Woocommerce filter urls showing in crawl results, but not indexed?
-
I'm getting 100's of Duplicate Content warnings for a Woocommerce store I have. The urls are
etcThese don't seem to be indexed in google, and the canonical is for the shop base url. These seem to be simply urls generated by Woocommerce filters.
Is this simply a false alarm from Moz crawl?

Hi Justin:
I have a client with this problem. All of the filter URLs are crawled by Moz, show as duplicate content in Moz, have 302 warnings in Moz. All of them canonical back to their respective category pages. None appear on WMT/Search Console, but doing a similar "site:URL" search on Google shows they are indexed. I'm curious what you've done in the last year to resolve this? Or have you only tried to resolve via Sitemap submission, and did that work for you? Thank you!

Just an fyi for anyone who is using the Woocommerce and Yoast plugin, you can remove the additional features, custom attributes, and other Taxonomies that you may not want indexed via XML Sitemaps - Taxonomies.

I see now, thank you good sir! The answer to that question is likely "no" Now to hunt for a solution in the WordPress/Woocommerce/Yoast environment.

Hmmm thank you for the feedback. Google is not indexing these though...
If I google a phrase "egardwatches.com filter 128" to find this url -http://www.egardwatches.com/shop/?filter_additional-features=128 -
It does not appear in Google results, and it has the ? query indicator, which should tell Google it is dynamic?
Are you sure this isn't an issue with Moz crawl only?
How can it be duplicate content if it isn't even indexed?

Listing of all Google Indexed Pages
I started managing a site that has about 391,000 indexed pages. I want to get to the bottom of why there are so many in preparation for a ecommerce Migration and improving SEO. Anyone know of a tool? Many tools I have came across can only take 100 at a time. I would love to get them in excel or a database. I look forward to the suggestions.

Crawl Diagnostics - Crawling way more pages than my site has?
Hello all, I'm fairly new here, more of a paid search guy dabbling in SEO on the side. I have a client that I have in SEOMoz and the Crawl Diagnostics report is showing 10,000+ pages crawled and I think the site has at most 800 pages (e-commerce site using freewebstore.org as the platform). Any reasons this would be happening?

How to use Crawl Report for a test directory
I have a client's new site set up in a folder that is not linked to from the main site. When setting up the Crawl Report, I put in the starting url for the new folder, http://oldsite.com/new/start.php. The Crawl Report came back with a crawl of the current site instead. How do folks run the crawl report to test sites before they are public? Thanks!

SEOMoz only crawling 5 pages of my website
Hello, I've added a new website to my SEOmoz campaign tool. It only crawls 5 pages of the site. I know the site has way more pages then this and also has a blog. Google shows at least 1000 results indexed. Am I doing something wrong? Could it be that the site is preventing a proper crawl? Thanks Bill

How can I clean up my crawl report from duplicate records?
I am viewing my Crawl Diagnostics Report. My report is filled with data which really shouldn't be there. For example I have a page: http://www.terapvp.com/forums/Ghost/ This is a main forum page. It contains a list of many threads. The list can be sorted on many values. The page is canonicalized, and has been since it was created. My crawl report shows this page listed 15 times. http://www.terapvp.com/forums/Ghost/?direction=asc http://www.terapvp.com/forums/Ghost/?direction=desc http://www.terapvp.com/forums/Ghost/?order=post_date and so forth. Each of those pages uses the same canonicalization reference shared above. I have three questions: Why is this data appearing in my crawl report? These pages are properly canonicalized. If these pages are supposed to appear in the report for some reason, how can I remove them? My desire is to focus on any pages which may have an issue which needs to be addressed. This site has about 50 forum pages and when you add an extra 15 pages per forum, it becomes a lot harder to locate actionable data. To make matters worse, these forum indexes often have many pages. So if I have a "Corvette" forum there that is 10 pages long, then there will be 150 extra pages just for that particular forum in my crawl report. Is there anything I am missing? To the best of my knowledge everything is set up according to the best SEO practices. If there is any other opinions, I would like to hear them.
