Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks very much, Dirk.

Hello,

I am going through the various errors that the Moz Pro Crawl report and some non-existent pages keep coming up in the report.

For example, one error category is "Missing Title Tag" with one page identified. But this page http://www.immigroup.com/news/“http%3A/crs.yorku.ca”?page=2 isn't real. It would have been a 404 were there not a redirect for everything that is /news/gobbledygook to /news.

So my question is: when moz (or GA for that matter) identifies these pages as "real" and having errors, do I need to take this seriously? And what do I do about it?

Thanks!

Thanks Don.

The links are external. We do have a general 404 page, but for whatever reason, when he built this site, the developer guided those specific 404s to that news page.

Thanks again.

Hi there,

I have a couple of related questions about the crawl report finding duplicate content:

We have a number of pages that feature mostly media - just a picture or just a slideshow - with very little text. These pages are rarely viewed and they are identified as duplicate content even though the pages are indeed unique to the user. Does anyone have an opinion about whether or not we'd be better off to just remove them since we do not have the time to add enough text at this point to make them unique to the bots?

The other question is we have a redirect for any 404 on our site that follows the pattern immigroup.com/news/* - the redirect merely sends the user back to immigroup.com/news. However, Moz's crawl seems to be reading this as duplicate content as well. I'm not sure why that is, but is there anything we can do about this? These pages do not exist, they just come from someone typing in the wrong url or from someone clicking on a bad link. But we want the traffic - after all the users are landing on a page that has a lot of content. Any help would be great!

Thanks very much!

George
