SEOmoz duplicate content checker
-
From my reports in seomoz i can see pages that are showing as having duplicate content but when i click on them it does not show me which pages are carrying the duplicate content?
Is there any way to check this via semoz reports?

Hi Jazavide!
This is Megan from SEOmoz. Sorry about the troubles finding your duplicate URLs! If you click into the duplicate content error, there's a section that says 'other URLs' with numbers that you can click on. Here's a screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/617gjHQFx34
Once you click on these numbers, you'll be able to see the URLs that are duplicates. You can also find this information by exporting your crawl diagnostics to a CSV: http://screencast.com/t/dS0ptEPx
We also have a great resource for learning more about the crawl diagnostics section of your campaign in our Help Hub: http://www.seomoz.org/help/crawl-diagnostics
I hope this helps!

Hi jazavid
Another way you can check is to run a crawl test under the SEO Web Crawler Tool.
Open the results in Excel. You will see the Yes/No to duplicate content question in column L. Column M is headed up as 'URLs with Duplicate Page Content (up to 5)' For every URL that says Yes to duplicate content, you will see listed up to 5 other URLs that are considered as duplicate
Hope this helps

It does show the pages that are showing the duplicate content.
If you go to your dashboard and click on the campaign you want.
Under "crawl diagnostics" and "most common errors and warnings" click on the blue link that says "duplicate page content"
Once you are there, scroll down to below the graph and you'll see the pages there.

All I really wanted to know is if the semoz duplication tool carrys out its full purpose.
So I can see that seomoz identifies that there is duplicate content via the crawl diagnostics but then it seems not to show where these duplicate pages are? So it seems like the tool is only doing half of its job unless i am using it incorrectly?
Anyone any ideas if this tool identifies which are the duplicate pages?
Thanks

If you have a campaign setup you can go to the crawl diagnostics and click on the duplicate content warning to get more details. If not then perhaps you could use Google Webmaster Tools.
Here is a post about finding duplicate content that can help on SearchEngineJournal.com
Usually duplicate content is caused by urls's and can be fixed with 301 or canonical tags.
Hope this helps,

Why SEOmoz bot consider these as duplicate pages?
Hello here, SEOmoz bot has recently marked the following two pages as duplicate: http://www.virtualsheetmusic.com/score/PatrickCollectionFlPf.html?tab=mp3 http://www.virtualsheetmusic.com/score/PatrickCollectionFlPf.html?tab=pdf I don't personally see how these pages can be considered duplicate since their content is quite different. Thoughts??!!

Duplicate content in SEOMOZ report
Hi guys, The SEOMOZ report shows there is duplicate content on my Magento ecommerce: footdistrict.com Example: http://footdistrict.com/nike-air-royalty-386169602.html?___store=footdistrict_en Duplicate content shown on the report: http://footdistrict.com/marcas/puma.html?___store=footdistrict_en

http://footdistrict.com/new-balance-gm500mbn.html?___store=footdistrict_en
http://footdistrict.com/new-balance-m400nnb.html?___store=footdistrict_en My guess is that this is due to the fixed footer that we have set where modal windows pop up with delivery info and so on. As such, all the content within it is repeated through all the pages What do you recommend me to remove this duplicate content? I have read about duplicate content issues but they don't usually deal with div tag duplicate issues, modal windows and so on. Thanks Regards0 -

SEOMOZ Crawling Our Site
Hi there, We get a report from SEOMOZ every week which shows our performance within search. I noticed for our website www.unifor.com.au that it looks through over 10,000 pages, however our website sells less than 500 products so not sure why or how so many pages are trawled? If someone could let me know that would be great. It uses up a lot of bandwidth doing each of these searches so if the amount of pages being trawled reduced it would definitely assist. Thanks, Geoff

Is there a way to specify what SEOmoz classes as duplicate content?
Hi all, Currently working through the laundry list of errors and warning on our company's 24 websites. Due to the ridiculous amount of on page links and the sheer volume of products on our sites, much of the descriptive text is similar, following a strict pattern to best mention our USPs and the like. Of course we use a CMS, which means that all the pages look the same and draw this information from the style sheet. Anyways, to the problem at hand. I have been tasked with reducing the "error" count on the SEOmoz admin panel, the problem being SEOmoz is reporting duplicate page content, when they are different, but similar products, for example, 35, 45 and 55 litre refrigeration units. Is there a way in which I can specify what classes as duplicate content, or make the duplicate content report more restrictive, so that everything HAS to be the same for this error to show. Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

How often does SEOMoz refresh their link analysis data?
I know that my link profile has changed within the last month, yet both SEOMoz campaign link analysis and Open Site Explorer have shown the exact same number of links for more than a month. Majestic SEO fluctuates as I would expect, but Moz data is unchanged.

What is the best method to solve duplicate page content?
The issue I am having is an overwhelmingly large number of pages on cafecartel.com show that they have duplicate page content. But when I check the errors on SEOmoz it shows that the duplicate content is from www.cafecartel.com not cafecartel.com. So first of all, does this mean that there are two sites? and is this a problem I can fix easily? (i.e. redirecting the URL and deleting the extra pages) Is this going to make all other SEO useless due to the fact that it shows that nearly every page has duplicate page content? Or am I just completely reading the data wrong?

My crawl diagnostic is showing 2 duplicate content and titles.
First of all Hi - My name is Jason and I've just joined - How you all doing? My 1st question then: When I view where these errors are occurring it says www mydomain co uk and www mydomain co uk/index.html Isn't this the same page? I have looked into my root folder and only index.html exists.
