I recently added wordpress to my site and get the following errors:

Duplicate Page Content

http://agrimapper.com/wordpress/

http://agrimapper.com/wordpress/index.php

How do I define the canonical page on a .php.

4XX (Client Error)

http://agrimapper.com/wordpress/index.phpindex.php

Any ideas where the 4XX error comes from.

Thanks.

Hi,

Try installing Yoast's SEO WordPress plugin. Read the documentation and set everything up and it'll sort these problems and more.

With regard to your 404 problem, download the csv file and look for the referrer column. This will show you where the link to the 404 page comes from.

Cheers,

PDF Instructions come up in Crawl report as Duplicate Content

Hello, My ecommerce site has many PDF instruction pages that are being marked as duplicate content in the site crawl. Each page has a different title, and then a PDF displayed in an iframe with a link back to the previous page & to the category that the product is placed in. Should I add text to the pages to help differentiate them? I included a screenshot of the code that is on all the pages. Thanks! Justin 9tD9HMr

Reducing number crawl-able links?

Hello, I just like to ask for best practice when it comes to reduce number of internal links on a site with a mega menu. Since the mega menu lists all categories and all their subcategories it creates a problem when all categories are linking to all categories directly.. Would the method below reduce the number of links and preventing the link juice flowing directly from category to category? [(link built with JavaScript and the html5 "data-" attribute) Thinking of using these links to categories in the menu not directly below the parent category.](#)

Wordpress Shortcodes Showing in SERPs

We use some Wordpress shortcodes in our theme and they aren't in the meta description at all. For certain queries, the shortcodes show on the SERPs when Google chooses the description for us -- is there any way to clean this up or prevent it? It's annoying because it includes the entire shortcode, not the markup that gets generated as a result of the shortcode...

Wordpress Pages vs. Posts

When building a blog to promote a particular affiliate offer, I usually like to use a static "page" homepage and then have my posts displayed on another part of my site. I've noticed that my wordpress pages almost always rank higher than wordpress posts and I can't explain it... Here are some possibilities I've thought of: XML Sitemap priority is set at 60% for pages and only 20% for posts My main navbar lists the pages which consequently means they get linked to on every page on my website. Some other phenomenon within the wordpress framework... If it helps, I use Thesis v1.8 on all my sites. I guess my ultimate question is: If pages do in fact rank higher than posts, is it worth it for me to go back and change the site structure on all my blogs which are using posts instead of pages. I know making major modifications like that can be disasterous but will it ultimately pay off? Thanks
