SEO Moz crawl has 3 missing page title errors when they are clearly there.
-
My SEO Moz crawl today has highlighted for errors where page titles are empty missing. For example: http://www.musicliveuk.com/live-acts/hire-wedding-entertainment/wedding-entertainment-kent
This page clearly has a title as do the other 3. Is it a bug in the system or am I missing something?

Hi Samuel,
Once in rare while there's a rare miscommunication between the SEOmoz crawler, rogerbot, and your webserver. This usually happens when roger crawls a bit too fast than your site can handle, and so your site serves up what are essentially empty pages.
Roger reads these pages as blank, and records no title tag, meta description or links on the page.
If the title tag is already there, then it's nothing to worry about. One way to address this in the future is to use a crawl-delay directive in your robots.txt file, which will slow roger down. To do this, place the following lines in your robots.txt file:
User-agent: rogerbot
Crawl-delay: 5This will make roger wait at least 5 seconds before crawling each page.
Hope this helps. Best of luck with your SEO!

I opened up your site. First, every single page should have only one h1. Your homepage has like 5-6 or more. As well as other inner-pages. Also, avoid intersecting html tags in h1, like or<a></a>
**<a>Put them in CSS

Hope it helps.</a>**

I have just added H1. I have lots other pages that don't have H1 tags though and it's not flagged them so I thought it was talking about the page title that appears in the webpage tab in your browser and not H1 tags.

I did not find h1 title either. h1 is one of the most important things on page that signals robots what is this page about.

SEO Title Tag Best Practice?
Hi, I would like to know if appending site name at the end of page title ( page title -_ Site Name/Site URL_ ) is a good/bad practice in reference to SEO? If a good practice which is better ( Site Name or Site URL )? Example: 20 Things you didn't know about zombies - coed.com Thanks in advance

"City page" links in footer of home page: Spammy?
Is listing a bunch of links to city pages in the footer of a home page considered "spammy" to Google? (ie- Chicago Alarms, Illinois Alarms, Naperville Alarms, etc.) What are the negative affects this might have on ranking, if any?

Html and css errors - what do SE spiders do if they come across coding errors? Do they stop crawling the rest of the code below the error
I have a client who uses a template to build their websites (no problem with that) when I ran the site through w3c validator it threw up a number of errors, most of which where minor eg missing close tags and I suggested they fix them before I start their off site SEO campaigns. When I spoke to their web designer about the issues I was told that some of the errors where "just how its done" So if that's the case, but the validator still registers the error, do the SE spiders ignore them and move on, or does it penalize the site in some way?

Changing page titles and google penalties?
I just recently learned that changing your page title earns you a google penalty. Unfortunately i learned this after playing around with my page titles a bit to get the most optimal page titles. Does anybody know how long this google penalty lasts? is it forever? or just temporary?
