RSS feed showing up as duplicate content

[pugh]

Hi,

I've just run an SEOMOZ Pro scan for the first time and it is picking up duplicate content errors from the RSS feed. For some reason it seems to be picking up two feeds, for example:

http://blog.clove.co.uk/2009/05/13/htc-touch-diamond2-review/feed/

http://blog.clove.co.uk/2009/05/19/htc-touch-diamond2-review-2/feed/

Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can resolve this?

Thanks

Usually 2 feeds happen if you're calling the feed to be created twice in the page's code. I took a quick look at your page's code, and I didn't see anything odd. Are you having the same problem with other pages?

This could be a plug-in issue with the latest Wordpress upgrades. Have you upgraded everything?

A quick fix would be to block robots.txt from crawling one of the feeds.

Firstly, good on you for the great content - I enjoyed reading the reviews!  Regarding your question, the 2 feeds are almost exactly duplicate other than the URLs.

Dupe content from the feeds that might be causing the issue:

1. <title></span><span class="text">Comments on: HTC Touch Diamond2 Review</span><span></title>
2. The smartphone specialists who care!

As I assume the this: http://blog.clove.co.uk/2009/05/19/htc-touch-diamond2-review-2 is the second review. Try modifying the title and meta description on your back end and it should auto update the feed on the review-2 page.

Assuming you're on Wordpress If not, just modify the contents of the review-2 feed and run another scan,
