Status Errors generated from xml site map
-
I just ran a crawl test on our site and I'm seeing a lot of 404 errors that are referredt from the xml sitemap.. Anyone know how to fix it?
-
If it is automatically generated, then you should bring this up to your Dev team and have them investigate. One of the biggest issues I see is auto generating sitemaps daily.
Good Luck

Thanks for the tips. The idea of different sitemaps is a good one... I know our file is automatically generated so that's why I'm a but confused.
-
If you have ftp access to the site, you should be able to download the xml sitemap and edit it in a text editor program.
Since you have several bad links, I would probably delete them all and create a new one based on your current website. (And if it is a large site, you can have multiple xml sitemaps to keep everything organized and better for you to monitor and track)
There are some great tools out there that will automatically create your sitemaps for you.

I guess I was asking how to fix the sitemap. I'm a newbie at this so learning by fire.. Thanks for the Webmaster Tools reco... I'll check it out.

I must not be understanding your question, since my answer would be fix your XML Sitemap? Google Webmaster Tools has a tool that allows you to validate your sitemap.

Error in Moz duplicate content reports
Hi - I've run the Moz campaign on a client's site. Moz is saying that there are duplicate content errors, and when I look at the errors it is showing that they are all to do with the non-www URLs having being duplicated in the www form of the URLs. However this is not the case - all the non-www URLs are all 301 redirected to the www URLs. Is this an error in the Moz tool? Has anybody experienced something similar?

Rogerbot does not catch all existing 4XX Errors
Hi I experienced that Rogerbot after a new Crawl presents me new 4XX Errors, so why doesn't he tell me all at once? I have a small static site and had 9 crawls ago 10 4XX Errors, so I tried to fix them all.
Moz Pro | | inlinear
The next crawl Rogerbot fount still 5 Errors so I thought that I did not fix them all... but this happened now many times so that I checked before the latest crawl if I really fixed all the errors 101%. Today, although I really corrected 5 Errors, Rogerbot digs out 2 "new" Errors. So does Rogerbot not catch all the errors that have been on my site many weeks before? Pls see the screenshot how I was chasing the errors 😉 404.png0 -

Canonical issue in open site explorer
When I look at my back links in OSE, I see two landing pages on my site that are really the same page. www.mysite.com/ and www.mysite.com/(affiliate code here) These show different inbound link characteristics and page authority. The page in question has a rel=canonical tag. Am I doing something wrong?

SEOMoz Pro and Multiple Niche Sites
Currently I have 15 affiliate marketing sites and three blogs which are monetized. My budget dictates the base pro package so may I get some recommendations on how or if I can do analysis over time for all the sites. I ask this because it seems you would set your campaigns for long-term but I imagine you delete/modify/add campaigns to analyze different key words. Thanks for your help.

Backlinks using Open Site Explorer
Hey guys, So I was doing some backlink analysis for a client and was utilizing Open Site Explorer, which stated that I had roughly 2,111 External Followed Links. However, I can't seem to find a way to export all 2,111 backlinks. I wanted to make sure if the links I had acquired had been indexed and crawled, and picked up, but I can't seem to access the full list on a domain level, only on the subdomain level. Anybody have any suggestions or advice? Any would be helpful! Best, James
