URLS appearing twice in Moz crawl
-
I have asked this question before and got a Moz response to which i replied but no reply after that.
Hi,
We have noticed in our moz crawl that urls are appearing twice so urls like this - http://www.recyclingbins.co.uk/about/ www.recyclingbins.co.uk/about/
Thought it may be possible rel=canonical issue as can find URL's but no linking URL's to the pages.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you
Jon
I did the crawl test and they were not there

Hey Jon!
There are only two ways for these URLs to be picked. Relative links in the source code or malformed sitemaps if the <loc>tags are not on the same line as the URL</loc>
Incorrect:
<loc>www.domain.com</loc>
correct:
<loc>www.domain.com</loc>
If the linking page or referral URL is the sitemap, look in the source for the tags. If they are from another linking page, look for hyperlinks missing http://

Hi Jon,
Just to clarify is your report showing the domains with http and without, or with www. and without as the duplicate content?
i have seen this issue on a couple of my sites where it is reporting with and without www. and have just implemented the rel canonical to point towards one or the other as i am very confident that this will resolve the issue.
I'll let you know the outcome.
Regards,
Ben

How can I find the old ERRORS and WARNINGS report in the NEW Moz design?
I'm looking for a complete list of errors and bugs that need to be fixed within a website. I used to use the MAIN tool (at least it seemed it was the most popular) but now that its just MOZ.com I can't seem to find that great report. It had data such as: 1. List of pages with Title Tags too long 2. List of pages with Description Tags too long 3. List of RED errors and YELLOW warnings, BLUE somethings... etc... Ring a bell? I LOVED this report, where can I find this data? Thanks! Derek

Moz ranking report shows massive loss in Bing SERP's. But it is not the case?
My weekly ranking report shows massive loss of SERP's on Bing. For most keywords I was no longer in the top 50 which where first top 5. But when I checked it out for myself, I'm still ranked top 5 for these keywords. I then used the Moz Rank Tracker and there it also says I'm still ranking top 5 for these keywords. What should I believe now?
