Duplicate page errors from pages don't even exist

[mmoezzi]

Hi,

I am having this issue within SEOmoz's Crawl Diagnosis report.  There are a lot of crawl errors happening with pages don't even exist.

My website has around 40-50 pages but SEO report shows that 375 pages have been crawled.

My guess is that the errors have something to do with my recent htaccess configuration. I recently configured my htaccess to add trailing slash at the end of URLs. There is no internal linking issue such as infinite loop when navigating the website but the looping is reported in the SEOmoz's report.

Here is an example of a reported link:

http://www.mywebsite.com/Door/Doors/GlassNow-Services/GlassNow-Services/Glass-Compliance-Audit/GlassNow-Services/GlassNow-Services/Glass-Compliance-Audit/

btw there is no issue such as crawl error in my Google webmaster tool.

Any help appreciated

Hi Mohammed,

Are you using absolute URLs for any canonical tags you have in place? Also, are you using absolute URLs for all of your internal links? You probably are, but I thought I'd better ask before diving in deeper.  Hope I can help a little.

Thanks Mohammad. I am glad it is all resolved. Yes, broken or malformed links can often be like gremlins and cause all kinds of odd things to show up in crawl reports.

Ciao!
