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?

Moz Bar not providing any data. Tried logging out/back in and un/re-installing, but no dice.
Used Mozbar for a long time, and normally works fine. Suddenly finding that it is not providing any data. All of the fields are there, but it does not provide me with PA/DA, etc, and all social metrics are at 0. This is across all sites, not just on in particular. Have tried logging out and in, deactivating and activating, and reinstalling. Nothing has worked.

We Launched a new site and Rogerbot is still reporting on links/errors from the old site, is there a way to clear those out?
We are mostly a Branding agency, and have not put a lot of effort into SEO for ourselves... SEO tends to take a backseat to design most of the time, making it a little difficult for me at times when it comes to SEO. We recently launched a new site, http://Roninadv.com/ and the developer and I have done quite a bit of work to make it work well for Google. I was really looking forward to a new crawl report from Roger, but alas, It's like Roger crawled the old site? The new site has been up since last Monday. Is there a way to clear out the old errors? Do I just need to give roger more time?

Rel Can notice issue on my SEOMoz reporting
Need some help understanding this report... I have 17 notices for Rel Can on my campaign. Then, it lists all the links. But what is this report actually telling me? Is it telling me that Rel Can's are listed on these pages? The are all blog posts...our blog was redirected when the site was recently rebuilt. I just need to understand what the report is really telling me to do/not do. Or is it ok to ignore this "notice"?
