          Technical help required - please!
          In our Duplicate Content Pages Report I see a lot of duplicate pages that are created by one URL plus several versions of the same page with the dynamic content, for example,
          http://www.georgebrown.ca/immigranteducation/programs
          http://www.georgebrown.ca/school-program.aspx?id=1909&Sortid=Study

          http://www.georgebrown.ca/school-program.aspx?id=1909&Sortid=Title

          How do we solve it?

            Ektron CMS. Yah, will have to go with the noindex somehow.

              I don't know which CMS/framework you use but it's unlikely you can set canonical at template level.

                Oh!!! Just now realized a different problem with canonical.

                The same template is used with different URLs, for example, http://www.georgebrown.ca/immigranteducation/programs/ is the same template as http://www.georgebrown.ca/liberalarts/programs/, just with a different set of programs. We have 22 schools, each page creates 4 versions of itself (depending on the ordering of the programs).

                So there is no way to program ONE url on the template level. Do I understand that correct?

                  Moz doesn't pick, just signal the duplicate content. If you add the canonical Moz should understand and un flag it as duplicate.

                    1. I think I will go with a canonical tag.
                    2. I believe noindex will not work as this is a template used in multiple page.

                    3. Done that, but then MOZ reports them as duplicate content, which drives me crazy 🙂

                    4. Done that too. But don't know how to tell MOZ 🙂

                      • You can just add a canonical tag to signal google which version is the one to index.
                      • Or add meta "noidex"to the versions you do not want to be indexed.
                      • Or just do nothing and let google pick his preferred version for its index.
                      • Or you can teach google what those url parameter do and instruct him to do not index those versions.

                      I would programmatically add meta noindex.

                        Unsolved Next JS and Missing content

                        nextjs canonical title

                        Hello
                        We recently migrated our page to next JS which is supposed to be great for SEO
                        On almost all our pages we are getting the same errors Missing Canonical Tag Missing Title Missing or Invalid H1 Missing Description We don't understand this because we have all of that content on every page. We believe that maybe NextJs is having a incompatibility with Moz. Has anyone had any experience with this?

                        How to deal with auto generated pages on our site that are considered thin content

                        Hi there, Wondering how to deal w/ about 300+ pages on our site that are autogenerated & considered thin content. Here is an example of those pages: https://app.cobalt.io/ninp0 The pages are auto generated when a new security researcher joins our team & then filled by each researcher with specifics about their personal experience. Additionally, there is a fair amount of dynamic content on these pages that updates with certain activities. These pages are also getting marked as not having a canonical tag on them, however, they are technically different pages just w/ very similar elements. I'm not sure I would want to put a canonical tag on them as some of them have a decent page authority & I think could be contributing to our overall SEO health. Any ideas on how I should deal w/ this group of similar but not identical pages?

                        Pages with URL Too Long

                        Hello Mozzers! MOZ keeps kindly telling me the URLs are too long. However, this is largely due to the structure of E-commerce site, which has to include 'brand' 'range' and 'products' keyword. For example -
                        https://www.choicefurnituresuperstore.co.uk/Devonshire-Rustic-Oak-Bedside-Cabinet-1-Drawer-p40668.html MOZ recommends no more than 75 characters. This means we have 25-30 characters for both the brand name and product name. Questions:
                        If it is an issue, how to fix it on my site?
                        If it's not an issue, how can we turn off this alert from MOZ?
                        Anyone know how big an issue URLs are as a ranking factor? I thought pretty low.

                        How to resolve Duplicate Content crawl errors for Magento Login Page

                        I am using the Magento shopping cart, and 99% of my duplicate content errors come from the login page.  The URL looks like: http://www.site.com/customer/account/login/referer/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tbW1zcGVjaW9zYS5jb20vcmV2aWV3L3Byb2R1Y3QvbGlzdC9pZC8xOTYvY2F0ZWdvcnkvNC8jcmV2aWV3LWZvcm0%2C/ Or, the same url but with the long string different from the one above.  This link is available at the top of every page in my site, but I have made sure to add "rel=nofollow" as an attribute to the link in every case (it is done easily by modifying the header links template). Is there something else I should be doing?  Do I need to try to add canonical to the login page?  If so, does anyone know how to do it using XML?

                        Blogger Duplicate Content? and Canonical Tag

                        Hello: I previously asked this question, but I would love to get more perspectives on this issue. In Blogger, there is an archive page and label(s) page(s) created for each main post. Firstly, does Google, esp. considering Blogger is their product, possibly see the archive and tag pages created in addition to the main post as partial duplicate content? The other dilemma is that each of these instances - main post, archive, label(s) - claim to be the canonical. Does anyone have any insight or experience with this issue and Blogger and how Google is treating the partial duplicates and the canonical claims to the same content (even though the archives and label pages are partial?) I do not see anything in Blogger settings that allows altering these settings - in fact, the only choices in Blogger settings are 'Email Posting' and 'Permissions' (could it be that I cannot see the other setting options because I am a guest and not the blog owner?) Thanks so much everyone! PS - I was not able to add the blog as a campaign in SEOmoz Pro, which in and of itself is odd - and which I've never seen before - could this be part of the issue? Are Blogger free blogs not able to be crawled for some reason via SEOmoz Pro?
