Why are my changes not being updated?
-
Last week, I was notified of having a lot of duplicated title pages. I've recently made the changes on my website with unique content.
I went back on MOZ this morning, and I'm still notified with the same problems. However, when I check the back end of that specific page, I see the changes already made. My question is, why are my changes not being updated in MOZ? Does it take awhile for MOZ to recognize this or am I missing a step?

Lastly, I've been using this pattern in regards to meta tag titles...
company name | description
Since all the descriptions are unique, would it still be considered a duplicate, given that I'm always including the company name?

Thanks for all your suggestions!

Pipe symbols don't hurt, the suck up one character spot as any other symbol. Just make sure your title tags are readable and enticing to the potential viewer. In other words.. make it seem to me like "this is the page I want to visit to learn more about sourcing coffee from Ethiopa." So maybe it should read more naturally like "Klatch Coffee Blog: Our Ethiopian Sourcing Trip"
That's what I would do. Not only does that save characters, but it reads more like a Title. Make sense?

Thanks, Jesse!
I'll checkout the weekly updates.
On a side note, I've been changing the meta tag titles to make it more organized. I was wondering if using the symbol "|" to divide the categories would be necessary to have, or would it hurt my overall results?
For example: Klatch Coffee | Coffee Blog | Ethiopia Sourcing Trip

Moz crawl your site weekly and any updates to duplicate content issues will get updated at that time.
The actual day it gets crawled varies depending on account I believe. You can check when it's due in the Crawl Diagnostics section of the campaign overview. At the bottom right you should see last crawl date and when next is due.
So any fixes you're making won't be reflected until the next Moz crawl.

Moz only updates campaigns once a week. This usually happens on a Monday, but chances are your campaign has not been updated yet. It should tell you on all of these pages when exactly the last update was done so you can confirm, but I'm sure this is your issue..
You'll get an email notification when your campaign has been updated and is ready for you to view as well.

How to properly change your website's address in Webmaster Tools?
Hi There,We've launched a new website and as part of the update have changed our domain name - now we need to tell Google of the changes: Both sites were verified in Webmaster Tools From the old site's gear icon, we chose "Change of address" As part of the "Change of address" checklist Google presented, we added 301 redirects to redirect the old domain to the new one But now that the 301 redirects are in place, Google can no longer verify the old site And because it can no longer verify the old site, Google won't let us complete the change of address form How do we tell Google of the change of address in this instance - and has anyone else encountered this?CheersBen

Changing your Anchor Text in 2014
Hello I have a series of question, There was a directory listing we submitted to and got approved. However we got 6 Links total with the same Anchor Text 3 from www and 3 from non www, which is also the Title of our Brand Name. However this is causing an unnatural link. 1. Does Changing the Anchor Text Bad? Does Google have a new way of detecting anchor text changes.

2. Can I change the Title/Anchor to something more generic, so that the anchor text profile is more natural.
3. Since this is a Directory is http://obln.org/ - Does anybody know being on this directory bad?
Or should I just remove this links altogether or Disavow 5 Links and just keep one, because they have a PR5 and has trust flow, losing all the links may not be good as well for ranking. Thanks For your Insight.0 -

Difference between changing sitename.com and sitename.com/ info?
my crawl is showing duplicate content between my sitename.com and sitename.com/ i remember the beginner's guide referencing that these are separate websites - but how do you modify their title info on a wordpress.org blog, and what's the difference between getting to these two sites? also, are there any wordpress.org plugins to mass fix meta descriptions, and not founds, retroactively? i have all in one seo, but not sure how to apply the changes retroactively. a new crawl shows too many to fix manually (89+) missing metas, mostly due to multiple pages on categories, etc. and other time consuming, tedious generations.. any help appreciated, thanks

Updated title tags not displayed in SERPs?
A couple weeks ago I updated the title tags and URLs of some of my site's top landing pages, but the new versions aren't indexed in Google. Webmaster tools says that my site has been crawled since updated. I'm using a pretty old version of Joomla for a CMS, and had to fight with the plugins a little bit to make it all work (sh404SEF for the URLs and sh404SEF Custom Tag Module for the title tags). For example, www.radiussecurityinc.com's indexed title is still: Radius Security Solutions | Home But should be: CCTV System Design - IP Industrial Surveillance | Radius Security Other pages besides the home page have the old title tags as well as old URLs. Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks a lot in advance! Jeff

Site Change of Address - best method?
When changing domains, there's the obvious anxiety about sacrificing the value of your old domain. A client recently changed domains, immediately killed the old site (did everything properly with 301s, Webmaster Tools etc etc etc) and lost rankings completely for weeks. Turns out the site had been 'burnt' by the previous owner and it took a reconsideration request from Google before things recovered. Cost them rankings and cash with extra PPC spend. My question is: In order to avoid this potential hazard, what are your thoughts on submitting a change of address in Webmaster tools, but then leaving old site live for a few weeks to see how things pan out? I have never tried it and it seems to go against the grain, but interested to hear other people's experiences and how they have managed to change domain with minimal temporary damage. Thanks.
