Duplicate Titles being shown for rel=prev / next paginated pages
-
Hello
My duplicate titles report is full of paginated pages eg
www.roger-bot.com/rogers-diary/sites-ive-crawled
www.roger-bot.com/rogers-diary/sites-ive-crawled?p2
www.roger-bot.com/rogers-diary/sites-ive-crawled?p3
www.roger-bot.com/rogers-diary/sites-ive-crawled?p4
www.roger-bot.com/rogers-diary/sites-ive-crawled?p5
www.roger-bot.com/rogers-diary/sites-ive-crawled?p6This would create 5 duplicate titles in the moz report
Is there a quick way to filter these out?

Thanks for your response. Blocking Roger-bot looks like it might be a good idea. Will this affect the DA calculation?

Hi Andrew!
Thanks so much for the great question! When it comes to duplicate titles being flagged in your Site Crawl report, our tool is designed to only flag titles that are an exact match. We won't flag any pages that have only a partial match or that have just a bit of overlapping.
As far as filtering them out of your Site Crawl report, I would recommend using the search bar at the top of your Site Crawl section to search for pages with pagination in the URL. You can use this search part to search/filter by complete URL or partial URL. Once you've sorted and/or filtered out these pages, you can ignore those issues if it's not within your SEO efforts to update those titles. That way they don't end up being flagged with each additional crawl. You can also unignore issues at any time if you decide you want to work on these at a later date.
If you don't want rogerbot to crawl these paginated pages at all, you can block him from those pages using a disallow directive in your robots.txt file, as well, which may be an option for you depending on your SEO and overall site strategy.
If you'd like us to look into this further and provide more feedback and/or troubleshooting tips, feel free to send an email on over to help@moz.com with some examples of the pages you're working with and we'll be sure to look into it!

I've just found the same problem with my Wordpress site. The answer is to add the %%page%% variable to the page title field so the pages then appear with their own number rather than as a duplicate page. This explains it a bit more:

Hope this helps!

Are there no tools for evaluating/recommending internal links in Moz?
Everything I've seen using Moz has been great, but there's one thing I can't figure out how to do. All I want to see is some kind of overview or display of my site's internal link architecture, but there doesn't appear to be anything like that in any of the Moz tools? Am I missing it, or do they just not have anything for that?

Does/could the MpzBar highlight your website in the SERPs?
Is anyone aware of a setting in the MozBar which would highlight your website within SERPs? Or, even more exciting, display a number on the bar when looking at a SERP, showing your best current position for that query (in real time)? If not, it'd be interesting to know your thoughts on the idea? Great for quick checks and references or would it discourage people from staying vigilant in the SERPs and keeping an eye on the competition? (Note: we do have MOZ Pro and are aware that it does something similar. I'm thinking more for a quick check of those difficult targets where you're not hitting the first couple of pages).

Page Authority should get data from non AMP page
If you compare your scores with others sites when tracking a keyword and you or someone else has implemented AMP the score is a 1. It would be better to get the PA from the canonical reference. See screen shot for an example. Does anyone else agree? Can this be developed? cJp9J

Migrate campaign from when site changes from http:// to https://
We moved from our site from http:// to https://, redirecting all traffic to the new https connection. However, in our campaign all scores have dropped (only 1 page crawled). Is there something we can do to migratie the data, or update the existing campaign to reflect this minor change to our existing site?

Including "Volume" on the Tracked Keywords Overview Page in Moz Pro
I've searched Q&A but I did not see where this question has been asked before, so hopefully I'm not repeating a question that has already been asked (and answered). For the past couple of years I have been using Conductor Searchlight as our SEO toolset, however recently I have made the decision to switch to Moz Pro. My question is regarding the Tracked Keywords Overview Page. In the current display, the Overview Page shows Keyword, Location, Universal Results, Rank, URL and Optimize. Has there every been any consideration to also include Volume? One of the nice features of CS Keyword Overview page was that I was able to view the rank of all my keywords, and the volume of each, at the same time. We currently track 275 keywords. Some keywords are obviously more important than others. The CS Overview Page allowed me to quickly scan through the list of keywords, see the ones that were within striking distance of page one (by rank), and since I could also see the volume at the same time, it also allowed me to prioritize which keyword to focus on. If two keywords were both ranked "11", but one had triple of volume of the other, it makes sense to focus on the one with the greater volume. From Moz's Tracked Keywords Overview Page I can drill down and get the "Volume" information that I'm looking for (and lots of other really good information), but I have to do it for each individual keyword. Moz Pro is a great SEO tool and the information available is amazing. The switch from CS has been an easy one, but CS did have some features that I liked, and being able to see both rank and volume on the Overview Page was one them. Any information, suggestions, or work-arounds regarding my question is appreciated. Regards Scott

Idea for the new on-page tool in Pro
Hello, I just ran about something, which looks like a minor change (at least to me, but i totaly get, that what looks like a minor change to the outsider might in fact be a big deal from the developers view) but could easily enhance productivity with the new onpage-tool. In the overview of tracked on-page reports, I think it would be a great idea, to show the number of unsolved suggestions next to the score. Additionally, I'd love to flag some unsolved suggestions on a single page as "ignored". Why should I ignore a suggestion? For example I'm working for a customer, who is using a pretty old e-Commerce System. Therefore there is no possibilty to easiely add canonical tags. Also on some pages, it is not feasible to get below the 100 links per page threshold. On Pages, that list all products of a certain brand, I naturally get the "avoid spamming" suggestion regarding the brand-name Some Pages adress Keywords with german Letters like ÄÜÖß, which cannot be found in the page URL (while Google does get that "über" and "ueber" are the same thing). So there are cases where I can't - or simply don't want - to solve the suggestion. Now it happens almost every week to me, that I see keyword ranking, lets say, at 7 with a score of something like 87. The usual instinct is to click the report to look for the last tweaks. Often then I realise, I checked this report few weeks ago and can't or won't do anything regarding the remaining suggestions. If it would have something like "3 unresolved suggestions (+ 2 ignored)" standing next to each score in the reports overview, it would be my personal usability dream come true - since the number of open suggestions is more important to me then the score. To make it even more aweseome, add a simple filter: "Only show Reports with not-ignored unresolved suggestions". Whoohooo, that would make you one happy customer! Maybe that is something, many people would enjoy to see in an update. Cheers, Christian P.S. sorry for my bad englisch - hopefully you got the idea. unbenannt-3.jpg.html
