Duplicate page content reports duplicates, but pages don't show duplication
-
My duplicate page reports shows 376 pages with duplicate content. After reviewing the pages the report claims have duplicate content, i can't find duplications. could this be an error, or is there some source code that doesn't display that could be causing this issue?
-
After researching a little more. I have found that there is duplicate content. there is some informational content that is controlled by a third party site. It is good useful information, but i have found it in multiple place when searching the content.
how much does this type of information hurt our site ranking? If it didn't exist on our site, would that make any difference?
-
based on the pages i review that content that was seen on the pages was for the most part 100% unique.

You can look into Canonical URL's. As per our experience it does help a lot.

Based on what I understand, duplicate pages can be pages with nearly identical content.
For example, I run some sites with profiles for users. If someone only fills in the username and no other personal details, two different users will be reported as duplicate content. The whole page is the same except for one word.
Keep this in mind when evaluating the reported URLs of duplicate content.

Why doesn't OSE show results from sites like Wikipedia, YouTube, Twitter, etc.?
I know OSE used to provide link data from these domains. But I have been doing link profile lookups on sites that I know have links from these domains - and they don't show up in my results. Just to make sure, they don't even show up when I sort the sites by domain authority.

How Can I View Last Week's Page Grading?
How can I see all my on-page grading reports for page grading optimization that decreased for the worse from last week - so as to know which pages to fix? My mozpro email report indicates only ten of them decreased from Grad B to C etc from last week. As I have just migrated to a new cms, I need to find and bring back to grade all effected pages. I can't find how to view historical page grades - just for last weeks. Any ideas anyone? Thanks!

On Page Report Card... with or w/o local modifiers?
Hey all! So I am curious how you recommend using the "on page report card" (which is really helpful) along with the concept of local modifiers. IE, here is a term I am going after: business forums but really I care about a specific location: business forums | Greensboro NC So the word I hear is typically to do your keyword research & page optimization FOR the primary term, but then tack on your local modifiers after. So which do you run reports on? Probably both is the best answer, eh? Obviously my local sites won't have a shot at ranking nationally/internationally for such a broad term as "business forums", especially with some monster sites out there with some serious clout. This is more of a best practices question. Thanks dudes.
