90% of our sites that are designed are in wordpress and the report brings up "duplicate" content errors. I presume this is down to a conical error?

We are looking at getting the Agency version of SEOMoz and are based in the UK

Could you please tell me what would be the best way to correct this issue as this appears to be a problem with all our clients websites.

an example would be www.fsgenergy.co.uk

Would you also be able to suggest the best SEO plugin to use with SEOMOz ?

Many thanks Paul

Paul-  Best SEO plugin for Wordpress is WP SEO Yoast.  hands down the best...provides the xml site map, page analysis , webmaster tools verification, social media connectivity and the list goes on and on. We have tried 5-6 others and keep coming back to this plug in.

Duplicate content errors could be due to a variety of issues.....when you converted to new wordpress is might be content that wasn't linked properly....could be a redirect issue that was created; (if it is a redirect issue you can use a WP plug in called "redirection"). Great tool to manage your 301 and del canonical issues and to identity your 4xx errors.  You need to sound the time and identify where the supplicate content is and redirect or eliminate or no follow with robot txt.

Hope this helps...please give me the thumbs up if this answers your question!

Yeah, I'm not a WP expert at all, but we generally hear good things about Joost's plug-in (http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/). All in One SEO Pack is the other popular one (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/).  I think they both serve slightly different niches, and you do have to know how to use them. WordPress can be great, but the default installation can have some SEO issues.

I see this quite a bit on my less content filled wordpress blogs.

If you have categories A and B and one post that fall under both categories crawlers see it like this.

Category A: Post 1

Category B: Post 1

In addition to the permalink for the post.  You can get the same problem with tags as well.

So there are multiple ways to see the same posts, which means duplicate posting.  Once more content gets added the category pages will look different so that tends to sort itself out over time.  Just explaining where it comes from.

I personally like SEO Ultimate but it doesn't quite solve this problem as I still see it on my sites at the beginning.  An easy fix would be to change your robots.txt to nofollow all category/tags.
