Hi thanks for this, I don't think there is a redirect on the site apart from the root domain to the www version

sorry, the g is not meant to be there!!  just www.doc-department.com

Hi, yes the URL is www.doc-department.comg

many thanks for looking at this

Gail

I am trying to set up a new campaign for a client, but Moz keeps saying his URL is not valid.  Any ideas why?

The client's site is live, I can see it in the Google SERPs.

Many thanks

Hi Daniel,

I use SEO Ultimate and ticked all 4 boxes to canonicalise my categories, tags, post format archives and picture tags.

The problem I have is that Moz picks new blog post tags as individual URLs and reports them as duplicate content - I am wondering if anyone in the Moz community understands why and what to do to correct this (might post a new question on the topic if no replies come in here)

After quick tweeting session with Joost de Valk @yoast this is the answer:

yeah that doesn’t work (posting content in widgets), known issue. We’re working on adding a filter to the post content that PODS could hook into.

Once again, many thanks for responding

Gail

thanks for taking the time to look into this.  the tags are fine in Yoast but it is reporting no content on the site.  i can see the content in html on the page source but am worried that if Yoast crawls the site in the same way that the search engines do, then it is going to cache without any content - even when i add content into the content widget it is not picked up by Yoast - very strange...

thanks for your response, this was along the lines of my thinking and i was about to try a different plugin - until i read the response below.  will update any findings

Hi

I am optimising a new site that has been built in Wordpress using Pods.  The Yoast Wordpress SEO plugin is not recognising any content on the site - has anyone any ideas on how to get around this - does it matter - is it the plugin that is at fault rahter than the set up of the site?

Thanks Sam, i've always viewed these reports as trend reports, but realised i had never understood the date formats underneath them!

the particular date format I am refering to is in the crawl report - the dates are 10/1  7/1  4/1 repeated over and over

i have a feeling it is going to be a very obvious answer but, is it the number of days gone past and why would SEO not just use standard calendar dates?

question is in the title - new trainee asked me and couldn't actually answer!

I do not have access to their old ftp neither do they.  the old site has been taken down.  i did repoint their old domain name to the new domain and do a change of address in webmaster - just very annoying not to have been able to have done a full 301 page remapping of the old site to new and means we have to wait until Google changes the address of the old domain or removes it from the SERPS.

Trying to build good links to new site to give it credibiity around its brand name and doing lots of social!

I have no access to an old wordpress site of a client's, but have parked the domain on their new site, gone into webmaster central and requested a change of address and wait...

the old domain still shows in the search listings in place of the new site domain and the log files show 404 errors from links to the old site which go nowhere - can anyone suggest a way of managing this on the new site - is there a workaround to what should have been done - 301 redirects on the old site before it was taken down.

many thanks
