Why does it keep displaying br tags and claiming 404 errors on like 4 of my URL's for all my Wordpress sites?
-
Is anyone else having the same issue? These errors don't actually exist and i think it has something to do with wordpress - how can i fix this?
-
So i took a look at our SEOMOZ Pro account - it's showing me 4 URL's similar to the one below:
404 : Error
http://dfwsinusselect.com/about-balloon-sinuplasty/insurance/<br
However, nowhere in my site can I find any links with %3Cbr (which is basically the
tag.Without that ending, the URL works fine, and that's how it is linked throughout the site... so I guess what I'm saying is that I'm having this very issue with multiple Wordpress sites.

Have you visited the pages in question and viewed the response headers? It's strange, but sometimes a web server can serve up a page but still put out a 404 in the header. And with CMS driven sites like Wordpress (without physical page files), it's easy to create a 404 URL by simply linking to a typo.

How do I mprove site visibility and keyword ranking for new product site
Hi, Sorry if this is a ridiculous post as I am really new to SEO, but I haven't had this problem with other sites! We had a website www.r-dna.co.uk that was never promoted or used very much as it was early days in the product lifecycle. The product (is called R-DNA or Remote Data Network Analysis) is now live so we re-branded and re-launched the site - it has now been live since the beginning of September but we still only have 0.35% visibility and very little ranking in our keywords. We are also using Google Adwords to try and generate business and have registered with numerous online business directories. I have been blogging to update content, tweeting and updating our facebook page, but we still aren't getting the traffic or visibility increases that we have experienced with our other sites. The MOZ site crawl shows 5 medium priority issues (duplicate title page & missing meta description tag), but no major issues. I know its probably fairly early days for a "new" site, but wondered if anyone could advise if there is anything wrong which would explain our lack of visibility.

Hi there, I am trying to analyse the UK version of my website. However as the website is set to redirect people to the most relevant site and SEO Moz is based in the US, it is redirecting all the pages your crawling and therefore analysing US pages. So I am trying to look at the UK homepage but all the factors relate to the US site... Is there a way around this?? Thanks

Does Open Site Explorer violate Google's Terms of service?
According to Google's Webmaster Guidelines: "Don't use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc. Such programs consume computing resources and violate our Terms of Service." Does that mean Open Site Explorer is a violation of those Terms of Service, or is it authorized?

Are there errors in your PRO reports lately?
Working with a new client with large websites. On the competitive domain analysis the numbers for my client and 3 competitors was 48 | 52, 51, 55 For 2 whole weeks it jumped to 68 | 48, 43, 51 and there were some really odd supporting numbers such as total links moving from 107K originally to 806K. Just today, the numbers have reverted to the previous numbers. I am relatively new to moz and like the reports, but this is very unnerving. Is there an explanation? Anyone else seeing this? Added: Aargh. The numbers just jumped back to the previous high numbers. Help.
