Seomoz or GWMT correct?
I'm getting a few 404 errors show up in seomz, but a few thousand in gwmt.
These are old site url's that may have been missed by redirects.
Which one should I believe/attack first?

RE: Help with 301 redirect code
Thanks Andy, i'll take a look.
I'm no htaccess guru, but was hoping that there was some sort of wildcard that could:
find "any product" (eg bags.html) in categories /c/123456/ and redirect to /default/bags/i just can't get my head around it. Is there a * or ? or combination? as it would need to pick up the changing 6 digits

RE: Help with 301 redirect code
thanks guys.
Andy...
yes, i need the new format to be /default/category/bags.html (but the bags.html will vary with whatever the original product is).
The category has no relation to the new category. It was generated by a old cms system and seems to fluctuate.
Yes, it is a Magento shopping cartTom,
yes, it is .htaccess>
I have added some other 301 redirects successfully, but can't work out how to change the 6 digit category, while still making sure the end product (eg bags.html) redirects to bags.html in the new structure.I hope that makes sense?
Thanks

Help with 301 redirect code
Hi,
I can't work out how to make this one work and would apreciate if someone could help.
i have a series of folders from a old site that are in the structure:
/c/123456/bags.html (the "123456" changes and is any series of 6 digit numbers), and the "bags.html" changes depending on the product.
I need that to be 301 redirected to the following format:
/default/bags/bags.html -

Htaccess code to 301 redirect a folder change
Hi,
I need some help to redirect all my site as there was a folder change.
eg, the old structure was www.mysite.com/stuff-1/bags.html and I need it to go to the same structure without the "-1" eg: /stuff/bags.html
The "bags.html" will be lots of different products, so this would be a wildcard?What would the htaccess code need to be?
Thanks

RE: Is anyone able to check this 301 redirect for errors please?
I've just deleted all his stuff from the htacess.
Should I now just do 301's for all the 404 errors that I can find?
I was hoping for a wild card (hence this guy doing it for me).
Anyone want to have a crack at doing it for me? Happy to pay a nominal fee -
RE: Is anyone able to check this 301 redirect for errors please?
I think I just found it.
He's used the wrong domain name.
Only realized when I cut & pasted. -
Is anyone able to check this 301 redirect for errors please?
Hi,
I had a developer write a 301 wildcard for redirecting old hosted site to a new domain. Old URLS looked like /b/2039566/1/akai.html
With varying letters & numbers.I have 26,000 crawl errors in GWT and I can only imagine it's because this is looping?
Can anyone advise if this would be causing grief?Thanks

RE: Duplicate Errors found in my search
the bit up to /account/login/ can be kept. The remainder after that is not relevant Or unique.
can you point me to what I need to search to work it out?

Duplicate Errors found in my search
I have run my 1st site check with SEOMOZ and have 4000+ errors.
The "duplicate Page Content" culprit appears to be a extended url that keeps showing as duplicating. This is only a customer log-in and can be redirected back to the main cust log in page, but is there a short way of doing it (rather than 4000x 301's)?
The format of the url is:
http://www.????.com.au/default/customer/account/login/referer/aSR0cDovL3d3dy1234YWNiYW
Thanks

Canonicial redirect non-www to WWW in Magento
I am wondering if I have covered the non-www to www redirect in my Magneto OK?
I have nominated the preferred URL in google webmasters.
I have selected the correct boxes in Magento admin.
when I type the "no www" version it redirects OK.
Should I still be adding something to .htaccess?
Thanks

RE: How long after google crawl do you need 301 redirects
Thanks for the quick response. Basically, we changed from a hosted solution to magento & needed to redirect all of our old url's to the magento URL structure. I guess what I need to know is, once google has crawled & found the 301, does it then ignore the 301 in future (as it already knows it has been moved)?

How long after google crawl do you need 301 redirects
We have just added 301's when we moved our site. Google has done a crawl & spat back a few errors. How long do I need to keep those 301's in place? I may need to change some. Thanks

RE: Advice for 4000+ duplicate errors on 1st check
Hey Charles,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I just had a quick dig through them and there seems to be thousands of the following:
http://www.????.com.au/default/customer/account/login/referer/aHR0cDovL3d3dy52YWNiYW
Not sure, but I guess this is due to us having 25,000 customer on the old system. We didn't import the customer details, so not sure how SEOMOZ scan is picking these up?
Do you think they are a issue?

Advice for 4000+ duplicate errors on 1st check
Hi, 1st time use of the SEOMOZ scan has thrown up a lot of duplicate errors. Seems to look like my site has a .com.au/ & .com.au/default for the same pages. We had the domain on a hosted cms solution & have now migrated to magento. We duplicated the pages, but had to redirect all of the old url's to he new magento structure. This was done via a developer adding a 301 wildcard code to the .htaccess. Would that many errors be normal for a 1st scan? Where should I look for someone to fix them? Thanks
