Unfortunately, Vikash, I'm not aware of any way to correct the duplicate content issues you're having on wordpress.com. It's one of the severe limitations I was referring to that makes me recommend against using wp.com for business sites.
On a regular, self-hosted WordPress site, this kind of issue is very easily addressed using specific SEO plugins designed just for this purpose.
Sorry not to have better news.
Paul
P.S. Re: using the QA forum - when you create a question, there is a check box to tell the system to notify you by email each time someone answers your question. Even if you don't set that, there is also a small email envelope icon (beside the red flag icon) in the question box once your question has been published. Clicking on that when logged in will also allow you to request email notification of any responses as well.

Hei Paul,
First of all, apologies for a delayed response as I am very new to the Moz and the QA forum, i have no clue how things work. I had no clue about the valuable information you shared with me about self hosting and I saw it while I came up with another issue!! So thanks a ton for the valuable information ! your suggestions actually make me think its time I change over as I already have too many things to transfer !
If you could assist regarding one more thing , it would be kind of you ! How do i fix the errors - the duplicate contents and other issues which have piled up to over 1200 and I have no clue how to fix them being hosted on wordpress.com. ?
Thanks and Regards
Vikash

Just one quick thing, Vikash. i fully understand that you're just diving into this area, but I want to warn you that if you start with a hosted WordPress.com site and eventually build up business value in it, it's actually a huge amount of work to transfer the business value of that site to a self hosted version of WordPress in the future.
If this site is a serious start towards building an online business presence, I would strongly recommend you seriously consider doing it on a self-hosted version of WordPress instead. It will save you a massive amount of work down the line. It will also give you significantly more flexibility in the near term as you start optimizing your business site.
On the other hand, if the site is just an experiment for when you will build your next real site, WordPress.com is a reasonable place to start.
I've just encountered far too many people who started a business site on WordPress.com, only to later find they practically had to restart from scratch when it's limitations became too great for their business.
Just something to think about.

Thanks a ton... for the explanation Paul ... You answered not only the question I asked but also the one which would have been following right after !!

Why don't you have a standalone wordpress hosted site. More flexibility. Your not limited then.

Adding Google Analytics to your SEOMoz reports is just a nice add-on. Not implementing it will have not effect on your SEOMoz reports, it just means the Analytics data can't be automatically included.
It is pretty tough to do good SEO without a strong analytics foundation for your site though, which is one of the big drawbacks to a WordPress.com site, especially for business. In addition, you can't install any of the SEO plugins that allow for the kinds of customizations you may want/need.
But short answer - no, not being able to add Google Analytics will have no effect on THE SEOMoz tool itself.
Hope that helps?
Paul

Not sure if it will help, I'd debate whether I would use it really, but you could use the CloudFlare apps. Never done it myself though...

Is There a Tool to Link Moz Keyword Rankings With Google Adwords Campaigns?
I wanted to know if there is a tool or other way to automatically link my Moz keyword rankings with my Google Adwords account for the purpose of allowing me to "pause" Adwords campaigns for keywords for which I rank well in the SERP's and to "activate" Adwords for keywords for which I do not rank well. Since these rankings can change from week to week, it would be great to be able to turn on and off Adwords for specific keywords depending upon my rankings that week.

Can I setup SEOmoz PRO's 3 organic traffic metrics within Google Analytics (as custom reports)?
I like the 3 organic traffic metrics in SEOmoz PRO: 1) Organic Search Visits
Moz Pro | | AndreVanKets
2) URLs Receiving Entrances Via Search
3) Non-Paid Keywords Sending Search Visits They rock - especially for a high-level view of SEO / Organic performance. Is it possible to setup these metrics as custom reports directly in Analytics? Does anyone have these reports setup? Or maybe there are similar custom reports that give a similar high-level view?0 -
