Why does SEO moz show so many more duplicate page titles than webmaster
-
My SEO moz duplicate page titles are more than double the webmaster duplicate page titles. Plus, some of the items appearing in SEO moz are not really duplicates. Anyone else seeing this?
-
Might have to do with canonical urls.. pretty sure SEOMoz report doesn't take that into account when they tell you which pages are duplicate.
Best thing to do is check out what pages are getting picked up by both sources and compare/contrast similarities/differences.
-
For my site it is pretty common for SEOmoz to find things before WMT and for the items to disappear from my dashboard a lot sooner than in my WMT account.
I am always looking at both sources to figure out the issues that need to be fixed. Generally I find that SEOmoz is more comprehensive in finding duplicate page titles on my site provided that they are internally linked and within my 10,000 page crawling limit. WMT will often identify pages that I forgot even existed or that are orphaned.
As far as SEOmoz showing pages that have duplicate titles that aren't duplicates I have only seen that a couple of times and it fixed itself with the next crawl. I attributed it to a glitch and haven't seen it recently.
-
Mine is the opposite. Gewgil wbt is showing several duplicates that seomoz missed. Maybe you have some pages blocked to google that moz is crawling anyway? I just use the reports as guidance. In the end, what google sees as a dup is all that matters.

SEO Moz Bug? Universal Placements
Had a quick look around and can't find anything relating to this. We are doing really well with our universal placements, google places etc. SEOMoz used to recognise them, but now I have no universal placements according to SEOMoz, though they are clearly all still doing well. But in the program, or problem with the data? Thanks Marc

To Many Links on site
I've had an issue with to many links on the site. My drop down menu, secondary footer and footer. The report told me that I had 253 links on each page. I then programmed my secondary footer to dynamic and ran a crawl and my links reduced accordingly to 201. Then turned the footer into dynamic and ran a crawl with my links increasing to 1500. This also happened between each phase but en went away. Oddly enough, my domain authority increased as well as other factors in the crawl report. This too many links thing is driving me crazy. Please provide some guidance.

On Page Analysis and Grading
I am new here and happy to be! My site is an ecommerce site with hundreds of products. I have set up campaigns to track specific products. For the on page analysis where SEOMOZ gives you a grade I have 2 urls showing. But 1 of the urls is getting an A, and 1 is getting a F. But they are the same url and obviously go to the same page. Any help would be appreciated!

Duplicate page title
I own a store www.mzube.co.uk and the scam always says that I have duplicate page titles or duplicate page. What happens is thn I may have for example www.mzube.co.uk/allproducts/page1. And if I hve 20 pages all what will change from each page is the number at the end and all the rest of the page name will be the same but really the pages are if different products. So the scans think I have 20 pages the same but I havent Is this a concern as I don't think I can avoid this Hope you can answer
