OSE shows URLs redirecting to our custom created error page, is this a problem?.
-
When I check the link metrics for my product pages in OSE, it shows a message saying that the page redirects to our custom error page. This page was recently created to display when there is an error with the website.
Do I need to be concerned that OSE is seeing all product pages as redirecting to this error page? Will it affect page authority etc,?
I have attached a screen shot of the message that OSE displays for reference.

Thanks Keri

If you send an email to help@seomoz.org the help desk can look and make sure that OSE is seeing everything properly.
-
I'm still looking into it at the moment Keri, although I haven't seen any negative affects so far.
-
Are you still having this problem, or did you get it figured out?
-
Thanks for the suggestion.
The Google bot fetches it successfully. Where would it display the error being triggered?
-
Not yet, thanks for the suggestion. I will have a look into it.

Without seeing the site in question I cannot be 100% sure, but if OSE is seeing the page as redirecting, there is a good chance google does too. (And as such, would be indexing your error page and not the product page) I would suspect that a searchbot coming to the page via an external link is always triggering an error (or alternativly all pages are being redirected through the error page first) Perhaps you could try google webmaster tool's 'fetch as googlebot' to see if it is causing a problem?

Did you checked in your .htaccess file to see if there is a 301 redirection?

GA Landing Page Inaccuracies
I had seen a thread on this a while back but no solution posted. There was a link posted to someone else explaining the issue but I got a 404 when clicking. Have a client that does mostly PPC and they are getting their conversion page showing up as landing page from paid many times. This is definitely not a sitelink, etc. The only way you get to this page is if you filled out the form. There are a few other pages showing up as landing pages that don't make sense too. Can this be attributed to someone being "inactive" for 30 minutes and then coming back and performing an action on this page (leaving)? If so, does this double count the conversion if a page visit here is a conversion? Just trying to make sense of the landing page report showing so many instances of our conversion page. Thanks in advance!

URL Keyword & Meta Title Problem
I was just reviewing my Moz report and came across something I could use advice on. The Keyword is "irish cardigans" I just moved to down a place to #5. I was going to add content to the page and back link a little to get back up on rankings but I noticed it is not all matching up. My Keyword is "irish cardigans" My Url is structured: products/traditional-irish-clothing-arans My metatitle is: Irish Sweaters - Traditional Irish Clothing - Arans & Cardigans The content title on the page heading is: Irish Sweaters and Cardigans. How will I change this to get my ranking better for "Irish Cardigans" The Page is also ranking for "Traditional Irish Clothing and Irish Sweaters" How do I know if I structure it to "Irish Cardigans" I will not loose traffic etc from the other keywords. Thanks

Rel=nofollow link to a NoFollow, NoIndex Page?
I have a multitude of "schedule a demo" pages/forms on my site that are all identical, so I have on all of them. My question is, should I also place on the link to the "schedule a demo" pages? I know the generic rule is to never nofollow any internal links (per Matt Cutts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVOOB_Q0MZY), but should that still apply if the link directs to a page that is noindex, nofollow? Thanks for your input in advance; don't want to run into, as Matt Cutts puts it, "a mini kerfuffle!"

Should I delete a page that gets search traffic, that I don't care about?
I have a page on my site that consistently gets traffic, every month. Googlers seems to love it. But I don't like it at all. Webmaster tools shows that google allows us a certain number of search impressions each day. - it flatlines, they are limiting the impressions we get. We also getthe same number of clickthroughs each day. So my question is for anyone who has this same experience, who may have experimented by deleting a page you don't care about. Did you just lose that number of clicks each day or did other pages on your site get displayed and clicked through instead?
