Intermittent DNS errors. IP team not able to diagnose
-
Intermittent DNS errors showing up in GSC for our fashion portal www.AJIO.com. Our IP team doesn't find any issues at our end. Everytime i write to them, they come back saying 'DNS is resolving fine in all servers'.
How do we resolve this? Pl help
-
There are a few issues with the DNS that I can see. First off, the email address in the SOA record is wrongly formatted, so won't receive mail. While that isn't the source of your issue, your IT people should change it so that they can receive messages about the DNS. Change this:
to this:
jliodns\admins.ril.com.
(Copy all of that exactly, including the dot at the end of the line.)
Secondly, there are different SOA serial numbers available. There are four nameservers for ajio.com, and they are ns1.ajio.com, ns2.ajio.com, ns3.ajio.com, and ns4.ajio.com. When I query ns1, ns2, or ns4, I get back a line like this:
ajio.com. 3600 IN SOA ns1.ajio.com. jiodns.admins@ril.com. 2016052708 10800 900 1209600 86400
But from ns3 I get this line:
ajio.com. 3600 IN SOA ns1.ajio.com. jiodns.admins@ril.com. 2016041301 10800 900 1209600 86400
The difference is the serial number (the bit after ril.com.): it's 2016052708 in the first case, and 2016041301 in the second. These numbers should always be the same. It looks from this line as though the ns3 nameserver should be fetching the newer serial number every 10800 seconds, yet it clearly isn't because it has a serial number from April 2016, while the other three nameservers have a serial number from May 2016. That's still not enough to explain your issue, but basically, your IT team need to investigate the performance of their nameservers, because this may be the symptom of a wider issue.
Good places for them to start are here and here. The first of those two links is the Pingdom test that Nicolas linked to, but with the important difference that it's checking ajio.com, rather than www.ajio.com.

Take the first tool available http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/?domain=www.AJIO.com and it seems your domain have errors.

Will google be able to crawl all of the pages given that the pages displayed or the info on a page varies according to the city of a user?
So the website I am working for asks for a location before displaying the product pages. There are two cities with multiple warehouses. Based on the users' location, the product pages available in the warehouse serving only in that area are shown. If the user skips location, default warehouse-related product pages are shown. The APIs are all location-based.

Google Detecting Real Page as Soft 404 Error
We've migrated my site from HTTP to HTTPS protocols in Sep 2017 but I noticed after migration soft 404 granularly increasing. Example of soft 404 page: https://bit.ly/2xBjy4J But these soft 404 error pages are real pages but Google still detects them as soft 404. When I checked the Google cache it shows me the cache but with HTTP page. We've tried all possible solutions but unable to figure out why Google is still indexing to HTTP pages and detecting HTTPS pages as soft 404 error. Can someone please suggest a solution or possible cause for this issue or anyone same issue like this in past.

Productontology URLs are 404 erroring, are there alternatives to denote new schema categories?
Our team QA specialist recently noticing that the class identifier URLs via productontology are 404ing out saying that the "There is no Wikipedia article for (particular property)". They are even 404ing for productontology URLs that are examples on the productontology.com website! Example: http://www.productontology.org/id/Apple The 404 page says that the wiki entry for "Apple" doesn't exist (lol) Does anybody know what is going on with this website? This service was extremely helpful for creating additionalType categories for schema categories that don't exist on schema.org. Are there any alternatives to productontology now that these class identifier URLs are 404ing? Thanks

How to 301 Redirect /page.php to /page, after a RewriteRule has already made /page.php accessible by /page (Getting errors)
A site has its URLs with php extensions, like this: example.com/page.php I used the following rewrite to remove the extension so that the page can now be accessed from example.com/page RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | rcseo
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L] It works great. I can access it via the example.com/page URL. However, the problem is the page can still be accessed from example.com/page.php. Because I have external links going to the page, I want to 301 redirect example.com/page.php to example.com/page. I've tried this a couple of ways but I get redirect loops or 500 internal server errors. Is there a way to have both? Remove the extension and 301 the .php to no extension? By the way, if it matters, page.php is an actual file in the root directory (not created through another rewrite or URI routing). I'm hoping I can do this, and not just throw a example.com/page canonical tag on the page. Thanks!0 -

Somthing weird in my Google Webmaster Tools Crawl Errors...
Hey, I recently (this past may) redesigned my e-commerce site from .asp to .php. I am trying to fix all the old pages with 301 redirects that didn't make it in the switch, but I keep getting weird pages coming up in GWT. I have about 400 pages under crawl errors that look like this "emailus.php?id=MD908070" I delete them and they come back. my site is http://www.moondoggieinc.com the id #'s are product #'s for products that are no longer on the site, but the site is .php now. They also do not show a sitemap they are linked in or any other page that they are linked from. Are these hurting me? and how do I get rid of them? Thanks! KristyO

Duplicate page content and Duplicate page title errors
Hi, I'm new to SeoMoz and to this forum. I've started a new campaign on my site and got back loads of error. Most of them are Duplicate page content and Duplicate page title errors. I know I have some duplicate titles but I don't have any duplicate content. I'm not a web developer and not so expert but I have the impression that the crawler is following all my internal links (Infact I have also plenty of warnings saying "Too many on-page links". Do you think this is the cause of my errors? Should I implement the nofollow on all internal links? I'm working with Joomla. Thanks a lot for your help Marco
