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.

Duplicate content on Product pages for different product variations.
I have multiple colors of the same product, but as a result I'm getting duplicate content warnings. I want to keep these all different products with their own pages, so that the color can be easily identified by browsing the category page. Any suggestions?

Is this duplicate content when there is a link back to the original content?
Hello, My question is: Is it duplicate content when there is a link back to the original content? For example, here is the original page: http://www.saugstrup.org/en-ny-content-marketing-case-infografik/. But that same content can be found here: http://www.kommunikationsforum.dk/anders-saugstrup/blog/en-ny-content-marketing-case-til-dig, but there is a link back to the original content. Is it still duplicate content? Thanks in advance.

Crawl Errors and Duplicate Content
SEOmoz's crawl tool is telling me that I have duplicate content at "www.mydomain.com/pricing" and at "www.mydomain.com/pricing.aspx". Do you think this is just a glitch in the crawl tool (because obviously these two URL's are the same page rather than two separate ones) or do you think this is actually an error I need to worry about? Is so, how do I fix it?

Duplicate content
I am getting flagged for duplicate content, SEOmoz is flagging the following as duplicate: www.adgenerator.co.uk/ www.adgenerator.co.uk/index.asp These are obviously meant to be the same path so what measures do I take to let the SE's know that these are to be considered the same page. I have used the canonical meta tag on the Index.asp page.
