Duplicate page reported in Wordpress site, but I can't find it in All Pages list
-
In a crawl report a duplicate page content warning has been displayed. The two urls are
1. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop
and
2. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/It's a WordPress site and I cannot find the second page anywhere in the list of All Pages in the Admin (I want to add canonicalisation code) When I view the 2nd page and click Edit Page, it redirects to the 1st page.
Any ideas where SEOMoz would be finding this 2nd page or how it might be being generated?
(btw I didn't build this site)
Thanks
Simon

Have you gotten the opportunity to run the site through
http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test
it tells you it takes 2 days but I find normally takes about 20 min. the information it gives I think is far greater than what Google Webmaster tools can ever do. Are you replying to me when you say you think it's correct about the pages having one being a category and the other being a page? Were you referring to the challenge that posted 1st? I do a lot of WordPress and would be more than happy to look at it again if you would like me to?
this answered your question then? if it did please follow the guidelines and give credit where you feel are appropriate.
Respectfully,
Thomas Zickell

Hi,
Yes I think that's correct. As it turns out Google Webmaster didn't pick up on this as a problem, though it did list all the pages that form part of the checkout process which I've blocked using robots.txt)
Think I'm all good now, thanks for the replies!

I just wanted to be clear the reason you cannot find it in your page list is it's in your categories list
-
I would have to strongly agree with Chris's guests or that WordPress is simply treating your category as a page as it does commonly. The 2 I received are the ones below. You can clearly see 2 separate and URLs with category catalog being the difference any category can be a page
http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/
http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/
I hope I have been of some help to you,
Thomas

It looks like the page that links to the page:
http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/
is the "prev" and "1" link in the pagination menu on this page:

Low KDS but high DA for all page 1 sites
Hi there A KDS report question... My client has a keyword with a low KDS (garden hose - 28). Intuitively this seemed too low, and when I checked what ranks, it is all high quality brand sites with high DAs. Admittedly the specific pages ranking have low PAs, but I can't see my client ever being able to compete with these big boys right now. How come the KDS is so low? This seems just wrong as the metric implies it is a good keyword to target - I know there are always lots of other things to check, but this does make me less confident with KDS reporting Anyone got any thoughts on this? Many thanks

How can I correct this massive duplicate content problem?
I just updated a clients website which resulted in about 6000 duplicate page content errors. The way I set up my clients new website is I created a sub folder calles blog and installed wordpress on that folder. So when you go to suncoastlaw.com your taken to an html website, but if you click on the blog link in the nav, your taken to the to blog subfolder. The problem I'm having is that the url's seem to be repeating them selves. So for example, if you type in in http://suncoastlaw.com/blog/aboutus.htm/aboutus.htm/aboutus.htm/aboutus.htm/ that somehow is a legitimate url and is being considered duplicate content of of http://suncoastlaw.com/aboutus.htm/. This repeating url only seems to be a problem when the blog/ is in the url. Any ideas as to how I can fix this?

Links don't add up
Sorry if this is obvious, but I'm new to seomoz. I've run an analysis for one of my pages and it's showing 624 total links - 118 internal and 6 external. Why doesn't the sum of the internal and external links equal the total links?

I'm seeing duplicate links listed in open site explorer. Can anyone explain why this might be happening?
For each link listed in Open Site Explorer, I am seeing two identical entries. You can see why this might be a problem for both workflow and data accuracy. Any ideas why this might be happening? Is there a setting or filter that I'm missing?
