On-Page Grader URL inaccessible when copy/pasted but not when edited
-
Hi!,
I've looked through multiple topics on this but none quite seem to fit what's going on - hopefully someone can help!
I get the error message 'Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible.' when I copy and paste a url from my site into the search e.g. http://www.orbussoftware.com/enterprise-architecture/
However if I edit this to https the search completes fine.
Since we redesigned our site approx 6 months ago, we've found most of our rankings have completely dropped off, and now I'm getting this error I'm wondering if it has something to do with how our site is structured? If I'm getting this error with Moz does that mean Google could be having issues too? Or is it all just a strange quirk?
Thanks!

Hi Kristina,
Thanks for the reply! I think that helps (in the sense I now know how messy our site structure is...). As I think any more conversation will get very site specific, I'll continue this with moz help

Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
I had a chance to peek at the URL that you've provided (http://www.orbussoftware.com/enterprise-architecture/) and it appears that this URL currently has a 302 redirect in place and is redirecting to this URL: http://www.orbussoftware.com:80/us/enterprise-architecture/.
When you pull this URL up in a browser, it's directing fine, but your site is treating our tool differently when we attempt to access it.
Another thing I noticed, too, is that you also have a https:// version of your site and when we plug the URL https://www.orbussoftware.com/enterprise-architecture/ not only does that resolve OK in a browser, but it works with the On-Page Grader as well. So, you have two different versions of your site that are configured differently when handling requests from us.
I'd recommend reaching out to your web developer to see if there's anything they can do to help out with the above.
I hope this helps but feel free to reach out to our team directly at help@moz.com if you find out there's anything further we can assist with - and sorry for the inconvenience!

HI thanks for the reply.
I don't think I was clear, that URL works fine, its the on-page grader that doesn't recognise it and requires me to edit it to https before it recognises it as accessible. So, I'm copy-pasting the url when I'm on our enterprise architecture page directly into the onpage grader, and that's when I get the error.

I'm having no trouble accessing the site via the link you provided. Might be a caching issue on your browser.

How Can I Batch Upload URLs to get PA for many pages?
Howdy folks, I'm using advanced search operators to generate lists of long tail queries related to my niche and I'd like to take the batch of URLs I've gathered and upload them in a batch so I can see what the PA is for each URL. This would help me determine which long tail query is receiving the most love and links and help inform my content strategy moving forward. But I can't seem to find a way to do this. I went to check out the Moz API but it's a little confusing. It says there's a free version, but then it looks like it's actually not free, then I try to use it and it says I've gone over my limit even though I haven't used it yet. Anyone that can help me with this, I'd really appreciate it. If you're familiar with SEMRush, they have a batch analysis tool that works well, but I ideally want to upload these URLs to Moz because it's better for this kind of research. Thanks!

German blog post with mutated vowel. Page optimization says keyword is not used.
Hey guys! I'm trying to optimize for a keyword that includes a mutated vowel (ä for example). In the URL I simply put it as ae (which most sites that I checked do). For whatever reason it says the keyword is not used on the site at all - which isn't true. Is this a known problem? Haven't found anything in the forums. Thanks for the help. Florian

Is there anyway to track on-page grader grades for a site?
As opposed to going through the process of inputting the urls and keywords every couple of weeks, is there a way of Moz to send the scores for those keywords and the domain to which the url belongs?

How can the Moz Page Grader support a 'keyword portfolio' approach?
I used to use the Page Grader tools to support the old philosophy of one page - one keyword. With more focus now being given to a portfolio of keywords around a topic area - what would be a good approach to using the page grader tool? Obviously getting A's and B's is impossible for multiple keywords. The only way i've seen suggested in moz tools to help with keyword portfolios is to use labels in the ranking measurement and then find averages of the results. Are there other strategies that I can try?

Duplicate page content/page titles on tages
Hello everyone. New to the community and loving it already. Question, I am receiving an error of 6 pages with duplicate content and page titles. A majority of these are tag pages. Should I be worried about these? IN the column listed duplicate urls it is listing 0 ( screen shot: http://screencast.com/t/azvuVk0ucWt) Are these tags a problem? Will SEO be hurt because of this? What are TAG pages? Actually pages, categories, should I eliminate these?

Moz reporting appropriate Canonical tag usage but no canonical tag on page !?
I take it this means that the page in question has been referenced via a different pages canonical tag but that the page in question itself does not have a self referencing canonical tag (and that it should do) cheers dan

Inconsistent On-Page Grader results
Hello everyone! I am fairly new to the MOZ tools but I'm finding some inconsistencies in the On-Page grader.. I have tested several pages (some of which I know have doos and bad SEO) and the results I keep getting are very volatile. For example, I have looked at testing http://www.sportingwebdesign.com for "Sports Website Design" - one minute it gave me a grade F, then then 2 minutes after I refresh the page and it gave me a grade A.. I am very confused and a bit worried that this tool may be a bit volatile... Anyone have any thoughts?
