Seomoz crawling filtered pages
-
Hi,
I just checked an seo campaign we started last week, so I opened seomoz to see the crawl diagnostics.
Lot's of duplicate content & duplicate titles showing up, but that's because Rogerbot is crawling all of the filtered pages as well. How do I exclude these pages from being crawled?
/product/brand-x/3969?order=brand&sortorder=ASC
/product/brand-x/3969?order=popular&sortorder=ASC
/product/brand-x/3969?order=popular&sortorder=DESC&page=10
/product/brand-x/3969?order=popular&sortorder=DESC&page=11 -
So if the site has a structure like this:
and the filter on this page has several options like /?order= , ?brand=, .... I have to rel-canonical them al to www.xyz.com/overview
-
I'd rel-canonical if you can, as theres still nothing stopping links to them being indexed. It might stop Rodger/Google from crawling them, but the potential indexation issues won't go away. Otherwise perhaps no-index them.
I'd usualy go as far to do re-prev and rel-next for the paginated searches as well.
-
Rel-canonical will be an immense job, would it be ok using robots.txt like this
disallow: /?order=
disallow: /?sortorder=
...
?
-
Last I checked, Rodger obays robot.txt and meta-robot commands as he trys to simulate what google would crawl. If he can crawl those pages, google probably is as well.
I think if you rel-canonical them properly, or no-idex them properly e.t.c. It should show as a normal page.

ERROR: Too Many on-page links!
User wise, my product menu @LEDSupply.com is user friendly, but I'm concerned that it might be seen by crawlers as bad because of the TOO MANY ON-PAGE LINKS error I am getting in my moz crawl report. Is it really counting all the links in every drop-down menu? If so, is there are resource on how to fix it????

Third crawl of my sites back to 250 pages
Hi all, I've been waiting some days for the third crawl of my sites, but SEOMOZ only crawled 277 pages. The next phrase appeared on my crawl report: Pages Crawled: 277 | Limit: 250 My last 2 crawls were of about 10K limit. Any idea? Kind regards, Simon.

SEOmoz ranking report SERP
I was wondering how SEOmoz the SERPs tracks? e.g. the SERP of keyword in the Google US report, doesn't give me the same result as https://www.google.com/search?pws=0&gl=us&q=keyword Does SEOmoz check the google.com SERPs from several locations and calculate an average?

Only 1 page has been crawled. Why?
I set a new profile up a fortnight ago. Last week seomoz crawled the entire site (10k pages), and this week has only crawled 1 page. Nothing's changed on the site that I'm aware of, so what's happened?

Campaign Not Crawling
I set up my first 5 campaigns and one is not crawling beyond one-page. It's been over 48 hours. This site has nearly 3.500 pages the others much less, however, this shouldn't make any difference. I searched for the problem and couldn't find it so I hope this question isn't redundant. Comments and advice would be appreciated.
