How to resolve when it is saying duplicate content but the content is not duplicate?
-
Especially since it is our landing page for our blog with multiple excerpt text i.e. growpath.com/resources/

You need to understand that today there are roughly millions of articles, blogs, and web copies already published for content marketing. Many online writers have already written about information that you are thinking about writing.
Checkout the plagiarism level via a tool. It is best to use a premium level tool and see if the content is around 80% to 85% unique and has a rate of 15% plagiarism. Lower than 70% uniqueness can be troubling. So, try and rephrase some words but to not make things too much complicated.
In best case scenario, try to choose topics that are unique, it all depends on your creativity level. Good luck!

I have encountered this in the past. If you KNOW it is not duplicate, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Having said that, in my cases, I just re-wrote the content (very minor changes) and the duplicate content warning went away - all good. Just my 2 cents. Best of luck

Solved Page content writing tool
A long time ago I'm pretty sure I used a tool that helped me write content for a webpage. It checked my writing as I typed and gave suggestions. I can't find the tool anymore. I hope I didn't imagine it as it was really useful..

Hi Moz community, My Moz Pro writes 555 duplicate content errors, when i click on the page address to check witch page duplicate, it gives me the same page address without WWW. http://www.domain.com/page Duplicated: http://domain.com/page The first thing i checked is my .Htaccess file.. , I found out i have a www redirection that redirect everyone without the "www" to the full domain with the "www" - and it works perfectly on the browser.

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

Duplicated content issue?
Hi, Moz tools tell me that I have approx. 15xx Pages with High Priority Issues [Duplicate Page Content] going thru the details here are the majority: many products no longer exist and visitor redirected (404) to a same not found page. duplicated content with url appended with utm_source/utm_medium/utm_campaign GA tracking paras. On those page there are already canonical tags plus I've configed those parameters in Google Webmaster "URL Parameters" how much of these warning could compromise the seo proformance or provided that there have been dealt with should I just ignore these warning?

How do I pull a report to show duplicate page content including links to the pages that are duplicates?
I need to send a report to my developers including the url's which have duplicate page content. Unfortunately the Moz download report only includes the pages that are affected by duplicate page content.

Duplicate Page Title
I am seeing pages show up in my campaign Errors report for Duplicate Page Title. One for example states that this page: https://www.inprocorp.com/AboutInPro/AboutUs/HistoryTimeline/tabid/316/Default.aspx has a duplicate page title as this page: https://www.inprocorp.com/AboutInPro/HistoryTimeline/tabid/316/Default.aspx I have a redirect setup so that if you access page #2, you are redirected to page #1. So how do I get errors like this to drop off my report? Have I not fixed the problem sufficiently for the crawler? Thanks, John

Duplicate Page and Title Content
We applied the tag to our website but Moz still picked up an error in Duplicate Page Content and Duplicate Title for http://www.corpsyn.com/ and http://www.corpsyn.com/index.html after the crawl was completed yesterday. From the forum last week, we tried using the rel=”canonical” tag to tell the Moz crawler that the two pages are the same on purpose but it didn't work. Below is how the code looks on our site up until the rel=”canonical” tag is added: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
