We use DNN and we have case studies ran from our CMS. This is so we can have them in lists by category on service/market pages and show specific ones when needed. Then there is the case study detail page, (this is where the problem exists)to where you read out the case study in full detail and see the images and story.

We enter our Case Studies into the CMS and this determines which website they show, and it creates URLs from the titles. However, on the detail page, the case studies all share the same page, Case Study.aspx, and they resolve to that page with their respected URLs in place. As seen here, http://www.structural.net/case-study/1/new-marlins-stadium.aspx

Because they all share the same page they are being pulled as duplicate pages. They do show in the SERPS with the right title and URL and it all looks great, but they get errors for having duplicate page content and titles. Is there a way to solve this, or is this something I should even worry about?

I'm having a hard time understanding the issue. What crawler is finding CaseStudy.aspx? Don't see it in the Google index, and Xenu didn't find it. If it's just the SEOMoz crawler finding the file, what particular URLs are being tagged as dupes?

[KJ-Rodgers]

well all of the case studies resolve to the same page, in this example the root page is /viewCaseStudy. Yet when you click on a case study,  the page name and url is dynamically driven to be the case study's title (i.e. Electro-Chemical-Dewatering-System.aspx)The dynamic titles are being indexed as we would want, but Only Place that is flagging this so far is SEOMoz. Webmaster tools does include this in the HTML Suggestions as duplicate meta descriptions.

Here are two examples of the case studies. They share the same page shell, (only visible to admin so I can change the design) but the code in place writes these to resolve as seen to users.

Hmm, well I honestly don't know how to correct that kind of an issue. I know DNN is the cause of a lot of my tech-SEO headaches. Sorry!
