Getting multiple errors for domain.com/xxxx/xxxx/feed/feed/feed/feed...
-
A recent SEOMoz crawl report is showing a bunch 404's and duplicate page content on pages with urls like http://domain.com/categories/about/feed/feed/feed/feed/feed and on and on. This is a wordpress install. Does anyone know what could be causing this or why SEOMoz would be trying to read these non-existent feed pages?

Good insight. Thanks for your response. We'll dig a little deeper.

From all the WordPress sites I have scanned I find they have a lot of violations, the one of most concern is un-necessary redirects, that is where a link does not link directly to the destination, but 301 redirects to the destination. This leaks Link Juice, 15% I believe. Your site has 581 of these, and over 17,000 violations all up.
All CMS sites have violations, but the best I have found is
Orchard CMS, but even they are far from perfect, they have multiple H1 tags for example.
Matt Cutt’s site indeed does have a lot of violations.
The crawler I Use was made by Bing and finds the same violations as Bing, and according to them the near enough the same as Google.Matt himself has stated that Google itself has bad SEO, but they don’t encourage SEO really do they.

Wow, so grateful for your response but, really - Wordpress is not very SEO friendly? I've never heard that before. Matt Cutts would certainly disagree. What makes you say that?

I did a crawl with Bing SEO Toolkit
and get the same.
it reports page http://www.brandtailers.com/tag/feed/ The Web page contains the broken link 'http://www.brandtailers.com/tag/feed/feed/'.this is how Bing sees your web site, the fact that http://www.brandtailers.com/tag/feed/ does not exists is irelevant, thats what Bing is seeing and it means a violation.
Wordpress is technicaly not very SEO Freindly, that is the conclusion I have come to after crawling many wordpress sites

Does anyone know the linking of hashtags on Wix sites does it negatively or postively impact SEO. It is coming up as an error in site crawls 'Pages with 404 errors' Anyone got any experience please?
Does anyone know the linking of hashtags on Wix sites does it negatively or positively impact SEO. It is coming up as an error in site crawls 'Pages with 404 errors' Anyone got any experience please? For example at the bottom of this blog post https://www.poppyandperle.com/post/face-painting-a-global-language the hashtags are linked, but they don't go to a page, they go to search results of all other blogs using that hashtag. Seems a bit of a strange approach to me.

Trying to mark as fixed multiple errors on webmaster tools
We have 44,249 errors and I have set up for most of the URLs a 301 redirect. I know exactly which links are correctly redirected my problem is I don't want to mark as fixed each one individually. Is there a way to upload a URL list to webmaster tools and it automatically marks as fixed based on the list.

Best practice for multiple domain links
A site i'm working on has about 12 language domains - .es, it, .de etc. On each page of every domain the header has links to every homepage. At the moment these are all set to no-follow as an initial step to stop potential link profile issues spreading around. Moving forward i'm not totally sure how to handle these links. On one side I see and agree that no-follow is not necessary, but do-follow is just filtering out and weakening link juice. What is the best way to handle this scenario?

Registering expired domains
Hi there, I've found a good domain that is available for a new project. It has been expired for about 4 months or so. It has a couple of links, with the domain name as an anchor, nothing horrible. Will buying a domain like this be safe from an seo perspective? I'm guessing it would be treated the same as buying a new domain that has never been registered before, Would I be right? Peter

As the title states, our homepage is at "example.com/default.html" but everybody that backlinks to us (as expected) to "example.com" does that mean that I am probably losing a lot of the power of my links??
