Campaign Reports Question
-
Hello everyone. I'm new to SEOMOZ and sort of a beginner with this SEO stuff but this does seem like the place to be to learn things. I spent quite a bit of time reading the blogs and found them very helpful - including everyone's comments.
I'm not sure what to make of a couple of my campaign reports. I'm going through my campaign reports and have a few questions. I guess the easy way is to break this down.
Question 1:
Crawl Errors: I"m getting duplicate content/page errors for the following pages.
http://www.njsigncrafters.com and http://www.njsigncrafters.com/index.php
Am I losing a bit of google points because of this and do I fix it by using a redirect?
Question 2:
When I look at my on-page analysis I'm getting grades of A-F. I'm figuring maybe I should have some recommendations about what to do but SEOMOZ gives me a grade and then leaves it at that. Besides reviewing my on-page factors am I missing something simple that I"m supposed to click on to see recommendations?
I suppose once I get used to the way things work I'll get this SEOMOZ site figured out.

Hi Denis,
Welcome to SEOmoz! Glad to have you on board. There's is a lot to learn, and it's a very much go-at-your-own-pace kind of learning (with a lot of Google searches thrown in with a few years of trial and error) but that's why we're here.
1. Yes, you have a duplicate content issue with your homepage. Probably the easiest way to fix this is with a canonical tag (or secondly, a 301 redirect)
You can learn more about these here:

- http://www.seomoz.org/blog/duplicate-content-block-redirect-or-canonical
- http://www.seomoz.org/blog/duplicate-content-in-a-post-panda-world
2. On-page reports. Yep, your intuition is correct - you need to click through the blue link to see the report. After this, you'll see a rich report with all sorts of specifics.
Here's a tutorial and video on the on-page report. https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/20878127-on-page-analysis-for-campaigns
Hope this helps! Best of luck with your SEO!

Question #1: Yes. You have the same content on each page. Change up the content on the index page or edirect or block with a robot....
Question #2: The grades are there as empty buckets......you have to look at how many pages fall into each grade. Give the system a few days to come up with the resulkts.
You should also look at your sites link analysis against competitors. You can go into depth by clicking on them to show you the detail behind the totals.
The campaign stuff is good for the basics and would be perfect to give to clients.......but start to use some of the research tools that provide you more detailed information and allow you to go deeper. (It is one of the other folder options) There is a lot of value if you spend the time.
Hope this helps.....

Ranking report and language
Unfortunately I noticed a huge problem in rank tracker amd ranking report. My site is in italian and I configurate the ranking report using google italy. The problem is that the ranking is related to www.google.it but using a browser set with english language!! Infact for a specific keyword the ranking position is 8 (using english) and 12 (using italian). This is a huge problem for me and makes useless any report! F

Crawl reports urls with duplicate content but its not the case
Hi guys!
Moz Pro | | MakMour
Some hours ago I received my crawl report. I noticed several records with urls with duplicate content so I went to open those urls one by one.
Not one of those urls were really with duplicate content but I have a concern because website is about product showcase and many articles are just images with href behind them. Many of those articles are using the same images so maybe thats why the seomoz crawler duplicate content flag is raised. I wonder if Google has problem with that too. See for yourself how it looks like: http://by.vg/NJ97y
http://by.vg/BQypE Those two url's are flagged as duplicates...please mind the language(Greek) and try to focus on the urls and content. ps: my example is simplified just for the purpose of my question. <colgroup><col width="3436"></colgroup>
