I am trying to correct duplicate content. However SEOmoz only reports and shows the page of duplicate content.

I have 5 years worth of blogs and cannot find the duplicate page.

Is my only option to just delete the page to improve my rankings.

You can also confirm duplicate content (titles, descriptions and URLs) with either;

• Google webmaster tools - they will tell you most all errors you need to take action on
• screaming frog seo spider

You can also check out this post I just did about WordPress SEO to get some more in depth info on finding duplicate issues with WordPress blogs (I assume you're on WordPress).

Thanks!!

I have always published multiple updated blogs with new information under the same individual category.

I know google likes curent information however do i need to do a new category when I want to write new info about the same topic

If you have lots of duplicate content, the chances are your url structure is causing it in which case the problem will return with every blog post, so deleting is probably not the answer.

Check the obvious things like is it caused by having a www. and non-www. version, if it accessable via diffrent capatalisation, and fix any related issues.

The other common things to check are tag and catagory pages which can easly end up looking exactly the same. Fix what you can before deleting the content, else you risk masking the problem.
