Too many pages indexed in SEOMoz
-
I am running a campaign for a client that has 86 pages via Google and SEmoz is up to almost 10K pages. I am really confused. Any ideas?
-
I also recommend that you consult help@seomoz.org. you will have a professional, respond quickly and will not have to share theinfo of your client.

Thanks Keri.
It does look like duplicate url parameters.

Thanks I did do this. It does look like duplicate url parameters.

Do you know how many pages the client is supposed to have? If they have 100 or so pages, one guess would be that there's an issue with URL parameters creating a ton of duplicate content, or there's a calendar application that's causing endless pages.
As it's a client, I imagine you can't share the URL with us. If you're not seeing any messages in your campaign about duplicate content or other hints, I'd email help@seomoz.org and ask them to take a look at it.

Have you looked at the errors in the campaign? I would suspect you have some duplicate content issues. For example, does your client serve the same page for the following instead of redirecting to the same URL?
- example.com
- example.com/
- example.com/index.php (or .html, or just /index)
- www.example.com
- www.example.com/
- www.example.com/index.php (or .html, or just /index)
There are many more that it could be finding. Drill in to this campaign, and click the subtab for Crawl Diagnostics. Then find the Duplicate Page Content error and drill into that. It should give you an idea as to what's going on.

Duplicate pages coming from links from the login page - what should we do about them?
This is a follow on to an earlier question which was well answered by Dirk Ceuppens regarding abnormal crawl issues. We are seeing that the issues relating to Duplicate Pages are coming from links from the login page which shows information about where the user was redirected from. For example, if the visitor is not logged on and wishes to wish-list an item, they will be redirected to the login page, with the item code and intended action in the url; which can then continue on to the desired page once logged on. The MOZ crawler is seeing these pages as having Duplicated Content whilst they are all the same apart from a piece of information in the URL. Should we be blocking these duplications? Are they a risk to us? What should we be doing? Many thanks, Sarah

On Page Grading Not Working
I am not getting any results in on page grading. When I click on add keywords a list of keywords appears that I have previously entered. They have tick boxes next to them and you can filter them but SEO moz is not automtically creating grade reports? Any ideas? Obviously I've set it up wrong somehow.

Duplicate page title
I own a store www.mzube.co.uk and the scam always says that I have duplicate page titles or duplicate page. What happens is thn I may have for example www.mzube.co.uk/allproducts/page1. And if I hve 20 pages all what will change from each page is the number at the end and all the rest of the page name will be the same but really the pages are if different products. So the scans think I have 20 pages the same but I havent Is this a concern as I don't think I can avoid this Hope you can answer

How does SeoMoz works with noindex meta tags?
In my last SeoMoz Crawl I've found a lot of warnings about duplicated content in page with a noindex meta tag. Is that normal? These pages should not be considered as indexable content of my website, isn't it?
