Domain added to the url
-
Hi,
I am having a problem with my Wordpress site http://www.food-and-garden. It seems the domain www.food-and-garden.com is added to the url, for example http://www.food-and-garden.com/recipe-items/blini-lumpfish-roe/www.food-and-garden.com
Right now I have 249 404 errors. That's a lot!
I found a Q&A similar to this, and as far as I understand, it has to do with relative links. I quess somewhere on my site there is href="www.food-and-garden.com" instead of href="http://www.food-and-garden.com"
My question is, how do I find the broken link?
Thank you!

Hey there,
This is Michael on the Moz Help Team! Sorry to hear about the trouble here. To see the source of those errors, you’ll need to export your full Crawl Diagnostics CSV, which you can do by clicking the "Email CSV" button at the bottom of the issues overview. Once the report generates, it will be emailed to you and you will want to open it up in something like Excel. In the first column, perform a search for the URL of the page you are looking for. When you find the correct row, look in the column labeled Referrer (column AM). This tells you the referral URL of the page where our crawlers first found the target URL. You can then visit this URL to find where we linked to that page.
Hope that helps!

You will need to open the CSV with a spreadsheet program (upload it to Google Docs). From there you can go to the referral column and it will tell you which page the error is linking from. You will then need to edit the place on the page where the error is occurring or find if you have a widget on the page that is throwing the error.

Hi, I did the site myself but I am very much a newbie to Wordpress (or any other kind of system). I have downloaded the CSV but don't know what to look for.
All I see is: http://www.food-and-garden.com/second-kitchen-garden/www.food-and-garden.com,false,false,true,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,false,404 : Received 404 (Not Found) error response for page.,1,0,0,0,,,,404,1,,76,,55,0,"",,http://www.food-and-garden.com/second-kitchen-garden/,"",Error attempting to request page
How do I go on from here?
Sorry about my poor English. I am Danish and not used to handling this kind of problem in English

Karin,
We had this same problem on our Wordpress site, it comes from improperly coded link on pages that had certain modules active (it was fixed by making the link absolute). You can use Moz's crawl diagnostic tool to email yourself a CSV then look for the errors and go across to the referral column to find which page has the erroneous link, from there you can edit your content to fix it.

Hi Ryan. It seems Xenu Link Sleuth only runs on Windows. But I am gonna try Screaming Frog and see if anything turns up. Thanks!

Hi Karin. Try out the crawl tool: Xenu Link Sleuth. It will show you broken links like these along with the page on which they're located.

Canonical url does not seem to be recognised by Moz
Hey guys, forgive me... brand new user of Moz. Moz is telling me I have duplicate url's - a lot of them. Investigating I see that it is classing http://creativedigital.co.nz/artprints/lake-tekapo-church-of-the-good-shepherd?tag=lake as a duplicate of http://creativedigital.co.nz/artprints/lake-tekapo-church-of-the-good-shepherd even though there is a canonical tag in head as follows I'm not quite sure what I am doing wrong. Any advice would really be appreciated 🙂 Mike

How do I interpret Duplicate Content in a Crawl Report, when it only gives me a URL? How do I know what is duplicated on that page somewhere else?
I need help interpreting the Crawl Report for Duplicate Content. It gives me the URLs of pages that have duplicate content, but how do I know what content exactly is duplicated elsewhere? And how do I figure out where it is duplicated? Also, are there Moz Analytics articles or videos teaching you how to use each component of the analytics programs? Thanks!
