Too many characters in title ? Chinese Font ?
-
On our site we have Chinese characters in the title's and after reviewing the campaign reports I noticed it was showing that the majority of these pages have a title which is too long. However, the Chinese character count is far less than the recommended number.
I think the crawling/reporting for this language might have a problem ?

Could it be because it takes far less character to write the same sentence in Chineese than in English. "Blue Widgets" would be 蓝色部件. If you tried real hard, you could probably write a whole paragraph in the title. It might be a good idea to translate it to English and see how many characters it would be.

I know Google handles the problem well. For example I have a forum site which supports other languages. There are threads with titles such as "Здравейте българи!". When I look at my canonicalization tag it converts to:http://www.terapvp.com/threads/Здравейте-българи.168/
The converted page title and URL appears to be too long and sets off warnings from Roger, the SEOmoz crawler. Google handles these results fine and the pages appear properly in SERPs. I think Roger needs an upgrade.

Duplicate Page Content and Title - Miva - How to fix?
Hi, I'm new to SEOmoz and just diving into it. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I use Miva Merchant as my storefront interface. SEMOz is returning a bunch of duplicate page content and duplicate page titles and I can't figure out what to do about it. It seems it may have something to do with Miva shortlinks. I click on the dup URL's in SEMOz and it brings me to a dead page. I can't figure out where it's coming from. I know without seeing the actual information it'll probably be tough to help me but any suggestions would be appreciated. I try to fix them and come to a point (after about three hours of getting nowhere) it becomes too frustrating. Thanks!

Why does open site explorer show me Chinese characters?
Hi there, When using open site explorer to check the anchor text for www.bookvictoriafalls.com I see Chinese characters as anchor text. However, when I do the same for www.bookvictoriafalls.com/ I see normal English anchor text. Coincidentally this domain has dropped from first page rankings to outside the top 50. Is this a spam issue? Open-Site-Explorer.png

SEOMoz's Crawl Diagnostics showing an error where the Title is missing on our Sitemap.xml file?
Hi Everyone, I'm working on our website Sky Candle and I've been running it as a campaign in SEOmoz. I've corrected a few errors we had with the site previously, but today it's recrawled and found a new error which is a missing Title tag on the sitemap.xml file. Is this a little glitch in the SEOmoz system? Or do I need to add a page title and meta description to my XML file. http://www.skycandle.co.uk/sitemap.xml Any help would be greatly appreciated. I didn't think I'd need to add this. Kind Regards Lewis
