Getting multiple errors for domain.com/xxxx/xxxx/feed/feed/feed/feed...
-
A recent SEOMoz crawl report is showing a bunch 404's and duplicate page content on pages with urls like http://domain.com/categories/about/feed/feed/feed/feed/feed and on and on. This is a wordpress install. Does anyone know what could be causing this or why SEOMoz would be trying to read these non-existent feed pages?

Good insight. Thanks for your response. We'll dig a little deeper.

From all the WordPress sites I have scanned I find they have a lot of violations, the one of most concern is un-necessary redirects, that is where a link does not link directly to the destination, but 301 redirects to the destination. This leaks Link Juice, 15% I believe. Your site has 581 of these, and over 17,000 violations all up.
All CMS sites have violations, but the best I have found is
Orchard CMS, but even they are far from perfect, they have multiple H1 tags for example.
Matt Cutt’s site indeed does have a lot of violations.
The crawler I Use was made by Bing and finds the same violations as Bing, and according to them the near enough the same as Google.Matt himself has stated that Google itself has bad SEO, but they don’t encourage SEO really do they.

Wow, so grateful for your response but, really - Wordpress is not very SEO friendly? I've never heard that before. Matt Cutts would certainly disagree. What makes you say that?

I did a crawl with Bing SEO Toolkit
and get the same.
it reports page http://www.brandtailers.com/tag/feed/ The Web page contains the broken link 'http://www.brandtailers.com/tag/feed/feed/'.this is how Bing sees your web site, the fact that http://www.brandtailers.com/tag/feed/ does not exists is irelevant, thats what Bing is seeing and it means a violation.
Wordpress is technicaly not very SEO Freindly, that is the conclusion I have come to after crawling many wordpress sites

Redirect our www.website.com to website. Com/target-keyword
Dear moz community I have been analyzing the websites that rank in top 20 for our target keywords. All of the top 20 sites except us have their websites re directing to websites.com/target keyword. This is due to probably because they have multiple city's and one of the target keywords term is cityname + word. My question is and idea - make a 301 to our www.website.com to /city-keyword and start linking to that page with new links. Would that bring any benefit? Seems that it's a very strong ranking signal. Any threats that I must take into account? We currently rank as #9

New domain's Sitemap.xml file loaded to old domain - how does this effect SEO?
I have a client who recently changed their domain when they redesigned their site. The client wanted the old site to remain live for existing customers with links to the new domain. I guess as a workaround, the developer loaded the new domain's sitemap.xml file to the old domain. What SEO ramifications would this have if any on the primary (new) domain?

Rebranding / Redirecting
Hi I have a client who wants to re-brand their shopify clothing store under new domain name. Whilst still a clothing store its going to have different department structure and product pages and will hence be a different store/site. Is there anyway to pass any of the history/authority of existing site to the new one such as 301 redirecting the top level pages of existing site to nearest equivalent pages of new site etc or best to just redirect the old site domain to the new ? Cheers Dan

Mobile Site Domain/URL Structure
We are currently building a mobile optimised version of our main website and I had some questions with regard to SEO. 1. Is it best to structure the domain as: m.yourdomain.com yourdomain/m 2. It is correct to place rel="cannonical" on the mobile pages and to have only the main site indexed? Thanks in advance and links or books on mobile seo you can direct me to that would be greatly appreciated. Phil

Different domains
Firstly apologies for the very brief question as I am mainly looking for your thoughts as opposed to specific help about a specific problem. I am working on a site which has two sepreate domains and within one domain, two sub domains. The two different sites both havea high page rank, PR6 each, one is the corporate site and the other is the company blog. There are also two sub domains within the corporate site, again both domains have high pr and tons of content. My question is would it be better to consolidate all the assets under one domain or is it better to keep the sites sepreate, from an seo perspective that is.
