Duplicate Page Content but where?
-
Hi All
Moz is telling me I have duplicate page content and sure enough the PA MR mT are all 0 but it doesnt give me a link to this content!
This is the page:
http://www.orsgroup.com/index.php?page=Scanning-services
But I cant find where the duplicate content is other than on our own youtube page which I will get removed here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pnjh9jkAWuA
Can anyone help please?
Andy

Sorted(I think) used screaming frog and identified a few caps issues, all looks ok now
Thanks for all the help

HI,
Put your site though screaming frog and it shows you are linking to that page in a couple of places with a lower case s 'scanning-services', I would think that is the issue that the crawl is flagging. Screaming frog mentions 3 instances of the lower case link so perhaps the sitemap was one and a couple of others hidden away in the page texts somewhere? Find and correct those capitalization mismatches and you should be good!

The page is listed in my sitemap.xml twice, I have no idea why! But I think that is where its getting it from.....
Probably just manually edit the sitemap and remove the 2nd entry?

Hi,
I am pretty sure moz only flags duplicate content on your own site and you should be able to find out what page it is referring to by downloading the csv of your crawl data, filter for duplicate content = true in the relevant column and then look on the far right hand side, the 'duplicate page content 2' column should give you the other page that is flagging this.

That is a good idea for improvement. Go here and suggest it!

Thanks Andy - Its hard to tell if Moz is saying "theres a page on your domain" that is a problem or just generally there is a page out there on the web that is a problem. Seems daft if they know about it, why not tell me on the report?
Actually Moz - take note - good improvement could be made here !

Copyscape throws the same up as you have there - your YouTube page.
Perhaps consider a revision of this on YouTube?

A problem with duplicate content
I'm kind of new at this. My crawl anaylsis says that I have a problem with duplicate content. I set the site up so that web sections appear in a folder with an index page as a landing page for that section. The URL would look like: www.myweb.com/section/index.php The crawl analysis says that both that URL and its root: www.myweb.com/section/ have been indexed. So I appear to have a situation where the page has been indexed twice and is a duplicate of itself. What can I do to remedy this? And, what steps should i take to get the pages re-indexed so that this type of duplication is avoided? I hope this makes sense! Any help gratefully received. Iain

Techniques for diagnosing duplicate content
Buonjourno from Wetherby UK 🙂 Diagnosing duplicate content is a classic SEO skill but I'm curious to know what techniques other people use. Personally i use webmaster tools as illustrated here: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/webmaster-tools-duplicate.jpg but what other techniques are effective? Thanks,

Shopify duplicate content issue
We recently moved out site to shopify but now have a duplicate content issue as we have the same products in different collections. I have added canonical code to get rid of this but my webmaster tools still shows hundreds of duplicate pages. How can I tell if the code I added is working? How long will it take for google to recognise this and drop the duplicates from their index and is this likely to have a significant impact on SERPS? Our we page is www.devoted2vintage.co.uk. Thanks Paul

Duplicate Page Content Report
In Crawl Diagnostics Summary, I have 2000 duplicate page content. When I click the link, my Wordpress return "page not found" and I see it's not indexed by Google, and I could not find the issue in Google Webmaster. So where does this link come from?

Duplicate Page Content and Title for product pages. Is there a way to fix it?
We we're doing pretty good with our SEO, until we added product listing pages. The errors are mostly Duplicate Page Content/Title. e.g. Title: Masterpet | New Zealand Products MasterPet Product page1 MasterPet Product page2 Because the list of products are displayed on several pages, the crawler detects that these two URLs have the same title. From 0 Errors two weeks ago, to 14k+ errors. Is this something we could fix or bother fixing? Will our SERP ranking suffer because of this? Hoping someone could shed some light on this issue. Thanks.

WordPress Duplicate Content Issues
Everyone knows that WordPress has some duplicate content issues with tags, archive pages, category pages etc... My question is, how do you handle these issues? Is the smart strategy to use robots meta and add no follow/ no index category pages, archive pages tag pages etc? By doing this are you missing out on the additional internal links to your important pages from you category pages and tag pages? I hope this makes sense. Regards, Bill

Duplicate Content Question
Just signed up for pro and did my first diagnostic check - I came back with something like 300 duplicate content errors which suprised me because every page is unique. Turns out my pages are listed as www.sportstvjobs.com and just sportstvjobs.com does that really count as duplicate? and if so does anyone know what I should be doing differently? I thought it was just a canonical issue, but best I can tell I have the canonical in there but this still came up as a duplicate error....maybe I did canonical wrong, or its some other issue? Thanks Brian Clapp
