WP 4.0 Update Causing Major Duplicate Content Errors?
-
According to my moz analytics, my site has went through the roof with duplicate content. There's a nice Mozzer named Abe looking into this with me, but I'm wondering if it could be due to the WP 4.0 update. Has anyone else experienced an uptick like this before? I've never had any problems with the other updates.
Thanks,
Ruben

Hey Ruben,
In all the 4.0 updates done for our sites and client sites, we haven't seen an increase. We're doing our main site update on Monday, which has a lot more content and pages than most of our other sites, so I'll be curious to see if anything changes that we don't already know about.
We're going through a mess with the 4.0 updates across a bunch of websites we did using the All In One Events Calendar with customized coding for display purposes on the front end and we've been cleaning up that mess. The AIO Calendar was giving each site a "fatal error" when switching from the List view we designed to their Calendar view. But as far as any other update bugs, we have been fortunate not to have any other issues.
Hope Abe can find something out for you and it may just be a temporary glitch of some sort. - Patrick

What do I do with content suggestions to help you rank higher?
I am looking at the Page Optimization on a post. Under content suggestions to help you rank higher - Are they recommending that I use the recommend anchor text and use one of the top ranking websites to link to those?

UPDATE: Rank Tracker is NOT being retired!
Update: Thank you all for your open and honest feedback about our planned retirement of Rank Tracker. Our product team has taken all of it to heart, discussed some alternatives, and has made the decision NOT to retire Rank Tracker at this time. Instead, we want to learn more from you about what makes this tool so useful for you and your business. From what we learn in this survey, we will take steps to design a better solution for you than simply shutting it down. Please take this Rank Tracker survey! ************************************************************************************************************************************** Hello! I am a product manager on the Moz Pro team, and I want to let you know about an upcoming change to Moz Pro. On June 8th, 2018, we are retiring Rank Tracker, one of our tools for tracking keyword rankings. Why? We want to make Moz Pro easier to navigate and use. Right now, Moz has two tools that allow you to track keyword rankings: Rank Tracker and Campaigns. We’ve talked to a lot of customers and overwhelming feedback has been that this is just plain confusing. We agree. Don’t worry! You can still use Moz Pro for all your rank tracking and keyword research. Campaigns is the primary tool you should be using to track your keyword rankings and Keyword Explorer is your go-to to discover and prioritize the best keywords to target. What do Rank Tracker users need to know? To keep a record of your tracked keyword history, you will need to export your tracked history to CSV. If you have opted-in to receive weekly ranking emails for your tracked keywords, you will no longer receive these email alerts after June 1st, 2018. What should I do now? If you are not using Rank Tracker then this change does not impact you one bit. If you use Rank Tracker for keyword tracking, you will need to add any keywords you would like to keep tracking to a Moz Pro campaign. You can create a new campaign or add keywords to an existing campaign by navigating to the Rankings tab and selecting Add & Manage Keywords. If you have any more questions or feedback, please leave it in the comments below. Thanks! Kiki

500 errors showing up differently on moz and google wmt
Lately, I've been having the issue of a large increase in 500 errors. These errors seem to be intermittent, in other words, Google and Moz are showing that I have server 500 errors for many pages but, when I actually check the links, everything's fine. I've run tests to see if there is any virus on the server or if I have any corrupt files and as far as I can tell, there are none. I'm left with the possibility that maybe one of my plugins is causing this issue (I'm built on top of Wordpress). Moz is showing that I had nearly five hundred 500 server errors on the 12th or the 11th. On the other hand, Google shows that on the 13th I had 179 server errors and then an additional 200 for the 15th. I'm assuming Google is slow to find or report these things? I would like to know which is more reliable so that I can try to figure out which of these plugins may be causing the problem, if any or if I'm investigating this the wrong way, I'd love to have more suggestions. Thanks in advance! Sorry, the url is http://www.heartspm.com if you'd like to take a look.

I'm checking keyword difficulty for two different sites. Would love to view the results by site instead of just one large list. Is that possible? Or would it just be easier to keep the lists separate in Excel and just import when I want an updated report?
I have keyword lists for two sites. Is there a way to label them in the keyword difficulty tool (List A, List B) so I can just view results for a particular site? Or do I need to run the report with List A, export results, delete those keywords, then run the report for List B?

Can Moz use canconical links to prevent notices about duplicate content issues?
if so how do we enable this - we've an average size site with a few hundred products but they appear in multiple categories, canonical url points to it's primary category (but a new page exists for each section... so for /cat-a/abc there will be another page cat-b/abc and again but the canonical points to cat-a always for that product) basically I see this kind of duplication error / notice as a false positive... help me
