Seomoz & Duplicate Page Content Issue?
-
Hi,
What is the criteria on Seomoz Crawl Diagnostic Report? I got a long list of URLs indicating Content that is identical (or nearly identical) to content on other pages of your site forces your pages to unnecessarily compete with each other for rankings. But as I gone through none of the reported pages duplicate. What should I do?
Thanks in Advance

Title Pages are easy to fix, so i would suggest fixing those asap.
Think of it this way, imagine you had 20 friends in a room and they were all named BOB. If i had to walk in and ask for BOB, then who would i speak to and know which one i need..lol.. The same applies to the search engines and duplicate page titles...which page do they go to if they are all called the same;-)
As for the site structure, no, i wouldnt be too worried about this at all. It was just a suggestion in case you had duplicate page content issues. Which is no So dont worry about it. I would recommend that you Google panda update,and read up on these issues like duplicate content etc.

Hi Stefano,
Thanks so much for your informative answer. Yehh, there are duplicate title issues too and I am working on it. But is that enough? As you said the titles of referrer pages are similar and footer links and sidebar links are similar in these pages.
thanks

Hi Vipin
This is a great question to ask. basically, the crawlers pick up content / pages that may appear to be duplicate content. These are simulated according to how the search engines would read your website.
You need to understand that there is a difference between page content and page titles.
Page Titles refer to pages that are named the same - big no no and you need to correct this. Crawlers froms eacrh engines wont know which page is the real page to access.
Page Content refers to the actual content on the page. This can be a little more complex because sometimes the page doesnt seem to contain duplicate content but unfortuantely sute structure could contribute to this. Look at what infor you have in the footer, sidebars that might contribute to the duplicate content.
How many pages is this refering to and whats the difference between the pages?
Are you gettinga duplicate content issue or duplicate title issue?

Member Only Content
I run a wordpress based website that contains a large amount of free content, but also a large amount of content that is only accessed via a paid membership. After running a SEOmoz campaign for the site, it showed 3600 errors for duplicate page titles and 1900 errors for duplicate page content. After looking into the errors it became clear that the majority of them were due to the fact that if you clicked on a link to paid content, it would take you to the paid membership sign in page. So how to I go about fixing these errors? I don't want this to hurt my rankings. Or fix it if it already has.

What is the difference between the Rank Tracker and the On-page Optimization page?
Both of them track keywords. In the Rank Tracker, you add each keyword manually and you associate it with a URL. For On-page Optimization page, the URLs are generated automatically based on searches and traffic?
