Crawl diagnostic how important is these 2 types of errors and what to do?

[nicolaj1977]

Hi,
I am trying to SEO optimized my webpage dreamesatehuahin.com

When I saw SEO Moz webpage crawl diagnostic I kind of got a big surprise due to the high no. of errors. I don’t know if this is the kind of errors that need to be taken very serious i my paticular case,

When I am looking at the details I can see the errors are cause by the way my wordpress theme is put together. I don’t know how to resolve this. But If important I might hire a programmer.

1. DUPLICATE ERRORS (40 ISSUES HIGH PRIORITY ACCORDING TO MOZ)
   They are all the same as this one.
   http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-feature/restaurent/page/2/
   is eaqual to this one
   http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-feature/restaurent/page/2/?view=list

This one exsist
http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-feature/car-park/
while a level down don’t exsit
http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-feature/

2. DUPLICATE PAGE TITLE (806 ISSUES MEDIUM PRIORITY ACCORDING TO MOZ)
   This is related to search results and pagination.
   Etc. Title for each of these pages is the same
   http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-search/page/1

http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-search/page/2

http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-search/page/3

http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-search/page/4

3. Title element is to long (405)
   http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-feature/fitness/?view=list
   this is not what I consider real pages but maybe its actually is a page for google.

The title from souce code is auto generated and in this case it not makes sense
<title>Fitness Archives - Dream Estate Hua Hin | Property For Sale And RentDream Estate Hua Hin | Property For Sale And Rent</title>

I know at the moment there are properly more important things for our website like content, title, meta descriptions, intern and extern links and are looking into this and taking the whole optimization seriously. Have for instance just hired a content writer rewrite and create new content based on keywords research.

I WOULD REALLY APPRICIATE SOME EXPERIENCE PEOPLE FEEDBACK ON HOW IMPORTANT IS IT THAT I FIX THIS ISSUES IF AT ALL POSSIBLE?

best regards,

Hi Nicolaj,

I have done a separate crawl on your site and I have posted information and links below. The answers to your questions.

#1

In terms of duplicate content Google knows that you are trying to use the page with the canonical tag pointing to it you can see that here.

many of the issues you are having are answered by Dan Shure in this excellent post summing up best practices for WordPress SEO

http://moz.com/blog/setup-wordpress-for-seo-success

http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-feature/restaurent/page/2/?view=list

Change in your .htaccess file:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

To:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

http://expressionengine.stackexchange.com/questions/24389/remove-question-mark-in-url-with-force-url-query-strings-enabled

http://www.webconfs.com/url-rewriting-tool.php

This will fix huge problems in large sites that can be caused by having that?.

I am talking about very large sites

if using Nginx a faster alternative in my opinion to Apache you would be able to use this tool to rewrite any http://winginx.com/en/htaccess

#1)B

This one exists

_http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-feature/car-park/_

while a level down don’t exist

_http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-feature/_

This is an issue where your /property–feature/ is showing me a 404

2_) DUPLICATE PAGE TITLE (806 ISSUES MEDIUM PRIORITY ACCORDING TO MOZ)_

This is related to search results and pagination.

Etc. Title for each of these pages is the same

http://www.seobythesea.com/2011/11/google-granted-patent-hostname-mirrors/

"Paginated pages aren’t pages that contain duplicate content, but will sometimes contain duplicated titles and duplicated meta descriptions based upon things like a content management system that you might be using." Bill Slawski

However they can become a huge issue on larger sites.

Yes they can be a very large problem on big sites if you think about it Google does not get the right signals I have two clients with sites over half a million pages this is one of the largest issues I have ever run across for very big sites.

http://www.slideshare.net/ericenge/pagination-and-seo-making-it-easy

This is a very complicated issue if it is something affecting your site and your crawl budget than I create secular non-pagination pages.

http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/09/pagination-with-relnext-and-relprev.html

Many times it is better to not use pagination and create a single page with a secular title. It depends on your website.

3) Title element is to long (405)

_http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-feature/fitness/?view=list_

this is not what I consider real pages but maybe its actually is a page for google.

_ The title from source code is auto generated and in this case it not makes sense_

_<title>Fitness Archives - Dream Estate Hua Hin | Property For Sale And RentDream Estate Hua Hin | Property For Sale And Rent</title>  _

You should handwrite your title tags and take extreme care in their creation. There are very strong signal to Google.

You have too many words and you have the word property in their and estate as well twice this is spammy

For better results use this guide to writing title tags. Do not allow them to be auto generated.

