What is wrong with my campaign?

[Biker]

I have two campaigns one named BL and another named EBL. The one named EBL is working perfectly, and the way it should, I assume. However, BL is acting very strange, it shows 16,219 pages crawled which BL website has only 1,700 products so it's not possible for the campaign to have 16,219 pages seen by the robot.

Here is what happened.

We have had several issues with our server. First we received a report of the server that more than 3,000 503 errors have been noticed by Google. So we moved the website to another server, after a while for some reason our website had duplicate products. So instead of the link being /Mens-leather-vest it was /Mens-leather-vest-1020 which is a redirect of the original product.

So we removed all products and redid all title tags, meta etc. However, now that when Moz crawls the website it still sees those errors, and duplicates that don't exist anymore. We finished fixing everything last week, and this Monday was a new crawl cycle for moz, and I thought that it will not show the old errors but it is still showing those old errors.

Any idea what might be causing it or how I can fix this?

Magento can be a bit of a pain when it comes to duplicate content, but in this case I think you need to clarify where the actual problem exists.

For the too many onpage links, this is not an error, simply a suggestion/notice and is something quite a few sites show in moz tools, so skip that for the moment.

For the link examples you give like this: bikerleather.com/mens-vest-2032 - this page 302 redirects to the homepage... thats a problem, especially if it is being linked to internally from somewhere. Check out your site with screaming frog or some specific links here: http://www.internetofficer.com/seo-tool/redirect-check/ You have quite a few 302 redirects on the site, so it seems that the moz report is correctly identifying this still. This might well be the root cause of the duplicate content also, since all the 302s go to the homepage... that is technically a duplicate content issue!

Personally I would be cautious about disabling the internal magento url rewriting and trying to handle it all with an htaccess file, it is not very future proof and I think you will get into more trouble that it is worth in the medium term.

What to do? Download the moz errors report in csv, filter for duplicate content and/or 302 issues and then look in the far right hand column for the url which linked to the page. Chances are you will find a pattern emerging where 302/duplicate content errors are being spawned off by specific components or pages in the system. Those are the easy fixes, once those are done you will be left with the more difficult fixes, but at least there should be a lot less of them!

Hope that helps!

The duplicate pages are not in different language. I also have about 7,000 errors on too many on page links, 7,000 temporary redirects (which have been deleted last tuesday), 4,000 duplicate content which are like this for example.

bikerleather.com/mens-vest and the duplicate is bikerleather.com/mens-vest-2032 or bikerleather.com/mens-vest-3456

However, when I click the link it takes me to the correct product but with different name so I disabled URL rewrite management to fix this issue, and all other issues have been fixed.

All issues were fixed before Monday to allow Moz to run a new fresh report. But Moz robot is not picking up that this was fixed and it keeps on showing the same issues.

Have you looked at the report to see what pages its saying are dups and what pages it a dup off?  Some times its the same page in a different language version or they are product pages that are so similar they are reported as a dup.  But the detailed report will give you the clues.
