Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey Everyone...

Just got a quick question I haven't really ever found a straight answer to.  I have a sports blog.  Part of the blog is writing my own articles and the other part is putting together posts that have a collection of links to other good articles.  An example post link is below.

http://frogfanreport.com/tcu-news/frog-fan-tcu-news-links-1612/

The question is whether I should be setting these posts as NOFOLLOW?

During football season I have a link collection post daily but during the off-season i may post every couple of days.

Works perfectly thanks.  Guess we will see over time if it stops errors from occuring.

I was using Wordpress Mobile Pack.    It is currently deactivated but would like to find something that works.  Any recommendations?

Also, the only cache that I know off the top of my head is with XML Site Map generator.  I can enable that.  Is that what you are talking about or should I look somewhere else?

Thanks for responding...

Hi All,

Has anyone seen this 404 error before?  I installed a wordpress plugin that would allow users to switch between a mobile and desktop theme.  This was about 6 months ago and I thought nothing of it.

Since I am new to SeoMoz, I have become aware of this lovely problem.  After setting up my campaign, I now have 1600 something 404 errors due to this plugin.  It looks like this plugin creates 4 to 5 links for each one of my posts and they all return up as a 404 error.

Example:

http://frogfanreport.com/football/page/36/

or

http://frogfanreport.com/football/page/36/?wpmp_switcher=desktop

I just noticed this morning in Google Webmaster tools that the errors are starting to show up there.

Has anyone seen this?  Or know if this is a problem and what to do?

Hi Robert....

Thank you so much for responding, you have some good stuff there.  I went to google and selected my preferred domain.  I taught myself how to write the 301 redirect and put that in an .htaccess file and then taught myself how to upload it.  Wasn't too difficult.

I do have one more question in regards to your canonicalize tip.  Where do I place that link,  ?  Do I place that in the .htaccess file as well?

Thanks a million and have a great New Year

Hey Everyone...

Really new to the SEO world and have learned tons each day.  When I joined SEOmoz I went to my host and set up the 301 direct to have frogfanreport.com go to www.frogfanreport.com.

After a couple of days I noticed that Rogerbot only crawled 1 page on www.frogfanreport.com.  Looked into the community posts to try to find an answer.  So, I went in and took the 301 direct off and setup a new campaign just for frogfanreport.com.  It has now crawled over 300 pages.

Not sure what I need to do or if I just did not set it up the 301 direct correctly.  Looking at the link stats the root domain stats are obviously the same.  The subdomain stats is where there is a big difference:

www: ext f links 1, total ext links 5, total links 5, f root domain 1, total linking root         domain 4

non-www: ext f links 76, total ext links 109, total links 7.962, f root domain 11, total link root domain 19

I am guessing that I should go back in and put the 301 direct from www to non-www?  Is this going to affect RogerBot going in?  Or did I just not set it up correctly?
