Why is Moz Crawl Diagnostics labelling pages as duplicate when they appear to be different?
-
Moz Crawl Diagnostics is flagging some pages on the Doorfit website as duplicate, yet the page content is completely different and not identical.
Example.
Page: http://www.doorfit.co.uk/locks-security/secondary-security
Duplicate: http://www.doorfit.co.uk/seals-and-sealants?cat=279
Does anybody have any suggestions as to why this might be the case?
Thanks

I think that it is a good possibility. I wouldn't put Canonical tags on the product page however. The product page isn't the same as the category page, the html coding is just very similar between the two.

Thanks for the answer!
Do you think this might be the case for this example as well?
-
I would add some content to these pages. When you look at the source code of those pages the html coding is almost identical. That is most likely what is causing the duplicate content error. There is no text to html ratio, it is all html coding.

Multiple campaigns for similar pages
Hello, Moz family! I am fairly new to the SEO game, so this question may be irrelevant. Here is a little context to begin; the business I am serving has an overview page (see below), which I have started a campaign for. On the overview page, there are 10 different links that can take the user to a specific page. It is hard to gather rankings for these keywords because there are so many different pages we link to. I guess what I am asking is, is the only way to gauge keywords across multiple pages is to start multiple campaigns? I hope this makes sense, but if I need to clarify more please let me know! Thanks in advance!

Moz not allowing me to add social profiles?
I have 13 Facebook accounts I want to connect. I got 5 of them to connect, and Moz says that I have 10 of 15 accounts left. However, when I try to add another account it says that I have reached the maximum amount of accounts already?
