How to resolve when it is saying duplicate content but the content is not duplicate?

Especially since it is our landing page for our blog with multiple excerpt text i.e. growpath.com/resources/

You need to understand that today there are roughly millions of articles, blogs, and web copies already published for content marketing. Many online writers have already written about information that you are thinking about writing.
Checkout the plagiarism level via a tool. It is best to use a premium level tool and see if the content is around 80% to 85% unique and has a rate of 15% plagiarism. Lower than 70% uniqueness can be troubling. So, try and rephrase some words but to not make things too much complicated.
In best case scenario, try to choose topics that are unique, it all depends on your creativity level. Good luck!

I have encountered this in the past. If you KNOW it is not duplicate, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Having said that, in my cases, I just re-wrote the content (very minor changes) and the duplicate content warning went away - all good. Just my 2 cents. Best of luck

Duplicate page content on Moz PRO - http://www and http:// problem
Hi Moz community, My Moz Pro writes 555 duplicate content errors, when i click on the page address to check witch page duplicate, it gives me the same page address without WWW. http://www.domain.com/page Duplicated: http://domain.com/page The first thing i checked is my .Htaccess file.. , I found out i have a www redirection that redirect everyone without the "www" to the full domain with the "www" - and it works perfectly on the browser. The code that redirect: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.

Duplicate content
My question is about duplicate content identified on my site by Moz The pages identified as duplicates come from different areas of the site, different categories etc.

I realise the pages dont have much difference between them but would these pages be considered close enough to be duplicates http://www.youlesmotorcycles.com/clothing-male/reflective-clothing-non-tri http://www.youlesmotorcycles.com/accessories/luggage-hard0 -
How do I pull a report to show duplicate page content including links to the pages that are duplicates?
I need to send a report to my developers including the url's which have duplicate page content. Unfortunately the Moz download report only includes the pages that are affected by duplicate page content.

Duplicate Content Report: Duplicate URLs being crawled with "++" at the end
Hi, In our Moz report over the past few weeks I've noticed some duplicate URLs appearing like the following: Original (valid) URL: http://www.paperstone.co.uk/cat_553-616_Office-Pins-Clips-and-Bands.aspx?filter_colour=Green Duplicate URL: http://www.paperstone.co.uk/cat_553-616_Office-Pins-Clips-and-Bands.aspx?filter_colour=Green**++** These aren't appearing in Webmaster Tools, or in a Screaming Frog crawl of our site so I'm wondering if this is a bug with the Moz crawler? I realise that it could be resolved using a canonical reference, or performing a 301 from the duplicate to the canonical URL but I'd like to find out what's causing it and whether anyone else was experiencing the same problem. Thanks, George

Why Moz Analytics says that my site had a 13% traffic increase and Moz Pro says that the same site had 3% decrease on traffic?
Every Tuesday The first thing I do in the morning is check my updates on my Moz Campaigns... Today the numbers just don't make sense... How come Moz Analytics and Moz Pro are showing different numbers? Does any one have the same problem? Which one should i trust?

Duplicate Page Title
I am seeing pages show up in my campaign Errors report for Duplicate Page Title. One for example states that this page: https://www.inprocorp.com/AboutInPro/AboutUs/HistoryTimeline/tabid/316/Default.aspx has a duplicate page title as this page: https://www.inprocorp.com/AboutInPro/HistoryTimeline/tabid/316/Default.aspx I have a redirect setup so that if you access page #2, you are redirected to page #1. So how do I get errors like this to drop off my report? Have I not fixed the problem sufficiently for the crawler? Thanks, John

Why is Moz report showing duplicate content?
Dear Moz Community Our weekly Moz crawl diagnostic repoart is showing a significant increase in "Duplicate Page Content" errors for article pages that have unique content, unique file names, unique META title/descriptions, and unique H1 tags. Where could the duplication be coming from? Thanks for your help.

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">
