Crawl Diagnostics Shows thousands of 302's from a single url. I'm confused
-
Hi guys I just ran my first campaign and the crawl diagnostics are showing some results I'm unfamiliar with..
In the warnings section it shows 2,838 redirects.. this is where I want to focus.
When I click here it shows 5 redirects per page. When I go to click on page 2, or next page, or any other page than page 1 for that matter... this is where things get confusing. Nothing shows.
Downloading the csv reveals that 2,834 of these are all showing:
URL: http://www.mydomain.com/401/login.php
url: http://www.mydomain.com/401/login.php
referrer: http://www.mydomain.com/401/login.php
location_header: http://www.mydomain.com/401/login.php
I guess I'm just looking for an explanation as to why it's showing so many to the same page and what possible actions can be taken on my part to correct it (if needed).
Thanks in advance

its difficult to tell without knowing how you set up these 302 redirects. This specific URL returns a 404 page and does not redirect to anything which may contribute to the False attribute.
Have you considered just doing a 301 redirect for these pages?

Thanks Derek. You are correct and I apologize for not being clearer. Here is a single row from the csv output below. I also included a screenshot of the entire row with the headers so you know what you're looking at..
http://www.mydomain.com/401/login.php http://www.mydomain.com/401/login.php FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE 302 text/html; charset=UTF-8 http://www.mydomain.com/401/login.php 0 2012-09-06T13:03:37Z 0 0 0 0 http://www.mydomain.com/401/login.php

If these were in the warning section, then these are temporary redirects, correct? Can you provide a screen shot?

Solving URL Too Long Issues
Moz.com is reporting that many URL's are to long, these particularly affect Product URL's where the URL is typically https://www.domainname.com/collections/category-name/products/product-name, (You guessed it we're using Shopify). However, we use Canonicals that ignore all most of the URL and are just structured https://www.domainname.com/product-name, so Google should be reading the Canonical and not the long-winded version. However, Moz cannot seem to spot this... does anyone else have this problem and how to solve so that we can satisfy the Moz.com crawl engine?

Does SEOmoz have a Keyword Research tool similar to, say, the Google AdWords tool or the WebCEO Keyword Research Tool? And where might that be? (Sorry, I'm very new to SEOmoz Pro.)
I'm looking for an SEOmoz version of the classic WebCEO Keyword Research that would give you effective suggestions based on a keyword inquiry. I've made the switch from WebCEO, but I'm trying to find something similar to that Keyword Research tool. Am I going to just need to use the Google AdWords tool for this function or does SEOmoz have it's own version?

Can I exclude pages from my Crawl Diagnostics?
Right now my crawl diagnostic information is being skewed because it's including the onsite search from my website.

My search pages are coming up as: Long URL Title Element Too Long Missing Meta Description Blocked by meta-robots (Which is how I want it) Rel Canonical Here is what the crawl diagnostic thinks my page URL looks like: website.com/search/gutter%25252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525 252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252 525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525 252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252 52525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252Bcleaning/ Thank you, Jonathan
