Moz was unable to crawl your site? Redirect Loop issue
-
Moz was unable to crawl your site on Jul 25, 2017. I am getting this message for my site: It says "unable to access your homepage due to a redirect loop.
Site is working fine and last crawled on 22nd July. I am not sure why this issue is coming.
When I checked the website in Chrome extension it saysThe server has previously indicated this domain should always be accessed via HTTPS (HSTS Protocol). Chrome has cached this internally, and did not connect to any server for this redirect. Chrome reports this redirect as a "307 Internal Redirect" however this probably would have been a "301 Permanent redirect" originally. You can verify this by clearing your browser cache and visiting the original URL again.
Not sure if this is actual issue, This is migrated on Https just 5 days ago so may be it will resolved automatically. Not sure, can anybody from Moz team help me with this?

HI,just checking if anyone figured out the issue with this?
-
Yes, this is actually very confusing.
I don't know on which metrics Moz is crawling the websites and providing the issues report. Few days back when I put the query I also got this issue on my website and now this issue is removed automatically.
Nothing is alarming in Google Webmasters too and when I checked manually everything seems fine. So, can't say much about this issue
So, if you will get some solution then just let me know also so that I can also work on this
Thanks anyways.

Hey Guys
I'm getting the same redirect loop error today for one of my client's sites. We have not changed anything on the site recently and it worked perfectly in Moz Pro Campaign for several weeks, so what's happened? The same thing happened to another client of mine a week ago. Their site crawled perfectly in Moz for weeks, but all of a sudden Moz could not crawl it because of a redirect loop issue.
The site is http://aprilrandlelaw.com/
FULL ERROR MESSAGE
We were unable to access your homepage due to a redirect loop, which prevented us from crawling the rest of your site. Your homepage is likely redirecting to itself. Because we can only crawl if we find unique pages, the redirect on your homepage is stopping us from crawling past that page. It is possible that other browsers and search engines are encountering this problem and aborting their sessions as well. We recommend eliminating any unnecessary, circular or indefinite redirects on your homepage. Also, make sure your site is not mandating cookies, which can cause circular redirects and make crawling more difficult. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster.

Hi Rahul. You can run your site through Goodle's Pagespeed Insights tool and also see the redirects. Also there are many other things reported by Pagespeed that could be fixed. I have found optimizing images and minification to be pretty simple and Pagespeed will provide the optimized files for download.
Best!

Thanks Chris for your reply.
No, not plugin.
we used 301 but redirect path in Chrome is showing 302 on www and 301 then on https://kuzyklaw.com
May be this is why we are getting this issue, I will check with my developers to fix this. Thanks anyways.

Hi. Hopefully MOZ team will respond but I noticed if I type "http://www.kuzyklaw.com" I get a 301 to "https://www.kuzyklaw.com" and then another 301 to "https://kuzyklaw.com/".
One to many redirects I think. Noticed you are WP. Did you use a plugin for the https change?

How do I get more video reviews on a new site?
Hi, I'm working on a site that has video reviews of various places. It's general information/experience that most people possess and production-wise they are selfies. These videos are then transcribed and, voila... searchable content. My problem is this... how do I get large numbers of people to go to the trouble to make a 2 minute selfie? I thought about HARO, since one could work in a plug for something, but they have a site traffic threshold that this new site isn't at. Any and all ideas on how to efficiently generate this content for a new site with very little traffic would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is my competitor up to no good? Strange site-explorer results.
I'm researching a competitor using site explorer and the seomoz toolbar and getting some strange results. When you search by the domain name in site explorer you get no results, but the toolbar shows 170K incoming links. http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=www.augustagreenlawns.com I noticed the top referring page was a strange internal url so I ran that through site explorer and discovered 19 links.. When you put the strange link in a browser, it redirects to the home url;.. At this url the toolbar shows 220 links and semoz shows 19 http://www.augustagreenlawns.com/?xid_78e7f=0f2a64344c8de6bdf2d8cdf8de93ea5c http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=www.augustagreenlawns.com%2F%3Fxid_78e7f%3D0f2a64344c8de6bdf2d8cdf8de93ea5c What is up with that url? What are they doing? This is a site ranking #1 for my local search term even though he has about 50 pages of almost duplicate content. See link below. I'm really scratching my head here. http://www.augustagreenlawns.com/home.php?all=categories

Are moz analytics now redundant ?
Whilst there have been quite a few q & a's and one or two posts on the blog about the google onslaught on "unnatural" links, with over 1 million sites impacted I'm surprised Moz hasn't said more about this. With google now muddying the waters even further about what is natural or not (with due respect to Moz, if you're not a brand like Moz, the vast majority of seo's buy some links one way or the other) with all the uncertainty, how is it now possible to trust any metrics about links ? In essence, does Domain Rank and Domain Trust now mean anything in the new google world and can they be relied upon ? No doubt someone will come back and say that a lot don't buy any links. Fair enough but the reality is that most do some kind of deals for links, writing in niches like law it is very difficult to get people to share content. Simply a fact. The Serps are in a mess. Google has replaced many decent sites who played the game to one degree or another, with a lot of sites that are worthless, not bothering with links or content,, so rising by default ! Directory sites seem to be doing better again, because, you guessed it, they are brands like yell.

If a site is punished by google like -30, or -60, are the link from that site efficient?
Like this way, if I build a blog and in some situation, the blog is punished by google as some reason I don't know, all the rank dropped and got the -30 punishment. If I put a outbound link on the sidebar, or footer position. what it'll be for that link? A is punished, a link is put on the A website and link to B website what that link means to B punished got many ways Thank you
