Duplicate Page Title
-
I am seeing pages show up in my campaign Errors report for Duplicate Page Title.
One for example states that this page:
https://www.inprocorp.com/AboutInPro/AboutUs/HistoryTimeline/tabid/316/Default.aspx
has a duplicate page title as this page:
https://www.inprocorp.com/AboutInPro/HistoryTimeline/tabid/316/Default.aspx
I have a redirect setup so that if you access page #2, you are redirected to page #1. So how do I get errors like this to drop off my report? Have I not fixed the problem sufficiently for the crawler?
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
Thanks for writing in and sorry for the confusion. We start each crawl completely from scratch, so we should be picking up the 301 redirect now if it has been there for a few weeks.
I downloaded the crawl diagnostics CSV and it is definitely not showing the redirect from one page to the other, but I can definitely see the redirect when I use the developer tools in my browser. I have never seen the crawler have issues detecting a redirect before, so this seems very strange to me. I am going to have to send this over to our engineers so we can investigate the issue further. I will create an email request in our system so I can get a few more details from you and send the campaign information over to them. You should be receiving an email from me shortly.
Thanks,
Chiaryn

Ok good to know. I think though still, this should be easily answered by the Moz product folks to explain how they look at things like this. It will be helpful in understanding the reports. I would assume that once you have the 301 in place, the Moz report should be fine, but maybe they are looking at something else and if they are - that data should be in the crawl report.
Glad you asked this question!

Yes, the crawl occurred before the 301, but the redirect has been in place now for several crawls and it is still showing up. Looking for links pointing to the old URL is a good suggestion. I'll see if I can find any of those. Thanks.
-
Did the crawl occur before you had the 301 setup? The other thing is that if you have any links on your site pointing to the old URL, update them to point to the new one.
I know that in GWT that it takes a while sometimes for things like this to clear up even after you have a 301, but not as familiar with how Roger treats it within Moz.

You can use the canonical tag as Guy mentioned, but the redirect you have in place should serve your purpose.

no need to redirect.
use the canonical tag to tell search engines which is the real page and which are its' duplicate.

Duplicate Content on a page that isn't duplicate?
So, I've been working on a site for a while, and they recently had one of their blog posts marked as "duplicate content" on Moz Pro: https://ashlandbreastpumps.com/blog/breast-milk-storage-guidelines/ Reviewing this post, there's nothing here to suggest that it should be considered duplicate. Link is marked canonical, there are no weird domain shenanigans to cause confusion, the content is distinct, and there's a lot of content there that prevents it from being overcome by coding white noise (So "more content" wouldn't be a solution here). So I'm trying to figure out why this particular post was flagged. Did Moz Pro make a mistake?

With the new update on the Page Optimization all my previous page scores and rankings are not longer showing up. Why?
Since the page optimization tab has updated all my previous page scores and rankings are no longer there. But if I am looking at the pages on the dashboard tab, they show up. When in the page optimization tab and try to click on a page to see the ranking, score, and tips to improve, it doesn't show any data. The page is almost blank. What happened and how do I fix it?

On page SEO Report Sucks
Hey. I'm trying to get a PDF of the on page report so I can see a list of each issue. This works well if you're logged in and just navigate through the different tabs, but not so well if you export. All I get is an overview of the number of the priority issues, but not the URLs and the specific problems. I know you can export a CVS, but that's not a very good branded way to export this. What I'd like to do is export a report that is fairly gainular so I can provide "before and after" reports for work we completed. As is stands now, I have an overview PDF which sucks and can't provide any more details or a CVS which has all the details in the world, but is so in depth it's hard to navigate, especially for clients who don't know what they're looking at, not to mention it's not branded!!! There should be way more options for reporting here. Please let me know if you can do something about this or if I'm just missing something. Thanks. Micha

Duplicate Page Content Report on Moz - Still ranking in Google Results?
Hi, I am experiencing 2 issues with the Duplicate Page Content in Moz. Every week it is notifying me of new duplicate content - so it seems to be missing duplicate content each week and the crawl is never above the 5000-6000 page mark, which means that it is under 10K which is the limit, so presumably everything is crawled in that one go so surely it should detect all of the dupe content on 1 crawl as opposed to having to do various crawls to detect it no? The dupe content report shows me pages that indeed have duplicate content but after checking, these are ranking on Google for their terms... ? Is the duplicate page content report incremental ? Will it add more duplicate content and increase the report every week or does it just show that week's results? If so, it's a bit like chasing my tail... Help!
