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!

Moz is reporting weird email address URLs as 'Meta refresh' errors? Anything to worry about?
Under site crawl, Moz is reporting weird email address URLs as 'Meta refresh' errors. The URLs are: http://[email protected] and http://[email protected] Once clicked, they redirect to our homepage. Anyone else ever had this? Is it anything to worry about? I don't think it is, but would be good to get some reassurance.

4XX client error with email address in URL
I have an unusual situation I have never seen before and I did not set up the server for this client. The 4XX error is a string of about 74 URLs similar to this: http://www.websitename.com/about-us/[email protected] I will be contacting the server host as well to troubleshoot this issue. Any ideas? Thanks

Rogerbot will not crawl my site! Site URL is https but keep getting and error that homepage (http) can not be accessed. I set up a second campaign to alter the target url to the newer https version but still getting the same error! What can I do?
Site URL is https but keep getting and error that homepage (http://www.flogas.co.uk/) can not be accessed. I set up a second campaign to alter the target url to the newer https://www.flogas.co.uk/ version but still getting the same error! What can I do? I want to use Moz for everything rather than continuing to use a separate auditing tool!

Why is the exact same URL being seen as duplicate and showing an error in my SEO reports
Well, I am still having duplicate page issues. I have a question about one of the errors SEO is giving me when I download a crawl report. I am going to attach a screen shot of part of the report so you can see for yourself, along with explaining it here. SEO shows the list of URL's that it crawled in the report. In this(see attachment) portion of the report it has 321 results for the exact same URL. It also says all of these exact same URL's have received a 404 error. What I want to know is how does it make 321 results for the same URL? And with this error that I don't see when I look at the page? 0hkRDST

New website launched 3 weeks ago but not sure what Moz Analysis is telling me?
Hi 3 weeks ago I re-branded and completely changed the proposition on www.over50choices.co.uk as the URL is appropriate to the proposition. And whilst it looks good I am unsure what the Moz Tools are telling me, other than it doesnt look good? There should be about 163 pages, but Moz reports over 500 due to i think so many 301's? Plus most pages under the HTTP Status reports No Data! Most of the the 404's are from the old site. Webmaster Tools say 163 pages submitted but only 2 indexed, but on site:search it says about 117 but 40+ of these are the old site. It looks a mess...! Sleepless nights have started - any thoughts!? Thanks Ash
