Why do I suddenly have so many more page errors?

[janettapp]

I've been working diligently to remove page errors that appear after each scan of my website. I was down to 3 or 4 errors after the last crawl, now this week I'm getting 80 plus. I haven't changed anything since last week (page titles, etc.) so what's up?

A url would be helpfull.

its hard to say without knowing the rros and the errors you fixed, some times fixing errors makes it posible for the crawler to find others it could not crawl previously.

Okay, here's the scoop. Last week I showed 4 pages with duplicate page content (all contact forms for different purposes) and 4 pages with missing or duplicate page titles. I fixed the page titles by giving each of the 4 pages a unique title.

This week, I have 26 pages with duplicate content and 73 with duplicate page titles. Here's a sample of what I got:

Teak Products for Boats : Teakworks4u

http://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?xid_3ccf5=45aab4acddfd1537ff7b65905a3d88ac

The report says there are 38 pages with the same page title. Here is a sampling:

https://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?sort=price&page=2

https://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?sort=price&page=2

https://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?sort=price&page=3

https://www.teakworks4u.com/Marine-Teak/?page=2&sort=title&sort_direction=1

Why are these showing up all of a sudden? I haven't changed anything other than what I mentioned above.It makes no sense to me that this would start to show up now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I dcant tell you, they obviously did not crawl the whole site the first time. If you are new, then that would be the case as they only do a quick crawl the first time.

the above problem you show, needs a canonical tag to fix it.

Also is there a reason for using https? this encrypts the page, making it slower, if you are nort handling credit cards i would not use https

Thanks Alan.

We do accept credit cards so the https is necessary. I'll look into the canonical tags and see what I can do.

[AlanMosley]

You only need the https on the page that accepts credit cards, not the whole site.

Hey, thanks! I'll talk with my programmers to see what's up.
