Fixing Wordpress URLs
-
I just redid our blog and I am using permalinks. I have the custom structure set to
/%year%/%postname%/ and catagory - blank.
When I run the XENU Link Slueth, it shows all my blog urls as broken, but the links work fine. However the url structure is www.example.com/2010/10/20/ and so on.
I am worried about duplicate content too. Do you know how I can fix the url structure so only 1 or 2 urls are used?

Try installing the plugin I suggested.
You changed the permalink structure that was followed previously, so you will want to make sure they get redirected properly.
The plugin I mentioned will do just that.
There is also the off chance that you need to empty the cache of your website via your cache plugin, or server side.

Correct. The broken link checker in wordpress is not finding broken links. but since i have the blog on our website in the blog folder, i ran the link sleuth on my domain and the broken links are appearing there. It says, empty url then has all of the urls for each blog. ex: 2010/catagory/name/, then 2010/10/20/20,. I dont get why it is displaying a empty url. in the link checker.

Am I understanding this correctly? The blog existed, had MANY blog posts previous to the update of the url structure, and not you are now seeing broken linkage via that app?
The best thing to do is to install this plugin:
It should correct your problem.

Wordpress Blog Pages, Duplicate Title Tag
Anyone have any experience in fixing the duplicate Title tag on a Wordpress blog multiple pages Basically the title tag remains the same on the pages /Blog/ /Blog/Page/2/ /Blog/Page/3/ My good friend Yoast Plugin doesn't seem to of resolved this (Unless i have missed something?) I don't really see this to be effecting anything and wouldn't of through it would either, but it would be nice to not see the notification within Moz site crawls and campaigns etc, its more of a cosmetic problem Any solutions ? Thanks James

How does WordPress 3.5.1 impact site rankings?
We have a user interested in having a WordPress 3.5.1 blog on their own existing, robust site. There is a blog module available in the CMS but the user feels more familiar with WordPress. It will be set up at the root as a subdirectory. Based on the URL structure, Google should see the WordPress blog and the user's website as the same website. (www.website.com/wordpress). There will not be a 301 needed. Does using the Wordpress module impact rankings? We've understood that Google doesn't care for Wordpress because 99% of spammers use it... is that only if it is hosted on WordPress.com? Also, are there any other reasons that our user should use/avoid WordPress?
