To avoid errors in our Moz crawl, we removed subdomains from our host. (First we tried 301 redirects, also listed as errors.) Now we have backlinks all over the web that are broken. How bad is this, from a pagerank standpoint?
We had a sitewide 301 redirect for the subdomain. This was tested and worked fine, but MOZ considered every page that was redirect as duplicate page content error. So then, we simply deleted the subdomain on the host server. Our error count went down dramatically. Broken backlinks - which we found through Webmaster Tools - are still going to the subdomain, commercial.vigilantinc.com, and are broken because that no longer exists on our host server. I guess my question is, should we re-establish the subdomain with 301 redirects (which MOZ apparently doesn't recognize) or live with the broken links to our site? Thanks, everyone, for responding.

Since July 1, we've had a HUGE jump in errors on our weekly crawl. We don't think anything has changed on our website. Has MOZ changed something that would account for a large leap in duplicate content and duplicate title errors?
Thank you, Lynn. Our duplicate content generally comes from a subdomain we are trying to eliminate: commercial.vigilantinc.com, which is redirected to vigilantinc.com/commercial, and from our online shop, shop.vigilantinc.com. Our redirects are server-side, so this morning we updated the htaccess file so include the redirects. Our crawl doesn't happen for a few days, but we will see if that solves the problem. (We have always included the Rewrite rule to eliminate the www in our htaccess file.) Thanks so much for your response!
