Duplicate Page Content but where?
-
Hi All
Moz is telling me I have duplicate page content and sure enough the PA MR mT are all 0 but it doesnt give me a link to this content!
This is the page:
http://www.orsgroup.com/index.php?page=Scanning-services
But I cant find where the duplicate content is other than on our own youtube page which I will get removed here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pnjh9jkAWuA
Can anyone help please?

Sorted(I think) used screaming frog and identified a few caps issues, all looks ok now
Thanks for all the help

HI,
Put your site though screaming frog and it shows you are linking to that page in a couple of places with a lower case s 'scanning-services', I would think that is the issue that the crawl is flagging. Screaming frog mentions 3 instances of the lower case link so perhaps the sitemap was one and a couple of others hidden away in the page texts somewhere? Find and correct those capitalization mismatches and you should be good!

The page is listed in my sitemap.xml twice, I have no idea why! But I think that is where its getting it from.....
Probably just manually edit the sitemap and remove the 2nd entry?

Hi,
I am pretty sure moz only flags duplicate content on your own site and you should be able to find out what page it is referring to by downloading the csv of your crawl data, filter for duplicate content = true in the relevant column and then look on the far right hand side, the 'duplicate page content 2' column should give you the other page that is flagging this.

That is a good idea for improvement. Go here and suggest it!

Thanks Andy - Its hard to tell if Moz is saying "theres a page on your domain" that is a problem or just generally there is a page out there on the web that is a problem. Seems daft if they know about it, why not tell me on the report?
Actually Moz - take note - good improvement could be made here !

Copyscape throws the same up as you have there - your YouTube page.
Perhaps consider a revision of this on YouTube?

Email and landing page duplicate content issue?
Hi Mozers, my question is, if there is a web based email that goes to subscribers, then if they click on a link it lands on a Wordpress page with very similar content, will Google penalize us for duplicate content? If so is the best workaround to make the email no index no follow? Thanks!

Car Dealership website - Duplicate Page Content Issues
Hi, I am currently working on a large car dealership website. I have just had a Moz crawl through and its flagging a lot of duplicate page content issues, these are mostly for used car pages. How can I get round this as the site stocks many of the same car, model, colour, age, millage etc. Only unique thing about them is the reg plate. How do I get past this duplicate issue if all the info is relatively the same? Anyone experienced this issue when working on a car dealership website? Thank you.

URL Mixed Cases and Duplicate Content
Hi There, I have a question for you. I am working on a website where by typing any letter of the URL in lower or upper case, it will give a 200 code. Examples www.examples.com/page1/product www.examples.com/paGe1/Product www.examples.com/PagE1/prOdUcT www.examples.com/pAge1/proODUCt and so on… Although I cannot find evidence of backlinks pointing to my page with mixed cases, shall I redirect or rel=canonical all the possible combination of the cases to a lower version of them in order to prevent duplicate content? And if so, do you have any advice on how to complete such a massive job? Thanks a lot

Duplicate content or Duplicate page issue?
Hey Moz Community! I have a strange case in front of me. I have published a press release on my client's website and it ranked right away in Google. A week after the page completely dropped and it completely disappeared. The page is being indexed in Google, but when I search "title of the PR", the only results I get for that search query are the media and news outlets that have reported the news. No presence of my client's page. I also have to mention that I found two URLs of the same page: one with lower case letters and one with capital letters. Is this a duplicate page or a duplicate content issue coming from the news websites? How can I solve it? Thanks!

Duplicate page titles
Hi, I have a Joomla 2.5 site and I use categoryblogs. So I have a page with "reviews". All the reviews are shown on this page and there are about 15 pages of it. In my SEOMoz crawl result I get 71 errors ! about "duplicate titles". How can I diminish this? I don't know how to show all the reviews in a proper way other than what I have accomplished with categoryblog. Patrick

Strange duplicate content issue
Hi there, SEOmoz crawler has identified a set of duplicate content that we are struggling to resolve. For example, the crawler picked up that this page www. creative - choices.co.uk/industry-insight/article/Advice-for-a-freelance-career is a duplicate of this page www. creative - choices.co.uk/develop-your-career/article/Advice-for-a-freelance-career. The latter page's content is the original and can be found in the CMS admin area whilst the former page is the duplicate and has no entry in the CMS. So we don't know where to begin if the "duplicate" page doesn't exist in the CMS. The crawler states that this page www. creative-choices.co.uk/industry-insight/inside/creative-writing is the referrer page. Looking at it, only the original page's link is showing on the referrer page, so how did the crawler get to the duplicate page?
