How can I find duplicate pages from a Moz Crawl?
-
We have many duplicate pages that show up on the Moz Crawl, and we're trying to fix these but it's very difficult because I can't see a way to isolate the code where the duplicate is found. For instance, http://experiencemission.org/immersion/ is one of our main pages, and the crawl shows one duplicate of http://experiencemission.org/immersion. It appears that one of our staff manually edited the source code in one of our pages but forgot the trailing slash. This would be an easy fix but the problem is that this page is linked to internally on our website 2423 times, so it's next to impossible to find the code that is incorrect. We have many other pages with this same basic problem. We know we have duplicates, but it's next to impossible to isolate them.
So my question is this: When viewing the Moz Crawl data is there any way to see where a specific duplicate page link is located on our website?
Thanks for any and all help!

Thanks for taking the time to respond. The open site explorer is helpful for issues that have a manageable number of internal links. However, for the example above and a few others like it on our website it is not that helpful because isolating the link would still require us to click on the pages individually to view the source code. This is because most of our errors are minor errors such as an omitted slash or capitalization. Such errors are flagged as duplicate content in our Moz crawl but the links still work because they redirect to the correct page and thus they are not able to be isolated on the open site explorer. Unfortunately the .csv is no help at all because it only shows the page being linked to not the page where the actual link is coming from.
Are we just out of luck on this or is there another option?

Hey there! You've got a couple different options for ways to track this information down. The first would be to head into your campaign, head over to the Site Crawl and click on the link towards the bottom for Duplicate Page Content. Right below the graph you'll see a button that says Download CSV. Open that up and head on over to column AM and you'll see the referring URL! Another option is to jump into Open Site Explorer and check out the internal inbound links. Hope this helps and let us know if you need anything else!

How can a page have high Google/ organic traffic but show no ranking keywords in Moz?
We have a page on our website with a higher than average number of pageviews, 85% of which came from Google organic search. When I research this page by entering the URL into the "exact page" keyword research tool, Moz says it has no ranking keywords. How can a page be earning organic traffic without ranking for any keywords?

Moz Crawler Causing Server Timeouts... Crawling thousands of non-existant pages with query parameters
Moz crawler is crawling all pages like this: http://www.xxxx.com/?product_count=100&product_order=desc&product_orderby=date http://www.xxxx.com/?product_count=100&product_order=desc&paged=1 http://www.xxx.com/?product_count=100&product_order=desc&product_view=grid Last month it crawled 80,000 pages on a site with less than 100 pages. Is there a way to select only certain pages to be crawled? Right now it is still crawling this site, since Monday morning and it's Tuesday mid-day. Every Monday it is causing time-outs from high band width on our server. Just getting ready to delete this client from the account unless there is a solution someone can give us. Thanks.

External Links not showing in MOZ?
Hello:) I have a ton of external links on my site, but there not showing on MOZ? The reason i'm slightly concerned is because my top competitor has 80 and I show as only having 3? Does any one know why this would be? Also, my traffic on MOZ is a lot lower then my traffic report on Google Analytics? Is that normal, & which should I trust more? Here's my Site: Www.ThumannAgency.com Thank you in advance:)

URL is www.yourwebsite.shopify.com - Will my on-page efforts be fruitless with this kind of URL. Will the MOZ 'on-page grader' work properly with pages at www.yourwebsite.shopify.com or www.yourwebsite.com? Any Advice, pitfalls of performing on-page and off-page SEO in Shopify? Can you recommend an SEO plugin/APP for Shopify? Will I need a developer/coder to perform SEO in Shopify - Title and Descriptions? Best tool to find long-tail keywords? Thanks. JOE

Duplicate content reported for totally different pages
Hi, The Moz report is showing just over 21,500 duplicate page issues on our site. This is more or less every page we have. However when I look at the pages it says are duplicates they are totally different (it could for example report that a news page for 2009 is the same as a product page just added which has no relation when you read the content or view the page). What sort of thing could it be picking up as duplicate content? I assume it must be something in the HTML for the site rather than the actual page content as there is no cross over at all on the pages highlighted. The only issue I can currently identify is that the menu for the mobile version of the site has a huge number of internal links which I will cut down. If the tools purely look at HTML content this could be seen as duplicate but shouldn't it be clever enough to realise what is content and what is site structure? Thanks,

Connect to Google Analytics problem (Moz Analytics)
Hello - I recently received the Beta invite to Moz Analytics (very excited). I set up the campaign for our primary site and entered our Google Analytics profile - however, Moz does not seem to accept the profile when I click the "Save" button. All of our profiles are listed w/in the drop-down menu, but after selecting the profile we wish to link/connect to - nothing happens. So we're not receiving any stats w/in Moz from our GA acct. Please help. I'm really anxious to begin delving into Moz Analytics! Thanks
