Magento: Moz finding URL and URL?p=1 as duplicate. Solution?
-
Good day Mozzers!
Moz bot is finding URL's in the Catalogue pages with the format www.example.com/something and www.example.com/something?p=1 as duplicate (since they are the same page)
Whats the best solution to implement here? Canonical? Any other?
Cheers!

This is a popular plugin for managing parameters and faceted navigation in Magento: http://amasty.com/improved-navigation.html. I have read quite a few reviews on this plugin, and it seems to be referenced quite often (however I don't have experience with it).
This paired with some robots.txt should do the trick.
Hope this helps!

This is for the category pages. Since we have many products in the category, there are many pages as well. We are currently using rel next prev, but not canonical. The problem is that Magento generates two URLs for the first category page for all categories:
I dont see how we could block these in robots.txt or parameters, because then they wouldnt be crawled at all?
-
I agree. Use robots to filter out bad urls, and set your url parameters in webmaster tools. Careful if you dont know how to use this, as you can potentially get rid of urls you want. Read up on it first.
-
Is there only one page? Is there a www.example.com/something?p=2 and www.example.com/something?p=3 as well? If this is the case, you may want to look into rel="prev/next".
-
Canonical will help yes, but also if the pages ARE duplicate content, you can block them in robots and let Google know in Webmasters Tools under URL Parameters.

Understanding how moz grades webpage and Keyword stuffing
Hi friends i have few questions about how moz ranks webpage. I just started so i looked only on front page of my website And i have grade A and few problems 1. Keyword stuffing. I can not understand how moz page grade tool runks page? does it looks source and counts all keywords? I have menu with 46 countries in which have keyword like "Freight forwarding - England" and so on. May be this is the problem? because if i search in chrome i just see 9 keywords but in source 100. But removing menu does not reduce number of keywords. So i can not understand what should i remove. An we made these pages for adwords campaign us landing pages for targeted keywords. The keyword is : Kravu pārvadājumi (freight forwarding) 2. On page grade shows i have too many links on page like 103. Does it count menus? Is it so bad? 3. what moz crawls for links, Google or my page? because i see duplicated content like vervo.lv and vervo.lv/lv. But if you try to write vervo.lv/lv it redirects to vervo.lv so how it is possible to resolve? What Should i do else if redirect does not help. on the moment page have 3 languages and main language is Latvian, webpage: http://vervo.lv/ Thanks for help.

On-Page URL
Hopefully I am missing something basic... I can't see how to specifically add and delete On-Page reports. It seems like running a report adds it but how to delete? Also, how does one change the URL for a report? I have re-organized some pages and can't seem the get the on-page report to keep my URL change. Here is what I tried. From the On-Page report card for a keyword I changed the URL and ran the test. Test runs ok but if I navigate back to the summary my old bad URL is still there.
