Hi Can anyone please help.
Using the weekly moz reports I realised that my website has gone from 2 duplicate pages to over 5000. As well as this pages with "too long URL" has jumped to over 5000 as well as missing meta tags.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

Download the CSV report and take a look at the URLs to see if they offer a clue. It could be that suddenly there's new pagination or session IDs that are being indexed.

The duplicate content issue you can easily solve by installing Yoast SEO plugin and noindexing the tag pages (you can also noindex categories, archives etc if you need).
Here is a great guide to stetting up the plugin properly and eliminating those page duplication errors http://moz.com/blog/setup-wordpress-for-seo-success
Hope this helps!

Thans again

What CMS are you using? Could be a problem with a plugin or code.

Problem with duplicate titles
Hi there, after a site crawl Moz has reported that I have duplicated titles, however I don't understand why or how to fix it. Basically the urls are for the same collection or product and are identical except one has a -1 on the end of it or sometimes a %20. I cannot delete the url as they don't exist in my shopify store so cannot find them. The relevant page has the correct url when I check in shopify. Anyone have any ideas?

Setting up a new campaign stalling on last page
I went through all the steps to set up a new campaign, and am on the last page, where I list competitors. When I click finish, however, the site spins for a few seconds, then does not proceed. I even checked the URLs. Is there a problem with the site right now? I am assuming the social links are optional because they are greyed out, and I am not getting any error messages after I click finish, just nothing. Help!
