URLS appearing twice in Moz crawl

[imrubbish]

I have asked this question before and got a Moz response to which i replied but no reply after that.

Hi,

We have noticed in our moz crawl that urls are appearing twice so urls like this - http://www.recyclingbins.co.uk/about/ www.recyclingbins.co.uk/about/

Thought it may be possible rel=canonical issue as can find URL's but no linking URL's to the pages.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you

Jon

I did the crawl test and they were not there

Hey Jon!

There are only two ways for these URLs to be picked. Relative links in the source code or malformed sitemaps if the <loc>tags are not on the same line as the URL</loc>

Incorrect:

<loc>www.domain.com</loc>

correct:

<loc>www.domain.com</loc>

If the linking page or referral URL is the sitemap, look in the source for the tags. If they are from another linking page, look for hyperlinks missing http://

the relative link would be

Hope this helps!

Hi Jon,

Just to clarify is your report showing the domains with http and without, or with www. and without as the duplicate content?

i have seen this issue on a couple of my sites where it is reporting with and without www. and have just implemented the rel canonical to point towards one or the other as i am very confident that this will resolve the issue.

I'll let you know the outcome.

Regards,
Ben
