About NOFOLLOW tag for SEOmoz analysis
-
Hi all,
Another issue while trying to resolve all the duplicate content SEOmoz reports to me. May be some of you guys can help:
I have a dynamic error page on our website, generated in case of error, that can happen on many urls. Of course that one should not be indexed.
I added the following tag on the HEADER:
name="robots" content="NOODP,NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW" />
To me this should prevent from having this page indexed, but also from having this page reported by SEOmoz analyzer as duplicate content.
Any hints?

The error appear on a set of URLs that are not valid, and our CMS result an error (a bit like a 404 except that it is not a 404 but a url with bad parameters)
So all these url goes to the same error/warning page dynamically generated by the CMS but there is not a redirect. Something that can happen for instance on access denied for protected content.
My bet was to place this
<meta < span="">name="robots" content="NOODP,NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW" /> on this page.</meta <>
SEOmoz tools still report the error of duplicate content.
I could of course also set a canonical but I have no idea of which URL to use for it.
Exemple of link:

Sorry, I'm a little confused. Does the error page appear on the same URL of the page, or on it's own set of URLs.
In theory, the solution you described should work. I might also add a canonical to the head pointing to a single error URL.
That said, I'd love to take a look at it. If you'd like, feel free to share your site/URL, or private message me and I can take a look at the campaign.

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
