      I'm using Moz's Crawl Diagnostics to try and clean up some SEO priorities for our website (http://www.craftcompany.co.uk) HOWEVER, virtually all of the pages that are being categorised as duplicate content are not the same, or indeed similar.

      For instance, these three pages have been deemed duplicated pages;

      • http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/pme-rose-leaf-veined-plunger.html
      • http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/double-faced-satin-ribbon-black-25mm-wide.html
      • http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/double-faced-satin-maroon-10mm-wide-25mt.html

      Can anyone give me an insight into why this is?

      Many Thanks!

        Hi there

        I want to say that it may have to do with your canonical tags. For instance...

        http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/pme-rose-leaf-veined-plunger.html has a canonical tag for http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/pme-rose-leaf-veined-plunger.html

        But, if you use http://craftcompany.co.uk/pme-rose-leaf-veined-plunger.html has a canonical tag for http://www.craftcompany.co.uk/pme-rose-leaf-veined-plunger.html?SID=1c501bb25ab64ab687f30b714dee9969

        Your non www. URLs seem to have a SID parameter attached to their canonical tags.

        I would check out Google's resource on duplicate content. There are links to help you clean these up. I am not saying that's the reason, but I would definitely clean those URLs up in canonical tags.

        Hope this helps! Good luck!
