901 error code showing url back to back in crawl
-
Hi Everyone,
I'm absolutely dumbfounded about this 901 issue (showing pages with our url back to back). Our site is hosted on Big Commerce: https://www.santabarbarachocolate.com
When I look for these pages being crawled I don't find them.
I've called BC for help and I can't seem to find a solution or where to turn as to how to fix the issue at hand or even if it matters. Please see below what the Moz crawl shows. Could this be related to Yotpo or some app we have running? Or does this even matter and does it have any influence on rank?
Do you have recommendations or ideas?
Thanks so much.

An error in the crawler is a possiblity. Although i'm not that familiar with the MOZ-crawler so i have to be careful
Have you considered issues where the URL is not actually written back to back in the code where you can see it? But where the crawler might get the impression that it has to written back to back? For instance in JavaScript/jQuery or similar techniques?
Good luck!

Thank you so much Kevin. I will complete this now.

Hi Bas,
No, the url isn't written back to back anywhere that I can find. I've scanned the whole site multiple times and gone through all content. For a while I thought this is some weird canonicalization issue. But to no avail. No other errors in search console or Ahrefs. Moz is maybe finding a super deep error or this is some error happening in the scan?

Hi Jason,
Can you send us your information to help@moz.com so that we can investigate this further?
Thanks!

Hi Jason,
Could it be that someone accidentally has written the URL this way? Perhaps you have someone working on the content for this site who wrote the URL this way?
Do you also have this error in other tools, like Google Webmaster Tools?
Greets,
Bas

When I crawl my site On Moz it says it can't access the robots.txt file, but crawl is fine on SEM Rush - Anyone know any reason for this?
Hi guys, When I try to run a site crawl on Moz it returns an error saying that it has failed due to an error with the robots.txt file. However, my site can be crawled by SEM Rush with no mention of problems with roots.txt file issues. My developer has looked into it and insists their is no problem with my robots.txt and I've tried the Moz crawl at least 6 times over an 8 week period. Has anyone ever seen such a large discrepancy between Moz and SEM Rush or have any ideas why Moz has this issue with my site?? TIA everyone

Moz only crawling one page of a campaign, please help
Today I set up a new campaign for a client, however the crawl has only found the home page and is saying that the URL is unavailable. The site is definitely live and the URL is correct. I have set up the campaign 3 times one with the full address (http://www.) one with www. and with just the domain name. All three of these have come page with one page crawled and "unavailable" above the URL. It is picking up the crawl issues on the page and showing domain authority but I don't know why it's not crawling other pages. Prior to setting up the campaign I did a site crawl and Moz found everything then, so I don't know why it isn't now. Please help. Thanks

A lot of duplicate content issues - does Moz understand canonical URL?
Hi, Since I subscribed to Moz my Magento store has given a lot of duplicate content issues. However, I did have a problem with Canonical URL at the time. It has been settled for a couple of weeks by now and although I had 302 redirects before, I configured Magento to 301 today. Since Moz has been crawling and showing duplicate content for exactly the same Magento pages but with endings like store=us, store=aus etc (since I have several store views enabled), I am wondering whether canonical URL does actually help Google to skip these versions of the duplicate pages and does Moz also understand it and will it reduce the amount of duplicate content errors once the 301 redirects and canonical URLs have been properly set for a week or so? Thanks!

High Number of Crawl Errors for Blog
Hello All, We have been having an issue with very high crawl errors on websites that contain blogs. Here is a screenshot of one of the sites we are dealing with: http://cl.ly/image/0i2Q2O100p2v . Looking through the links that are turning up in the crawl errors, the majority of them (roughly 90%) are auto-generated by the blog's system. This includes category/tag links, archived links, etc. A few examples being: http://www.mysite.com/2004/10/ http://www.mysite.com/2004/10/17/ http://www.mysite.com/tagname As far as I know (please correct me if I'm wrong!), search engines will not penalize you for things like this that appear on auto-generated pages. Also, even if search engines did penalize you, I do not believe we can make a unique meta tag for auto-generate pages. Regardless, our client is very concerned seeing these high number of errors in the reports, even though we have explained the situation to him. Would anyone have any suggestions on how to either 1) tell Moz to ignore these types of errors or 2) adjust the website so that these errors now longer appear in the reports? Thanks so much! Rebecca

How to get moz to crawl a staging domain that is blocked by robots.txt
Is it possible to get Moz to do a crawl report on a domain blocked by robots.txt and actually display all errors instead of only one saying the domain was blocket in robots.txt? Anything i can add to robots.txt to make moz able to do the crawl report but still hinder google from crawling a staging domain?
