Duplicate Page and Title Content
-
We applied the tag to our website but Moz still picked up an error in Duplicate Page Content and Duplicate Title for http://www.corpsyn.com/ and http://www.corpsyn.com/index.html after the crawl was completed yesterday.
From the forum last week, we tried using the rel=”canonical” tag to tell the Moz crawler that the two pages are the same on purpose but it didn't work.
Below is how the code looks on our site up until the rel=”canonical” tag is added:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><title>Group Employee Health Benefits | National Insurance Broker</title>
css/style.css" type="text/css" />
css/style_index.css" type="text/css" />
”http://www.corpsyn.com” />Is there something else we can try?
Thanks

thanks for confirming that
-
Thanks mate.

Hey Everyone,
Thank you for the great answers! I just wanted confirm we do take canonical tags into heavy consideration when validating duplicate pages.
Hope you guys have a great weekend!
-
I think they do.
Our scenario:
http://domain.com and http://domain.com/index both load with the same content, with the proper canonical tag, and we are not getting any duplicate content warning (or titles and desc's).
-
Best to ask a staff this , but I am pretty sure Moz does not take canonical into account while scanning for duplicate titles.
-
Agreed.
Issue: the quotation marks!
FIX: set them right: " . I think that what you used is called "Double prime".
Hope that helps!

Your rel canonical is put up wrongly
Its been set up as - http://www.corpsyn.com/”http://www.corpsyn.com”
which is incorrect
Visit this url:- view-source:http://www.corpsyn.com/
Click on stylesheet url - it will land you correctly. Click on canonical url - it will land you on wrong page

How do I fix the 500 error when trying to use the page optimization tool?
I keep getting an error when using the page optimization tool - Moz staff replied when I used the chatbot and said that they're receiving a 500 error from my server and to whitelist pagella however my server is not blocking anything. I don't know how to fix this issue any ideas? I've attached a picture of the error message I'm receiving for reference. zzwUlt0

Multiple campaigns for similar pages
Hello, Moz family! I am fairly new to the SEO game, so this question may be irrelevant. Here is a little context to begin; the business I am serving has an overview page (see below), which I have started a campaign for. On the overview page, there are 10 different links that can take the user to a specific page. It is hard to gather rankings for these keywords because there are so many different pages we link to. I guess what I am asking is, is the only way to gauge keywords across multiple pages is to start multiple campaigns? I hope this makes sense, but if I need to clarify more please let me know! Thanks in advance!

RSS title element too long
I'm getting an error of the title element being too long on a few pages. Most of them are super easy fixes however there is one that's not. On our rss feed I think the titles of each blog are getting concatenated together. Here is the example of the xml: <title>First Blog title</title> <title>Second Blog title</title> When I check using a spider simulator (http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/spider/index.php) it tells me that my title is the actual page title tag. Is this a MOZ error and will it show up on google properly? The second part I've noticed about the rss feed is that it's reporting too many links in it. Does that matter in this case? Thanks

Why Is My Title Element Too Long? (> 70 Characters)
I recently launched a new website and according to the Moz Crawl Diagnostics Summary, I have more than 8,000 pages that have Title Elements that are Too Long (>70 Characters). But, when I look at these Page Titles, most of them seem to be (<70 Characters). Examples (with pages linked to the actual website): Collection page // Brooklyn Nets Shirts - Nets T-Shirt, Tees, Tops | Sportiqe Apparel (Moz reports this page title is 92 characters, over by 22) Product page // EA SPORTS Boxing Shirt - Red | Sportiqe Apparel (Moz reports this page title is 73 characters, over by 3 Blog post // 50 Father's Day Gift Ideas For Dad | Sportiqe Apparel (Moz reports this page title is 79 characters, over by 9) Is there a way to verify that the Moz tool is correct, and I'm overlooking that these page titles are indeed >70 characters? Any insight on how to resolve this problem as well? Appreciate any advice or articles that discuss this issue.
