I don't get what a dynamic URL is?
-
I have a whole bunch of them and I have no idea how I created them. I just make titles, that's it. Nothin' fancy.

Hi
Nice photos by the way
How do you arrive at the pages with the dynamic URLs? Try signing out of WordPress and viewing the site while not logged in.
You have the canonical tag in place, so honestly, there is no duplicate content issue. I'm just curious how you discovered the different URLs? That's not usually something a normal user browsing the site will see, at least not what I've seen with WordPress anyway.

EDIT: It just occurred to me, you probably found these URLs in the SEOmoz campaign tools?

I don't know how they're creating themselves? It's like 1 post has several of them?!
Cindy and Jeff’s Wonderful White, Yellow and Silver Beach Wedding
Slideshow « Cindy and Jeff’s Wonderful White, Yellow and Silver Beach Wedding
Cindy and Jeff’s Wonderful White, Yellow and Silver Beach Wedding
(etc etc.)
And btw... I don't intentionally have a slideshow set up, but I do have Next Gen on my site?

A dynamic URL usually has something called a query string. In your URL, it's everything after the ? and is typically used to pass data to a programming language.
Some sites use mod_rewrite to change them to look less program related
It's important to note that ANY change in the query string will make Google see that page as distinct, even if there's nothing else different. If you have an issue with this type of duplication you should use canonical to narrow down your pages to just those with distinct content.
If you're adding titles (like to a Wordpress blog) it's possible that you're creating pages and your CMS program makes URLs based on titles
domain.com/blog/the-best-blog-topic-ever
Is that what you're referring to?

Google Webmaster Tools and Open Site explorer's links not matching up
My question is why do my GWT's links not match up to the ones on Open Site Explorer. I watched John Mueller's video, and he said that they had problems with the link counts recently. After checking my links today, I can see that the problem is fixed, but my link count differs from Open Site Explorer. On Web Master Tools I have 307 links, but on Open Site Explore I have 42. Has anyone dealt with this problem? thanks. Peter

Duplicate page reported in Wordpress site, but I can't find it in All Pages list
In a crawl report a duplicate page content warning has been displayed. The two urls are 1. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop
Moz Pro | | Andyfools
and
2. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/ It's a WordPress site and I cannot find the second page anywhere in the list of All Pages in the Admin (I want to add canonicalisation code) When I view the 2nd page and click Edit Page, it redirects to the 1st page. Any ideas where SEOMoz would be finding this 2nd page or how it might be being generated? (btw I didn't build this site) Thanks Simon0 -

How can I get ranking keys of competitors
Sometimes it might be clever to analyse the stategy of a competitor to see with which keys they rank successfully. For example I have a webshop, so I type in amazon.com and seomoz spits out: books, dvds, ... I can now see with what keys i wont have a chance and can think of missing keys where my chance might be. Is there a possibility to find out with seomoz?
