What does this error mean when starting a new campaign
-
hi just about to start a new campaign to i can monitor my website and i get this message up but not sure what this means.
Roger has detected a problem:
We have detected that the domain www.headlineplus.com and the domain headlineplus.com both respond to web requests and do not redirect. Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here.
can anyone please let me know why this message comes up please
-
tried the redirect but did not like it and it looks like my hosting company have put the main domain without the www. so will read how to sort this out
-
It really depends on what your hosting company has done. Basically, you need to choose if you want a www in front of your URL or not, then make sure you set up your redirects properly. Your hosting company can help with this, or you can search for information on how to do this on apache, or there may be a Joomla plugin to help too.

my hosting company done something the other day do you think this is what the problem is
-
(http://)headlineplus.com and ww.headlineplus.com can be seen as seperate websites, you need to make sure that they are both (in your domain configuration) are pointing to the same place and maybe set-up a 301 redirect for http://headlineplus.com to www.headlineplus.com

Crawl Diagnostics - 350 Critical errors? But I used rel-canonical links
Hello Mozzers, We launched a new website on Monday and had our first MOZ crawl on 01/07/15 which came back with 350+ critical errors. The majority of these were for duplicate content. We had a situation like this for each gym class: GLOBAL YOGA CLASS (canonical link / master record) YOGA CLASS BROMLEY YOGA CLASS OXFORD YOGA CLASS GLASGOW etc All of these local Yoga pages had the canonical link deployed. So why is this regarded as an error by MOZ? Should I have added robots NO INDEX instead? Would think help? Very scared our rankings are gonna get effected 😞 Ben

Duplicate Errors found in my search
I have run my 1st site check with SEOMOZ and have 4000+ errors. The "duplicate Page Content" culprit appears to be a extended url that keeps showing as duplicating. This is only a customer log-in and can be redirected back to the main cust log in page, but is there a short way of doing it (rather than 4000x 301's)? The format of the url is: http://www.????.com.au/default/customer/account/login/referer/aSR0cDovL3d3dy1234YWNiYW Thanks
