20000 site errors and 10000 pages crawled.
-
I have recently built an e-commerce website for the company I work at.
Its built on opencart.
Say for example we have a chair for sale. The url will be:
www.domain.com/best-offers/cool-chair
Thats fine, seomoz is crawling them all fine and reporting any errors under them url great.
On each product listing we have several options and zoom options (allows the user to zoom in to the image to get a more detailed look).
When a different zoom type is selected it adds on to the url, so for example:
www.domain.com/best-offers/cool-chair?zoom=1
and there are 3 different zoom types. So effectively its taking for urls as different when in fact they are all one url. and Seomoz has interpreted it this way, and crawled 10000 pages(it thinks exist because of this) and thrown up 20000 errors.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

(ha, who know the endorsement was limited to 3 lines of text?)
As I was saying... Every time a parameter is added to the url, such as zoom=1, it technically becomes another URL.
Canoncicals for the win
Best of luck!

You need to use a rel-canonical tag. You can read a really informative post by Rand on it here:
This thread has some good opencart-specific advice regarding implementation:

Not all pages are being crawled
I am set up on the PRO plan, I was under the impression that it would crawl up to 10,000 pages. My site has just over 200 pages, but whenever I am crawled it only crawls 121 pages. Is this normal? It's hard to know how reliable my data is because a significant amount of pages are missing.

On Page Analysis and Grading
I received an email that my on page analysis for my campaigns were completed. But when I click on the link there are no grades there. What does that mean? Another question on this topic....when your campaign is graded are pages graded on all the keywords in the campaign or is each keyword graded invidividually? Thanks!

How do I get the Page Authority of individual URLs in my exported (CSV) crawl reports?
I need to prioritize fixes somehow. It seems the best way to do this would be to filter my exported crawl report by the Page Authority of each URL with an error/issue. However, Page Authority doesn't seem to be included in the crawl report's CSV file. Am I missing something?
