Moz says I am missing titles and meta tags and have duplicate content
-
I just redesigned my website and suddenly traffic has dropped.
Moz says I am missing titles, meta tag descriptions and have a lot of duplicate content.
My site is http://skigenie.com and is full of unique and hand written content,.
Are there any wordpress plugins that will add titles etc to my pages (some of the added ones are custom)?
Any help would be much appreciated!

You can setup Yoast Wordpress SEO or All In One SEO Pack and set them to block duplicate content (tags, categories, date archives, etc.) when you configure settings.
-
Also, if your new website means that the URLs of your pages have changed you'll want to think about implementing some 301 redirects to your new pages. Check your inbound links and make sure that the target pages are redirected to the most relevant new page.

YOAST SEO plugin is one of the best SEO plugins, you can manage OG meta and force rewrite rules on custom pages
-
Do you know how I can fix it? Is there a plugin or another method?
-
Yes, that's correct. You have OG:title and OG:description (opengraph data) but you don't have a <title>tag or meta description on your pages.</p> <p>The duplicate content is your /tag/ URLs:</p> <p><a href="http://skigenie.com/tag/skis/">http://skigenie.com/tag/skis/</a> has the same info as http://skigenie.com/tag/find-skis/</p> <p> </p></title>

Unsolved Product search menu Canonical tag and missing description errors
We have recently migrated to an entirely new website, Moz is now picking up many meta data issues, the bulk of these are from descriptions and missing canonical tags from product search pages (i.e, customer searches for a product and the search results page is the one being picked up, is this is a big issue for the site's overall SEO rating and if so what can be done to resolve this?

Moz metrics
This discussion is strictly theoretical... I won't hold anyone to their answer. If I have 2 websites that are identical in every way and let's say the domain authority for both is 40, and I 301 redirect one site to the other, what would the DA become? Same question for single pages, both with a PA of 40. If I 301 redirect one page to the other, what does the PA become for the remaining page?

H1 tag question
I am currently going through the process of optimizing my pages for my given keywords. Most of my pages are receiving an A grading from the Moz page checker, with keywords being found in all elements expect for the H1 tag. For certain pages I have not used a H1 tag, the pages title has been incorporated into the image on the top of the page. This is difficult to explain without showing you so i will use one of my pages to explain, the page is http://www.ecobode.co.uk/garden-uses-3/garden-gym/. The keyword for this page is garden gym, it is found multiple times in the content, URL and other on page elements expect for the H1 tag as I don't have one. The title resides in the image, I know how important H1 tags are but I don't know how I can incorporate into this page. Does anyone have any ideas how I can incorporate the H1 tag into this page? Kind Regards, Tom

Duplicate Page Title - although there are differences
Hello, I get duplicate page titles errors on pages in which there are little differences. For example: C++ Online Test for Seniors C# Online Test for Seniors I assume that from some reason the ++ and the # are removed when SEOMoz crawler checks for duplicate page titles. As you may know C# and C++ means two different programming languages. Should I do something about it or is it a bug in the crawler?

AM I the only one getting misleading titles in OSE?
I am trying to locate directories in my competitor's links using OSE. Here is the workflow I am using: Filter all results to external sites only, group by site, linking to any page on the domain. Export results to csv. My competitor is in the web design industry. So I try to filter the titles of the pages linking to the competitor to look for titles containing directory. But when I click on the link for "Windsor Internet Web Design Hosting Ontario Canada Directory" I get a page with the title "Kitchen & Bathroom Showroom | London Ontario | Bathroom Vanity Showroom" Are the results really this misleading?? or am I doing something wrong here? Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated.

Finding the source of duplicate content URL's
We have a website that displays a number of products. The product has variations (sizes) and unfortunately every size has its own URL (for now anyway). Needless to say, this causes duplicate content issues. (And of course, we are looking to change the URL's for our site as soon as possible) However, even though these duplicate URL's exist, you should not be able to land on them by navigating through the site. In theory, the site should always display the link to the smallest size. It seems that there is a flaw in our system somewhere, as these links are now found in our campaign here on SEOmoz. My question: is there any way to find the crawl path that lead to the URL's that shouldn't have been found, so we can locate the problem?

How do I fix a duplicate content error with a top level domain?
Hi, I'm getting a duplicate content error from the SEOmoz crawler due to an issue with trailing slashes. It's showing www.milengo.com and www.milengo.com/ as having duplicate page titles. However I'm pretty sure this has been fixed in the .htaccess file since if you type in the domain with a trailing slash it automatically redirects to the domain without a trailing slash, so this shouldn't be an issue. I'm stuck here. Any ideas? Thanks. Rob

SEO MOZ Timezone
I have looked & looked but I can not figure out how to set MY timezone on SEOMOZ? The dates are all wrong in my reports ... **Organic traffic data ** Last Data Update: 04/16/2012 Crawl Diagnostics Last Crawl Completed: Apr. 20th, 2012 Next Crawl Starts: Apr. 25th, 2012 Keyword Rankings "Your keywords are updated weekly on Saturday. The last update was April 19th, 2012." Yet today is Friday the 20th 2012??? It seems like each segment of the information is updated on a differing date?
