AideRSS Analyze shows duplicate posts with different PostRanks
When I enter my blog URL, http://www.propr.ca, into the Analyze box, AideRSS reports duplicate entries for blog posts, sometimes with different PostRanks.
Is this a problem with my feed or with AideRSS' algorithm?

Inappropriate?Any chance for those posts that were duplicated that you published them, then went back, made edits, and re-published later?
I’m curious

Yes. There is a great chance that I did this. Why would this cause AideRSS to read it as two separate instances? Each post exists only once in my feed. -
We had that problem with someone else before -- re-publishing was causing creation of slightly different URLs, so I figured I'd check as step one of the investigative process. I have one of the guys looking at it currently.

Inappropriate?I recently purchased a domain name for my blog (previously tatasmagik.blogspot.com - now imnotbeautifullikeyou.com) and my Best Post widget started displaying duplicate content with different ranks. So, I reinstalled with the domain name. So far, so good.
For some reason, when I research AideRSS with my old name, I get higher Post Ranks than with my new domain name. I'm confused as to why the exact same content is returning like this?!

Hmm, definitely odd. Your latest post is appearing in the analysis for your old domain before your new one, too. I've asked one of the devs to take a look and will let you know once it's sorted out.

Inappropriate?It may be worth noting that blogspot.com is still hosting my content, just that it has a domain name now (through GoDaddy, if that makes any difference). I just don't understand why my Post Ranks are different - especially since the new stuff is getting lower ranks. ??? Very strange.1 Comment Add a comment

Ok, so what's going on here is that the system "sees" these are two separate blogs, so what happens is the content is still published to Blogspot, and then after comes through on the new domain. The difference in rankings in that the old URL has more time to gather engagement than the new URL, and also it's more established and has more history. So for now, the new domain will always be playing "catch up" to the original URL. If you like, we can remove the old Blogspot URL from our system, and then all the analysis will be done for your new URL.

Inappropriate?Hi Joe -- Ok, we've cleaned up your feed, and what appears to be occurring is that if posts get edited/re-published it's generating a new, slightly different URL for them, hence the duplicates appearing. (I suspect this is something your software is doing on its own.) Out of curiosity, what CMS/blogging platform do you use? Also, have you upgraded recently?
As noted, we've seen this once before, and we will be updating our system to handle URLS in a more sophisticated fashion, so it will detect things like this and won't publish duplicates.
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?Thanks for finding out what was going on, Melanie. If it isn't too much trouble, I'd appreciate if you could remove the blogspot URL. If it *is* a lot of trouble, then don't worry about it :) I'm just grateful to understand what the fark is going on!
I’m satisfied

No trouble at all. It's gone. (Of course, if you go check for it, it'll get re-added.) :) Now the site/feed points only to the new URL. Let me know if you see any additional quirks.
