Why do I suddenly have so many more page errors?
-
I've been working diligently to remove page errors that appear after each scan of my website. I was down to 3 or 4 errors after the last crawl, now this week I'm getting 80 plus. I haven't changed anything since last week (page titles, etc.) so what's up?
-
Hey, thanks! I'll talk with my programmers to see what's up.
-
You only need the https on the page that accepts credit cards, not the whole site.
-
Thanks Alan.
We do accept credit cards so the https is necessary. I'll look into the canonical tags and see what I can do.
-
I dcant tell you, they obviously did not crawl the whole site the first time. If you are new, then that would be the case as they only do a quick crawl the first time.
the above problem you show, needs a canonical tag to fix it.
Also is there a reason for using https? this encrypts the page, making it slower, if you are nort handling credit cards i would not use https
-
Okay, here's the scoop. Last week I showed 4 pages with duplicate page content (all contact forms for different purposes) and 4 pages with missing or duplicate page titles. I fixed the page titles by giving each of the 4 pages a unique title.
This week, I have 26 pages with duplicate content and 73 with duplicate page titles. Here's a sample of what I got:
Teak Products for Boats : Teakworks4u
http://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?xid_3ccf5=45aab4acddfd1537ff7b65905a3d88ac
The report says there are 38 pages with the same page title. Here is a sampling:
https://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?sort=price&page=2
https://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?sort=price&page=2
https://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?sort=price&page=3
https://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?page=2&sort=title&sort_direction=1
Why are these showing up all of a sudden? I haven't changed anything other than what I mentioned above.It makes no sense to me that this would start to show up now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A url would be helpfull.
its hard to say without knowing the rros and the errors you fixed, some times fixing errors makes it posible for the crawler to find others it could not crawl previously.

Google Search Console issue: "This is how Googlebot saw the page" showing part of page being covered up
Hi everyone! Kind of a weird question here but I'll ask and see if anyone else has seen this: In Google Search Console when I do a fetch and render request for a specific site, the fetch and blocked resources all look A-OK. However, in the render, there's a large grey box (background of navigation) that covers up a significant amount of what is on the page. Attaching a screenshot. You can see the text start peeking out below (had to trim for confidentiality reasons). But behind that block of grey IS text. And text that apparently in the fetch part Googlebot does see and can crawl. My question: is this an issue? Should I be concerned about this visual look? Or no? Never have experienced an issue like that. I will say - trying to make a play at a featured snippet and can't seem to have Google display this page's information, despite it being the first result and the query showing a featured snippet of a result #4. I know that it isn't guaranteed for the #1 result but wonder if this has anything to do with why it isn't showing one. VmIqgFB.png

What to do about pages I have deleted?
I have been working through the dead links on my page and recreating the page with new content for those pages that it still makes sense to have on the site. But I have a few that were just changes of the title, spelling mistakes or other ways of saying the same thing In other words I created a page called "areas of the UK we cover" but decided to change it to "areas covered" However, I must have created links to this page and now it is a dead link with a page authority of 19 I think it would be spammy to have two pages, one called "areas covered" and the other called "areas of the UK we cover. It's not a disallow in Robots.txt because the page does not exist Please note I do not have access to the header to add code for a 301 redirect. I'm still using webs.com but not for new sites. I also have a page called singing telegrams london, that I changed from singagrams london. These are two words for the same thing but they are two very different keywords would it be ok to recreate this page and create content for singagrams london. Help is much appreciated

"City page" links in footer of home page: Spammy?
Is listing a bunch of links to city pages in the footer of a home page considered "spammy" to Google? (ie- Chicago Alarms, Illinois Alarms, Naperville Alarms, etc.) What are the negative affects this might have on ranking, if any?

Jquery in top of page vs text on bottom page
Is it the best way to use jquery sliders on the top of your page to still get all your text above the fold and score in search engines? for example: http://www.wolf-howl.com/wp-conte... is much better to score high ranks in search engines than http://www.wolf-howl.com/wp-conte... ?? Thanks!

Html and css errors - what do SE spiders do if they come across coding errors? Do they stop crawling the rest of the code below the error
I have a client who uses a template to build their websites (no problem with that) when I ran the site through w3c validator it threw up a number of errors, most of which where minor eg missing close tags and I suggested they fix them before I start their off site SEO campaigns. When I spoke to their web designer about the issues I was told that some of the errors where "just how its done" So if that's the case, but the validator still registers the error, do the SE spiders ignore them and move on, or does it penalize the site in some way?

Duplicate Page Title
Hi Guys, First off, it's an honour to be a part of this awesome community. I'm using WordPress and getting top 3 rankings for great keywords and I'm very excited, however my page titles are in this format "keyword optimised title here - site name here" eg: "This is my keyword - this is the name of my blog", "This is another keyword - this is the name of my blog", "This is a longtail keyword - this is the name of my blog" SEOMoz is reporting errors because of duplicate page title tags due to the "this is the name of my blog" being in every page title. Will this hurt my rankings? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work! Cheers, Troy.
