Magento Dynamic Pages Being Indexed
-
Hi there, I have about 50k Moz medium priority errors in my Crawl Diagnostic report.
The bulk of them are classified as "Temporary Redirect" problems. Then if you drill into those further, I can see that the problem urls all kinda are center around:
mysite.com/catalogsearch/result..
mysite.com/wishlist..
mysite.com/catalog..
Is this something I should disallow in my Robstxt file? And if so how specific do I get with it..
Disallow /catalogsearch/result/?q=
Will listing the /catalogsearch be enough to cover anything after it?
thanks

Jeff is completely right on this one!

Thank you very much Jeff!

Yes, Magento does have a way of handling search results that are not always SEO-friendly.
To restrict Google from indexing anything in the /catalogsearch/ directory, I'd add this to your robots.txt file:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /catalogsearch/Here's a Moz blog about the robots.txt file:
http://moz.com/blog/interactive-guide-to-robots-txtAnd also, just in case the "killer" robots ever take over, Google has made sure that their two founders are not able to be indexed by both the T-1000 and T-800 models, with a special killer-robots.txt file:

Unsolved On page grader
All of my keywords score a 53 using the on page grader. When I look at the notes it indicates I don't have the keyword in question anywhere on the page which, while true in some cases, is not always factual. Does anyone have a similar experience?

On page analysis showing old results
Hi, My on page crawl analysis is showing that I have 38 duplicate content issues. These issues are because we had used tags in our blog. We remove all the tags 10+ day ago but the crawl that was done 5 days ago is still showing the tags as causing a duplicate content issue. Why would this be? We cannot correct is as it is already corrected. How do we get moz to crawl the correctly? Thanks Andrew

Benefits of reducing on page links
This is more of a discussion point. What would be the measurable results of reducing the number of on page links, specifically on a home page, but let's assume by way of a large navigation menu most of the pages have a lot of links" For instance, would any of the stats on the MozBar be affected (let's start with the home page). Would the Page Authority or MozRank change at all, perhaps because there is less "juice" flowing out of the home page? Thanks! 🙂

Duplicate Content being caused by home page?
Hello everyone, I am new to SEOmoz and SEO in general and I have a quick questions. When running a SEO Web Crawler report on my URL, I noticed in the report that my home page (also known as my index page) was listed twice. Here is what the report was showing: www.example.com/ www.example.com/index.php So are these 2 different urls? If so, is this considered duplicate content and should I block crawler access to the index.php? Thanks in advance for the help!

Different Moz Scores Between Page and Subdomain
The Moz scores for a page-specific website:: www.website.com are different than the subdomain: www.website.com/. www.website.com: Page MozRank: 4.58
Moz Pro | | DanSpeicher
Page MozTrust: 4.9 www.website.com/ Subdomain MozRank: 5.21
Subdomain MozTrust 5.18 Does that have any significance? Should I be routing pages to the " / " version? Thanks, Daniel0 -
