Prioritising campaign issues
-
HI Guys,
Im just going through the data from our campaign I and I see we have the following.
** Too Many On-Page Links 10 000**
Duplicate Page Title 8700
Duplicate Page Content 8000
Missing Meta Description Tag 1800
In terms of remedying, what do I need to prioritise? For instance does google penalise you more for duplicate URLs or more for too many links on page links? I look forward to hearing from you

I have to second Miki on this. If I were you, I would take it:
- Duplicate titles
- Duplicate content
- On-page links
- Meta descriptions
The on-page links issue may be diluting your link juice, but duplicate titles and content could actually be affecting your indexability. There's likely overlap between the duplicate titles and duplicate content problems, so fixing titles may take care of a lot of the duplicate content; wrap up what's left after the titles are fixed. Take care of the missing meta descriptions after these more systemic issues have been addressed.
Good luck!

I would focus on the Page Title, and Duplicate Content stuff first.
The description tag won't hurt or help your ranking, it will just have an effect on your CTR.
Once you go through the Title & Content, start remedying the # of links.
Hope that helps.

Possible to Migrate Campaign Settings?
We have completed a a domain migration. I am ready to archive the existing campaign but would like to migrate the settings (keywords, etcetera) to the new campaign for the new domain. All settings to remain the same except for the domain name. Can this be done in a simple manner. I am not technical so I hope it is really easy. Thanks,

Google doesn't class these as so serious, so we were wondering if anyone knows why Mos does?0 -
Duplicate Page and Title Issues
On the last crawl, we received errors for duplicate page titles and some duplicate content pages. Here is the issue: We went through our page titles that were marked as duplicate and changed them to make sure their titles were different. However, we just received a new crawl this week and it is saying there are even more duplicate page title errors detected than before. We're wondering if this is a problem with just us or if it has been happening to other Moz users. As for the duplicate content pages, what is the best way to approach this and see what content is being looked at as a "duplicate" set?

FollowerWonk Issue?
Used followerwonk to do a Comparison of followers of my brand and two competitors. the question I have is Retweets, Contacts, and URL tweets are broken in percentages all equaling 100%, but how are these calculated to begin with? are each of the three categories compared to social authority or to each other? Basically, I ran it on my brand and it says there are 0% of retweets, when I know there are at least 6 retweets done by the brand.

Ok, I have a strange duplicate content issue.
Just ran MOZ against my site and about fell of my chair, over 1k pages being flagged as having duplicate content. That's about every page on the site. I downloaded the CSV file and things got even more confusing, The URL's under "URL" and " Duplicate Page Content" area exactly the same. Am I missing something? I would expect the URL under Duplicate Page Content to show a different URL, to the page with the exact same content. Any help would be appreciated, traffic is tanking and I need to get this figured out. Thanks,

Rel Can notice issue on my SEOMoz reporting
Need some help understanding this report... I have 17 notices for Rel Can on my campaign. Then, it lists all the links. But what is this report actually telling me? Is it telling me that Rel Can's are listed on these pages? The are all blog posts...our blog was redirected when the site was recently rebuilt. I just need to understand what the report is really telling me to do/not do. Or is it ok to ignore this "notice"?

Overall Campaign Statistics
Hey Moz fam! I'm not sure if anyone has come across something or has tried to figure this out but I was trying to gather some overall statistics to see how our campaigns have performed. I.e. for our own marketing purposes to say "our clients have seen a 50% increase in rankings over the past 3 months". I wasn't sure if you could gather overall information like that? Any ideas? or any other ways you have found out data like this? Thanks so much! Any responses are much appreciated!!
