How does Google find /feed/ at the end of all pages on my site?
-
Hi!
In Google Webmaster Tools I find *.../feed/ as a 404 page in crawl errors. The problem is that none of these pages exist and they have no inbound links (except the start page).
FYI, it´s a wordpress site.
Example:
Does Google search for /feed/ by default or why do I keep getting these 404´s every day?

Hi Tommy
You can do as Aran suggests - a redirect would be fine for feeds you don't want being crawled.
But more importantly, you may want to consider not indexing subpages (like this one: http://www.mediaanalys.se/blogg/page/2/) - you can make this setting in Yoast.
Let us know!

Thanks for your support

I'm all out of ideas then!
set up the 301 and see what happens
Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

I´ve checked the sitemap, you find it at ....se/sitemap_index.xml
It´s Yoast plugin BTW.

I see your point... cant find reference to /feed/ however i also cannot find your sitemap.xml to confirm their are no references in there are their an external links pointing to kontakt/feed?
I'd consider adding a 301 rule into the htaccess to redirect traffic from the offending 404 pages, just in case.

Sure, notice that it´s in swedish
Example of one page that Google report 404 on is our contact page with /feed/ at the end,

could you share the url?

Hi Aran, thanks for your time!
Meta and sitemaps are clear. I also checked the source code for the specific pages that Google have in their reports, but no link.
I´ve also googled about the automatic feed functions in WP but no problem there either.

By default I think most wordpress blogs have a feed accessible via the urls you describe (http://en.support.wordpress.com/feeds/)
I'm pretty sure there specified somewhere link in sitemaps or even in meta.
Have you disabled your feeds?
Seeing your URL would help.

Duplicate Content/Similar Pages
Hello, I'm working on our site and I'm coming into an issue with the duplicate content. Our company manufactures heavy-duty mobile lifts. We have two main lifts. They are the same, except for capacity. We want to keep the format similar and the owner of the company wants each lift to have its own dedicated page. Obviously, since the layout is the same and content is similar I'm getting the duplicate content issue. We also have a section of our accessories and a section of our parts. Each of these sections have individual pages for the accessory/part. Again, the pages are laid out in a similar fashion to keep the cohesiveness, and the content is different, however similar. Meaning different terminology, part numbers, stock numbers, etc., but the overall wording is similar. What can I do to combat these issues? I think our ratings are dropping due to the duplicate content.

My little startup Voyage has a tough relationship with Google. I have been reading SEOMOZ/MOZ for years. I am no pro but I understand the basics pretty well.

Why is google not deindexing pages with the meta noindex tag?
On our website www.keystonepetplace.com we added the meta noindex tag to category pages that were created by the sorting function. Google no longer seems to be adding more of these pages to the index, but the pages that were already added are still in the index when I check via site:keystonepetplace.com Here is an example page: http://www.keystonepetplace.com/dog/dog-food?limit=50 How long should it take for these pages to disappear from the index?
