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

Keywords showed volume before but now they say 'no data available'
Keywords showed volume before but now they say 'no data available'. And this is happening with common words like "prints" - I'm dead certain this keyword should not have 'no data available'. What's going on? How do I reset or fix this? I only have 12 days left of my trial and I can't even use the feature I need.

My duplicate pages are mostly Tag pages...what are best practices?
As I'm looking through my Moz Pro reports on Pages with Duplicate Content, almost all the results are from the automatically created "tag" pages from my blog. I.e., takeflyte.com/flyte/tags/kickapps Should I worry about this? Does it have a negative impact in my search visibility? Should I be using canonical tags on these pages (and if so, pointing them where if there's multiple pages that use the same tags?) How would you recommend handling this issue?

How do I stop these duplicate reports being emailed?
It used to be that I received just one weekly report per campaign when using MozPro. Over the last couple of weeks/month (since creating MozAnalytics reports) I've started to receive 2 reports for the same campaign...with no different whatsoever, apart from the time that they have been sent. I've been back into the old MozPro campaigns and deleted any automated reports that were being generated there, and so now I should have just one weekly MozAnalytics report from each campaign. Has anyone had this problem before and do they know how to fix it? Getting really annoying, especially with 13 campaigns resulting in 26 emails! Thanks

Why Moz Analytics says that my site had a 13% traffic increase and Moz Pro says that the same site had 3% decrease on traffic?
Every Tuesday The first thing I do in the morning is check my updates on my Moz Campaigns... Today the numbers just don't make sense... How come Moz Analytics and Moz Pro are showing different numbers? Does any one have the same problem? Which one should i trust?

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">

Duplicate Page Content Report on Moz - Still ranking in Google Results?
Hi, I am experiencing 2 issues with the Duplicate Page Content in Moz. Every week it is notifying me of new duplicate content - so it seems to be missing duplicate content each week and the crawl is never above the 5000-6000 page mark, which means that it is under 10K which is the limit, so presumably everything is crawled in that one go so surely it should detect all of the dupe content on 1 crawl as opposed to having to do various crawls to detect it no? The dupe content report shows me pages that indeed have duplicate content but after checking, these are ranking on Google for their terms... ? Is the duplicate page content report incremental ? Will it add more duplicate content and increase the report every week or does it just show that week's results? If so, it's a bit like chasing my tail... Help!
