense. For example, the following URL's were grouped together as duplicate content: | https://www.firefold.com/contact-us | https://www.firefold.com/gabe | https://www.firefold.com/sale | | | How are these pages duplicate content? I am confused on what site audit tools are considering duplicate content. Just FYI, this is data from Moz crawl diagnostics but SEMrush site auditor is giving me the same type of data. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ryan

                    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?

                    Hi Guys We were recently having trouble with an excessive amount of duplicate page titles. So I asked our web company, at a reasonable expense, to fix the issue which they did. How ever I since note that the issue has returned (please see the attached graph. Could anyone explain to me why this might have happened? I t would be great to have some insight before i go back to them. Thanks again for your help Regards Pete Capture.jpg

                    How to find all 301 redirect for URL xyz.com/products (internal and external)?

                    This is what we are thinking: Get all URL of the xyz.com/products using XENU software. Search  those URL on google (site;xyz.com url ) to find out if they are crawled by google, do the same on bing (as currently google shows 4k URL and bing 11k ) Use opensiteexplorer (301 redirect ) and using (internal external) to get the desired result. Is this the right approach? If not, what is the best way to find the correct result? All suggestions are welcome.
