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,

Is SEOmoz spider ignoring my redirect?
My client was previously serving their website from both a .co.uk and a .com domain. The DNS for each of these domains was pointing to the same place, rather than redirecting. I saw this as a potential duplicate content problem so I set the .co.uk to 301 redirect on to the .com. As a user, the 301 seems to be working correctly. However, now that I have done this, SEOmoz is picking up thousands of "inbound" links from the .co.uk domain. Essentially, every single link on the internal site, is being duplicated in my stats as an inbound link as well. It appears that the spider is ignoring the redirect. I'm not sure if it's a legitimate issue that will upset Google too, or if it's just a bug with SEOMoz's spider.

"Issue: Duplicate Page Content " in Crawl Diagnostics - but sample pages are not related to page indicated with duplicate content
In the crawl diagnostics for my campaign, the duplicate content warnings have been increasing, but when I look at the sample pages that SEOMoz says have duplicate content, they are completely different pages from the page identified. They have different Titles, Meta Descriptions and HTML content and often are different types of pages, i.e. product page appearing as having duplicate content vs. a category page. Anyone know what could be causing this?

Getting SEOMoz reports to ignore certain parameters
I want the SEOMoz reports to ignore duplicate content caused by link-specific parameters being added to URLs (same page reachable from different pages, having marker parameters regarding source page added to the URLs). I can get Google and Bing webmaster tools to ignore parameters I specify. I need to get SEOMoz tools to do it also!

SEOmoz Crawl CSV in Excel: already split by semicolon. Is this Excel's fault or SEOmoz's?
If for example a page title contains a ë the .csv created by the SEOmoz Crawl Test is already split into columns on that point, even though I haven't used Excel's text to columns yet. When I try to do the latter, Excel warns me that I'm overwriting non-empty cells, which of course is something I would rather not do since that would make me lose valuable data. My question is: is this something caused by opening the .csv in Excel, or earlier in the process when this .csv is created?

Crawl Diagnostics bringing 20k+ errors as duplicate content due to session ids
Signed up to the trial version of Seomoz today just to check it out as I have decided I'm going to do my own SEO rather than outsource it (been let down a few times!). So far I like the look of things and have a feeling I am going to learn a lot and get results. However I have just stumbled on something. After Seomoz dones it's crawl diagnostics run on the site (www.deviltronics.com) it is showing 20,000+ plus errors. From what I can see almost 99% of this is being picked up as erros for duplicate content due to session id's, so i am not sure what to do! I have done a "site:www.deviltronics.com" on google and this certainly doesn't pick up the session id's/duplicate content. So could this just be an issue with the Seomoz bot. If so how can I get Seomoz to ignore these on the crawl? Can I get my developer to add some code somewhere. Help will be much appreciated. Asif
