Seomoz crawling filtered pages
-
Hi,
I just checked an seo campaign we started last week, so I opened seomoz to see the crawl diagnostics.
Lot's of duplicate content & duplicate titles showing up, but that's because Rogerbot is crawling all of the filtered pages as well. How do I exclude these pages from being crawled?
/product/brand-x/3969?order=brand&sortorder=ASC
/product/brand-x/3969?order=popular&sortorder=ASC
/product/brand-x/3969?order=popular&sortorder=DESC&page=10
/product/brand-x/3969?order=popular&sortorder=DESC&page=11 -
So if the site has a structure like this:
and the filter on this page has several options like /?order= , ?brand=, .... I have to rel-canonical them al to www.xyz.com/overview
-
I'd rel-canonical if you can, as theres still nothing stopping links to them being indexed. It might stop Rodger/Google from crawling them, but the potential indexation issues won't go away. Otherwise perhaps no-index them.
I'd usualy go as far to do re-prev and rel-next for the paginated searches as well.
-
Rel-canonical will be an immense job, would it be ok using robots.txt like this
disallow: /?order=
disallow: /?sortorder=
...
?
-
Last I checked, Rodger obays robot.txt and meta-robot commands as he trys to simulate what google would crawl. If he can crawl those pages, google probably is as well.
I think if you rel-canonical them properly, or no-idex them properly e.t.c. It should show as a normal page.

SEOMoz Campaign shows Warnings for pages with >200 and <300 links
We currently use SEOMoz's campaign tool to review the SEO progress of our site. One thing we are unsure of is that SEOMoz gives us a warning for over 1000 of our pages because we have around 200 links on those pages (all in the Menu Drop Downs). I read the post and watched the video, Whiteboard Friday Flat Site Architecture a while ago and Rand mentioned there is no issue with having a web page with 200 to 300 links and he even encouraged it. So why would these show up as warnings in our Campaign?
