Welcome to the Q&A Forum

What'd they say Ryan? Having the same issue and just contacted Godaddy who told me that basically Moz's software is pinging my client's server too frequently so Godaddy is temporarily blocking their IP. They said it's not a concern though as they would never block Google from pinging/indexing the site.

Having the same issue and just spoke with Godaddy who said it's not a concern and that what's happening is Moz's software is pinging the client's server too many times within a given time period, so Godaddy's system is temporarily blocking Moz's IP, which causes the error. The do not ever, according to this rep, block Google's services that hit the server.

Awesome. That Cutts video was exactly what were were looking for. Thanks Samuel!

Hi guys, we have a client whose main site is .com but who has a .co.uk and a com.au site promoting the same company/brand. Each site is verified locally with a local address and phone but when we create content for the sites that is universal, should I rel=canonical those pages on the .co.uk and .com.au sites to the .com site?

I saw a post from Dr. Pete that suggests I should as he outlines pretty closely the situation we're in:

"The ideal use of cross-domain rel=canonical would be a situation where multiple sites owned by the same entity share content, and that content is useful to the users of each individual site."

Thanks in advance for your insight!

Having some trouble... Because the site is Wordpress, which dynamically generates pages, there is no /property-search-page/ nor is there a property-search-page.php in the editor files, so the only option I have is to put disallow: /property-search-page/ in the robots.txt file, correct?

You guys rock! I'll try these out tomorrow. Thanks a million.

We already have Yoast installed, but the errors are still showing up in the Moz report.

To clarify, let's assume we have another page that lists all the villas (/all-villas/). If I go to the property-search-page php file and canonical=rel it to /all-villas/, will it canonical=rel all /property-search-page/?whatever pages to the /all-villas/ page?

Thanks for the response. The site is Wordpress - is there an easy way to write some sort of rule that would canonical any of these types of pages to a category page? How would you go about doing that?

I just got a Mozcrawl back and see lots of errors for overly dynamic urls. The site is a villa rental site that gives users the ability to search by bedroom, amenities, price, etc, so I'm wondering what the best way to keep these types of dynamically generated pages with urls like /property-search-page/?location=any&status=any&type=any&bedrooms=9&bathrooms=any&min-price=any&max-price=any from indexing.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated : )
