Screaming Frog returning both HTTP and HTTPS results...
-
Hi,
About 10 months I switched from HTTP to HTTPS. I then switched back (long story).
I noticed that Screaming Frog is picking up the HTTP and HTTPS version of the site. Maybe this doesn't matter, but I'd like to know why SF is doing that. The URL is: www.aerlawgroup.com
Any feedback, including how to remove the HTTPS version, is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

No problem! I'm not too familiar with secure migrations in WP, but I bet there is some kind of plugin for that.

Hi,
Thank you! Fixing that link prevents SF from finding the HTTPS pages.
I use WP for this site. Is there a quick way to redirect HTTPS to HTTP? As opposed to forwarding page by page? Ideally, there is a way in WP (either in WP directly or via some plugin) that I can tell WP to automatically 301 redirect all HTTPS to HTTP. I use WPEngine for my hosting, if that's at all relevant.
Thank you again for your excellent answer.

Hi,
Found the source of your issue: this URL (https://www.aerlawgroup.com/sex-crimes.html) has a link pointing to it from a HTTP URL (http://www.aerlawgroup.com/sex-crimes/new-allegations-emerge-in-sexual-misconduct-case.html), which is probably how SF found all the other secure URLs.
All of your HTTPS page return 200. If you want to go back to non-secure, those secure URLs will need to be redirected back to HTTP, the same as you probably did when you went to secure.
Also, looks like you've still got a couple HTTPS pages indexed: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aaerlawgroup.com+inurl%3Ahttps&oq=site%3Aaerlawgroup.com+inurl%3Ahttps&gs_l=serp.3...5577.15088.0.15655.24.24.0.0.0.0.150.1864.19j5.24.0....0...1.1.64.serp..3.0.0.bf5ZiosfHMI

Incorrect URL shown in Google search results
Can anyone offer any advice on how Google might get the url which it displays in search results wrong? It currently appears for all pages as: <cite>www.domainname.com › Register › Login</cite> When the real url is nothing like this. It should be: www.domainname.com/product-type/product-name. This could obviously affect clickthroughs. Google has indexed around 3,000 urls on the site and they are all like this. There are links at the top of the page on the website itself which look like this: Register » Login » which presumably could be affecting it? Thanks in advance for any advice or help!

Redirect Search Results to Category Pages
I am planning redirect the search results to it's matching category page to avoid having two indexed pages of essentially the same content. Example http://www.example.com/search/?kw=sunglasses

Multiple 301 redirects for a HTTPS URL. Good or bad?
I'm working on an ecommerce website that has a few snags and issues with it's coding. They're using https, and when you access the website through domain.com, theres a 301 redirect to http://www.domain.com and then this, in turn, redirected to https://www.domain.com. Would this have a deterimental effect or is that considered the best way to do it. Have the website redirect to http and then all http access is redirected to the https URL? Thanks

Homepage shuffling in the SERP results continously - any thoughts?
We've had some shuffling for a keyword in the SERP results over last few days! Anyone else seeing their rankings bounce all over? It's only affecting one keyword that was previously a stable performer - this has occurred for the last few weeks (with no major changes to the page). Would be keen to hear your thoughts!

Why does my home page show up in search results instead of my target page for a specific keyword?
I am using Wordpress and am targeting a specific keyword..and am using Yoast SEO if that question comes up.. and I am at 100% as far as what they recommend for on page optimization. The target html page is a "POST" and not a "Page" using Wordpress definitions. Also, I am using this Pinterest style theme here http://pinclone.net/demo/ - which makes the post a sort of "pop-up" - but I started with a different theme and the results below were always the case..so I don't know if that is a factor or not. (I promise .. this is not a clever spammy attempt to promote their theme - in fact parts of it don't even work for me yet so I would not recommend it just yet...) I DO show up on the first page for my keyword.. however.. instead of Google showing the page www.mywebsite.com/this-is-my-targeted-keyword-page.htm Google shows www.mywebsite.com in the results instead. The problem being - if the traffic goes only to my home page.. they will be less likely to stay if they dont find what they want immediately and have to search for it.. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Google Said "Repeat the search with the omitted results included."
We have some pages targeting the different countries but with the Near to Similar content/products, just distinguished with the country name etc. one of the page was assigned to me for optimizing. two or three Similar pages are ranked with in top 50 for the main keyword. I updated some on page content to make it more distinguish from others. After some link building, I found that this page still not showing in Google result, even I found the following message on the google. "In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 698 already displayed.

If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included." I clicked to repeat omitted result and found that my targeted url on 450th place in google (before link building this was not) My questions are Is google consider this page low quality or duplicate content? Is there any role of internal linking to give importance a page on other (when they are near to similar)? Like these pages can hurt the whole site rankings? How to handle this issue?0
