Welcome to the Q&A Forum

It does make sense. Based on what you wrote, ours is not set up correctly. But now I have the language to better work with our provider.

You are very helpful!! Thank you!

Thanks so much, Paul!!

The SEO Moz helpdesk is who told me that I needed to have oursitename.com in addition to www.oursitename.com. Is this true? Creating oursitename.com and the redirect seems to have caused a lot of errors, mostly duplicates from the redirect probably not being done correctly. But overall, was/is it in our best interest to have both www.oursitename.com and oursitename.com?

Thanks again!! One more question if you don't mind. If the 301 redirect is done correctly will this fix the competition issue in all the search engines? If not, should I get rid of oursitename.com?

I thought they were the same...with a 301 redirect from oursitename to www.oursitename.com so I am confused as to why one would have more inbound links than the other.  Also, what is WMT?

Thanks!!!

I currently run our crawl on oursitename.com, but am wondering if it should be run on www.oursitename.com instead.

Hi Irving!

Thank you so much for the informative reply. I was told that the sites were redirected with a 301, but apparently not, and I am checking with our provider again. I do have thress questions if you have the time. If I don't have a 301 redirect set up and have another kind, should I get a message in the Temp Redirect section of the SEO Moz crawl report? 2. If we do a 301, will that get rid of these duplicate page content and duplicate title content errors?  3. Do you have your site set up with a non-www redirect to www and have you avoided thes errors?  Thanks so much!!

I was told by SEO Moz to do a redirect so that our website would be crawled with and without the www in front of the address. I did and now I'm getting duplicate page and title errors because the crawler is seeing www.oursitename.com and its underpages and oursitename.com and its underpages and giving me duplicate page content errors and duplicate page title errors. Makes sense, but how do I make it stop? Anyone else have this problem?

Hello,

Are both the tools you mention in the last paragraph above Google Analytics items that require Web Master Tools to be installed?

Thanks!

Please excuse my typos. It was a little hard typing in the dotted box.

II'm a little confused by how the SEO Moz keywords relate to our page keywords. Should all the keywords we put in SEO Moz be in our page keywords? Can our SEO Moz keywords span the kepywords of severla pages or do we need ot tighten up and only use 5 for example keywords in SEO Moz and on our pages?

Thanks!
