      Hi there,

      I am not sure if I am missing on something but the moz crawls are rather confusing. After singing in I have received 11 emails with crawls and today I have received again new,

      When I go to check there to the dashboard it shows 26 pages with issues. When I scroll down I see the pages with issue. Then when I click on the first page listed, to view the issues it says this:

      Rel Canonical
      Using rel=canonical suggests to search engines which URL should be seen as canonical. For this site: http://villasdiani.com/ but we have sorted out the canonical issues a long time ago. Is this a wrong information or is it really true that we do not specify the canonical for our site?

      Then the second page with issue is there listed http://villasdiani.com/beach-villas/ and it says:

      Duplicate Page Title
      You should use unique titles for your different pages to ensure that they describe each page uniquely and don't compete with each other for keyword relevance.

      But it does not point out which page is duplicate with this one! I do not have any other page named the same way.

      It also says in Issues overview 26pages with issues, but it shows on the bottom only 5 under and when I click on view more it brings me to high priority issues where is 0.

      The most is freaking me out this report:

      When I click on links, there are listed on the bottom the pages with highest authority among which I found this http://villasdiani.com/db  I have never created this kind of page! Funny enough when I click on it it really open that page! How this can be???

      In issues overview it also shows on the bottom, right corner 11 page with duplicate content but when I click on it to review it it brings me to high priority issues windows where is not displayed anything

      Can somebody advice me regarding of this. I have sign up here to learn and sort out the problems with the site but so far I am only getting more confused here.

      Thank you very much for looking into this.

        Hi Iris

        Rel CanonicalThat 26 issues related with rel=canonical not neccasarily an issue like problem it can be recognition like there is a rel=canonical exists. Basicly moz mentions there is that tag involved with that pages.

        Duplicate Page Title

        Yeah u dont have a duplicated url(as u mentioned it never been created) but u have duplicated page titles related with that page. here is the list of them same title Kenya Luxury....  Pool

          Thank you very much for your time and looking into this.

          I am very sorry but I am not sure if I understand you correctly:-(  Perhaps you are using some translator? I have noticed you are from Czech republic, you can talk to me in Czech language, I speak this language very well.

          As regarding of the duplicate page titles, how this can be duplicate???

          http://villasdiani.com/rentals/beach-villas/

          http://villasdiani.com/rentals/beach-villas/page/2/

          http://villasdiani.com/rentals/beach-villas/page/3/

          It is a category with properties and it has 3 pages?? how can I avoid to this?

          Also as regarding of the weird link-the db page i just pasted a wrong link, crawl shows me that this one our most important pages:http://villasdiani.com/?db

          What do you mean  that url site map is failing for a dns lookup??? Oh my god what I have screwd up? How can I fix it? I am using yoast seo plugin.

          /sitemap_index.xml

          Thank you very much Frutiko (Hodne dekuji)
