Wordpress sitemap url problem causing WMT errors
-
The following types of links are appearing in my webmaster tools crawl errors report under 'other'. I've noticed they are in my sitemaps ( I run wordpress and use a plugin called Google XML sitemaps). How do I get rid of this error?

I would suggest checking your permalink structure. Go to Settings>>permalinks. I typically use the custom structure and just add /%postname%/ . If you are using a custom structure make sure it is correct.
That being said, After visiting your site I don't even see a "bands page" so you might want to also go through your source code and and see if there is an old link that didn't get removed. I found one today on a clients site. It was in a slider. So i just removed the link from the slider itself.
Good luck hope that helps

Potential new URL structure for my ecommerce site
At the moment my site suffers from a flat product category structure where over 600 items fall into one category alone. This category is then filtered using a faceted search which appends query strings to the category URL and changes the products displayed on the page. At the moment our product category URL is as follows, www.domain.com/category/greeting-cards and this holds all cards including occasions such as anniversary, birthdays etc and also themes such as animal cards, contemporary cards etc I have proposed changes to my developer to change this structure to include subcategories. I can now go two subcategories deep. For example, "greeting cards > occasions > birthday cards" or "greeting cards > themes > animals". This is reflected in the new URL structure, which has been proposed, www.domain.com/greeting-cards/occasions/birthday-cards. In this URL do I need "occasions" in the URL as I don't think it adds much value to the user? Would I be better of having www.domain.com/greeting-cards/birthday-cards. If a user searches for "birthday cards" then I think this would be more relevant?

How does Google handle read more tags in Wordpress
Hi Everyone I am wondering how Google handles the read more tag in Wordpress. I pasted the link to a blog post on Google and found nothing (domain.com/post#readmore). Then I paste the version without #readmore (domain.com/post) and found that Google indexed the page but with the option to click "read more" to read it. The full blog post is not in their index, just the version asking you to read more. Is this because Google hasn't gotten to it or is Google ignoring it. I am not sure but ideally I rather have the full blog post indexed, not the read more version. I am curious to whether this will cause duplicate content issues. What are your experience with this and is it advisable to use an alternate method for read more. Maybe with a Wordpress plugin. Thanks in advance.

Break in H1 tag - big, small or no problem?
Hi, I've just taken on a new ski client who offers ski instructor courses. The landing page for the keyword [ski instructor courses] was created by the web agency but with no heading tags... http://www.snowrehab.com/ski-instructor-courses Subsequently they've put them in but I've noticed the H1 tag has a break in it where 'ski' is on a separate line to 'instructor courses' Is this an issue that need to be addressed? Also I can't look up the page in the Moz on-page grader - any ideas why? Many thanks! Richard

Is that a problem for indexing?
Hi all, I have an issue driving me crazy thant I think it could be impacting in the SERPs. My site has a spanish version "www.tarifakitesurfcamp" and an english version "www.tarifakitesurfcamp.com/en". These two "pages" in the CMS ("inicio" and "home") have the same title and the same description tag (in spanish) as the plugin ALL in one SEO only allows me to write one unique title and description for the home page via GENERAL OPTIONS (there's an option for "home title" and for "home description").. If a try to assign a title and a description individually for each page it doesn't work (I can't see the titles and description in the source code" of those pages. On the other hand, there's another page that is http://www.tarifakitesurfcamp.com/?attachment_id= which I can't locate in the CMS within pages section. This page has the same tittle and description as well. Could anyone give me a solution? Thanks.

2 Question about URL structure
Hello guys 1 - I have a question about the best structure for URLs from the point of view of SEO: Is it OK to use the URL as mywebsite.com.br/long-tail-article Or is better this mywebsite.com.br/category/long-tail-article 2 - When part of my keyword is already in my "category", for example: mywebsite.com.br/digital-marketing/digital-marketing-is-good I leave it as it is, or in the following way: mywebsite.com.br/digital-marketing-is-good NOTE: Do not take into account that this URL would be different from other URLs in this category

On-Page Report Card refresh problem
I have noticed that on the On-Page Report Card, refresh does not work at all. Namely, when I make a change after receiving a suggestion, it does not change at all. I remember that option worked almost instantly before which helped me make an optimized page quickly. Also, I have seen that meta tags are not desirable and when I want to remove them, I have quotation marks left instead of meta keywords and an error reported. These are the most important issues for now, especially the refreshing issue since I tried deleting data from cash memory and all the other available options such as changing the browser etc. I have also tried deleting key words and repeating the grading on on-page report card but had no results. Exiting SEOmoz and re-entering also gave no results. Kasa
