Why are my changes not being updated?
-
Last week, I was notified of having a lot of duplicated title pages. I've recently made the changes on my website with unique content.
I went back on MOZ this morning, and I'm still notified with the same problems. However, when I check the back end of that specific page, I see the changes already made. My question is, why are my changes not being updated in MOZ? Does it take awhile for MOZ to recognize this or am I missing a step?

Lastly, I've been using this pattern in regards to meta tag titles...
company name | description
Since all the descriptions are unique, would it still be considered a duplicate, given that I'm always including the company name?

Thanks for all your suggestions!

Pipe symbols don't hurt, the suck up one character spot as any other symbol. Just make sure your title tags are readable and enticing to the potential viewer. In other words.. make it seem to me like "this is the page I want to visit to learn more about sourcing coffee from Ethiopa." So maybe it should read more naturally like "Klatch Coffee Blog: Our Ethiopian Sourcing Trip"
That's what I would do. Not only does that save characters, but it reads more like a Title. Make sense?

Thanks, Jesse!
I'll checkout the weekly updates.
On a side note, I've been changing the meta tag titles to make it more organized. I was wondering if using the symbol "|" to divide the categories would be necessary to have, or would it hurt my overall results?
For example: Klatch Coffee | Coffee Blog | Ethiopia Sourcing Trip

Moz crawl your site weekly and any updates to duplicate content issues will get updated at that time.
The actual day it gets crawled varies depending on account I believe. You can check when it's due in the Crawl Diagnostics section of the campaign overview. At the bottom right you should see last crawl date and when next is due.
So any fixes you're making won't be reflected until the next Moz crawl.

Moz only updates campaigns once a week. This usually happens on a Monday, but chances are your campaign has not been updated yet. It should tell you on all of these pages when exactly the last update was done so you can confirm, but I'm sure this is your issue..
You'll get an email notification when your campaign has been updated and is ready for you to view as well.

How to use Google search console's 'Name change' tool?
Hi There, I'm having trouble performing a 'Name change' for a new website (rebrand and domain change) in Google Search console. Because the 301 redirects are in place (a requirement of the name change tool), Google can no longer verify the site, which means I can't complete the name change? To me, step two (301 redirect) conflicts with step there (site verification) - or is there a way to perform a 301 redirect and have the tool verify the old site? Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated. Cheers Ben

Mobile update: referrer in alternate URL
Hi there, A little while ago I posted a question about the upcoming mobile update. I am convinced about the fact that I must work on a solution before the update rolls out since a substancial part of our traffic has come from mobile devices. My current issue: our webshop host is not willing to cooperate with the best possible solution our mobile webshop partner proposes. This was the plan: This is the only possible solution now: The element 'request.url' will contain the full desktop URL which 301 redirects to the mobile URL. My question is: will google have problems with the 301 redirect which refers to the right mobile URL? Thanks in advance.

Is it detrimental to make a site wide change from .html to .shtml (all pages)?
We have an established website with decent domain authority. My developer inherited the site from another developer and is recommending that we convert all pages from the .html to the .shmtl From an SEO perspective, would this hurt us? Also, if this is not an issue, would updating the canonical help us, or does the canonical setting only deal with the "www." vs. "non-www"? Any insights will be appreciated greatly. Thanks!
