302 redirected links not found
-
There are so many 302 redirected links you found among which most are for the pages which needs users to login to view the pages so redirection to login page is unavoidable. For example: https://www.stopwobble.com/wishlist/index/add/product/98199/form_key/QE0kEzOF2yO3DTtt/
Also we don't have product compare functionlity, but still there are so many links from compare page which redirects to respective category page. For exammple: http://www.stopwobble.com/catalog/product_compare/add/product/98199/uenc/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5zdG9wd29iYmxlLmNvbS93b2JibGUtd2VkZ2Vz/form_key/QE0kEzOF2yO3DTtt/
We need to know from where Moz crawler is detecting these links so that we can supress them from being crawled. I already tries to review overall site and confirmed these links nowhere exists in page source or in sitemap.xml

I checked your site with Screaming Frog - the issue with the product compare is solved. There is still a problem with the wishlist.
Example http://www.stopwobble.com/wobble-wedge-white-hard-300-wedges.html - if you look at the source there are links to https://www.stopwobble.com/wishlist/index/add/product/81170/form_key/XdNIJWsLMTHVFpVh/ which still give 302
You should also correct links of type http://www.stopwobble.com/sales/order/history/ in your HTML
Don't forget that Moz Crawl is only once a week - so the errors will only disappear next crawl.

Hi,
According to your suggestions, we removed both the compare and wishlist links, but they are still showing in the crawler results. You can check our Home page source code, you see there is no such link present. We need to know from where Moz crawler is detecting these links.
Crawler show so many links in result,
Some example of links which are listed in crawler test result :
https://www.stopwobble.com/wishlist/index/add/product/14863/form_key/bQsMmVLP9zouZbKc

Hi there
So, I would download ScreamingFrog first off, as it will give you a rundown of if these issues are internal links or sitemap issues.
It looks like the issues you are facing are internal link issues, meaning they are being picked up on your website in the menu or content. I would go through those and make sure they are updated to the correct URL. Most of theses seem to be buttons or links with the anchor text "Add to Compare". If that functionality is no longer on the site, I would remove it as soon as possible.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi,
While these links may not be visible on the page itself - they do exist in the HTML.
Just take a look at the source code of your homepage & search for the word 'compare' and you'll find links like this:
- class="separator">|<a <span="" class="html-tag">href</a><a <span="" class="html-tag">="</a>http://www.stopwobble.com/catalog/product_compare/add/product/98500/uenc/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5zdG9wd29iYmxlLmNvbS8,/form_key/Vw93RYTNzbI4GGns/" class="link-compare">Add to Compare
which will be followed by bots.
You could put a "nofollow" on these links (probably the easiest solution), block /product_compare using robots.txt - or use javascript to insert the links only when users are logged in.
rgds,
Dirk

Should we Nofollow Social Links?
I've been asked the question of whether if we should nofollow all of our social links, would this be a wise thing to do? I'm not exactly getting a clear answer from search results and thought you guys would be best to ask 🙂 Thanks in advance.

Redirects - How Best to do this ?
Hi I am looking to close Website A which has many pages. I would like to keep the home page and add some great content to it with a link pointing to Website B. As for all the other pages excluding the home page , how is it best to approach them on Website A. Should I redirect them all to the home page of Website A which will tell Google thoose Pages are no longer needed and to prevent the visitors from seeing a 404? My Main aim here is to not lose any visitors to Website A by sending them to Website B but also to hopefully pass any Page strength from Website A to Website B Thanks Adam

Google Links
I am assuming that the list presented by Google Webmaster tools (TRAFFIC | Links To Your Site) is the one that will actually be used by Google for indexing ? There seem to be quite a few links that there that should not be there. ie Assumed NOFOLLOW links. Am I working under an incorrect assumption that all links in webmaster tools are actually followed ?

Domain redirect
Recently we launched a site under a new domain, the site is doing well under the URL. Client calls me today and would like to have another domain he owns point to the new site. The domain he has has no history and no content. He is under the impression that people are looking for him by typing in www.domainxyz.com. I attempted to explain otherwise to him, but I lost. Question, what are the drawbacks of taking this domin and doing a perm redirect via . Httpaccess file?

Redirect not picking up any link juice
Hi, We recently had a domain name change, as we had an established site we had all pages redirected to the new domain. This was over a month ago but despite the redirect SEOmoz doesn't recognise any links to and from the site. Is this due to simply time duration and SEOmoz can't pick up on any redirected info, or could there be a problem with the redirect? Thanks, Adam

Advises for redirects
I worked on a website since 2 years now (mainly link building). Now, I need to change the CMS and the hosting company of this website. In order to improve the SEO of this website, I decided to change the URL structure as well, see example here below: Actual situation: http://www.mywebsite.com

http://www.mywebsite.com/de/ortak Since the hosting, the CMS and the URL’s will change, what you recommend me to do in order to keep a maximum of “link juice” to the pages!? How / Where to setup the 301 redirects?0 -
Add to Cart Link
We have shopping cart links (<a href's,="" not="" input="" buttons)="" that="" link="" to="" a="" url="" along="" the="" lines="" of="" cart="" add="" 123&return="/product/123. </p"></a> <a href's,="" not="" input="" buttons)="" that="" link="" to="" a="" url="" along="" the="" lines="" of="" cart="" add="" 123&return="/product/123. </p">The SEOMoz site crawls are flagging these as a massive number of 302 redirects and I also wonder what sort of effect this is having on linkjuice flowing around the site. </a> <a href's,="" not="" input="" buttons)="" that="" link="" to="" a="" url="" along="" the="" lines="" of="" cart="" add="" 123&return="/product/123. </p">I can see several possible solutions: Make the links nofollow Make the links input buttons Block /cart/add with robots.txt Make the links 301 instead of 302 Make the links javascript (probably worst care) All of these would result in an identical outcome for the UX, but are very different solutions. What would you suggest?</a>
