Great, will take a look. Maybe run a trial to see if it does exactly what I need

Thanks for the info!

Good idea!

Although some of our clients that we do SEO for aren't hosting their websites on our server and we don't have access to their server logs etc.

Was hoping for an automated dashboard like MOZ/Screaming Frog/ or A hrefs as mentioned above. Due to the amount of clients we have, opening up and running through all there Log files could be time consuming.

Cheers for the info though, may come in use in the future, or to someone else reading this

Hi All,

We have recently discovered a site was linking to our site but it was linking to an incorrect url, resulting in a 404 error. We had only found this by pure chance and wondered if there was a tool out there that will tell us when a site is linking to an incorrect url on our site?

Thanks

Hi All,

I have the following code in one of our Htaccess files and I'm not entirely sure what its doing. Could anyone shed some light and maybe explain the process its going through? I know its something to do with redirecting the urls dependant on the browser language.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(En|Es)$ [NC]

RewriteRule ^(En|Es)/(.*)$ $2?lang=$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [L,R=301]

Thanks

As long as they still have ALT tags and such I don't think it would make any difference.

The only thing to consider would be the loading speed. As if it has to go off to another server/site to retrieve the image it may take longer to load and affect your page load speed (slow speed is bad for SEO).

Shouldn't have thought so. I have implemented it on a few of my clients sites which aren't HTTPS and they are being indexed fine.

Most of the sites that use AMP pages are things like news article sites etc. which don't really need to be HTTPS as they are not saving any of the customers secure information.

Yes, sorry

I used the form on their support site for the webmaster tools : https://www.bing.com/webmaster/support

Although that doesn't seem to be working at this moment so the email address that it was sent to is :

ucmbwts@microsoft.com

Hope this helps!

Just encase anyone is still having issues with this, or happens to come across this post in the future...

We emailed Bing support who came back and said that they had found their bots were blocked from indexing our site, there was no reason for this but just an error in their system (apparently this is quite common).

They responded pretty quickly and removed the block, a couple of days later we were being indexed and seeing traffic come from Bing!

Looks like they have fully rolled out the update now!

I am still able to access these settings under the 'Search Tools' tab

It might be that they are testing users actions by removing it for a few people, Google are always doing this.

Worth keeping an eye on it if you still can't find it though, might be an indication of things to come.

Cheers

Thanks for clearing this up.

It sounds like noindexing might actually make the most sense then.

Thanks everyone!

Yes, surely noindexing them would mean that our content in the blog posts on those pages wasnt being read by the search engine? Not ideal by any means!

I will look into the rel next/previous option.

Thank you for your input.

Hi All,

I have a couple of crawl errors coming up in MOZ that I am trying to fix.

They are duplicate page title issues with my blog area.

For example we have a URL of www.ourwebsite.com/blog/page/1 and as we have quite a few blog posts they get put onto another page, example www.ourwebsite.com/blog/page/2 both of these urls have the same heading, title, meta description etc.

I was just wondering if this was an actual SEO problem or not and if there is a way to fix it.

I am using Wordpress for reference but I can't see anywhere to access the settings of these pages.

Thanks

It can sometimes take a while and they may have to keep moving it back due to the crawl index getting larger or encounting problems that they had not expected.

It should have been refreshed with the latest update yesterday though

Could be that your domain authority has just stayed the same? Better than going down!

Although sometimes it can take the system a few days to update the DA within your MOZ dashboard etc.

Great, as we thought!

Thanks for the explanation, makes even more sense now!

As an agency we get quite a few of our clients come to us saying "Ooo, this company just contacted me saying they've run an SEO report on my site and we need to improve on these following things"

We had one come through the other day that had reported on something we had not seen in any others before.

They called them self-referencing links and marked it as a point of action should be taken. They had stated that 100% of the pages on our clients website had self-referencing links.

The definition of self-referencing is when there is a link on a page that is linking to the page you are currently on. So for example you're on the home page and there is a link in the nav bar at the top that says "Home" with a link to the home page, the page you are already currently on.

Is it bad practice? And if so can we do anything about it as it would seem strange from a UI point of view not to have a consistent navigation. I have not heard anything about this before but I wanted to get confirmation before going back to our client and explaining.

Thanks Mozzers!

I read an article about this a while back.

I think the conclusion was that it depends on what you are searching for as Google may change the title to fit the users search term better.

If you do a site:yoursite.co.uk search on Google it will bring up the indexed pages and should show the correct title.

Are you having the same issue in other search engines? Or just Google?
