Duplicate page/Title content - Where?

[wood1e2]

Hi,

I have just run a crawl on a new clients site, and there is several 'duplicate page content' and 'Duplicate Page Title'' issues.

But I cannot find any duplicate content.  And to make matters worse.  The actual report has confused me.

Just for example the about us page is showing in both reports and for both under 'Other URLs' it is showing 1?

Why? Does this mean there is 1 other page with duplicate page title? or duplicate page content?

Where are the pages that have the duplicate page titles, or duplicate page content?

I have run scans using other software and a copyscape scan.  And apart from missing page titles, I cannot find any page that has duplicate titles or content.

I can find % percentages of pages with similar/same page titles/content. But this is only partial and contextually correct.

So I understand that SEO Moz may pick percentage of content, which is fine, and therefore note that there is duplicate content/page titles.

But I cannot seem to figure out where I would the source of the duplicate content/page titles.

As there is only 1 listed in both reports for 'Other URLs'

Hopefully my long question, has not confused. many thanks in advance for any help

that is correct

Hi

Many thanks for that.

So with Canonical, I put the actual URL in the pages?

For example

www.mywebsite.com/buses

I put www.mywebsite.com/buses as the canonical

Then on www.mywebsite.com/buses?p1

I use www.mywebsite.com/buses as the canonical?

if many show 1 url as duplicate this could be due to non-ww and www redirect issues or be related to dynamic urls (common for paginated pages)

if these are the case fix the redirect issue to either non-www or www and fit in a canonical tag to paginated pages. (google is your friend for finding code)

Hi William

Just as a quick note, if you click on the "1" in the Other URL column, it will take you to a page that lists the actual URL the report is flagging as duplicate.
