'Duplicate Page Content' for dissimilar pages
-
I'm using Moz's Crawl Diagnostics to try and clean up some SEO priorities for our website (http://www.craftcompany.co.uk) HOWEVER, virtually all of the pages that are being categorised as duplicate content are not the same, or indeed similar.
For instance, these three pages have been deemed duplicated pages;
- http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/pme-rose-leaf-veined-plunger.html
- http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/double-faced-satin-ribbon-black-25mm-wide.html
- http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/double-faced-satin-maroon-10mm-wide-25mt.html
Can anyone give me an insight into why this is?
Many Thanks!

Hi there
I want to say that it may have to do with your canonical tags. For instance...
http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/pme-rose-leaf-veined-plunger.html has a canonical tag for http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/pme-rose-leaf-veined-plunger.html
But, if you use http://craftcompany.co.uk/pme-rose-leaf-veined-plunger.html has a canonical tag for http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/pme-rose-leaf-veined-plunger.html?SID=1c501bb25ab64ab687f30b714dee9969
Your non www. URLs seem to have a SID parameter attached to their canonical tags.
I would check out Google's resource on duplicate content. There are links to help you clean these up. I am not saying that's the reason, but I would definitely clean those URLs up in canonical tags.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Moz is treating my pages as duplicate content but the pages have different content in reality
Attached here is a screenshot of links with duplicate content. Here are some links that is also based on the screenshot http://federalland.ph/construction_updates/paseo-de-roces-as-of-october-2015 http://federalland.ph/construction_updates/sixsenses-residences-tower-2-as-of-october-2015/ http://federalland.ph/construction_updates/sixsenses-residences-tower-3-as-of-october-2015 The links that I have placed here have different content. So I don't why they are treated as duplicates BWWJuvQ

How do you create tracking URLs in Wordpress without creating duplicate pages?
I use Wordpress as my CMS, but I want to track click activity to my RFQ page from different products and services on my site. The easiest way to do this is through adding a string to the end of a URL (ala http://www.netrepid.com/request-for-quote/?=colocation) The downside to this, of course, is that when Moz does its crawl diagnostic every week, I get notified that I have multiple pages with the same page title and the dup content. I'm not a programming expert, but I'm pretty handy with Wordpress and know a thing or two about 'href-fing' (yeah, that's a thing). Can someone who tracks click activity in WP with URL variables please enlighten me on how to do this without creating dup pages? Appreciate your expertise. Thanks!

301 Redirects - But still duplicate content?
Our website domain website.com redirects to website.com/en (since it's in English). Therefore, all pages on website.com redirects to website.com/en. In my Moz analytics, it says I have duplicate content, and lists all of these pages. Didn't the 301 redirects take care of the duplicate content? Or do I still have to add canonical tags?

Multiple Page Title Elements?
Greetings, I am baffled by the recommendation I repeatedly receive from seomoz's on-page optimization tool. The web page I am working on only shows one title between <title>and</title> in it's head. However, seomoz is also reading "Pass to multiple" from somewhere. It recommends that I "Avoid Multiple Page Title Elements" and I would like to but cannot find them. Any suggestions? By the way, I inherited this site and am just trying to deconstruct someone else's work. As a novice, I realize there might be some obvious explanation that I am just missing. Thanks!
