Why do I suddenly have so many more page errors?
-
I've been working diligently to remove page errors that appear after each scan of my website. I was down to 3 or 4 errors after the last crawl, now this week I'm getting 80 plus. I haven't changed anything since last week (page titles, etc.) so what's up?
-
Hey, thanks! I'll talk with my programmers to see what's up.
-
You only need the https on the page that accepts credit cards, not the whole site.
-
Thanks Alan.
We do accept credit cards so the https is necessary. I'll look into the canonical tags and see what I can do.
-
I dcant tell you, they obviously did not crawl the whole site the first time. If you are new, then that would be the case as they only do a quick crawl the first time.
the above problem you show, needs a canonical tag to fix it.
Also is there a reason for using https? this encrypts the page, making it slower, if you are nort handling credit cards i would not use https

Okay, here's the scoop. Last week I showed 4 pages with duplicate page content (all contact forms for different purposes) and 4 pages with missing or duplicate page titles. I fixed the page titles by giving each of the 4 pages a unique title.
This week, I have 26 pages with duplicate content and 73 with duplicate page titles. Here's a sample of what I got:
Teak Products for Boats : Teakworks4u
http://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?xid_3ccf5=45aab4acddfd1537ff7b65905a3d88ac
The report says there are 38 pages with the same page title. Here is a sampling:
https://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?sort=price&page=2
https://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?sort=price&page=2
https://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?sort=price&page=3
https://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?page=2&sort=title&sort_direction=1
Why are these showing up all of a sudden? I haven't changed anything other than what I mentioned above.It makes no sense to me that this would start to show up now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A url would be helpfull.
its hard to say without knowing the rros and the errors you fixed, some times fixing errors makes it posible for the crawler to find others it could not crawl previously.

Keyword ranking for different page than the page optimized
I have optimized "equipment trailer for rent" on this page: http://www.bigtrailerrentals.com/flatbed-trailer-rentals/equipment-deckover. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me why Google has chosen to rank the keyword phrase for this page: http://www.bigtrailerrentals.com/flatbed-trailer-rentals/equipment-24 This is just one example. It has happened on several of my pages / keywords.

Sudden Drop in Impressions
Hi all- I'm a bit confused and hope someone may have an idea. In the last few days, traffic to our site has taken a big hit, so much so that I even got an email from webmaster tools that the home page was receiving significantly less traffic. I can't find anything particular that we changed that should have this much of an effect, but then again, I have been shortsighted in the past 🙂 The site is bulkcandystore.com and if anyone has any thoughts, I would appreciate it. Thanks Ken

Ecommerce - how many clicks from the home page should categories be
My client has about 300 products in 20 categories with a lot of overlap. How many clicks from the home page should we keep the products? We're not doing pagination. I'd been told several years ago that all products should be 2 clicks or less from the home page. Is this true today? Thanks.

On-page keyword usage
SEOMOZ gave me all zeros for keyword usage. Why? The site is www.grass2greens.com and the keywords are "Asheville Landscaping Edible." The site includes these words in the title page and throughout the body text. I am not really sure, but maybe one cause for these low keyword usage ratings might be redirects or some meta tag issues, but I am really not sure. Any ideas?

Too many 301 redirects to home page - is this possible?
If a site has a bunch of 404’s that are basically old URL’s that no longer work and point to pages or documents that don’t exist anymore - Can someone clarify if it’s a problem when fixing a bunch of these 404’s to point them all to the home page? so if there is not really anywhere else that is applicable for the old broken URL, is it really a problem to 301 old pages to the site home page? I have read some different things on this recently on some different sites, so I just wondered what the latest thinking on this was….thanks...
