Crawl erros I don't understand
-
Hi all, after my website is crawled SEMOZ has alerted me about some errors (28 exactly) with the same problem:
At the end of the URL you can see "Piensa_Piensa" which I haven't added at all.
It's present in all URLs that have reported as error by SEOMOZ.
The CMS that has been used to create the website is wordpress.
what does it mean?
Many thanks

It's one hell of a Swiss Army knife for webmasters & SEOs huh? Another big fan here too. (But like all powerful tools - ya gotta know what to ask it and how to interpret the results in order to get the most from it - which you did.)

Thanks Paul - I can't take most of the credit - got to give it up to the guys at Screaming Frog - love the spider

Hey Juan Miguel - Mark did a great job of quickly finding the error for you and explaining how to fix it. Would be great to mark his post as a "helpful answer" to give him a bit of extra credit for his help

Nice catch, Mark.

Basically, SEOMoz is crawling your site and telling you they found these errors. There errors were found by following internal links.
I took a quick look at the code on your site, and in the social icon buttons in the header of your pages at the top right, for the Twitter icon, you are linking to yourself, to piensa_piensa - here is the code
class="social-icon"><a <span="" class="webkit-html-attribute-name">target</a><a <span="" class="webkit-html-attribute-name">="_blank" href="</a>Piensa_Piensa ">src="http://piensapiensa.com/wp-content/themes/modernize-v3-11/images/icon/dark/social/twitter.png" alt="twitter"/>
Your href is piensa_piensa - this is adding this text to the URL of every page - correct this link and this error will be fixed - either use # until you link to your Twitter account, or link to your proper address of the twitter account. This will solve your problem.
Good luck,
Mark

Does Google's algo look at all traffic mediums with regs to onpage metrics or only organic traffic metrics?
Hi folks, This is something I've pondered for a while. I've ask a couple of Googlers but no reponse yet and I don't I'll get one! In your opinion, do you think Google looks at on page metrics like bounce rate for example from all traffic mediums (organic, paid, email, social referral etc etc) or they only look at on page metrics from organic traffic? I'm not talking about direct correlations from other mediums. I'm only talking about when a user lands on a website, do the actions they take matter with regards to Google's search algo no matter of the referring medium, or do Google only look at onpage metrics on visits which came to the site via organic search as a medium. Option 1 As a very simplified example: Google gives extra weight in the SERPs to website A which has an average bounce rate of 30% from all mediums compared to website B which has a bounce rate of 50% from all mediums. Option 2 Google gives extra weight in the SERPs to website A which has an average bounce rate of 30% from organic traffic only compared to website B which has a bounce rate of 50% from organic traffic only. I'm not sure if anyone outside Google has the answer/proof of this but was keen to get other people's thoughts. If you think the also uses one or the other, can you give an insights/proof of one or the other? For me it would make sense for them only to use onpage metrics from sessions which came from organic seach traffic, but who knows! Merci buckets, Gill.

Putting content behind 'view more' buttons
Hi I can't find an upto date answer to this so was wondering what people's thoughts are. Does putting content behind 'view more' css buttons affect how Google see's and ranks the data. The content isn't put behind 'view more' to trick Google. In actual fact if you see the source of the data its all together, but its so that products appear higher up the page. Does anyone have insight into this. Thanks in advance

Two URL's for the same page
Hi, on our site we have two separate URL's for a page that has the same content. So, for example - 'www.domain.co.uk/stuff' and 'www.domain.co.uk/things/stuff' both have the same content on the page. We currently rank high in search for 'www.domain.co.uk/things/stuff' for our targeted keyword, but there are numerous links on the site to www.domain.co.uk/stuff and also potentially inbound links to this page. Ideally we want just the www.domain.co.uk/things/stuff URL to be present on the site, what would be the best course of action to take? Would a simple Canonical tag from the '/stuff' URL which points to the '/things/stuff' page be wise? If we were to scrap the '/stuff' URL totally and redirect it to the 'things/stuff' URL and change all our on site links, would this be beneficial and not harm our current ranking for '/things/stuff'? We only want 1 URL for this page for numerous reasons (i.e, easier to track in Analytics), but I'm a bit cautious that changing the page that doesn't rank may have an affect on the page that does rank! Thanks.

Image alt tags shouldn't contain keywords?
Hi Everyone, I've been informed recently that keyword within your image alt tags can be a trigger for penguin if you have your keyword mentioned too often on the page (over-optimisation). I'm not sure I understand why though, the reason for this is, we have a page which features a picture and a description of a product. The page title, heading, a mention in content and image alt all contain a keyword which is the product name. I've been told to remove these alt tags but aren't alt tags important for screen readers and other W3C complacency issues, so removing the product names from the alt (which also happens to be the keyword for the product pages but is best describing what the image is) would make these image useless to users with certain disabilities, so if its true that doing this can be a negative signal isn't this breaking googles guidelines by not providing good content for those users? Would it be better to remove these alt tags or attempt to remove keyword elsewhere on the page? or can anyone suggest something else? Thanks in advance.
