Does SeoMoz realize about duplicated url blocked in robot.txt?
-
Hi there:
Just a newby question...
I found some duplicated url in the "SEOmoz Crawl diagnostic reports" that should not be there.
They are intended to be blocked by the web robot.txt file.
Here is an example url (joomla + virtuemart structure):
http://www.domain.com/component/users/?view=registration
and the here is the blocking content in the robots.txt file
User-agent: *
_ Disallow: /components/_
Question is:
Will this kind of duplicated url errors be removed from the error list automatically in the future?
Should I remember what errors should not really be in the error list?
What is the best way to handle this kind of errors?
Thanks and best regards

Hello Franky,
Yes, our crawler obeys robots.txt files. If you recently made that change to your robots then it should reflect in your next crawl. If this error doesn't go away, feel free to let us know [email protected]. Thanks for letting us know!

Don't be too worried about SEOMOZ's errors. Just be aware of them, and if you have done what you need to for the robots file in regards to S.E robots, they should take notice and there shouldn't be any issues. Always be sure to check GWT for errors, those are the ones you should fix asap.

Same linking c-blocks trend as competitor
I noticed in our competitive link report that our number of linking c-blocks has risen and fallen in the exact same pattern as one of our competitors. Is there a reason why this would be happening?

Canonical URLs and Duplicate Page Content
My website (doctor directory) is getting a lot of duplicate page content & duplicate page title warnings from SEOmoz. The pages that are getting the warnings are doctors profiles which can be accessed at three different URLs. Problem is this should be handled by the canonical tag on the pages. So example below, all three open the same page: https://www.arzttermine.de/arzt/dr-sara-danesh/ https://www.arzttermine.de/arzt/dr-sara-danesh/gkv https://www.arzttermine.de/arzt/dr-sara-danesh/pkv Here's our canonical tag (on line 34): rel="canonical" href="http://www.arzttermine.de/arzt/dr-sara-danesh" /> So why is SEO moz crawling the page? We are getting hundreds of errors from this - and yet Google doesn't have any of the duplicate URLs indexed...

SeoMoz and incorrect results?
Just recieved my weekly Rankings and On Page report. First thing i noticed is that an important keyword dropped big time. "Rejser til Cypern" dropped from #3 to #40 ... So i checked google.dk myself (using impersonal.me) and saw i was still #3 in SERP. I ran SeoMoz's own Keyword Difficulty Report-tool. It showed me i was #3 in SERP. Now im thinking: Did i just loose my trust in Seomoz, to whom i give access to all my GA-data? What to do? Have anyone else experienced this?

Seomoz crawling filtered pages
Hi, I just checked an seo campaign we started last week, so I opened seomoz to see the crawl diagnostics. Lot's of duplicate content & duplicate titles showing up, but that's because Rogerbot is crawling all of the filtered pages as well. How do I exclude these pages from being crawled? /product/brand-x/3969?order=brand&sortorder=ASC

Half the time the tools don't work and there isn't any accountability. Has anyone else had the same experience?

SEOmoz crawler and duplicate content
Does anybody know if the SEOmoz crawler picks up canonical tags when its looking for duplicate content? I've got a ton of errors in one of my projects even though they all have canonical tags. Thanks!
