Hi I am new to SEO and at the moment looking at warnings from the crawl diagnostics report.

Hello there,
For duplicate content you refer to pages that are similar or identical to each other either for content and for coding.
The crawls stats of moz will tell you exactly which pages are duplicate, but do make sure you look at every detail.
For example our domains used to be http://example.com but it has been changed to www.example.com and redirects have been used to send traffic to the new domain.
The problem I had and for some pages I still have that some pages such as delivery information, customer help as well as some products pages haven't been redirect and it is a duplicate content.
You may want to have a look also in Google Webmaster Tools to get more information but moz does an excellent job in telling you where to look.
Hope it helps.

Duplicate content with tagging and categories
Hello, Moz is showing that a site has duplicate content - which appears to be because of tags and categories. It is a relatively new site, with only a few blog publications so far. This means that the same articles are displayed under a number of different tags and categories... Is this something I should worry about, or just wait until I have more content? The 'tag' and 'category' pages are not really pages I would expect or aim for anyone to find in google results anyway. Would be glad to here any advice / opinions on this Thanks!

Content in Tabs
I speed read an article recently and forgot to save it regarding Contents on a page in tabs. Is it correct that now Google is rendering the entire page it's better not to have content in tabs hidden by Javascript? As it stands at the moment, we've got the tabs set-up so that the main part of the page containing the keyword rich text is in a tab and not the first thing presented to the user

Empty public profiles are viewed as duplicate content. What to do?
Hi! I manage a social networking site. We have a lot of public user profiles that are viewed as duplicate content. This is because these users haven't filled out any public profile info and thus the profiles are "empty" (except for the name). Is this something I should worry about? If yes, what are my options to solve this? Thanks!

Duplicate content on homepage?
Hi I have just created a new campaign and it states that I have duplicate page content which would affect search rankings. Basically it is counting my site www.mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com/index.php as two seperate pages. How can I make it so that only www.mydomain.com is visible reducing the duplicate content issue? Many Thanks
