301 Redirects detected as duplicates
-
I have 19 pages that are all 301 redirected to the same page.
Moz is detected these 19 pages a duplication's of each other.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Hey Nina, sorry your crawl data is looking a bit off.
We don't count 301 redirects in the duplicate content, so it may be that these pages were not yet redirected when we crawled or that they are responding differently to our crawler than they would in a browser. However, it is difficult for me to say without looking into the pages directly. Can you please let me know which campaign you are seeing this on so that I can investigate further?
If you prefer not to mention the campaign name in this public forum, you can email [email protected] directly or use the contact form here: https://mza.seotoolninja.com/help/contact/pro. You can just mention that you are replying to Chiaryn in your message and it will make its way directly to me.
I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Unsolved Mistake on keyword stuffing detection(in my view)
Hello!
Moz Bar | | Seoman45
In Mozbar, optimization factors
"Avoid Keyword Stuffing in Document"
If a blog (or any other page) publishes an article, and that article attracts a considerable number of questions, it is inevitable to prevent repeating the keyword on that page. In other words, using keywords by users in comments should not be considered as "Keyword Stuffing". In my view, if this is true, you need to optimize the detection of "Keyword Stuffing".
By the way, thanks for the valuable service and tools for SEO.
Best regards,

Many Duplicate Content Flags
Not sure about you all, but I’m loving the new Moz Site Crawler. However, I was noticing that it is identifying a huge amount of pages as duplicate content. There are about 30,000 pages in this website, with that said we’ve had to make many templates to make the site scalable. Additionally a url rule was lost which caused a significant amount of duplicate pages to be created. I am working through using the moz crawl tool to identify duplicate pages but noticing many pages under “Affected Pages,” are actually unique content pages with initial content that is duplicate. I read that Moz flags any pages with 90% or more content overlapping content or code. My theory for this is that some templates that are too similar, to the point that Moz reads them as duplicative. Has this happened for anyone else? In addition, if Moz is flagging these similar pages as duplicate content, do we surmise that Google bots are having the same issue? We have seen issues with rankings as it pertains to the actual duplicate pages but hadn't experienced issues across the unique pages, they are hyperlocal pages so we are able to see rankings quite easily.

How can I find duplicate pages from a Moz Crawl?
We have many duplicate pages that show up on the Moz Crawl, and we're trying to fix these but it's very difficult because I can't see a way to isolate the code where the duplicate is found. For instance, http://experiencemission.org/immersion/ is one of our main pages, and the crawl shows one duplicate of http://experiencemission.org/immersion. It appears that one of our staff manually edited the source code in one of our pages but forgot the trailing slash. This would be an easy fix but the problem is that this page is linked to internally on our website 2423 times, so it's next to impossible to find the code that is incorrect. We have many other pages with this same basic problem. We know we have duplicates, but it's next to impossible to isolate them. So my question is this: When viewing the Moz Crawl data is there any way to see where a specific duplicate page link is located on our website? Thanks for any and all help!

Duplicate Content on Website with Multiple Locations
Hi there, I've spent hours reading posts on duplicate content and googling this but I'm still not sure what to do. We created a site that has two WP installs for a company with two different locations - the landing page is website.com and links to WP install 1 (website.com/city1), and WP install 2 (website.com/city2). They specifically wanted two different sites so they could be managed by staff at either location. However some of the pages have the same content - ie. services, policies, etc. so all of those are showing errors for duplicate content. All pages have different city-specific URL's and meta-descriptions but that clearly doesn't help. We can't redirect the "duplicate" pages because then it would take the user to the other city's specific site. Is there anything we can do?? Is this going to significantly damage rankings? Thanks kindly for any help you can provide.

What is Considered Duplicate Content by Crawlers?
I am asking this because I have a couple of site audit tools that I use to crawl a site I work on every week and they are showing duplicate content issues (which I know there is a lot on this site) but some of what is flagged as duplicate content makes no sense. For example, the following URL's were grouped together as duplicate content: | https://www.firefold.com/contact-us | https://www.firefold.com/gabe | https://www.firefold.com/sale | | | How are these pages duplicate content? I am confused on what site audit tools are considering duplicate content. Just FYI, this is data from Moz crawl diagnostics but SEMrush site auditor is giving me the same type of data. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ryan

Moz Crawler URL paramaters & duplicate content
Hi all, this is my first post on Moz Q&A 🙂 Questions: Does the Moz Crawler take into account rel="canonical" for search results pages with sorting / filtering URL parameters? How much time does it take for an issue to disappear from the issues list after it's been corrected? Does it come op in the next weekly report? I'm asking because the crawler is reporting 50k+ pages crawled, when in reality, this number should be closer to 1000. All pages with query parameters have the correct canonical tag pointing to the root URL, so I'm wondering whether I need to noindex the other pages for the crawler to report correct data?: Original (canonical URL): DOMAIN.COM/charters/search/mx/BS?search_location=cabo-san-lucas Filter active URL: DOMAIN.COM/charters/search/mx/BS?search_location=cabo-san-lucas&booking_date=&booking_days=1&booking_persons=1&priceFilter%5B%5D=0%2C500&includedPriceFilter%5B%5D=drinks-soft Also, if noindex is the only solution, will it impact the ranking of the pages involved? Note: Google and Bing are semi-successful in reporting index page count, each reporting around 2.5k result pages when using the site:DOMAIN.com query. The rel canonical tag was missing for a short period of time about 4 weeks ago, but since fixing the issue these pages still haven't been deindexed. Appreciate any suggestions regarding Moz Crawler & Google / Bing index count!

OnPage Reports - Duplicate titles and meta descriptions
Hi Moz, I know you guys changed your interface awhile back but I have a question about the new reports. On the old interface, I used to use a report that would automatically run when I created a new account letting me know where the dup titles and meta descriptions were on an entire site. Where can I find this report on the new interface? Thanks Carla
