HOW DOES MOZ FILTER ISSUES ON WEBSITES?

[chamberlinksales2]

Good day

My company is trying moz for the first, and I am their web developer, I looked through the moz report and found something confusing when checking the issues.

For example, I have URL:https://www.cham-training.co.za/free-skills-development-assessment.php

and the mentioned URL can have parameters as follows:

1. https://www.cham-training.co.za/free-skills-development-assessment.php?target=Internship

2. https://www.cham-training.co.za/free-skills-development-assessment.php?target=Learnership

the target parameter is just used to hold a value regarding the clients actual request, learnership, internship etc.  However moz seem to recognize the same link with different parameters as different links and this makes the issue count to go up.  For me, then this becomes false report. Please take a look at the attached image for reference.

I got issues regarding duplicate title, but the truth is there's no duplicate titles its just that moz picks up the page as different because of the url parameters. Can someone please clarify why is that so or if there's any reason moz does that.

I hope to hear from you guys soon.

Thank you

It's because the search engines actually treat every parameter based version of your URL as a separate page, so it really does look like duplicate content to the search engine. So Moz is crawling them in the same way.  This is informative for you. In your case, you have canonical tags back to the version with the query string, which would be the fix for you anyway.
