URLS appearing twice in Moz crawl
-
I have asked this question before and got a Moz response to which i replied but no reply after that.
Hi,
We have noticed in our moz crawl that urls are appearing twice so urls like this - http://www.recyclingbins.co.uk/about/ www.recyclingbins.co.uk/about/
Thought it may be possible rel=canonical issue as can find URL's but no linking URL's to the pages.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you
Jon
I did the crawl test and they were not there

Hey Jon!
There are only two ways for these URLs to be picked. Relative links in the source code or malformed sitemaps if the <loc>tags are not on the same line as the URL</loc>
Incorrect:
<loc>www.domain.com</loc>
correct:
<loc>www.domain.com</loc>
If the linking page or referral URL is the sitemap, look in the source for the tags. If they are from another linking page, look for hyperlinks missing http://

Hi Jon,
Just to clarify is your report showing the domains with http and without, or with www. and without as the duplicate content?
i have seen this issue on a couple of my sites where it is reporting with and without www. and have just implemented the rel canonical to point towards one or the other as i am very confident that this will resolve the issue.
I'll let you know the outcome.
Regards,
Ben

How non-US Moz customers will use Keyword Explorer after the Keyword Difficulty tool is retired?
The new Moz Keyword Explorer looks good but its search volume is US based and completely useless for non-US websites. This is from Rand's post: "while the tool can search any Google domain in any country, the volume numbers will always be for US-volume. In the future, we hope to add volume data for other geos as well." In the Keyword Difficulty tool, Moz shows Google search volume data, which is similar to what I see in the Google Keyword Planner and Google Search Console. For example, keyword X in the Australian search market has 6-7k searches in the Google Keyword Planner and 8k searches in Moz. The very same keyword has 118k-300k search volume in the new Keyword Explorer! Obviously this new search volume is not useful in the Australian market. I often used the Keyword Difficulty tool to identify new keyword opportunities but what can I do to complete the same tasks after they retire the tool?

On-Page Grader "Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible."
We have a new client with a squarespace page. http://www.mountainhouseestate.com The Moz On-Page grader returns the error "Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible." for all pages. Possibly related, Google seems to hate their site. Even a search for "mountain house estate" returns lousy results. Bing/Yahoo has no problem with it.
