Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi there,

It seems like you're encountering a 404 error reported by Moz, with the end of the domain being "/%25s" on your blog's homepage https://kaydee.net/blog/. This issue can be a bit puzzling, but I'm here to help shed some light on it.

Firstly, the "/%25s" you're seeing in the Moz report is likely a URL-encoded character. The "%25" represents the "%" character itself, so there might be a special character or encoding issue causing this discrepancy. I had a similiar issue with my site rossk.

Hi there,

You need to build more links in order to increase your DA.

Hi there,

You should get the W3 Total Cache plugin.

Hi there,

You will need to wait for some time until Moz discovers those backlinks.

Hi there,

You need to build more high-quality links across the whole domain instead of building the links to the specific page.

Hi there,

You can learn more about spam score here https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score

The spam score is a third-party metric, so I would not worry much about it. If you want to improve your spam score you then you should build more high-quality backlinks to your website.

Hi there,

Your PA is higher because most of your links are built to your home page instead of different pages across your website.

Hi there,

Google is experiencing some indexing issues at this time. They supposed to fix that bug by the end of the month.  Also, make sure you have submitted your sitemap via  GSC.

Ross

Hi there,

I would keep a "blog" in the URL since it can get really messy in Google Analytics.

Ross

Hi there,

Upon checking your site I see that your site has been indexed already by Google, which is more important.  Also, I see that your site has 4 backlinks which is quite low, that could be another reason why your site has not been crawled by Moz yet. You need to wait a little bit longer or build more links since every site is going through the crawling queue priority. For example, sites with more links will be crawled more frequently compared to the sites that have fewer links.

Ross

Hi there,

I would change the URL of the existing page and then redirect the old URL to the new URL via 301 redirect.

Ross

Hi there,

You just need to wait for a little bit longer, so Moz can crawl your site. Meanwhile, you check all your links in Google Search Console.

Ross

Hi there,

It is not possible to get a do follow link since all their external links are set with no follow attribute.

Ross

Hi there,

Recently, there was a bug with indexing. You can find more info about this here https://www.seroundtable.com/google-ranking-index-drop-30192.html .

Ross

Hi there,

I had a similar problem at one of the client's websites. You must remove the second title from the page because Google is confused about which title is correct. It is possible that the first titles are dynamically generated by the script and they are being overwritten by the second titles or vice versa. By the way, this "%20" means space in a programming language.

Hi there,

Upon chekcing your site, I see that you have VPS on Linode, your registar is Namecheap and your site is using Ngnix. Since you have built links   (https://playfireboywatergirl.com/) you need to set up a redirect on Nginx server. You can look up a documentation here  https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-temporary-and-permanent-redirects-with-nginx

Ross

Hi there,

You still will get value from your backlinks if you do a 301 redirect on the server level. When doing 301 redirect you are losing about 30% of SEO juice, so it is better to update your links to the new site. For the new links, you should link them to https://www.domain.com at all times. Yes, you are correct www ( CNAME) subdomain is considered as a new entity, that's why it is ok not to use www in your domain.

Ross

Hi there,

If the questions and answers are related to your company then you should be fine since you are trying to improve customer experience. Google should not consider that spammy.

Ross

Hi Lindsey,

They are not the same, but the contractors from Bing that were behind the quality check at that time could have marked that page as duplicative. I saw that happened on Google. Also, I think the issue could be that these two pages look alike in terms of design, and folks from Bing might think there is no reason to have these two pages in the SERPS because they look very similar. They cannot tell the exact issue because you will reverse engineer the problem.
