Duplicate Page Content and Titles
-
A few weeks ago my error count went up for Duplicate Page Content and Titles. 4 errors in all. A week later the errors were gone...
But now they are back. I made changes to the Webconfig over a month ago but nothing since.
SEOmoz is telling me the duplicate content is this
http://www.antiquebanknotes.com/ and http://www.antiquebanknotes.com
Thanks for any advise!
This is the relevant web.config.
<rewrite><rules><rule name="CanonicalHostNameRule1"><match url="(.*)"><conditions><add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^www.antiquebanknotes.com$" negate="true"></add></conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="<a href=" http:="" www.antiquebanknotes.com="" {r:1"="">http://www.antiquebanknotes.com/{R:1}" />
</action></match></rule>
<rule name="Default Page" enabled="true" stopprocessing="true"><match url="^default.aspx$"><conditions logicalgrouping="MatchAll"><add input="{REQUEST_METHOD}" pattern="GET"></add></conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="/"></action></match></rule></rules></rewrite> -
Thanks Megan,
I figured it was something like that since the errors went away without any further action. Thanks for putting the issue to rest for me.

Hi Greg,
This is Megan from the SEOmoz help team. Sorry for the delayed response! We actually recently released a new crawler that was causing this duplicate content bug. We were switching crawls between our new crawler and old crawler (which didn't have the duplicate content bug), which is why this error disappeared for a bit, but then returned. The good news is that this bug has been fixed, so you shouldn't have this error show up on your future crawls!
Please let us know if you have any other questions or issues with our software by sending a message to help@seomoz.org.
Cheers,
Megan

I will PM someone who is all over asp.net and have him look at question. He will know answer.

Hi Robert,
I added that rule but oddly it doesn't seem to work for me... The expression looks good so I don't know what to think... maybe one of my other rules is getting in the way.
Thanks for the link!

Greg,
Given that I almost sent you how to in Apache....I hope this helps it is from:http://www.tugberkugurlu.com/archive/remove-trailing-slash-from-the-urls-of-your-asp-net-web-site-with-iis-7-url-rewrite-moduleFull disclosure is I am not an asp.net guy but I saw you are using it with IIS7 and this is all about it. Hope it helps. The code is about 2/3rds down.
Hope it helps.

Indexing pages content that is not needed
Hi All, I have a site that has articles and a side block that shows interesting articles in a column block. While we google for a keyword i can see the page but the meta description is picked from the side block "interesting articles" and not the actual article in the page. How can i deny indexing that block alone Thanks

Duplicate content in product listing
We have "duplicate content" warning in our moz report which mostly revolve around our product listing (eCommerce site) where various filters return 0 results (and hence show the same content on the page). Do you think those need to be addressed, and if so how would you prevent product listing filters that appearing as duplicate content pages? should we use rel=canonical or actually change the content on the page?

Home Page .index.htm and .com Duplicate Page Content/Title
I have been whittling away at the duplicate content on my clients' sites, thanks to SEOmoz's pro report, and have been getting push back from the account manager at register.com (the site was built here and the owner doesn't want to move it). He says these are the exact same page and he can't access one to redirect to the other. Any suggestions? The SEOmoz report says there is duplicate content on both these urls: Durango Mountain Biking | Durango Mountain Resort - Cascade Village http://www.cascadevillagehotel.com/index.htm Durango Mountain Biking | Durango Mountain Resort - Cascade Village http://www.cascadevillagehotel.com/ Your help is greatly appreciated!

High number of Duplicate Page titles and Content related to index.php
It appears that every page on our site (www.bridgewinners.com) also creates a version of itself with a suffix. This results in Seomoz indicating that there are thousands of duplicate titles and content. 1. Does this matter? If so, how much? 2. How do I eliminate this (we are using joomla)? Thanks.
