Wordpress tag problem
-
Hei,
Just start using seomoz pro and it's freaking awesome:) I have one question about Crawl Diagnostics and hope you guys can help me out.
I just launch my website and i get two errors what greep me out a bit. I don't know how to handle them correctly. I have two duplicate content errors what are caused by Wordpress tag's.
If i make more blog posts then i get even more duplicate content issues. how should i handle this "tag" situation?
Respectfully,
TauriU

Very helpful, thank you!
Follow-up question for you: what are the lettered directories in your example? Are those standard directories that Wordpress adds for some reason?... maybe for alphabetized menu of your posts?
Disallow: /cgi-bin Disallow: /wp-admin Disallow: /wp-includes Disallow: /wp-content Disallow: /tag Disallow: /author Disallow: /wget/ Disallow: /httpd/ Disallow: /i/ Disallow: /f/ Disallow: /t/ Disallow: /c/ Disallow: /j/

You have more information about SEO for Wordpress in the official webpage: http://codex.wordpress.org/Search_Engine_Optimization_for_WordPress
I added some of the recommendations about the robots.txt to avoid bots going where you know that is going to get a duplicate content or non meta description. Here http://www.askapache.com/seo/updated-robotstxt-for-wordpress.html

Tags in Wordpress carry no SEO weight. Going forward, I would ignore them completely.
If you erase your tag pages now, it may cause some broken links from your sitemap. I attached a video of Matt Cutts explaining keyword meta tags.

Don't worry. Though you didn't specify what error you got, I'm assuming it is a duplicate content error.
All you got to do is set noindex meta tags for tags on WP. Additionally also set unique meta descriptions for each tag or the tool will keep showing the duplicate content error.
If you got a different error, let me know.

Drupal 8 tags and categories cause duplicate content shown in MOZ
Hi all, There is something difficult to trace that is causing duplicate content that is related to categories and tags i.e. https://example.com/contact Associated Pages https://example.com/tags/business https://example.com/taxonomy/term/41 example 2 https://example.com/category/example-category-1 Associated Pages https://example.com/category/occupiers-liability example 3 https://example.com/tags/test https://example.com/tags/test-2 Above two pages display same content (maybe due to similar posts feature) My question here is: Is this caused by Drupal website misconfiguration (or one of its modules) since website uses similar posts feature or it's something else. Duplicate content for example.com/index.php issue has been solved by redirects. Should something similar be done in case of tags / categories? Any discussion / suggestions on that matter are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Title tags drawn from breadcrumbs
My client has a magento site that we've recently started working on. After the site was crawled by Moz a couple of times we noticed there was an issue with title tags being too long. However, when we looked closer at the data, Moz was seemingly picking up the breadcrumbs as the title tag. The actual tag is a small part of the breadcrumbs, but Moz was reporting they were the same. For example:
Moz Pro | | Stone_Junction
Breadcrumbs - home>products>category A of products
Title Tag - category A of products I just wondered if anyone else has had this problem? Is it Moz's mistake or is the title tag auto generating from the breadcrumbs and cutting off the beginning somehow? Any information would be really helpful, thanks.0 -
In alt tag of a image can we use #hashtag or domain.com ? Is that good SEO or not allowed ?
Some of the Google Search shows a title has a hashtag of an article, which contain keyword and while tweeting them, the title which has a hashtag automatically very good used for getting traffic to the blog. And other one, can we use the hash tag inside the alt attribute ? Or our domain name with .com in it. Like Google.com or #Google ?

Do crawl reports see canonical tags?
Greetings, I just redesigned my site, www.funderstanding.com, and have the old site pointing to the new site via canonical URLs. I had a new crawl test run and it showed a large amount of duplicate content. Does the SEO Moz crawl tool validate canonical urls and adjusts the duplicate content count or is this note considered? FYI, I sent from no duplicate content to having 865 errors since the redesign went up so that seems suspicious. I would think though that assuming the canonical tag were used properly, and I hope it is?, that this would not be a problem?? All help with this is most appreciated. Eric
