Hi Can anyone please help.
Using the weekly moz reports I realised that my website has gone from 2 duplicate pages to over 5000. As well as this pages with "too long URL" has jumped to over 5000 as well as missing meta tags.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

Download the CSV report and take a look at the URLs to see if they offer a clue. It could be that suddenly there's new pagination or session IDs that are being indexed.

The duplicate content issue you can easily solve by installing Yoast SEO plugin and noindexing the tag pages (you can also noindex categories, archives etc if you need).
Here is a great guide to stetting up the plugin properly and eliminating those page duplication errors http://moz.com/blog/setup-wordpress-for-seo-success
Hope this helps!

What CMS are you using? Could be a problem with a plugin or code.

Problem with duplicate titles
Hi there, after a site crawl Moz has reported that I have duplicated titles, however I don't understand why or how to fix it. Basically the urls are for the same collection or product and are identical except one has a -1 on the end of it or sometimes a %20. I cannot delete the url as they don't exist in my shopify store so cannot find them. The relevant page has the correct url when I check in shopify. Anyone have any ideas?

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!

Page appearing multiple times in Warnings report
In reviewing my Moz warnings report, one page is appearing multiple times because the title is longer than recommended. Is this a bug in Moz? The page is appearing with a number of different URLs, despite there being a rel="canonical" tag. The page's canonical URL is: http://betablog.org/wishing-and-hoping-and-praying/ And in the warnings report I'm seeing variations like this: http://betablog.org/wishing-and-hoping-and-praying/?replytocom=26539 which are clearly links from the comments section.
