SEO Web Crawler - Referrer Lists XML Sitemap URL

Moz Pro

MorpheusMedia last edited by

Hello!,

I recently ran the crawl tool on a client site. Opening up the file, I noticed that the referring URLs listed are my XML sitemaps and not (X)HTML pages.

Any reason or thoughts behind why this is happening?

Thanks!

Meta no index crawler warnings

I've decided that the duplicate content issues on my site weren't worth the effort from the amount of traffic the archive pages on my WordPress site received no I decided to no-index them using Yoast. Now I have 60 meta no-index crawler warnings. Should I just ignore these? It seems I get warnings, either way, I use the site. Does anyone have advice on how to move on with this?

Sitemap Best Practices

My question is regarding the URL structure best practices of a sitemap. My website allows search any number of ways, i.e. 1. http://www.website.com/category/subcategory/product 2. http://www.website.com/subcategory/product 3. http://www.website.com/product However, I am not sure which structure to use in the sitemap (which is being written manually). I know that for SEO purposes the 3rd option is best as the link is more relevant to that individual product, but the Moz tool states that the home page should have less than 100 links (although Google doesn't penalise for having more) and by writing my entire site in the 3rd way it would result in a lot more links adjoining to the home page. It is either the 2nd or 3rd option, I think, as the 1st category is not keyword specific (rather a generic term, i.e. novelties). Does anyone have experience with this?

SEOmoz crawler not crawling my site

We set up a new campaign in SEOmoz on Friday. It is my understanding that the preliminary crawl can cover up to 250 and this has been our experience in the past. However, the preliminary crawl only went through 2 pages. This is a larger eCommerce site with many pages. Any ideas why more pages weren't crawled? We set up the campaign to track at the root domain level.

Seo affordable company

Hi, my website is www.theprinterdepo.com We want to hire a seo company that does everything together and can help me to increase visitors. I am a truly believer that SEO is the best way to improve sales, we did seo in the past but my boss only liked to do it for 6 months, so we went from 8,000 visits to 25,000 visits in 6 months, but after stopping the contract, visits went down again. Sales also increased and decreased in the same way during that time. I need a SEO Company which I can afford for a long term projec and that can help me beat my competitors in my niche. (printers, printer accesories, printer parts, printer toners, etc), 70% of our items are refurbished, but we also sell new ones pretty well. So ranking for the keyword refurbished printers only is not enough. We have about 12,000 visits per month and our goal is to go to 25,000 in 3 months, 50,000 in 6 months, and 100,000 in one year. I think this is pretty doable, do you? I wonder if someone in the forum can recommend me one good seo company that can give us a full integrated seo solution/quote, and that we can afford. I would be welcome to hire maybe seos that are starting their own company if there is proven success or something, sometimes big company names charge a lot.

"no urls with duplicate content to report"

Hi there, i am trying to clean up some duplicate content issues on a website. The crawl diagnostics says that one of the pages has 8 other URLS with the same content. When i click on the number "8" to see the pages with duplicate content, i get to a page that says "no urls with duplicate content to report". Why is this happening? How do i fix it?
