Rel next/ prev
-
We set up rel=next and prev tags on paginated pages with the same title- these are still showing as having duplicate titles - why is this?
-
Anytime! And you should be ok with Google. Our product team is developing a feature to ignore certain parameters in crawl diagnostics so hopefully this will help for most e-commerce sites once it's available.

Thanks for your responses- yes it is implemented correctly.
Thanks David, was just looking to ensure it was the right thing to do. My understanding is that the rel next/ prev is the best practice for paginated content rather than the canonical which is for direct or near duplicates? It's always worth double checking. So fingers crossed it will not be a problem in terms of duplicate titles etc in Google with the next prev/next tag in place?
Look forward to chiming in on the form.

Hi Lee!
The only redirect our crawler will recognize is "rel=canonical," since it's considered best practice. Search engines are smarter than Roger, so it's likely that they recognize the tag even though our bot is missing it.
In the meantime you have a few different options. You could swap your "rel=prev" tags for "rel=canonical" tags, or just ignore the errors your seeing in your Crawl Diagnostics.
In the meantime, I'll be sure to note your feedback for our engineers and our product team. I can't guarantee that we'll change anything, but we'll definitely start keeping tabs on this as a feature request. You can also chime in about this on our feature request forum here: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-Moz-Feature-Requests

First off, I'm assuming you've create the tag correctly with a start and end page. Did you give the pages enough time to get re-crawled?

Does "Disallow: /xmlrpc.php" in robots.txt affect moz tools ability to fetch DA?
Just checked a website for Domain Authority using Moz' tool, however it returned 1 for DA, which should be unlikely. I have been trying to find the problem and found "Disallow: /xmlrpc.php" in robots.txt. Could this affect Moz' tools ability to get the required data?

On-Page Grader URL inaccessible when copy/pasted but not when edited
Hi!, I've looked through multiple topics on this but none quite seem to fit what's going on - hopefully someone can help! I get the error message 'Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible.' when I copy and paste a url from my site into the search e.g. http://www.orbussoftware.com/enterprise-architecture/ However if I edit this to https the search completes fine. Since we redesigned our site approx 6 months ago, we've found most of our rankings have completely dropped off, and now I'm getting this error I'm wondering if it has something to do with how our site is structured? If I'm getting this error with Moz does that mean Google could be having issues too? Or is it all just a strange quirk? Thanks!

Domain.com isn't recognized by on-page-grader, but domain.com/index.php is
I am running a website through On-page-grader, as www.domain.com and scores an "F" for a specific keyword. When it's ran as www.domain.com/index.php, it scores an "A" for that same keyword and has everything checked other than "keyword in the domain name". There are no other files such as index.htm, or index.html that would interfere and can't figure out why this page is not being recognized. I checked, the robots and .htaccess file, but do not see anything that would hinder. Could this be a server issue?

Duplicate page content/page titles on tages
Hello everyone. New to the community and loving it already. Question, I am receiving an error of 6 pages with duplicate content and page titles. A majority of these are tag pages. Should I be worried about these? IN the column listed duplicate urls it is listing 0 ( screen shot: http://screencast.com/t/azvuVk0ucWt) Are these tags a problem? Will SEO be hurt because of this? What are TAG pages? Actually pages, categories, should I eliminate these?
