How do I fix a broken link to a product category page in wordpress?
We are building a new site currently at http://67.222.109.48/~cheapnan/
I started doing some SEO after the developer I hired failed to do it even though it was in the agreement.
I did our old site so I should be able to do this but I am new to wordpress. Now when i go to the products tab at the top of the page the first 2 have broken links, I checked the rest and there are 3 total that I need to fix. I am unsure how to access the navigation so I can fix the links. Please tell me where to look.

RE: Duplicate content penalty
Thx Jane- No I wasn't aware of that. I don't get it because I put canonical tags right under the Head and I used the code below to do it. I will check again but am unsure how to fix it
I don't even know how to fix coding on the Http://cheaptubes.com site. It seems like when I add content to the canonical site it updates all of them. Thx for pointing out errors, you are giving me something to fix and improve.

RE: Duplicate content penalty
Thx Jane - I may not have put a canonical tag on that page yet but its the same for every page. I can't access the http://cheaptubes.com but I can access the canonical version to publish. I did put canonical tags on most of my other pages such as the SWNTs page but it still shows a non canonical version when moz crawls it. Perhaps a 301 from http://cheaptubes.com to the canonical page? I'm just not sure how to handle it.

RE: Duplicate content penalty
Hi Everyone - I'm hoping you can help me out again. I have a functional 301 on cheaptubesinc.com. that cleared about 1/2 my dup content penalty on the moz crawl this week. As you can see in the results below, I still have 57 pages with dup content according to Moz.
57 Duplicate Page Content
13 4XX (Client Error)
57 Duplicate Page TitleI checked and I think it is mostly a canonical problem. I do have Rel Canonical tags on all my pages. When I clicked on the 1st one it appears that is the case, see below

http://cheaptubes.com/cntmaterialsafetydatasheet.htm25My question is, do I need another 301 from http://cheaptubes.com to the canonical version? I'ld rather not since I had to fight with network solutions for a week for them to add the / after .com so my other pages would work. Is this a penalty I should still be concernedabout given that I have the rel canonical tags? Please let me know your thoughts on thisMike

RE: Duplicate content penalty
Thanks Everyone. I got the old url cheaptubesinc.com 301'd to cheaptubes.com this week. Of course network solutions left off the / after .com and before the page name so that only the home page would 301 and they could try to sell me more 301s, it cost $60 for 1 and I have 48 pages on my site. I called and emailed them all week and they kept saying they had done it right and and they couldn't force google to change the links. I then realized if I typed www.cheaptubesinc/graphene.htm that it didn't work because it 301'd to www.cheaptubes.comgraphene.htm. They were argumentative with me even though I was polite with them even though I didn't want to be. I finally got a tech on the phone who said he would add the slash and ask his boss for forgiveness. However given the history of having the domain parked and pointed before and that not working over time & now this, I think my best bet is to transfer my domains to someone else. I heard bluehost is good. My concern is if they were that unethical in our dealings and the boss was argumentative in emails than they could go in an remove the slash at any time.
I also found a ton of code errors right at the top of my pages. I now know it was from putting up temporary messages but not checking to make sure the code was clean. The woman I bought my them from (6.5 years ago I paid her $60 and she still helps me for free, what difference between her & NS) notice open H1's & P elements at the top of the pages. I was still ranking well for acronyms but missing out on the long keywords since last july which caused my sales to drop off. I figure I lost at least 150K in sales because I neglected my website and didn't clean up the code on my pages a painful lesson I won't soon forget. On tuesday, when I searched single walled carbon nanotubes I had to go 8 pages back in google to find my page. By week's end I was #8 on page 1 and ahead of sigma aldrich a major materials supplier.
Thank you so much for your help everyone, it is sincerely appreciated
Mike
