Hey there! I ran my own Crawl Test for howtodrinkless.com, and I think I can help you find where strange URLs like the one in your original question are coming from.
If you're looking at the CSV of your crawl test, you'll want to take a look at the referrer column. That's the page our tools were on when they found the link to the page in the first column - the malformed URL with www in it twice. If you go to the page in the Referrer column and view the source code, you should be able to search for the malformed link and find where in the code it is.
It might be handy to have a web developer sit down with you to tackle this project - they'll be best equipped to help you resolve any issues the Crawl Test found.
As always, feel free to write in to [email protected] for more assistance!

hi, i have two sites that i am concerned about, the first one is http://howtodrinkless.com/ and the url is www.georgiafoster.com
We had a seo person do work on both sites but then when we got rid of them due to not doing what they claim they were doing, they then stripped all the work they had done that we paid for. The site should have hundreds and hundreds of quality links but they were removed, so wondering what damage has been caused and if anything underhand is happening. basically, the sites were like brand new sites again as they undone all the work they did that we paid for

Hi! Like Tawny said, without looking at the crawl report or knowing the URL you were crawling it can be hard to determine exactly where this URL came from.
If you want to share the URL info I would be more than happy to help you determine the root of the problem. This is definitely something you should look at thoroughly though in case your website has been hacked.
Thanks!

Hey there!
Tawny from Moz's Help Team here. Without being able to take a look at the crawl report, it's tough to troubleshoot where this URL came from.That said, if you write in to [email protected] and include all the details you can about what you're experiencing, we'll do everything we can to help sort things out!

Link Explorer Query Field ObscuresParts of Long URL
Hi, When using the Link Explorer to query URLs, when a long URL is entered, the field obscures the full URL eventough the field width should be able to comfortably fit the whole URL. This started to happen a few weeks ago. Hope this can be fixed soon. Thanks!

How do I disallow crawl on a directory when it's a prefix to my site's URL?
I am trying to disallow our media repository (hosted elsewhere, but appears as a directory on our site) from being crawled by robots but it is not a subdirectory of the site, it's a prefix. So I need to disallow: mediabank.mywebsite.org Not: mysite.org/mediabank What would I need to put in my robots.txt and/or the other host's robots.txt to make this happen? Thanks!

How can I be sure Moz Campaign for blog is working?
I set up a Moz Campaign to track my blog domain (made a separate one for our website) and added in keywords I've optimized our blog posts for. I've spent about 2 months optimizing pages and there's been no change in the numbers I see in the dashboard (specifically Search Visibility and Top National Keywords) and Rankings module. It all basically says either 0 or '--'. I think I've set this campaign up right because the website campaign has been changing and showing different results in the same amount of time. I'm going to ask the stupid question -- is this because I've set up the blog campaign wrong, my site is blocking Moz from accessing blog data or my SEO efforts simply aren't working? Please help. I need a sanity check here. Thank so much in advance!

Moz Crawler URL paramaters & duplicate content
Hi all, this is my first post on Moz Q&A 🙂 Questions: Does the Moz Crawler take into account rel="canonical" for search results pages with sorting / filtering URL parameters? How much time does it take for an issue to disappear from the issues list after it's been corrected? Does it come op in the next weekly report? I'm asking because the crawler is reporting 50k+ pages crawled, when in reality, this number should be closer to 1000. All pages with query parameters have the correct canonical tag pointing to the root URL, so I'm wondering whether I need to noindex the other pages for the crawler to report correct data?: Original (canonical URL): DOMAIN.COM/charters/search/mx/BS?search_location=cabo-san-lucas Filter active URL: DOMAIN.COM/charters/search/mx/BS?search_location=cabo-san-lucas&booking_date=&booking_days=1&booking_persons=1&priceFilter%5B%5D=0%2C500&includedPriceFilter%5B%5D=drinks-soft Also, if noindex is the only solution, will it impact the ranking of the pages involved? Note: Google and Bing are semi-successful in reporting index page count, each reporting around 2.5k result pages when using the site:DOMAIN.com query. The rel canonical tag was missing for a short period of time about 4 weeks ago, but since fixing the issue these pages still haven't been deindexed. Appreciate any suggestions regarding Moz Crawler & Google / Bing index count!

How do you block keywords in On-Page Grader for certain URLs?
For the on-page grader, I rank A's for 9 keywords. I struggle with F's I have because it is searching keywords on pages that are not supposed to be searched. For example, I have a "bracelets" page, so I didn't optimize it for "rings", so I got an F. However, it graded me an A for the bracelets keyword, which is great. To be sure I am correct, each page should have it's own keyword, such as bracelet. So why is the grader checking my "Bracelets" page for "Rings"? Maybe there is something I am missing. Just trying to see why this happening.
