Why is SEOMOZ Crawl Diagnostics not in sync with Webmaster Tools
-
Currently, my Website, according to the Crawl Diagnostics Summary, has 401 'Duplicate Page Title Errors'.
But in Google Webmaster Tools, under Óptimization on the Left hand Side Toolbar, if you look up HTML Improvements, there are only 4 'Duplicate Title Tags'.
I have two questions re this:
A) Do 'Duplicate Page Title Errors' and 'Duplicate Title Tags' have the same meaning' ? , and
B) why are there 401 errors located by the former, and just 4 by the latter?

Hi Anthony,
Thanks for the question. I took a look at your campaign and those errors specifically and they are indeed duplicates of each other. I won't go into more details as this is a public question. If you want a few examples I'd be happy to start a support ticket for you.
Essentially it appears you have a lot of pages that all have the same title and are all canonicalized to themselves so as far as our bot is concerned they are all independent pages.
Why GWT would report differently than your sites actual information, I could not tell you. This issue is easily verifiable by visiting the pages reported as having the duplicates.
If you'd like to discuss this in greater detail feel free to shoot us an email. help[at]seomoz.org
Cheers,
Joel. -
It seem as if Rogerbot doesn't read and comply with robots.txt - and sometimes ignore "nofollow noindex". For about a month i have had issues with an extreme high amount of errors and warnings, that i already dealt with.
Im still waiting for Seomoz to fix it. I think they are working on it. But i dont know.

Duplicate meta and title in Google Webmaster Tools not updated?
Our canonical tags were removed by mistake for some time and our duplicate meta and title warnings in Google webmaster tools html improvements went up. We fixed the issue a week ago. I made sure the sitemap is picking up the canonical URL. Still the number went up after we fixed it (from around 5000 to around 7000 now) but when I click on details, it shows around 2000 in detail page. How long does it take for Google to update this? RB

Webmaster Tools - How your data is linked?
This may be an easy questions, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere and I never really looked into it before. In google webmaster tools, in the dashboard there is the section that says "How Your Data Is Linked". What does that refer to? Is that just using internal link anchor text, external link anchor text or a combination of both? I am pretty sure that it is a combination of both, but I just want to make sure before making some internal link changes so that the most common anchor text is no longer "Prices" and "Sign up". Thanks.

Google webmaster tools data update frequency?
What is the lag time for changes to a site to be reflected in Google webmaster tools Diagnostics section? They pointed out some duplicate titles which I fixed a week ago and yet they still show up as an HTML Suggestion. What has your experience been with making changes and then seeing them reflected in the HTML Suggestions section? My site is crawled every day, including the pages I have updated with new titles. Seems like it takes a while for the data to trickle into Webmaster tools, no?
