Is SEOmoz.org creating duplicate content with their CDN subdomain?

[irvingw]

Example URL:

http://cdn.seomoz.org/q/help-with-getting-no-conversions

Canonical is a RELATIVE link, should be an absolute link pointing to main domain: http://www.seomoz.org/q/help-with-getting-no-conversions

<link href='[/q/help-with-getting-no-conversions](view-source:http://cdn.seomoz.org/q/help-with-getting-no-conversions)' rel='<a class="attribute-value">canonical</a>' /> 

13,400 pages indexed in Google under cdn subdomain

go to google   >  site:http://cdn.seomoz.org

Yep, looks like a big problem.

The good thing though is Google has gotten better at picking up structure problems like this ...those extra pages haven't impacted moz adversely.   If you do a title search, they don't show the cdn version.

But still, it's a simple fix.  They probably have got loads of WMT alerts about Duplicate Titles under HTML improvements.

Maybe SEOMoz will be so kind to give me my free t-shirt before I hit 1000 SEOMoz  points. I can just see myself wearing it so proudly!

Hey Irving!

Good catch! Turns out that my Web Team knows about it too and are working on it!

Only cause you said you'd wear it proudly, send me your info to Help@seomoz.org with ATTN: JOEL in the subject and I'll see if I can't scrounge up a shirt for you.:)

Cheers,
Joel.
