: Why does Webmaster tools show duplicate Meta Descriptions for correctly redirected pages? I have two pages that show up as having duplicate meta descriptions (and duplicate title tags) on my website.
I have two pages that show up as having duplicate meta descriptions (and duplicate title tags) on my website.
However, these are old links to a page that has moved location twice so they both redirect to the new location:
UrlA created.
(Some months later) UrlA moved to UrlB. UrlA now redirects to UrlB
(Some months later again) UrlB moved to UrlC. UrlA and UrlB now redirect to UrlC
When I inspect the traffic using fiddler it correctly responds with a 301 and the url is redirected to the new page so I don't understand why Google thinks this is a duplicate.
I have done the same thing with other pages and these do not show up as duplicates.
As requested the urls in question are:
UrlA - /TimeandAttendance/CaptureIT.aspx
UrlB - /TimeandAttendance/CaptureITTimeandAttendanceSystem/CaptureITITSpecification.aspx
UrlC - /recording-software-system.aspx

First of all I would like to ask you that why are you using redirection again and again? This is a very bad practice in the eye of Google. May be Google needs some time to understand what is the actual page you want to rank for. When all the link juice will transfer to urlC from urlA and urlB, may be the issue will be resolved.

I hope this will help you.
