Woocommerce filter urls showing in crawl results, but not indexed?
-
I'm getting 100's of Duplicate Content warnings for a Woocommerce store I have. The urls are
etcThese don't seem to be indexed in google, and the canonical is for the shop base url. These seem to be simply urls generated by Woocommerce filters.
Is this simply a false alarm from Moz crawl?

Hi Justin:
I have a client with this problem. All of the filter URLs are crawled by Moz, show as duplicate content in Moz, have 302 warnings in Moz. All of them canonical back to their respective category pages. None appear on WMT/Search Console, but doing a similar "site:URL" search on Google shows they are indexed. I'm curious what you've done in the last year to resolve this? Or have you only tried to resolve via Sitemap submission, and did that work for you? Thank you!

Just an fyi for anyone who is using the Woocommerce and Yoast plugin, you can remove the additional features, custom attributes, and other Taxonomies that you may not want indexed via XML Sitemaps - Taxonomies.

I see now, thank you good sir! The answer to that question is likely "no" Now to hunt for a solution in the WordPress/Woocommerce/Yoast environment.

Hmmm thank you for the feedback. Google is not indexing these though...
If I google a phrase "egardwatches.com filter 128" to find this url -http://www.egardwatches.com/shop/?filter_additional-features=128 -
It does not appear in Google results, and it has the ? query indicator, which should tell Google it is dynamic?
Are you sure this isn't an issue with Moz crawl only?
How can it be duplicate content if it isn't even indexed?

URL Length Issue
MOZ is telling me the URLs are too long. I did a little research and I found out that the length of the URLs is not really a serious problem. In fact, others recommend ignoring the situation. Even on their blog I found this explanation: "Shorter URLs are generally preferable. You do not need to take this to the extreme, and if your URL is already less than 50-60 characters, do not worry about it at all. But if you have URLs pushing 100+ characters, there's probably an opportunity to rewrite them and gain value. This is not a direct problem with Google or Bing - the search engines can process long URLs without much trouble. The issue, instead, lies with usability and user experience. Shorter URLs are easier to parse, copy and paste, share on social media, and embed, and while these may all add up to a fractional improvement in sharing or amplification, every tweet, like, share, pin, email, and link matters (either directly or, often, indirectly)." And yet, I have these questions: In this case, why do I get this error telling me that the urls are too long, and what are the best practices to get this out? Thank You

Problem crawling a website with age verification page.
Hy every1, Need your help very urgent. I need to crawl a website that first has a page where you need to put your age for verification and after that you are redirected to the website. My problem is that SEOmoz, crawls only that first page, not the whole website. How can I crawl the whole website?, do you need me to upload a link to the website? Thank you very much Catalin

Duplicate page titles are the same URL listed twice
The system says I have two duplicate page titles. The page titles are exactly the same because the two URLs are exactly the same. These same two identical URLs show up in the Duplicate Page Content also - because they are the same. We also have a blog and there are two tag pags showing identical content - I have blocked the blog in robots.txt now, because the blog is only for writers. I suppose I could have just blocked the tags pages.
