RSS feed showing up as duplicate content
-
Hi,
I've just run an SEOMOZ Pro scan for the first time and it is picking up duplicate content errors from the RSS feed. For some reason it seems to be picking up two feeds, for example:
http://blog.clove.co.uk/2009/05/13/htc-touch-diamond2-review/feed/
http://blog.clove.co.uk/2009/05/19/htc-touch-diamond2-review-2/feed/
Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can resolve this?
Thanks

Thanks for the feedback guys, will give your suggestions a try.

Firstly, good on you for the great content - I enjoyed reading the reviews! Regarding your question, the 2 feeds are almost exactly duplicate other than the URLs.
Dupe content from the feeds that might be causing the issue:
- <title></span><span class="text">Comments on: HTC Touch Diamond2 Review</span><span></title>
- The smartphone specialists who care!
As I assume the this: http://blog.clove.co.uk/2009/05/19/htc-touch-diamond2-review-2 is the second review. Try modifying the title and meta description on your back end and it should auto update the feed on the review-2 page.
Assuming you're on Wordpress If not, just modify the contents of the review-2 feed and run another scan,

Usually 2 feeds happen if you're calling the feed to be created twice in the page's code. I took a quick look at your page's code, and I didn't see anything odd. Are you having the same problem with other pages?
This could be a plug-in issue with the latest Wordpress upgrades. Have you upgraded everything?
A quick fix would be to block robots.txt from crawling one of the feeds.

Moz shows duplicate content, but URL's are tagged with campaign tags
Crawl diagnostics shows a lot of pages with duplicate content, but when I check the details, I see that it lists the same page but the url contains a campaign tag, so it's not really another page that is serving identical content... Is there a way to remove these pages out of the Crawl Diagnostics?

Pages are shown as duplicate content when they have no content the same apart from the template. But it only happens with a few products and we have well over 100 products for sale. An example would be these which are seen as duplicate content.

Joomla Opencart Duplicate Link Issue
With a few recent catalog changes my client is having tons of duplicate content issues. The most peculiar is one that I cannot see visibly on the site pages. This page: http://www.CLIENTDOMAIN.com/catalog/lights.html shows to have several duplicate content issues with URLs such as: http://www.CLIENTDOMAIN.com/catalog/lights/Lamp-DRW.htmlhttp:/www.CLIENTDOMAIN.com - where the domain is basically added to the end of the first URL. Has anyone seen this? Any fixes, plugins or thoughts? Thanks,

Duplicate Titles Shown in Moz Analytics
Hello, My Moz analytics show over 50 duplicate titles. This because my website title is shown on each page (eg About us | Social Engagement, Contact us | Social Engagement, etc.) Is this really an error to be fixed, that otherwise will impact rankings? Or can I leave it as it is? I don't mind having my website title on each page, but if its worth removing it due to duplicate issues impacting ranking, I will remove 🙂 In this case, does someone have any suggestion on how to do this? Which files should I modify? (Im using Wordpress CMS, and I dont see each page code) Thanks in advance.

Internal and external links showing in Webmaster Tools but not in MOZ
Hi there I set up a campaign 2 weeks ago but I am registering zero internal or external links for my website. It's a small site with only about 300 external links but they show in Webmaster tools but not in my link report or Open Site Explorer. Do I need to wait until the next OSE crawl or is something wrong with my set up? Thanks in advance! Laurie

Does the Crawl Diagnosis - Duplicate Page Content account for a canonical meta tags?
I see the same page listed 3 time (with different query params). But on each I have a meta tag pointing to the correct canonical url. By still seeing all three listed, does that mean there is an error with my meta tag?
