      Hi All

      Moz is telling me I have duplicate page content and sure enough the PA MR mT are all 0 but it doesnt give me a link to this content!

      This is the page:

      http://www.orsgroup.com/index.php?page=Scanning-services

      But I cant find where the duplicate content is other than on our own youtube page which I will get removed here:

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pnjh9jkAWuA

      Can anyone help please?

      Andy

        Copyscape throws the same up as you have there - your YouTube page.

        Perhaps consider a revision of this on YouTube?

          Thanks Andy - Its hard to tell if Moz is saying "theres a page on your domain" that is a problem or just generally there is a page out there on the web that is a problem. Seems daft if they know about it, why not tell me on the report?

          Actually Moz - take note - good improvement could be made here ! 🙂

              Hi,

              I am pretty sure moz only flags duplicate content on your own site and you should be able to find out what page it is referring to by downloading the csv of your crawl data, filter for duplicate content = true in the relevant column and then look on the far right hand side, the 'duplicate page content 2' column should give you the other page that is flagging this.

                The page is listed in my sitemap.xml twice, I have no idea why! But I think that is where its getting it from.....

                Probably just manually edit the sitemap and remove the 2nd entry?

                  HI,

                  Put your site though screaming frog and it shows you are linking to that page in a couple of places with a lower case s 'scanning-services', I would think that is the issue that the crawl is flagging. Screaming frog mentions 3 instances of the lower case link so perhaps the sitemap was one and a couple of others hidden away in the page texts somewhere? Find and correct those capitalization mismatches and you should be good!

                    Sorted(I think) used screaming frog and identified a few caps issues, all looks ok now

                    Thanks for all the help
