How to read Crawler downloaded report

[nonlinearcreations]

I am trying to seperate the duplicate title and description URLs, by looking at the report i am not getting how to find all urls which contain same title and description. Is there any video link on the site which walk me through each part of the report.

Thanks,

Punam

Punam-

If you use the download csv feature and it drops it into excel you will need to look for column "M" and "O". This will tell you "URLs with duplicate content" and "URL's with duplicate title tags". Just sort by these columns first...then sort by the URL in column A and you will know which pages you need to make a change on.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Mark, but to find out what is that title and common to how many pages, i mean as in Google webmaster tools i can see duplicate title or description or content report like:

<title>Duplicate Title 1</title>

URL1

URL2

URL3

<title>Duplicate Title 2</title>

URL1

URL2

URL3

this way i can see what is the actual title and which URL needs to be worked on. same way i can t seperate out the duplicate content report, e.g as i can see in summary that these 4 pages having duplicate content like in groups.

Thanks again,

Punam

Howdy,

If you click on the number listed in the "Other URLs" column, you'll land on the report that contains the other URLs with the same issue (duplicate title or duplicate content)

Here's a screenshot of where to click https://skitch.com/cyrusshepard/eyc9s/duplicate-page-title-free-advice-root-crawl-includes-subdomains-seomoz-pro

Unfortunately, the report is usually limited to only 5 URLs, and the CSV may not list everything for you either.

The good news is that these are generally caused by repeating problems and there is generally a pattern you can discern. Once you fix one duplicate content/title tag error, you often fix the rest.

Oh, and here's a video overview of the Crawl Diagnostics tab.

Hope that helps. Best of luck.
