Prioritising campaign issues
-
HI Guys,
Im just going through the data from our campaign I and I see we have the following.
** Too Many On-Page Links 10 000**
Duplicate Page Title 8700
Duplicate Page Content 8000
Missing Meta Description Tag 1800
In terms of remedying, what do I need to prioritise? For instance does google penalise you more for duplicate URLs or more for too many links on page links? I look forward to hearing from you

I have to second Miki on this. If I were you, I would take it:
- Duplicate titles
- Duplicate content
- On-page links
- Meta descriptions
The on-page links issue may be diluting your link juice, but duplicate titles and content could actually be affecting your indexability. There's likely overlap between the duplicate titles and duplicate content problems, so fixing titles may take care of a lot of the duplicate content; wrap up what's left after the titles are fixed. Take care of the missing meta descriptions after these more systemic issues have been addressed.
Good luck!

I would focus on the Page Title, and Duplicate Content stuff first.
The description tag won't hurt or help your ranking, it will just have an effect on your CTR.
Once you go through the Title & Content, start remedying the # of links.
Hope that helps.

Crawl Issue Question
Hey guys, I have run the crawl on my WordPress site and Moz finds a "Critical crawl issue" for my site on a broken link (404 error): mydomain.com/**%25s **, I can't seem to be able to find such a link anyway and I have run the website through several other tools that scan for broken links and such and there is no such result.

Campaign in subdirectory
Hi. I have a main site under the TLD and Moz sucessfully scans all URL's under that domain including for a subfolder on the domain. However, I have also set up a campaign for the subdirectory as it is effectively a seperate site (let's say it's like an ecommerce site with a blog is a subfolder). Moz crawls the main campaign on the TLD including the subfolder correctly (I was previously told you cannot exclude a subfolder), but it does not scan any URL's beyond the top one in the subfolder campaign (I was told this setup was OK) Any ideas why the subfolder does not get crawled by Moz?

Issues with Crawl Test and SSL Certificate
So I have having issues with the Crawl Test being able to crawl my site accurately due to what the tool is saying is a "SSL Certificate Error" (804 : HTTPS (SSL) error encountered when requesting page.) Only thing is that I have no warnings about this SSL issue in Search Console and when I check the SSL on https://www.sslshopper.com it comes back just fine. Anybody know why this might be happening or have encountered this issue before?
