Meta Description issue
-
Hi Guys,
I'm going through my campaign report and i seem to have an excessive amount of missing Meta descriptions. How ever when i check the backend the descriptions seem to be present

Can any one explain to me why this is occurring?
-
Nope, these are unrelated issues. The lack of meta descriptions is an error in your code.
-
Thanks Federico,
Could any of the above issues that you list be responsible for the Meta Descriptions not appearing?
-
EDIT:
You should check your entire HTML code, there seems to be lots of issues there, for example:
- The tags do not have closure tag ( NO), just like the image tags.
- You have JS syntax errors.
- Your site seems slow from my end, consider gzip compression and minifying and unifying resources.
-
Your site in fact lacks of lots of meta description. In the page you posted, you have the OG:DESCRIPTION tag, but not the description tag. If you are using some kind of CMS make sure you have the description tags active, the content could be the same as the one in the OG:DESCRIPTION.

I get a redirect chain issue, but is it because of how I entered the campaign?
I get a redirect chain issue, but I see that I enter the website in Moz as http://www.website.com Google and everywhere else have it as https://www.website.com so I would imaging Google would never run into this issue, only the Moz bot does because of how it's entered. However, I can't change the campaign, so do I just ignore it? Or is there still an actual problem that needs to be addressed?

Www and non www / duplicate content / redirects / www resolve issue
I am not getting docked for these specific errors, but I am getting docked for 1 page has a WWW resolve issue and 1 wrong URL in the sitemap... (SEM Rush) but when I use moz, it's not showing any issues. So I have these things set up so far: In .htaccess i have a command that removes the www. 301 redirect from www version to the non www (homepage) canonical on index.html pointing to non www version, I also set up a canonical tag for each page on the site search console with non www, www, https www, https non www all set to non www preference. Also, when I fetch the www version in google search console it says it's being 301 redirected to non www version which is basically what I want.Is there anything that i'm missing? These errors on SEM Rush are giving me anxiety lol.

Has anyone had to deal with Moz crawl issues on their Zendesk support site?
If so - how did you end up resolving them? For instance we have 85 "temporary redirect" errors from our Zendesk support site in our crawl error report and we don't have access to the robots.txt file through Zendesk.

Unusual "internal links" causing SEO issues?
Hi all, I'm working on an ecommerce site which has been around for almost 20 years. Over the years it has started to suffer in Google's search results and the decision was recently made to completely overhaul the site. We're now very happy with the website's design, and care was taken to maintain page rank via 301s, etc. However, the site has just fallen off the bottom of Google's first search result page (for the first time in years) for our main keyword. I signed up here in the hope of using Moz's SEO tools to help us return to our former glory, but I'm seeing some confusing results: I've run a crawl test on our site, as well as on our two biggest competitors. One thing that really stood out was that we have over 1000 "internal links" to our homepage, whereas our competitors both have around 20-30 (both of which appear at the top of the first SR page). Since the rest of the "on-page SEO" looks OK, I suspect that this could be causing our problems, but I don't understand where this "internal links" number is coming from. Links to our competitor's homepage appear in the navigation bar on every single one of their product pages (which they have about 500 of), yet your report only claims that they have 30 links. The only link to the homepage appears in the site's main navigation bar (which obviously appears on every product page - exactly as it does on our competitors' sites). Additionally, almost every other page on our site apparently has 0 "internal links" and 0 page authority. Is this a problem with Moz's crawl test tool, or is our site actually at fault? The above has been asked directly to Moz staff, but I haven't had a reply. I'd hugely appreciate any words of wisdom from the community. Many thanks in advance. Nick

CMS Image caching issue
Hi,
Moz Bar | | YelloMedia
We have been monitoring our clients website, the website has been created using Opencart and I believe has some kind of image cache running, which for some reason gets cleared regularly (Though we didn't create the site). Now our problem is the images are getting crawled and then being cleared from the cache, therefore causing 404 errors. Is there anyway to cure this issue? Regards Tom0
