How can I clean up my crawl report from duplicate records?

[RyanKent]

I am viewing my Crawl Diagnostics Report.

My report is filled with data which really shouldn't be there. For example I have a page:

http://www.terapvp.com/forums/Ghost/

This is a main forum page. It contains a list of many threads. The list can be sorted on many values. The page is canonicalized, and has been since it was created.

My crawl report shows this page listed 15 times.

http://www.terapvp.com/forums/Ghost/?direction=asc

http://www.terapvp.com/forums/Ghost/?direction=desc

http://www.terapvp.com/forums/Ghost/?order=post_date

and so forth. Each of those pages uses the same canonicalization reference shared above.

I have three questions:

• Why is this data appearing in my crawl report? These pages are properly canonicalized.

• If these pages are supposed to appear in the report for some reason, how can I remove them? My desire is to focus on any pages which may have an issue which needs to be addressed.

This site has about 50 forum pages and when you add an extra 15 pages per forum, it becomes a lot harder to locate actionable data. To make matters worse, these forum indexes often have many pages. So if I have a "Corvette" forum there that is 10 pages long, then there will be 150 extra pages just for that particular forum in my crawl report.

• Is there anything I am missing? To the best of my knowledge everything is set up according to the best SEO practices. If there is any other opinions, I would like to hear them.
