Does SeoMoz realize about duplicated url blocked in robot.txt?
-
Hi there:
Just a newby question...
I found some duplicated url in the "SEOmoz Crawl diagnostic reports" that should not be there.
They are intended to be blocked by the web robot.txt file.
Here is an example url (joomla + virtuemart structure):
http://www.domain.com/component/users/?view=registration
and the here is the blocking content in the robots.txt file
User-agent: *
_ Disallow: /components/_
Question is:
Will this kind of duplicated url errors be removed from the error list automatically in the future?
Should I remember what errors should not really be in the error list?
What is the best way to handle this kind of errors?
Thanks and best regards

Hello Franky,
Yes, our crawler obeys robots.txt files. If you recently made that change to your robots then it should reflect in your next crawl. If this error doesn't go away, feel free to let us know help@seomoz.org. Thanks for letting us know!

Don't be too worried about SEOMOZ's errors. Just be aware of them, and if you have done what you need to for the robots file in regards to S.E robots, they should take notice and there shouldn't be any issues. Always be sure to check GWT for errors, those are the ones you should fix asap.

Moz Crawl Report more urls?
Hi. I have used Moz Crawl Test and get my 3,000 urls crawled no issue. However, my site has more than that, is it possible to crawl the entire website? Alot of the crawl urls in the Moz test are search string urls and filters so Ive probably wasted about 2,500 urls on filter urls. Any advise or alternative software that wont cost a fortune?

Difference between Webmaster and SEOMoz back-link stats?
Hi there, I just noticed that there are differences between the links to my site showing on my Google Webmaster account and what is showing on my link analysis on SEOMoz. Has anyone noticed this? In webmaster I am showing 857 links to my site from 92 different domains. In SEOMoz I am showing 816 links to my site from 53 total linking root domains and only 39 followed domains? Does anyone know why this there is a difference? Are the links showing in Webmaster all indexed and followed links? Thanks in advance 🙂 Karl

Blogger Duplicate Content? and Canonical Tag
Hello: I previously asked this question, but I would love to get more perspectives on this issue. In Blogger, there is an archive page and label(s) page(s) created for each main post. Firstly, does Google, esp. considering Blogger is their product, possibly see the archive and tag pages created in addition to the main post as partial duplicate content? The other dilemma is that each of these instances - main post, archive, label(s) - claim to be the canonical. Does anyone have any insight or experience with this issue and Blogger and how Google is treating the partial duplicates and the canonical claims to the same content (even though the archives and label pages are partial?) I do not see anything in Blogger settings that allows altering these settings - in fact, the only choices in Blogger settings are 'Email Posting' and 'Permissions' (could it be that I cannot see the other setting options because I am a guest and not the blog owner?) Thanks so much everyone! PS - I was not able to add the blog as a campaign in SEOmoz Pro, which in and of itself is odd - and which I've never seen before - could this be part of the issue? Are Blogger free blogs not able to be crawled for some reason via SEOmoz Pro?

SEOmoz Crawl CSV in Excel: already split by semicolon. Is this Excel's fault or SEOmoz's?
If for example a page title contains a ë the .csv created by the SEOmoz Crawl Test is already split into columns on that point, even though I haven't used Excel's text to columns yet. When I try to do the latter, Excel warns me that I'm overwriting non-empty cells, which of course is something I would rather not do since that would make me lose valuable data. My question is: is this something caused by opening the .csv in Excel, or earlier in the process when this .csv is created?

SEOmoz bar causes FF to hang
I use FireFox as my browser on a Windows pc. When I close FF it rarely closes properly. The process is still visible in the task manager. I need to end the process to shut it down. After researching the issue I learned this problem is usually caused by an add-on. I disabled my add-ons one at a time and it is clearly the SEOmoz bar causing the issue. I can run every other add-on without any problem but if I use the mozbar but itself, the issue occurs. I plan to report this problem to the help desk but first I wanted to ask if others are experiencing the same issue. The more data that can be collected, the easier it will be to resolve the problem. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
