Inbound Links To Deleted Pages
-
Hi,
I recently deleted some pages from my website and believe that there will be external inbound links pointing to these pages.
I would like to find them and put redirects in place - can anybody tell me how to use SEOMOZ to find where external links are poiting to moved/deleted pages
Thanks

I believe you should be able to see in the crawl diagnostics sections. Look for any 4xx (404) errors, this will indicate missing pages. Although I think you cna use Google Webmaster Tools and use the crawl diagnostics section which gives you a list of referring inbound links to the missing pages.
Of course the first thing you should do though is generate 301 redirects from the deleted pages to another page you want the inbound links pointed at.

Magento Dynamic Pages Being Indexed
Hi there, I have about 50k Moz medium priority errors in my Crawl Diagnostic report. The bulk of them are classified as "Temporary Redirect" problems. Then if you drill into those further, I can see that the problem urls all kinda are center around: mysite.com/catalogsearch/result.. mysite.com/wishlist.. mysite.com/catalog.. Is this something I should disallow in my Robstxt file? And if so how specific do I get with it.. Disallow /catalogsearch/result/?q= Will listing the /catalogsearch be enough to cover anything after it? thanks

Duplicate Page Title - although there are differences
Hello, I get duplicate page titles errors on pages in which there are little differences. For example: C++ Online Test for Seniors C# Online Test for Seniors I assume that from some reason the ++ and the # are removed when SEOMoz crawler checks for duplicate page titles. As you may know C# and C++ means two different programming languages. Should I do something about it or is it a bug in the crawler?

Advanced Link Report Different Link # than Total Links??
Hi, I've downloaded a csv report for links in "advanced reports" section. At the very top in blue OSE lists overall metrics, i.e. Domain Auth, Page Auth, Linking Root Domains, and then it lists "Total Links" at 1,769. When I download the advanced report in csv I have 505 total links in Excel. Why is there a difference between Total Links and what I have downloaded? What makes up the Total Links? The report I created included, "inbound links/linking pages, Types of Links: any; Links that come from: Any Page, Any IP; Links that link to: any page on subdomain; links with properties: any; Thanks!
