Blog Categories
-
My website is hosted by Hubspot. They provide a blog area and the option to categorize (tag) your blogs such as most popular, most recent, by year and month. On the blog "home page," they also list 10 complete articles scrolling down the page. I have about 150 blogs so there are about 15 of these long pages.
In my moz report, I have a list of pages with excessive links. They are, without exception, the pages with categories or the pages with 10 articles listed. In other words, they are pages that contain a lot of blog articles.
Questions:
Should I ignore these moz warnings?
Should I disallow these pages with robots.txt?
Are these category areas of a blog a bad Idea and should be removed?
Any other suggestions?Thanks,

I don't know Hubspot that well because all my blogging experience is with Wordpress... I'd assume Hubspot may have a way in the backend similar to Wordpress to change the page layout to snippets instead of the full article (which should cut down on the long scroll, lessen dupe content issues & excessive links) and a way to change the amount of articles to show on one page. Hopefully someone with more Hubspot experience chimes in but while you're waiting I'd double check any layout options you have the ability to tweak to see if those could help you.

I have an issue with hubspot's blog platform and duplicate content.
It is redirecting all https to http and I am unable to change it, resulting in a lot of duplicate content. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, did you find a solution? Or does anyone have any suggestions?

Multiple Blogs with Google Blogger
Is there a way to migrate multiple Google Blogger blogs together into one? Even better, would it be better to add the content to my main site blog? If so how can I do that without copying each article and adding to main site blog then deactivating the google blogs.

Adding new categories to my website and getting them ranked
Hi, I currently run a website and have added a couple of new categories lately. The website is Planes Trains Automobiles Co UK. For example I want to add "Planes for sale" as a new category. What is the best way to go about this? Will each aircraft added add content therefore ranking? I don't want to approach an SEO company yet as the service would be free for the time being? Thanks

When I add meta data and a canonical reference to my blog tags for my on-site blog which works using a wordpress.org template, Roger generates errors of duplicate content. How can I avoid this problem? I want to use up to 5 tags per post, with the same canonical reference and each campaign scan generates errors/warnings for me!
