Duplicate titles issue
-
Hi,
For the second week in a row MOZ is finding duplicate titles crawling my website.
But as you see in the attached screenshot it doesn't seem it's a clear duplicate title thing, as it's mainly due to the different pages having the same title.
What should I do? Is it really affecting my SERP positioning? -
Hi Alessia,
While you could say these are duplicates (as Igor said), I don't think Moz should be reporting these as duplicates because they are not an issue as they are handled with hreflang and pagination - and won't actually cause you any problems.
However, I would update your Italian pages to use Italian titles. They seem to be in Italian everywhere except the title - this will be important for you to get Italian traffic to your site.
There is also a small issue with your hreflang implementation where you are only specifying a language. You must specify a language and a country for hreflang to validate.
Cheers,
David

Great, thanks. But how do I change that from my WP dashboard?

This is exactly what duplicate title means, not that it copies someone else's title, but that you have several pages with identical titles. You must create unique titles for your pages, or use canonical tag if you must use identical titles.
Otherwise, search engines will see that your website has a bunch of pages with identical content.

We recently switched from HTTP to HTTPS and we are having crawling issues!
We switched our website from HTTP to HTTPS and we started to get an email from Moz about the robots.txt being unable to crawl our website. The website is hosted through wordpress but we haven't had any issues until we switched. We have no idea what to do or even what the problem is! If you have had a similar problem and fixed it, we need your help! Thank you.

How do I interpret Duplicate Content in a Crawl Report, when it only gives me a URL? How do I know what is duplicated on that page somewhere else?
I need help interpreting the Crawl Report for Duplicate Content. It gives me the URLs of pages that have duplicate content, but how do I know what content exactly is duplicated elsewhere? And how do I figure out where it is duplicated? Also, are there Moz Analytics articles or videos teaching you how to use each component of the analytics programs? Thanks!

Adding a campaign freezes in first step, any tips on how to resolve this issue?
I just subscribed to the 30 days trial and wanted to set up my first campaign, but it just doesn't work. I name the campaign, enter the URL and click Next >>. The page starts processing but even after 5 minutes waiting time, nothing happens. I just don't get through to the 2nd step. I already tried setting it up in Firefox, Chrome and Opera. It just won't work. 😕
