Getting multiple errors for domain.com/xxxx/xxxx/feed/feed/feed/feed...
-
A recent SEOMoz crawl report is showing a bunch 404's and duplicate page content on pages with urls like http://domain.com/categories/about/feed/feed/feed/feed/feed and on and on. This is a wordpress install. Does anyone know what could be causing this or why SEOMoz would be trying to read these non-existent feed pages?

Good insight. Thanks for your response. We'll dig a little deeper.

From all the WordPress sites I have scanned I find they have a lot of violations, the one of most concern is un-necessary redirects, that is where a link does not link directly to the destination, but 301 redirects to the destination. This leaks Link Juice, 15% I believe. Your site has 581 of these, and over 17,000 violations all up.
All CMS sites have violations, but the best I have found is
Orchard CMS, but even they are far from perfect, they have multiple H1 tags for example.
Matt Cutt’s site indeed does have a lot of violations.
The crawler I Use was made by Bing and finds the same violations as Bing, and according to them the near enough the same as Google.Matt himself has stated that Google itself has bad SEO, but they don’t encourage SEO really do they.

Wow, so grateful for your response but, really - Wordpress is not very SEO friendly? I've never heard that before. Matt Cutts would certainly disagree. What makes you say that?

I did a crawl with Bing SEO Toolkit
and get the same.
it reports page http://www.brandtailers.com/tag/feed/ The Web page contains the broken link 'http://www.brandtailers.com/tag/feed/feed/'.this is how Bing sees your web site, the fact that http://www.brandtailers.com/tag/feed/ does not exists is irelevant, thats what Bing is seeing and it means a violation.
Wordpress is technicaly not very SEO Freindly, that is the conclusion I have come to after crawling many wordpress sites

We switched the domain from www.blog.domain.com to domain.com/blog.
We switched the domain from www.blog.domain.com to domain.com/blog. This was done with the purpose of gaining backlinks to our main website as well along with to our blog. This set us very low in organic traffic and not to mention, lost the backlinks. For anything, they are being redirected to 301 code. Kindly suggest changes to bring back all the traffic.

404 Error
Hello, Seomoz flagged a url as having a 404 client error. The reason the link doesn't return a proper content page is because the url name was changed. What should we do? Will this error disappear when Google indexes our site again? Or is there some way to manually eliminate it? Thanks!

Best way to create a shareable dynamic infographic - Embed / Iframe / other?
Hi all, After searching around, there doesn't seem to be any clear agreement in the SEO community of the best way to implement a shareable dynamic infographic for other people to put into their site. i.e. That will pass credit for the links to the original site. Consider the following example for the web application that we are putting the finishing touches on: The underlying site has a number of content pages that we want to rank for. We have created a number of infogrpahics showing data overlayed on top of a google map. The data continuously changes and there are javascript files that have to load in order to achieve the interactivity. There is one infographic per page on our site and there is a link at the bottom of the infographic that deep links back to each specific page on our site. What is the ideal way to implement this infographic so that the maximum SEO value is passed back to our site through the links? In our development version we have copied the youtube approach implemented this as an iframe. e.g. <iframe height="360" width="640" src="http://www.tbd.com/embed/golf" frameborder="0"></iframe>. The link at the bottom of that then links to http://www.tbd.com/golf This is the same approach that Youtube uses, however I'm nervous that the value of the link wont pass from the sites that are using the infographic. Should we do this as an embed object instead, or some other method? Thanks in advance for your help. James
