Problem with duplicate titles
-
Hi there, after a site crawl Moz has reported that I have duplicated titles, however I don't understand why or how to fix it. Basically the urls are for the same collection or product and are identical except one has a -1 on the end of it or sometimes a %20. I cannot delete the url as they don't exist in my shopify store so cannot find them. The relevant page has the correct url when I check in shopify.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hey!
Thanks for reaching out!
Pages are considered to have duplicate titles only if their titles are exact matches. There is no notion of overlapping or partial matches for this purpose. Like duplicate content, canonical versions should be considered, but not pages that refer to the canonical version. For more on canonicalization, check out this resource: https://moz.com/learn/seo/canonicalization
You can verify the page title by viewing the source code of the page itself. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything that needs clarifying!
I am not so familiar with Shopify, or the way the URL's are structured within Shopify. Perhaps someone else on the forum has had more experience with this.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

Duplicate titles issue
Hi, For the second week in a row MOZ is finding duplicate titles crawling my website.
Getting Started | | AlessiaCamera
But as you see in the attached screenshot it doesn't seem it's a clear duplicate title thing, as it's mainly due to the different pages having the same title.
What should I do? Is it really affecting my SERP positioning? ZANRT0 -
Homepage duplicated content - 301 redirection - "Rel="canonical" - Headache
Hello Moz community, I already have 301 redirection in my .htaccess , just like this: RewriteEngine On
Getting Started | | mdmoz
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http://www.mysite.com/$1" [R=301,L] Mozpro shows that I have duplicated content for www.mysite.com & www.mysite.com\index.html I am a little lost, there is " 301 Redirect" and "Rel="canonical", moz replied me back that I need to use "Rel="canonical", but can one use both together? i also read on forums, if I 301 redirect index to /, there will be infinite loop and such. Another story, I am also getting IP Canonicalization error when I checked my SEO performance: Your site's IP ...* does not redirect to your site's domain name. This could cause duplicate content problems if a search engine indexes your site under both its IP and domain name.** Which adds to my headache. What is this one all about? There is no single thread or page here, to clear all this confusion and give a straight solution, but rather each page or thread says do a different thing. I am lost, so somebody help!0 -
More problems with Moz - Monthly Reporting
Hello All, I may be missing something, but I only want to create monthly reports for my clients from this system. A week in SEO is a terrifying rollercoaster, but any I digress. Currently, i'm adding clients to the system, setting up Analytics, Twitter, Google+, keywords etc. I then go to the custom reports menu as I want to build my report now and schedule it to run at the end of the month, however, because a month has not yet passed, I can only create weekly report segments. This means that I have to add a client to your system and then come back a month later to build a report, this is silly, am I using this wrong or is this not right? I don't care if any data is available, I just want to create the report so I don't have to do it later ideally.

Duplicate Pages...where are both URLs?
Just ran my Site Crawl Report...which was awesome! But It says there are over 50 Duplicate Content Pages, and the list of links only shows the PAGE that is supposedly "duplicate content"...but where is the other URL that these pages are duplicates of? Would be nice to be able to double-check if it is in fact duplicate and decide which to edit. Pls help! Thanks Moz!

Duplicate page titles reported on same links
Moz is reporting duplicate titles on my clients website, citing different versions of the same link, one without dubs as domain.com/link and the other with dubs as www.domain.com/link. for example ... duplicate title = Warranty Requests For Custom New Home Construction in Jacksonville

http://myhjhome.com/new-home-construction-warranty-request.html
http://www.myhjhome.com/new-home-construction-warranty-request.htmlthe links are the same, one is just with www and the other is without. in another example ... Moz reports 5 duplicate titles on the Home page, citing 5 different URLs that all load the same home page ...
duplicate title = Jacksonville Custom Home Builder, Quality Construction On Your Lot
http://myhjhome.com
http://myhjhome.com/
http://myhjhome.com/index.php
http://www.myhjhome.com/
http://www.myhjhome.com/index.php is this just something that's always going to be reported as a duplicate title or is there a way for me to change the website so Moz doesnt report a duplicate title on the same page (since there really isnt a duplicate title in these examples)?0 -
