New Page Showing Up On My Reports w/o Page Title, Words, etc - However, I didn't create it
-
I have a WordPress site and I was doing a crawl for errors and it is now showing up as of today that this page : https://thinkbiglearnsmart.com/event-registration/?event_id=551&name_of_event=HTML5 CSS3 is new and has no page title, words, etc.
I am not even sure where this page or URL came from. I was messing with the robots.txt file to allow some /category/ posts that were being hidden, but I didn't re-allow anything with the above appendages.
I just want to make sure that I didn't screw something up that is now going to impact my rankings - this was just a really odd message to come up as I didn't create this page recently - and that shouldnt even be a page accessible to the public. When I edit the page - it is using an Event Espresso (WordPress plugin) shortcode - and I don't want to noindex this page as it is all of my events.
Sorry this post is confusing, any help or insight would be appreciated!
I am also interested in hiring someone for some hourly consulting work on SEO type issues if anyone has any references.
Thank you!

Hi Marty,
Thanks for your help. Sure - in the site auditor under Meta, Content and Semantic is where it is pulling this new link.

Ah I love Raven. But which part in particular? Is it being pulled in from your Analytics? Can you share a screenshot of what you're looking at?

From Raven Tools!

A quick question: Where did you discover this page? Using a tool like Xenu or Screaming Frog or in Google Webmaster Tools? Other? That'll help narrow down the issue.
Oftentimes WordPress or WordPress plugins will spawn various URI iterations (especially with URI variables) that you may not be aware of.

Title errors for pages behind a login
On our website we have content which is located behind a members login. the SEOMoz crawl report has returned these pages with a "no title" error against them. It appears that these pages are being crawled until the website prompts it to login. I can only presume that it follows the url but doesn't have an opportunity to crawl the meta data. what is the solution for these pages? 401, so that the bots know these pages are behind a login? do we implement anything to ensure "no index", "no follow"? I searched the T'interwebs and couldn't find anything conclusive on this issue.

According to 1 of my PRO campaigns - I have 250+ pages with Duplicate Content - Could my empty 'tag' pages be to blame?
Like I said, my one of my moz reports is showing 250+ pages with duplicate content. should I just delete the tag pages? Is that worth my time? how do I alert SEOmoz that the changes have been made, so that they show up in my next report?

Page rank 2 for home page, 3 for service pages
Hey guys, I have noticed with one of our new sites, the home page is showing page rank two, whereas 2 of the internal service pages are showing as 3. I have checked with both open site explorer and yahoo back links and there are by far more links to the home page. All quality and relevant directory submissions and blog comments. The site is only 4 months old, I wonder if anyone can shed any light on the fact 2 of the lesser linked pages are showing higher PR? Thanks 🙂
