How do I interpret Duplicate Content in a Crawl Report, when it only gives me a URL? How do I know what is duplicated on that page somewhere else?
-
I need help interpreting the Crawl Report for Duplicate Content. It gives me the URLs of pages that have duplicate content, but how do I know what content exactly is duplicated elsewhere? And how do I figure out where it is duplicated? Also, are there Moz Analytics articles or videos teaching you how to use each component of the analytics programs? Thanks!

When on the crawl diagnostic page there is the column that says the number of duplicate URLs. If you hover over the little i symbol then the popup will show the other URLs. Also, if you download the CSV of the report there is a column called Duplicate Page Content which lists the URLs.
Edit: Unless I completely misinterpreted what you were asking and you want to know how to find out the exact words or meta that is the same across them all. In which case, Moz usually only picks up duplication of Title Tags, Meta Description and the actually page content. So if they're flagged as duplicates its just a matter of reading the pages or giving them a quick glance to see how similar they are.

Why does the moz bar link count differ from the moz link analysis page
Hi all, Why does the Moz Bar show a different link count from the Moz link analysis page? For example, when I check the SERP below, for the first result, the bar shows 936 page links from 4 RDs. But when I check out the link analysis page, it tells me there are just 141 page links from 4 RDs. What gives? For the second entry, the bar shows 6 page links from 0 RDs. Not sure how that's possible. Can anyone explain these things. Thanks!

Moz not recognising url to setup a new account
I am attempting to setup a new account for my client but Moz is having a problem and not registering the url http://www.esc.uk.net/. I get the "oops" message & read the info on the FAQ page it refers to. Why do I keep getting an "Oops" message when I type and submit my campaign URL? To create a campaign, we need to receive a valid HTTP response from the web server hosting your site. While the site may be accessible from a standard web browser, other user-agents and search engine bots may receive a different response. If you receive this error, we recommend running a test by sending an HTTP response using any online HTTP tool. Using an online HTTP tool I believe I received an HTTP response. What else can I do?

How do I update the crawl issues & Notifications?
I have a list of errors, most relating to missing meta descriptions. I have added a meta description to a page, visited the site and viewed the source, and the meta description is now there. When I go to analyze issues, the report it gives back for the link contains the same missing meta description as previously. How do I get it to update and realize the issue has been fixed?

Track effects of content changes on specific page SERP
We are planning to implement changes to the content and layout of a page on our website due to the results of an A/B test. The URL, title, and meta will remain the same. How can we track the effect of these changes on this specific page has on SERP? We are being vague because we don't want to guide any answers to a specific question as I have not fully figured out MOZ's capabilities.
