      My pages says it has 16 errors, and all of them are due to duplicate content. How do I fix this? I believe its only due to my meta tag description.

        My advice would be to dive deep into the campaign that you have running for your page and check to see what is causing the issue. It could be that your URL isn't refined resulting in there being a copy for the page for each URL variation. This can be solved a few different ways but unfortunately I am not quite sure what the problem is that is causing the duplicate content with the information you have provided. Dr. Pete has put together a fantastic Duplicate Content Guide I would recommend checking out . He goes over each variation and some great ways to deal with duplicate content issues.

          Hi Gajendra,

          The Pro App identifies two types of duplicate Errors (the red button in your Crawl Diagnostics Summary). These are Duplicate Page Content **(**a significant amount of content on the page has been identified as duplicate) and Duplicate Page Title (page title only has been identified as duplicate).

          Duplicate Page Title errors are most often an internal issue, where many pages in the site have been given the same page title.

          Duplicate Page Content errors can be either an internal and/or external issue. It may be that identical pages within the site are visible via multiple URL's, AND/OR the content on pages may be a duplicate of content on other websites. This happens a lot with sites that use product descriptions, content feeds etc from other sites.

          To identify the actual URLs where duplicated content has been detected, click the Red error button in the Diagnostics Summary and you will see a list of pages where the error has been identified. In the second column, you will see a blue link which tells you how many duplicates there are for that particular item. When you click the link you will see a full list of URLs which are duplicates.

          There are a number of things which can cause duplicate content errors on a site - many are due to the way the site is structured or functions. To really understand what is happening and how to deal with it, you should read Dr Pete Meyers' landmark post Duplicate Content in a Post-Panda World.

          Hope that helps,

          Sha
