Wrong duplicated page content

[Amadeus_eBC]

I found out that some errors on my website are considered as "duplicated page content"  while they are not, the content is different on each page.

I wonder why ?

Is it an issue from Seomoz ?

You might have a duplicate content issue. You will want to check if you have the proper 301 redirect and a canonical command in the head of your code. If you don't have this set properly then the search engines will see the www and non-www versions of your site as duplicate. Also remember that the search engines also by default place this at the end of the url /

Here are two links that can help if this is the issue.

Maybe I did not explain well enough.

What I mean't is that Seomoz considers certain pages as identical  but they're not the same at all when I explore the link. The content is completely different like apples and oranges.

Can you provide a link to your site?

When Roger crawls, he looks for similarity in code as well as the content a user sees. If you have an ecommerce site that sells apples and oranges, but only has two sentences describing each, and 95% of the code between the two pages is the same, Roger's going to say those pages look alike to him, even if they look different to a user.

I'm sorry I can't give you the link to this website because it's one of my customer's.

Thank you for your answer Keri, it's been helpful, I'll try to fix the issue.
