My company has about 70 live pages. Moz crawled 6k. Why?

My company has about 70 live, published pages on our website, which is managed through HubSpot. When Moz crawled the URL, it found 6K+. I noticed several were URLs with a campaign tag. Is this normal? It seems excessive to me. If there's a problem, how do I fix it?

Hi there!

Thanks for the question! Sorry for the trouble here. We would be happy to look into this for you! Would you be able to send an email to help@moz.com with the name of the Campaign you're working with?

Thank you so much!

No that's not normal and it means you are internally linking to campaign tag URLs which is probably also causing loads of data pollution in GA

For something like this, I'd expect it's an infinitely-recursive URL nesting error or something like that. A client of mine had a similar example lately, they had URLs like site.com/fr/product and you could click the flag in the nav to change language, for example ending up at site.com/en/product (English instead of French)

The problem was, if you were on EN and you clicked the EN flag again, it would go to site.com/en/en/product (infinitely adding to the language layer). Errors like this on cookie-cutter, cloud-managed sites are very, very common (their tech teams often aren't fantastic to be honest)
