Woocommerce filter urls showing in crawl results, but not indexed?
-
I'm getting 100's of Duplicate Content warnings for a Woocommerce store I have. The urls are
etcThese don't seem to be indexed in google, and the canonical is for the shop base url. These seem to be simply urls generated by Woocommerce filters.
Is this simply a false alarm from Moz crawl?

Hi Justin:
I have a client with this problem. All of the filter URLs are crawled by Moz, show as duplicate content in Moz, have 302 warnings in Moz. All of them canonical back to their respective category pages. None appear on WMT/Search Console, but doing a similar "site:URL" search on Google shows they are indexed. I'm curious what you've done in the last year to resolve this? Or have you only tried to resolve via Sitemap submission, and did that work for you? Thank you!

Just an fyi for anyone who is using the Woocommerce and Yoast plugin, you can remove the additional features, custom attributes, and other Taxonomies that you may not want indexed via XML Sitemaps - Taxonomies.

I see now, thank you good sir! The answer to that question is likely "no" Now to hunt for a solution in the WordPress/Woocommerce/Yoast environment.

Hmmm thank you for the feedback. Google is not indexing these though...
If I google a phrase "egardwatches.com filter 128" to find this url -http://www.egardwatches.com/shop/?filter_additional-features=128 -
It does not appear in Google results, and it has the ? query indicator, which should tell Google it is dynamic?
Are you sure this isn't an issue with Moz crawl only?
How can it be duplicate content if it isn't even indexed?

Getting spam Links pointing to our wrong url, what to do?
Hey Mozzers, Looking in my Google Search Console (Webmaster Tools), I'm getting links pointing to bogus pages on my website that result in a 404. What does one do so you can tell Google that it has been "fixed"? Do i just 301 it to another website? If I add it to my disavow list, does Google remove the error in my webmaster tools? Thank you!

Crawl Errors and Notices drop to zero
Hi all, After setting up a campaign in Moz the crawl is successful and it showed the Errors and Warnings in crawl diagnostics (each one had about 40-50), but after a few days the number dropped to zero. Only the "notices" seems to stay normal, with a slight drop since the campaign set up, but not dropping to zero. I set this campaign up in a colleague's account and the same thing happened shortly after set up. I didn't find any Q&A already posted so any insight is appreciated!

Settings to crawl entire site
Not sure what happened but I started a third campaign yesterday and only 1 pages was crawled, The other two campaigns has 472 and 10K respectively. What is the proper setting to choose in the beginning of campaign setup to have the entire site crawled. Not sure what I did different and I must be reading the instructions incorrectly. Thanks, Don

Only 1 page has been crawled. Why?
I set a new profile up a fortnight ago. Last week seomoz crawled the entire site (10k pages), and this week has only crawled 1 page. Nothing's changed on the site that I'm aware of, so what's happened?

Site not showing data in Open Site Explorer
I have run open site explorer for a couple of sites but I am getting the "no data available for this URL" message. I have read the reasons listed on the error message but none of these apply to the particular sites I am looking for data from. Any thoughts as to why this might be? Thanks, Kwan

The Site Explorer crawl shows errors for files/folders that do not exist.
I'm fairly certain there is ultimately something amiss on our server but the Site Explorer report on my website (www.kpmginstitutes.com) is showing thousands of folders that do not exist. Example: For my "About Us" page (www.kpmginstitutes.com/about-us.aspx), the report shows a link: www.kpmginstitutes.com/rss/industries/404-institute/404-institute/about-us.aspx. We do have "rss", "industries", "404-institute" folders but they are parallel in the architecture, not sequential as indicated in the error url. Has anyone else seen these types of error in your Site Explorer reports?
