      I just ran a very quick scan of your site and you have thousands of blog and category pages.

      There is a chance because of this that you are seeing a penalty - This is just one of the pages: http://www.calibersi.com/category/Vehicle-Graphics?page=1904

      I would start by having a quick look at how the site / blog is setup and seeing if there is anything glaringly obvious there.

        Hey Andy;

        Thanks for the quick response: That would explain the 10k moz found, what tool did you use to create the attachment?

        Although, I did add the to all these pages to prevent them from being crawled.

          Hi Jack,

          I used Screaming Frog Spider to run the report, which is still going and up to about 9k pages so far.

            I did add the to all these pages to prevent them from being crawled.  That should do the trick right?

            I'll have to check the software to see why its doing that.

              I would look at your Wordpress install first Jack. There is no way this sort of number of pages should be getting generated. Sort that out and you have sorted a huge problem out.

                    Hey Andy;

                    Can you rerun the check on the site and see if my fix address the billion page issue?  www.calibersi.com, I added code to block the crawlers from indexing these pages and a redirect to an error page if the count exceeds the available posts.  It should do it but it would be great to get another set of eyes on it 🙂

                      Much better Jack 🙂

                      I see only about 50 pages now. Hopefully this will cure some of your issues now.

                        Awesome, any thoughts on what I can check or do to see if there are any other potential issues with Google.  I'm a bit concerned that there is a penalty on this site.