Please read this http://moz.com/learn/seo/title-tag

Your title tag is too long regardless it is not a wise practice to use as long of a title as you have in there. You use the word property way too much in the title tag you are okay as far as the URL

http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-feature/fitness/?view=list

as it does use a canonical tag it is okay

http://cl.ly/XCr2

As far as hiring a programmer it is up to you your site is deeply in need of better coding and hosting your site speed is over 10 seconds. It took me a long time to do any research on your site all. This will kill your conversion if I were browsing this for any other reason other than to help

Just trying to troubleshoot your page takes forever and I thought it was my browser and then my second browser then I did a speed test not to get off subject but get that fixed ASAP

http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/dMSPsX/http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/property-feature/fitness/

I would use guides take this to clean up a lot of what is wrong

http://www.feedthebot.com/pagespeed/

In addition I would post it with a managed WordPress hosting company

GetFlywheel, WP engine, Pagely, Pressable, PressLabs & WebSynthesis are all great companies.

GetFlywheel is a fantastic deal at USD15 a site and every site has its very own fully WordPress optimized SSD VPS I have accounts with every company above and that is my opinion.

How are you doing overall getting traffic? How are you doing in converting that traffic into leads?

It would be wise in my opinion to hire a company to help you with the development / programming and SEO.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Please remember page speed is about pleasing the end-user if they click the back key because your site will not load under 15 seconds ( something it has yet to do in my testing below)

http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/dugdXo/http://www.dreamestatehuahin.com/

I know speed is a small part of Google's  algorithm the reason I am bringing it up is the site is far too slow for normal users to actually browse without leaving. I am certain if you spread your site up your conversion results would be a lot better.

I know at the moment there are properly more important things for our website like content, title, meta descriptions, intern and extern links and are looking into this and taking the whole optimization seriously. Have for instance just hired a content writer rewrite and create new content based on keywords research.

I believe in taking care of the entire site obviously you want to start at the most critical and do things a section at a time so you can see the results. It is fantastic that you have somebody creating content that is very important. What methods did you use to obtain these keywords?

External and internal links are extremely serious without a proper back link profile your site simply will not be seen as important by Google.

Part of what you are talking about is your "title" things like title tags that are too long will affect you because Google will only show a certain amount of pixels I would pay close attention to what this page says along with what the tool shows you in this photo that is larger here http://imgur.com/KFtAY6m.png

title tags are critical, back links are critical, the content you create must be something that people will Share, and like enough to +1 and  more importantly link to in order to have real value.

I would suggest a complete site audit

http://www.feedthebot.com/titleandalttags.html

I understand this is twice but use this.

http://moz.com/learn/seo/title-tag

I would recommend using these fantastic tools

Deep Crawl

http://deepcrawl.co.uk/

an incredible tool for finding issues with sites like yours or any site. Up to any size great for huge websites. Because it is hosted on  Deep crawls cloud server and not local computer you do not have to worry about your computers RAM ( this only becomes a problem with extremely large sites  over 1 million in my experience but it is all depending on your computer of course)

Starts at USD80 a month and will crawl 100,000 URI's however they must be crawled within the term of that month. Packages go up in price by quite a bit after however you get a lot more crawls as well.

Another extremely similar but not cloud-based tool called screaming frog has a free version as well as paid version the free version will crawl up to 500 pages for free and the tool is able to be used on Mac, PC & Ubuntu

The cost is one time cost of  100 British pounds approximately 170 US  you do have to renew the license to update, but that is only once a year and it is worth every cent.

The only thing you have to worry about with local installation is  your computers specifications most importantly RAM

( this only becomes a problem with extremely large sites but it is all depending on your computer of course)

You can crawl unlimited URI's and your license to update the tool expires after 365 days it is a true bargain.

this is a fantastic guide to doing almost anything with screaming frog guide by SEER Interactive it is valuable in fact using both tools because of their similarities I found this guide applies to both.

http://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/screaming-frog-guide

http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/

I use that in combination of  the tools below Before people think I am a tool only type of person believe me I am not.

They are not designed to do the work for you simply make some of it easier most of the work is done by learning. you can get much more out of using Moz learning, Distilled U, and other great resources than you can by hitting a button but the combination is a synergy.

For complete audits I recommend

Ahrefs, Moz ( all tools), MajesticSEO  AuthorityLabs, SERPS,Deep Crawl Screaming Frog Brightedge, AnalyticsSEO, Searchmetrics, Raven, SEMRush & Marin Software.

kind of overkill but I believe they all add something

http://deepcrawl.co.uk/use-cases/architecture-optimisation

Make sure that the keyword research is done by somebody who knows what they are doing. You have a site that needs a lot of love and care, but definitely is salvageable.

you have to fix your XML site map considering you are using Yoast I would use that site map over the one you are using. You are very few links in your XML site map

Hi Nicolaj,

I am happy I could be of help. by the way, GetFlywheel Can put you in a Singapore data center.

the crawl links you can click on the arrow for more information for instance your pointing Google at a non-indexed page with the canonical tag this is just an example of what you can see
