Getting Redirect Loops in MOZ using Chrome
-
Been getting bizarre Redirect Loops from Chrome after I log-in to MOZ. Has anyone had something like this happen? I've tried clearing cache, rebooting, etc. but no luck. Thanks in advance!
-
Thanks Peter! Much appreciated for opening the ticket.
I just tried logging in now, and it happened again. So hopefully Moz fix the issue. Clearning cookies browser wide isn't an acceptable fix for me as I then lose my Google two-authentication cookies which is a pain.

To be honest Michael I have just been using the method I described above to logout before logging back in again.
I remember reading another Q&A thread where it was reported and someone from Moz responded but maybe they are not aware it is still an issue for some users.
So to hopefully get this resolved I have just sent a support ticket to Moz. It feels like there is a session cookie being stored that isn't being cleared properly and that maybe why moz.com/logout works, but hopefully they will get on to it and get it sorted.
Meantime use the moz.com/logout cure as that always works for me.
I hope that helps, Peter

That did the trick, thanks!
Are moz.com aware of this issue? Having just signed up for a pro-account, it's an incredible turn-off.

Hi Michael
What happens if you put moz.com/logout into your address bar (needs to be lowercase) and hit enter. Does that clear the issue?
This problem has been ongoing for a while but I find doing the above does reset and allows me to then login successfully.

Same issue here. However I'm using Safari/Mac and have just signed up for a pro account and unable to login.
Clearing Cookies isn't working for Safari, however it did work for Firefox.
The error I'm getting is Too many redirects occurred trying to open "analytics.moz.com/pro/home". Loops like your login authentication scheme has an enormous redirect loop as I'm hitting it every time I attempt to login.

Hey Miriam and Danny,
This definitely sounds like a cookies issue. If Peter's solution doesn't work for you, I would recommend making sure you clear the cookies from a few weeks back or even for all time, since I know my settings default to only clearing the cookies from the last few hours.
If you are still experiencing the issue after you've tried these solutions, it would be really helpful if you could send a support request here: http://moz.com/help/contact so we can have our engineers look into the issue further.

Hi Miriam
Yes, it does seem to be cookie related, but if you put moz.com/logout into your address bar and hit enter that seems to clear the session cookie that is causing the issue.
It may be quicker to do that and less destructive to other cookies you have active which you may not want to be cleared.

I've experienced similar. I'll try the cookie solution, and I hope one of our Help Team members will stop by to comment on this, as well.

Hi Danny
Yes the same. As Jesse said, it seems to be cookie related. It was happening earlier in the week too then there seemed to be a day when it was OK, now it's back.
I think it's caused when your login times out because of inactivity, but when you try to login again then the cookie thinks you are still logged in and so you never get taken to the login screen.
I have been clearing it by entering moz.com/logout into the address bar.

Yes this happened to me just moments ago. I cleared my cookies and it's back to working now.

Error Selecting Search Engine During Moz Campaign Set-Up
Hi, I'm setting up a Moz campaign for a new client, and when I get to the third step, "Choose the search engines for which you would like to track rankings," there's nothing to select. No drop down, or anything, just a blank field under the heading. If I try to advance, I get an error pop-up that says I must select a search engine. Has anyone else run into this problem? What should I do? GlWPAsc zAmzqFf

Finding out Who has high DA\PA and getting a backlink
Hi, So, like many others I was always in the top 3 for keywords in google for about a year, then 9 months ago we dropped, we now dont even exisit! (Page 10). One of the actions we are looking at is backlinks, however we have limited budget and want to work with domains that have high DA in order to help us, I assume this is good idea for us to do? Question, how can I easily identity domains that have high DA relevant to my sector? so I can engage in backlinks conversation David

More problems with Moz - Monthly Reporting
Hello All, I may be missing something, but I only want to create monthly reports for my clients from this system. A week in SEO is a terrifying rollercoaster, but any I digress. Currently, i'm adding clients to the system, setting up Analytics, Twitter, Google+, keywords etc. I then go to the custom reports menu as I want to build my report now and schedule it to run at the end of the month, however, because a month has not yet passed, I can only create weekly report segments. This means that I have to add a client to your system and then come back a month later to build a report, this is silly, am I using this wrong or is this not right? I don't care if any data is available, I just want to create the report so I don't have to do it later ideally.

Moz's official stance on Subdomain vs Subfolder - does it need updating?
Hi, I am drawing your attention to Moz's Domain basics here: http://moz.com/learn/seo/domain It reads: "Since search engines keep different metrics for domains than they do subdomains, it is recommended that webmasters place link-worthy content like blogs in subfolders rather than subdomains. (i.e. www.example.com/blog/ rather than blog.example.com) The notable exceptions to this are language-specific websites. (i.e., en.example.com for the English version of the website)." I am wondering if this is still Moz's current recommendation on the subfolders vs subdomains debate, given that the above (sort of) implies that SE's may not combine ranking factors to the domain as a whole if subdomains are used - which (sort of) contradicts Matt Cutts last video on the matter ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MswMYk05tk ) which implies that this is not the case and there is so little difference that their recommendation is to use whatever is easiest. It would also seem to me that if you were looking through the eyes of Google, it would be silly to treat them differently if there were no difference at all other than subdomain vs subfolder as one of the main reasons a user would use a sud-domain is a technical on for which it would not make sense for Google to treat differently in terms of its algorithm. I notice that in terms of Moz, while most of the site uses subfolders, you do have http://devblog.moz.com/ - and I was wondering if this is due to a technical reason or conscious decision, as it would seem to me that the content within this section is indeed linkworthy (as it has external links pointing to it from external sources), therefore it would seem to not be following the initial advice that is posted in Moz's basics on domains. Therefore I am assuming it is due to a technical reason - or that Moz's adive is out of date with current Moz thinking, and is indeed in line with Matt C in that it doesn't matter. Cheers

I am having trouble using tools. Please help.
Hi, I have been using Moz tools like keyword, site explorere. And the results have all these big words in the column that confuse me. In other words, I don't know how to translate the results and understand what the results mean. Is there an easy guide on how to use the tools. Also, once I understand the results, Is there a way to come up with rough estimate on what it takes to rank my site for certain keywords. Is there a step by step or easy guide to become productive after using those tools? I have been through introductory videos and read some material like beginning SEO etc. But having hard time using the tool? Is it just me and every one is blazing with Moz tool?
