Why am I getting 400 client errors on pages that work?
-
Hi,
I just done the initial crawl on y domain and I sem to have 80 400 client errors. However when I visit the urls the pages are loading fine. Any ideas on why this is happening and how I can resolve the problem?

Hi Robert,
Thanks for you response. I've resolved the issue now. I started by doing a crawl test which gave me the same number of 400 urls but revealed that they contained "../../../" in them which seems to be something annoying the cms I'm using creates (these weren't being displayed like this in the campaign error view). I've corrected these urls and done a crawl and I seem to be clear of 400s.

Rob is correct, there is little we can do to help without a url

Without an example url, it is hard to properly diagnose the problem. One thing I had to get past when I was first using SEOmoz, was that often the errors were not really on urls that would be on the sitemap per se. With CMS like WP or Joomla, sometimes we will get errors around the plugins, themes, widgets, and apps. An example of one is:
ExampleSite.info/wp-content/themes/EarthlyTouch/js/idtabs.js
So, make sure you don't just look at the start of the url, but cut and paste it from the error report to be sure. If you know it is a page that is resolving correctly, I would suggest putting in a ticket for Support (click on help at top right of this page) or email help@SEOmoz.org.

I have a duplicate content on my Moz crawler, but google hasn't indexed those pages: do I still need to get rid of the tags?
I received an urgent error from the Moz crawler that I have duplicate content on my site due to the tags I have. For example: http://www.1forjustice.com/graves-amendment/ The real article found here: http://www.1forjustice.com/car-accident-rental-car/ I didn't think this was a big deal, because when I looked at my GWT these pages weren't indexed (picture attached). Question: should I bother fixing this from an SEO perspective? If Google isn't indexing the pages, then am I losing link juice? 6c2kxiZ

Home Page Location Redirect
We have recently upgraded our Wordpress site to detect your local city and redirect to the proper location. Previously we had independent sites - for example, http://atlanta.styleblueprint.com is now http://styleblueprint.com/atlanta We've setup 301 redirects on all of the old site home pages. Now we have two issues: Moz will no longer crawl our domain. For two weeks now our campaign shows only four pages crawled None of our home pages show up in Google any longer for organic searches. We previously always ranked #1 for "styleblueprint" or "style blueprint" Does our new auto redirect mess things up? Or is this just a function of time until Google "learns" how to index our new site? All thoughts appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jay

Issue in number of pages crawled
i wanted to figure out how our friend Roger Bot works. On the first crawl of one of my large sites, the number of pages crawled stopped at 10000 (due to the restriction on the pro account). However after a few weeks, the number of pages crawled went down to about 5500. This number seemed to be a more accurate count of the pages on our site. Today, it seems that Roger Bot has completed another crawl and the number is up to 10000 again. I know there has been no downtime on our site, and the items that we fixed on our site did not reduce or increase the number of pages we had. Just making sure there are no known issues with Roger Bot before I look deeper into our site to see if there is an issue. Thanks!

On-page Optimization Grade Change
I can see the grade change for my on-page optimization in the weekly email, however, when I load the summary page on only rank change shows, grade change is blank across the board. I also tried downloading and see the same results. Is this a bug on the website? Thanks!

What do i do when all pages are grade A?
I've used the on page grade and now have all my pages at a grade A for relevant keywords. Most of them are cool, achieveing first page rankings apart from a few massive keywords. So the question is, what's next? What do i do now that I'm at grade A, but perhaps not #1 yet... Cheers -dan
