      We launched a site where key landing pages were not showing up in google.

      After running the seomoz crawl it returned a lot of duplicate pages which may expalin this.

      The actual url of the page is /design and it was telling me the following were dupes:

      /design/family-garden-design
      /design/small-garden-design
      /design/large-rural-garden-design
      /Design

      All of these URL's were in fact pointing to the /design landing page.

      I 301 redirected all of the pages so they all now resolve to /design

      After running another crawl the day after doing this it's still showing up as duplicate content on seomoz. Does seomoz evaluate the new changes right away?

        It generally takes about a week for our crawlers to recrawl your site and process the data. You can find the date of the last and next crawl in your campaign, in your campaign overview.

        • To avoid the duplicate content issue I have created new urls for that specific site I am posting to and redirecting that url to the original on my site. Is this the right way to do it?

        • Would it be bad to change the canonical URL to the most recent page that has duplicate content, or should we just 301 redirect to the new page?
