Why do I suddenly have so many more page errors?
-
I've been working diligently to remove page errors that appear after each scan of my website. I was down to 3 or 4 errors after the last crawl, now this week I'm getting 80 plus. I haven't changed anything since last week (page titles, etc.) so what's up?
-
Hey, thanks! I'll talk with my programmers to see what's up.
-
You only need the https on the page that accepts credit cards, not the whole site.
-
Thanks Alan.
We do accept credit cards so the https is necessary. I'll look into the canonical tags and see what I can do.
-
I dcant tell you, they obviously did not crawl the whole site the first time. If you are new, then that would be the case as they only do a quick crawl the first time.
the above problem you show, needs a canonical tag to fix it.
Also is there a reason for using https? this encrypts the page, making it slower, if you are nort handling credit cards i would not use https
-
Okay, here's the scoop. Last week I showed 4 pages with duplicate page content (all contact forms for different purposes) and 4 pages with missing or duplicate page titles. I fixed the page titles by giving each of the 4 pages a unique title.
This week, I have 26 pages with duplicate content and 73 with duplicate page titles. Here's a sample of what I got:
Teak Products for Boats : Teakworks4u
http://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?xid_3ccf5=45aab4acddfd1537ff7b65905a3d88ac
The report says there are 38 pages with the same page title. Here is a sampling:
https://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?sort=price&page=2
https://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?sort=price&page=2
https://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?sort=price&page=3
https://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?page=2&sort=title&sort_direction=1
Why are these showing up all of a sudden? I haven't changed anything other than what I mentioned above.It makes no sense to me that this would start to show up now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A url would be helpfull.
its hard to say without knowing the rros and the errors you fixed, some times fixing errors makes it posible for the crawler to find others it could not crawl previously.

Locating Duplicate Pages
Hi, Our website consists of approximately 15,000 pages however according to our Google Webmaster Tools account Google has around 26,000 pages for us in their index. I have run through half a dozen sitemap generators and they all only discover the 15,000 pages that we know about. I have also thoroughly gone through the site to attempt to find any sections where we might be inadvertently generating duplicate pages without success. It has been over six months since we did any structural changes (at which point we did 301's to the new locations) and so I'd like to think that the majority of these old pages have been removed from the Google Index. Additionally, the number of pages in the index doesn't appear to be going down by any discernable factor week on week. I'm certain it's nothing to worry about however for my own peace of mind I'd like to just confirm that the additional 11,000 pages are just old results that will eventually disappear from the index and that we're not generating any duplicate content. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a way to download a list of the 26,000 pages that Google has indexed so that I can compare it against our sitemap. Obviously I know about site:domain.com however this only returned the first 1,000 results which all checkout fine. I was wondering if anybody knew of any methods or tools that we could use to attempt to identify these 11,000 extra pages in the Google index so we can confirm that they're just old pages which haven’t fallen out of the index yet and that they’re not going to be causing us a problem? Thanks guys!

What do you do with old web pages?
I have a wordpress blog that I've made a ton of changes to. I have about a dozen pages on it that have old information or I no longer have a use for. In retrospect, I probably should have used the old pages for new content instead of building new pages. Should I just leave them on the site with no links to them, should I mark them as noindex, or should I delete them? I think some of the old pages could be completing with my new pages for ranking due to similar content. Website is: http://continuumweddings.com if you'd like to check out my site. Thanks, Melissa

Too Many On-Page Links on a Directory type website?
Hi there, I run a website which is a directory therefore there are a lot of On-Page links. If you take a look at the site, www.south-african-hotels.com, you will see there are a number of links on all pages which are completely relevant. I'm not sure what to remove as everything is relevant. The top navigation is available throughout and that alone has 120 links in it to give users easy access to information. Do I ignore the Too many On-Page links suggestion or do I change something? Any suggestions welcome! Thank you in advance!

If I have too many on-page links can I reduce it with nofollow tags or do the links have to be removed?
On my site I have a top nav drop down menu but once visitors go to one particularly large subsection, that menu is repeated on the left for easier viewing. As a result, I shoot over 100 links on page. Can I put nofollow or noindex tags on the left side links and reduce my "official" on-page links count or do I have to actually eliminate some of the links? Thanks, Oak

Https and secure pages
Hello, I have a facebook badge in my footer. Is it okay if I make the code call on https. It makes the page secure for IE. I have also have done this for images. These secure urls are also being called on non secure pages. But I don't think that matters does it? Code below. Thanks Tyler
