901 error code showing url back to back in crawl
-
Hi Everyone,
I'm absolutely dumbfounded about this 901 issue (showing pages with our url back to back). Our site is hosted on Big Commerce: https://www.santabarbarachocolate.com
When I look for these pages being crawled I don't find them.
I've called BC for help and I can't seem to find a solution or where to turn as to how to fix the issue at hand or even if it matters. Please see below what the Moz crawl shows. Could this be related to Yotpo or some app we have running? Or does this even matter and does it have any influence on rank?
Do you have recommendations or ideas?
Thanks so much.

An error in the crawler is a possiblity. Although i'm not that familiar with the MOZ-crawler so i have to be careful
Have you considered issues where the URL is not actually written back to back in the code where you can see it? But where the crawler might get the impression that it has to written back to back? For instance in JavaScript/jQuery or similar techniques?
Good luck!

Thank you so much Kevin. I will complete this now.

Hi Bas,
No, the url isn't written back to back anywhere that I can find. I've scanned the whole site multiple times and gone through all content. For a while I thought this is some weird canonicalization issue. But to no avail. No other errors in search console or Ahrefs. Moz is maybe finding a super deep error or this is some error happening in the scan?

Hi Jason,
Can you send us your information to help@moz.com so that we can investigate this further?
Thanks!

Hi Jason,
Could it be that someone accidentally has written the URL this way? Perhaps you have someone working on the content for this site who wrote the URL this way?
Do you also have this error in other tools, like Google Webmaster Tools?
Greets,
Bas

As an example: https://www.abthermal.com/3m-70-70hdt-self-fusing-silicone-rubber-electrical-tape.html Moz has flagged this as URL too long... but guideline is that happens at 75 characters or more? I count 55..?? or does the 75 limit have to include the domain? Thanks, Adrian

How do I interpret Duplicate Content in a Crawl Report, when it only gives me a URL? How do I know what is duplicated on that page somewhere else?
I need help interpreting the Crawl Report for Duplicate Content. It gives me the URLs of pages that have duplicate content, but how do I know what content exactly is duplicated elsewhere? And how do I figure out where it is duplicated? Also, are there Moz Analytics articles or videos teaching you how to use each component of the analytics programs? Thanks!

High Number of Crawl Errors for Blog
Hello All, We have been having an issue with very high crawl errors on websites that contain blogs. Here is a screenshot of one of the sites we are dealing with: http://cl.ly/image/0i2Q2O100p2v . Looking through the links that are turning up in the crawl errors, the majority of them (roughly 90%) are auto-generated by the blog's system. This includes category/tag links, archived links, etc. A few examples being: http://www.mysite.com/2004/10/ http://www.mysite.com/2004/10/17/ http://www.mysite.com/tagname As far as I know (please correct me if I'm wrong!), search engines will not penalize you for things like this that appear on auto-generated pages. Also, even if search engines did penalize you, I do not believe we can make a unique meta tag for auto-generate pages. Regardless, our client is very concerned seeing these high number of errors in the reports, even though we have explained the situation to him. Would anyone have any suggestions on how to either 1) tell Moz to ignore these types of errors or 2) adjust the website so that these errors now longer appear in the reports? Thanks so much! Rebecca
