      Hi all,

      I am using Moz Crawl to analyze some sites I am having to optimize.
      I keep seeing many of my pages detected as duplicate content when they have the rel=canonical applied.

      Example: www.spain-internship.com/zh-CN/blog-by-aaron
      I have seen that in other sites.

      Of course I understand that Moz is not perfect but, is there a known issue or am I doing something wrong with the canonicals?

      Regards,

        I'm getting the following error on your example -

        Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /home/rwbahqam/public_html/spain-internship/plugins/system/redj/redj.php on line 694

        Have you given Moz enough time to (re)crawl the urls? If you do a q quick search you will find others with similar problems. Common issues can be making sure the tag is correct (going to the right URL). You may find this one the best for you - http://moz.com/community/q/crwal-errors-duplicate-content-even-with-canonical-links

            Would you mind letting me know how much time was between these crawl tests? Typically you'll want to wait at least 48 hours between the tests. If it is persistent feel free to let us know via help@moz.com or updating the post here.

              Hi James,

              Sorry for the delay in the answer. The canonical was applied previously first time I did the crawling and now it is done once a week. I will review this week crawl and let you know if it keeps appearing. It should remain the same as I did not make changes.

              Regards,

              • Moz was unable to crawl your site on Jun 22, 2020\. We were unable to access your site due to a page timeout on your robots.txt, which prevented us from crawling the rest of your site.
