Can SEOMoz crawl a single page as oppose to an entire subfolder?
-
I would like the following page to be crawled:
http://www.ob.org/_programs/water/water_index.asp
Instead, SEOMoz changes the page to the following subfolder which is an invalid url:
-
Yes. I think that will solve your problem.

Collin,
The address:
http://www.ob.org/_programs/water/
is an invalid link that does not exist - it's something that SEOMoz created, assuming that the valid link, which is a single page, is under that subfolder. So what you suggest is creating a redirect from the invalid link to the single page, correct?
-
By Resolve, I mean that the URL in question actually needs to end up showing the user content and not be a blocked page.
If you go to this address:
http://www.ob.org/_programs/water/
it gets a 403 server error. I'm not sure how SEOmoz handles this, but my gut tells me you'd probably be safe to just 301 redirect that URL to the following:
http://www.ob.org/_programs/water/water_index.asp
However, if that doesn't work, you will need to add content to and allow users to browse that specific page.

Hi Collin.
Thanks for your feedback. Now when say "resolve", what does that actually mean?
-
According to their "Set up a Campaign" page, subfolder is as specific as it gets. They mention that the subfolder must be resolved in order to be crawled.
Alternatively, if you're mainly interested in on-page items, you can use the "on-page optimization" tool under "Research Tools" to grade specific pages on keywords. Though I would suggest just resolving your .../water/ to actually show a page, then crawl the whole subfolder.

An informational product page AND a shop page (for same brand)
Hi all, This is my first foray into e-commerce SEO. I'm working with a new client who sells upscale eBikes online. Since his products are expensive, he wants to have informational pages about the brands he sells eg. www.example.com/brand. However these brands are also category pages for his online shop eg. www.example.com/shop/brand I'm worried about keyword cannibalization and adding an extra step/click to get to the shop (right now the navigational menu takes you to the information page and from there you have to click to get to the shop) I'm pretty sure it would make more sense to have ONE killer shopping page that includes all the brand information but I want to be 100% sure before I advise him to take this big step. Thoughts?

Strange Crawl Report
Hey Moz Squad, So I have kind of strange case. My website locksmithplusinc.com has been around for a couple years. I have had all sorts of pages and blogs that have maybe ranked for a certain location a longtime ago and got deleted so I could speed up the site and consolidate my efforts. I said that because I think that might be part of the problem. When I was crawl reporting my site just three weeks ago on moz I had over 23 crawl report issues. Duplicate pages, missing meta tags the regular stuff. But now all of a sudden when I crawl report on MOZ it comes up with Zero issues. So I did another crawl On google analytic and this is what came up. SO im very confused because none of these url's are even url's on my site. So maybe people are searching for this stuff and clicking on broken links that are still indexed and getting this 404 error? What do you guys think? Thank you guys so much for taking a shot at this one. siS44ug

Each subdomain being redirected back to a single page such as bobshardware.com.au/brisbane-screw-drivers etc. Is there a benefit ? Cheers

Too Many On Page LInk
The analysis of my site is showing that I have a problem with too many on-page links. Most of this is due to our menu, and wanting users to be able to quickly get to the shopping category they are looking for. We end up with over 200 links in order to get the menu we want. How are other people dealing with a robust menu, but avoiding getting dinged for too many links? One of our pages in question is: http://www.milosport.com/category/2176-snowboards.aspx

SEOMoz is finding jpegs on my site and reporting them as pages with missing meta titles
SEOMoz has just done a crawl of my site, and found 600 pages with missing meta title errors. When I have checked the list of these pages, they are all jpegs and not pages. Why is SEOMoz reporting that this .jpg files have missing meta titles on my site, which is www.webmakercms.com? SEOMoz has run several crawls of my site and this is the first time it has brought up this list of jpegs as errors and I don't understand why?

Can I noindex most of my site?
A large number of the pages on my site are pages that contain things like photos and maps that are useful to my visitors, but would make poor landing pages and have very little written content. My site is huge. Would it be benificial to noindex all of these?
