To fix the Title element from being to long, you'll want to edit your <title>tag in the header of your website. If you use Wordpress, you can try getting a plugin to help you manage this. Most people suggest either <strong>Yoast's WordPress SEO</strong> or <strong>All-in-One SEO</strong>. If you use Joomla to manage your website, I suggest <strong>TagsMeta</strong> for all your meta needs (supports canonical URLS too.) If your website is hard-coded from scratch, then just head on over to your Title tag and make sure it's under 70 characters.</p> <p><br />Duplicate Content. Make sure certain pages don't contain to much of the same content from other pages on your site (or other sites in general.) You can check for duplicate content in many ways.</p> <ol> <li>Grab a snippet of text on your site and do a quick Google search for it to see if your content exists on another website.</li> <li>Grab that same snippet and do a site:yourdomain.com "the copied text here" to see if you are getting multiple pages indexed with the same content</li> <li>Make sure you have a 301 redirect on your domain so the site is only accessible from www.yourdomain.com <strong>or</strong> yourdomain.com. Otherwise you may be getting the same page indexed because it's accessible from both yourdomain.com and WWW version of the page.</li> </ol> <p>Duplicate Page Title - fix that while updating your title tags, make sure all your title tags are targeting keywords specific for the page they are on, and make sure you use unique title tags as often as possible.</p> <p> </p></title>

Dealing with Expired & Reoccurring Content At Scale
Hello, I have a question concerning maintenance & pruning content with a large site that has a ton of pages that are either expired OR reoccurring. Firstly, there's ~ 12,000 pages on the site. They have large sections of the site that have individual landing pages for time-sensitive content, such as promotions and shows. They have TONS of shows every day, so the # of page to manage keeps exponentially increasing. Show URLs: I'm auditing the show URLs and looking at pages that have backlinks. With those, I am redirecting to the main show pages.

-However, there are significant # of show URLs that are from a few years ago (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015) that DON'T get traffic or have any backlinks (or ranking keywords). Can I delete these pages entirely from the site, or should I go through the process of 410-ing them (and then deleting? or ...?)Can you let 410's sit?)? They are in the XML sitemap right now, so they get crawled, but are essentially useless, and I want to cut off the dead weight, but I'm worried about deleting a large # of pages from the site at once. For show URLs that are still obsolete, but rank well in terms of kewyords and get some traffic...is there any recommended option? Should I bother adding them to a past shows archive section or not since they are bringing in a LITTLE traffic? Or ax them since it's such a small amount of traffic compared to what they get from the main pages. There are URLs that are orphaned and obsolete right now, but will reoccur. For instance, when an artist performs, they get their own landing page, they may acquire some backlinks and rank, but then that artist doesn't come back for a few months. The page just sits there, orphaned and in the XML sitemap. However, regardless of back-links/keywords, the page will come back eventually. Is there any recommended way to maintain this kind of situation? Again, there are a LOT of URLs in this same boat. Promotional URLs: I'm going about the same process for promotions and thankfully, the scale of hte issue is much less. However, same question as above...they have some promotional URLs, like NYE Special Menu landing pages or Lent-Specials, etc, for each of their restaurants. These pages are only valid for a short amount of time each year, and otherwise, are obsolete. I want to reuse the pages each year, though, but don't want them to just sit there in the XML sitemap. Is there ever an instance where I might want to 302 redirect them, and then remove the 302 for the short amount of time they are valid? I'm not AS concerned about the recycled promotional URLs. There are much fewer URLs in this category. However, as you can probably tell, this large site has this problem of reoccurring content throughout, and I'd like to get a plan in place to clean it up and then create rules to maintain. Promotional URLs that reoccur are smaller, so if they are orphaned, not the end of the world, but there are thousands of show URLs with this issue, so I really need to determine the best play here. Any help is MUCH appreciated!0 -
803 errors
I asked the person who manages my server to take a look into my 803 errors. But he does not find anything in the logs. Is there a way to find out what causes these errors. And what is meant with 803 error in Search Engine blocked by robots.txt column?

Badges & SEO
Hello, Moz Community! We're working on creating an affiliate badge for events that make our best-of list and we're wondering: if every event website embedded the badge (could be as many as 70), would having the same image hosting URL for each one raise concerns with Google? Thanks!

Discontinuing a site & Redirecting Traffic to an Internal Page
We are wondering the best way to redirect the traffic from a site that will no longer exist. The Scenario:
Technical SEO | | TopFloor
Our client wants to discontinue this website http://www.animalcarepackaging.com/. We’d like to redirect the traffic from this site to an internal page on our client's other website: http://www.glenroy.com/packaging/. This internal page is the most appropriate to the content that appears on animalcarepackaging.com (as opposed to just the entire site glenroy.com). Possible Options We Are Considering:
Option 1: Keep hosting animalcarepackaging.com and add a 301 redirect for all pages to glenroy.com/packaging/. Our concern with this option is that Google/Bing will see animalcarepackaging.com as a gateway, which could hurt glenroy.com. Option 2: Keep hosting animalcarepackaging.com and add a 301 redirect so all pages are sent to glenroy.com/packaging/; AND file a change of address with Google and Bing. We believe this will allow people who have bookmarked animalcarepackaging.com to go to glenroy.com/packaging/; while people searching for animalcarepackaging.com will go to glenroy.com's home page. We would augment this by posting a message on the homepage of animalcarepackaging.com notifiying users that the site will be discontinued and info will be found at glenroy.com/packaging. Option 3: Do a change of address with Google/Bing and send all traffic to glenroy.com (rather than an internal page). Post information on the homepage of animalcarepackaging.com that the site will be discontinued on X-date, and info about animalcarepackaging.com will be able to be found at glenroy.com/packaging. Looking for feedback on our options and suggestions on how this can be handled.0 -
4xx error - but no broken links founded by Xenu
In my SeoMoz crawl report I get multiple 4XX errors reported and they are all on the same type of links. www.zylom.com/nl/help/contact/9/ and differiate between the number at the end and the language. But I i look in the source code we nice said: <a class="<a class="attribute-value">bigbuttonblue</a>" style="<a class="attribute-value">float:right; margin-left:10px;</a>" href="[/nl/help/contact/9/?sid=9&e=login](view-source:http://www.zylom.com/nl/help/contact/9/?sid=9&e=login)" onfocus="<a class="attribute-value">blur()</a>" title="<a class="attribute-value">contact</a>"> contact a> I already tested the little helpfull tool Xenu, but this also doesn't give any broken links for the url's which I found in the 4xx error report. Could somebody give me a suggestion Why these 4xx errors keep coming? Could it be that the SeoMoz crawlers break the part ?sid=9&e=login' from the URL. Because if you want to enter the link, you first get a pop-up to fill in a login screen. Thanks for you answers already
