Hi
sorry if I was not clear, I add canonical meta after the first weeks scan but these errors have appeared?
Thanks paul

If the errors were fixed since the last weekly crawl you will not see the changes reflected until you get the new weeks crawl data.
-
This campaign has been running for three weeks and I have corrected many of the errors, in fact I thought I had corrected all the errors. I was waiting for this weeks campaign to confirm the errors were fixed so that I could report back to my client but now have these new errors
-
I'd love to help get an answer for you! This is Abe from the Moz Help Team. Were these changes made after your weekly crawl took place?
-
Well if everything is correct in the header then technically you don't have any problem. So you're not really waiting for something to clear up, you're just waiting for Moz to catch up. If you could post one of the URLs here I could provide a second set of eyes to double-check your canonical.

right thats a bit painful, need to wait a week to see if it clears itself
-
Occasionally I've had issues where Moz doesn't seem to recognize the canonical right away (or sometimes randomly forgets the canonical is there when its seen it before) and reports duplicate content to me. Its ultimately always cleared itself up though. Double-check your canonicals are definitely written correctly, in the right spot and pointing to the right URL. If they are, I'd say wait to see if Moz fixes itself next crawl.

Duplicate Page Content
The site crawl is registering duplicate page content for our storefront site, but the pages aren't the same. They're ascending pages within the same category (ex: Featured, Featured pg2, Featured pg3, and so on). What can be done to fix these errors or prevent them in the future?

Problem Downloading Crawl Error Report PDF's
I am trying to download the PDF reports for the various 'crawl errors' - now some of them are quite large but would that justify why I am unable to download - the error is a straightforward one, see attached. Any ideas? Andy aDlViIN

Duplicate content - Which is the other duplicate page?
Hi I just ran a campaign, and I got a duplicate content warning for some of my pages. When I go into the diagnostic report, I am unable to find the page detected by google as 'duplicate' to the main page. Unless I know which 2 pages are being detected as duplicate, it'll be really difficult to actually solve the problem. Would be great to have any kind of help here. Thanks in advance!

Crawl Diagnostics: Exlude known errors and others that have been detected by mistake? New moz analytics feature?
I'm curious if the new moz analytics will have the feature (filter) to exclude known errors from the crwal diagnostics. For example, the attached screenshot shows the URL as 404 Error, but it works fine: http://en.steag.com.br/references/owners-engineering-services-gas-treatment-ogx.php To maintain a better overview which errors can't be solved (so I just would like to mark them as "don't take this URL into account...") I will not try to fix them again next time. On the other hand I have hundreds of errors generated by forums or by the cms that I can not resolve on my own. Also these kind of crawl errors I would like to filter away and categorize like "errors to see later with a specialist". Will this come with the new moz analytics? Anyway is there a list that shows which new features will still be implemented? knPGBZA.png?1

Dupe content report showing in 'Errors' section when surely should be in 'Warnings' section ?
Why is the dupe content info showing in errors and not warnings ? Since if dupe content can get your site penalised (as per Panda) or worse banned, surely it should be in that section of reports ? Cheers
