Moz was unable to crawl your site? Redirect Loop issue
-
Moz was unable to crawl your site on Jul 25, 2017. I am getting this message for my site: It says "unable to access your homepage due to a redirect loop.
Site is working fine and last crawled on 22nd July. I am not sure why this issue is coming.
When I checked the website in Chrome extension it saysThe server has previously indicated this domain should always be accessed via HTTPS (HSTS Protocol). Chrome has cached this internally, and did not connect to any server for this redirect. Chrome reports this redirect as a "307 Internal Redirect" however this probably would have been a "301 Permanent redirect" originally. You can verify this by clearing your browser cache and visiting the original URL again.
Not sure if this is actual issue, This is migrated on Https just 5 days ago so may be it will resolved automatically. Not sure, can anybody from Moz team help me with this?

HI,just checking if anyone figured out the issue with this?
-
Yes, this is actually very confusing.
I don't know on which metrics Moz is crawling the websites and providing the issues report. Few days back when I put the query I also got this issue on my website and now this issue is removed automatically.
Nothing is alarming in Google Webmasters too and when I checked manually everything seems fine. So, can't say much about this issue
So, if you will get some solution then just let me know also so that I can also work on this
Thanks anyways.

Hey Guys
I'm getting the same redirect loop error today for one of my client's sites. We have not changed anything on the site recently and it worked perfectly in Moz Pro Campaign for several weeks, so what's happened? The same thing happened to another client of mine a week ago. Their site crawled perfectly in Moz for weeks, but all of a sudden Moz could not crawl it because of a redirect loop issue.
The site is http://aprilrandlelaw.com/
FULL ERROR MESSAGE
We were unable to access your homepage due to a redirect loop, which prevented us from crawling the rest of your site. Your homepage is likely redirecting to itself. Because we can only crawl if we find unique pages, the redirect on your homepage is stopping us from crawling past that page. It is possible that other browsers and search engines are encountering this problem and aborting their sessions as well. We recommend eliminating any unnecessary, circular or indefinite redirects on your homepage. Also, make sure your site is not mandating cookies, which can cause circular redirects and make crawling more difficult. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster.

Hi Rahul. You can run your site through Goodle's Pagespeed Insights tool and also see the redirects. Also there are many other things reported by Pagespeed that could be fixed. I have found optimizing images and minification to be pretty simple and Pagespeed will provide the optimized files for download.
Best!

Thanks Chris for your reply.
No, not plugin.
we used 301 but redirect path in Chrome is showing 302 on www and 301 then on https://kuzyklaw.com
May be this is why we are getting this issue, I will check with my developers to fix this. Thanks anyways.

Hi. Hopefully MOZ team will respond but I noticed if I type "http://www.kuzyklaw.com" I get a 301 to "https://www.kuzyklaw.com" and then another 301 to "https://kuzyklaw.com/".
One to many redirects I think. Noticed you are WP. Did you use a plugin for the https change?

Obscene anchor text linking to non-existent pages on my site
My website seems to be rapidly accumulating links from what seem to be reputable websites and which are going to non-existent pages on my website. The anchor text of many of these links is obscene. Here is the URL of one of the pages that is linking to me. I contacted the originating site a couple of weeks ago and they are looking into it but I've not heard back. I'm guessing the originating sites have been hacked. Should I be concerned? Why are they linking to pages on my site that don't exist? http://www.radicalartistsagency.com/htmlarea/language/0content_abo_utus.html Looking at the page source of this page reveals the hidden links.

Partner Site In Bound Links
We have a staffing agency client that uses a 3rd party site (with different URL) to display open jobs for web viewers to see. However we are getting a bunch of backlinks from this site from the footer because it is set up as a White Label... Should I add a rel=nofollow to the links in the footer? Disavow the links from the site? Do nothing? I am not really sure. Thanks!

Pages linked with Spam been 301 redirected to 404\. Is it ok
Pl suggest, some pages having some spam links pointed to those pages are been redirected to 404 error page (through 301 redirect) - as removing them manually was not possible due to part of core component of cms and many other coding issue, the only way as advised by developer was making 301 redirect to 404 page. Does by redirecting these pages to 404 page using 301 redirect, will nullify all negative or spam links pointing to them and eventually will remove the resulting spam impact on the site too. Many Thanks

Has my site been penalized by google
Hi all I have noticed a sudden drop in rankings for most of my keywords on kerryblu ,co,uk and was thinking the site may have been manually penalized by google. I have not received any notification of this in webmaster tools but can't think of any other reason for the loss of rankings. I have searched the web for info on this but can't find a definite answer. Is there any way of knowing for sure. At the time of the crash the only real change I made was adding google adsense to my blog. Could this be responsible. Thanks for looking.

301 Redirect?
Is it black-hat SEO to send bluewidget.com, redwidget.com, and greewidget.com to widgetbrands.com (send all to the same page, or same domain home0? Since the domain name matching with keywords is important, this strategy makes sense. It is allowed? How many domains can I 301 redirect to widgetbrands.com if I want to target all the colors of widgets? I'd be willing to put up a one page keyword article of original content for the search engines to crawl before redirecting the 'bluewidget' page. Would this be necessary

Competitors have local "mirror" sites
I have noticed that some of my competitors have set up "mirror" homepages set up for different counties, towns, or suburbs. In one case the mirror homepages are virtually identical escept for the title and in the other case about half of the content id duplicate and the other half is different. both of these competors have excellent rankings and traffic. I am surprised about these results, does anyone care to comment about it and is this a grey hat technique that is likely to be penalized eventually. thx Diogenes
