SEOMoz Question
-
Hi,
I have taken over SEO on a real estate site with an internal blog. Unfortunately there are loads of duplicated pages and titles in the blog. It was suggested that all should be rel=canonical so not to show up. In my last crawl here though they still do. So question is if SEOMoz crawls and sees them is Google also seeing them?
Also would it be best to move the blog off site so this does not cause anymore damage and just link to it from the main site?
Thanks for your comments

that could help but would just shift the issue elsewhere - but it's worth a try.
if you'd like a chat in a bit more of a private setting head to my profile and send me a message in private, or go through to the company site and get in touch that way.

HI Andy, Thanks for that. What if I just put the blog on it's own domain and just a link to it from the main site. I am not looking for traffic so to speak on the blog. There is a lot more to it to be honest just trying to isolate it from the individual site itself.
Thanks

long story short, rel canonical isn't the tool for the job - manual work (to an extent) is.
titles and content want to be unique even if you have canonicals. if you miss use canonicals you can have other issue within your site and serps so be careful. my advice is point blank remove the dupe content whether by manually changing content and titles.

Question about Crawl Diagnostics - 4xx (Client Error) report
Hi here, I was wondering if there is a way to find out the originating page where a broken link is found from the 4xx (Client Error) report. I can't find a way to know that, and without that information is very difficult for me to fix any possible 404 related issues on my website. Any thoughts are very welcome! Thank you in advance.

SEOMoz Campaigns: Bulk management / deletion of keywords?
For the SEOMoz campaign tool, how do you manage / delete / export keywords in bulk? We have several hundred keywords and need to delete some efficiently from a campaign. I see how you can delete words from one page of the list, but is there a way to combine the keywords with ranking or traffic data to stack-rank, and than delete the "least valuable"? Tough to manage in bulk
