Site crawl warning - concatenated urls from Wordpress
-
I could use some help on how to fix this. I asked at the walkthrough but was told it was a Wordpress issue but so far I can't find anything to point me in the right direction. There are no errors in the files on server side and I have asked my hosting company too. I am hoping someone here may be able to shed some light on it.
One of my websites it giving 404 errors on links that are formed as below and there are over 12.7K of them!
Example: <mydomainurl>/www.instagram.com/www.instagram.com/<instagram username=""></instagram></mydomainurl>
The link that relates to my website is valid and working, but I don't understand the rest. I am totally stumped on how to move forward with this.
Any advice, suggestions, tips on how to fix these errors and stop these types of links getting generated.
Thanks.

You're a star Jo! Thanks so much.
Was such a simple fix. The site has been sitting there and I need to get it going again.
Just required the https to be added on the theme. Never complained it was missing.
Recrawling now so hopefully that will sort out the issues with Site Crawler, class tool! I never would have spotted it without it.
Have a great weekend.

Hi Emercarr.
Thanks for reaching out, Jo here from the Moz help team.
I had a look at your Campaign and your site and it looks like there is a link in your social panel that is creating this issue.

If you hover over the Instagram button you'll see the url in this format show up as a preview at the bottom of your browser:
<mydomainurl>/www.instagram.com/www.instagram.com/<instagram username=""></instagram></mydomainurl>
To check if this is the cause I would recommend removing the instagram link temporarily, or checking and updating the link format, and then prompting a recrawl of your site.
Please do feel free to reach out to help@moz.com if you get stuck :]
Cheers!
Jo

Is MOZ any good to analyze an e-commerce site? How come that a cms page can be seen as duplicate content with a category page?
Hi Guys, I've been using Moz for quite a long time now for 2 of my shops. Now I am in the process of launching the second shop and I just don't understand how is it possible that a cms static page (About US) to be seen as a duplicate content with other 96 pages - including product pages and other totally different pages such as delivery information, category pages, returns and so on. Really MOZ?? Is it me or you?? Your help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Moz crawl issues: All pages keep resolving to our "cookies not enabled" page
Upon running the Moz Pro site crawler, I noticed that I received quite a bit of duplicate titles along with 302 redirects (which is our site creating a temporary 302 to our "cookies not enabled" page). How would I get around the crawler being redirected to this page? I've never ran across this issue before, despite using the crawler with sites that use the same framework as the one thats affected. Any ideas?

We Launched a new site and Rogerbot is still reporting on links/errors from the old site, is there a way to clear those out?
We are mostly a Branding agency, and have not put a lot of effort into SEO for ourselves... SEO tends to take a backseat to design most of the time, making it a little difficult for me at times when it comes to SEO. We recently launched a new site, http://Roninadv.com/ and the developer and I have done quite a bit of work to make it work well for Google. I was really looking forward to a new crawl report from Roger, but alas, It's like Roger crawled the old site? The new site has been up since last Monday. Is there a way to clear out the old errors? Do I just need to give roger more time?

How do you stop Moz crawling a page?
Hello, I have a contact form which generates thousands of duplicate crawl errors. I'm going to use to block Google indexing these pages. Will this also block MOZ from crawling these pages and displaying the error? Thanks!
