Duplicate Page and Title Content
-
We applied the tag to our website but Moz still picked up an error in Duplicate Page Content and Duplicate Title for http://www.corpsyn.com/ and http://www.corpsyn.com/index.html after the crawl was completed yesterday.
From the forum last week, we tried using the rel=”canonical” tag to tell the Moz crawler that the two pages are the same on purpose but it didn't work.
Below is how the code looks on our site up until the rel=”canonical” tag is added:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><title>Group Employee Health Benefits | National Insurance Broker</title>
css/style.css" type="text/css" />
css/style_index.css" type="text/css" />
”http://www.corpsyn.com” />Is there something else we can try?
Thanks

thanks for confirming that
-
Thanks mate.

Hey Everyone,
Thank you for the great answers! I just wanted confirm we do take canonical tags into heavy consideration when validating duplicate pages.
Hope you guys have a great weekend!
-
I think they do.
Our scenario:
http://domain.com and http://domain.com/index both load with the same content, with the proper canonical tag, and we are not getting any duplicate content warning (or titles and desc's).
-
Best to ask a staff this , but I am pretty sure Moz does not take canonical into account while scanning for duplicate titles.
-
Agreed.
Issue: the quotation marks!
FIX: set them right: " . I think that what you used is called "Double prime".
Hope that helps!

Your rel canonical is put up wrongly
Its been set up as - http://www.corpsyn.com/”http://www.corpsyn.com”
which is incorrect
Visit this url:- view-source:http://www.corpsyn.com/
Click on stylesheet url - it will land you correctly. Click on canonical url - it will land you on wrong page

Unsolved Page Optimization Loop
When I am trying to optimise a page within MOZ this message box appears: dcf38be5-eff4-4317-87ab-ab560e8fea7c-image.png I click 'Track Keyword' and it just loops round with the same message over and over again. I have already added this particular keyword to be tracked but I still get the error message. Can anyone help?

Duplicate Content on a page that isn't duplicate?
So, I've been working on a site for a while, and they recently had one of their blog posts marked as "duplicate content" on Moz Pro: https://ashlandbreastpumps.com/blog/breast-milk-storage-guidelines/ Reviewing this post, there's nothing here to suggest that it should be considered duplicate. Link is marked canonical, there are no weird domain shenanigans to cause confusion, the content is distinct, and there's a lot of content there that prevents it from being overcome by coding white noise (So "more content" wouldn't be a solution here). So I'm trying to figure out why this particular post was flagged. Did Moz Pro make a mistake?

Number of pages crawled = 1; Why?
Since November, we've been trying to figure out why, when I select Crawl Diagnostics, my number of pages crawled is only 1. In mid-november, we changed our URL. That is, we went from www.example.com/home-page/ to www.example.com/new-home-page/. My first assumption was that I needed to re-create my Moz profile. That didn't fix it. The only crawl error we get is the no rel="cannonical" found -- but it's there. We find it on every page, including the home page. Our content shows up in search. Moz bar shows us info for every page. I just don't know what else to check. Everything else in my dashboard seems to look as expected. Specifically, I've turned to Crawl Diagnostics to find 4XX errors on our site. Typically we find one or two per week. Sometimes 0. Sometimes 4 or more. But it's been 0 since November. I highly doubt we've arrived at perfection. Any thoughts?

Why is Moz report showing duplicate content?
Dear Moz Community Our weekly Moz crawl diagnostic repoart is showing a significant increase in "Duplicate Page Content" errors for article pages that have unique content, unique file names, unique META title/descriptions, and unique H1 tags. Where could the duplication be coming from? Thanks for your help.
