About NOFOLLOW tag for SEOmoz analysis
-
Hi all,
Another issue while trying to resolve all the duplicate content SEOmoz reports to me. May be some of you guys can help:
I have a dynamic error page on our website, generated in case of error, that can happen on many urls. Of course that one should not be indexed.
I added the following tag on the HEADER:
name="robots" content="NOODP,NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW" />
To me this should prevent from having this page indexed, but also from having this page reported by SEOmoz analyzer as duplicate content.
Any hints?

The error appear on a set of URLs that are not valid, and our CMS result an error (a bit like a 404 except that it is not a 404 but a url with bad parameters)
So all these url goes to the same error/warning page dynamically generated by the CMS but there is not a redirect. Something that can happen for instance on access denied for protected content.
My bet was to place this
<meta < span="">name="robots" content="NOODP,NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW" /> on this page.</meta <>
SEOmoz tools still report the error of duplicate content.
I could of course also set a canonical but I have no idea of which URL to use for it.
Exemple of link:

Sorry, I'm a little confused. Does the error page appear on the same URL of the page, or on it's own set of URLs.
In theory, the solution you described should work. I might also add a canonical to the head pointing to a single error URL.
That said, I'd love to take a look at it. If you'd like, feel free to share your site/URL, or private message me and I can take a look at the campaign.

Crawl Diagnostics and missing meta tags on noindex blog pages
Hi Guys/Gals We do love the Crawl Diagnostics, but do find the missing meta tags ("Missing Meta Description" Tag in this case) somewhat spammy. We use the "All in One SEO Pack" for our blog and it does stick in noindex,follow (as it should) on the pages that is of no use to us. "2008/04/page/2/" and the likes. Maybe I'm wrong but should the Diagnostics tool not respect the noindex tag and just ignore any warnings, since it should really mean that these pages are NOT included in the search index. Meaning that the other meta tags are really useless. Any thoughts?
