Cannot create campaign because Moz doesn't recognize my URL
-
I have a new url, and I'm trying to create a new campaign for it.
But in first step when i enter the domain, an error message pops up saying the url is invalid. could you help?

Hi Alice
You may need to check with your hosting provider to see if they might be blocking us for the springcoin domain.
Make sure the following IP range is not blocked: 208.184.81.0-24

Hi David,
I think that wildcard is correct, because we want to disallow all pdf files.
This is the same robots file as our other domain, avantcredit.com, and I was able to set up that campaign successfully on Moz.
Is there anything else that could be causing the issue?

Hi Alice
There is an issue with your robots.txt which has a wildcard directive without a / before it
Disallow: *.pdf$
Missing / at start of file or folder nameThis might be preventing us from accessing the site.

Hi Alice!
Generally the invalid URL will indicate an issue with either DNS or inability to obtain an HTTP response from the web server. Check you robots.txt file for any user-agent blocks and you can use various header response tools to see if you return any errors:
www.webconfs.com/http-header-check.php
If you have a 302 re-direct you will need to change it to be a 301. If you receive a 200 OK response, let us know what the URL is so we can run other tests.

Perhaps you could provide us with the url? It's difficult to help you without it

Duplicate Content Report: Duplicate URLs being crawled with "++" at the end
Hi, In our Moz report over the past few weeks I've noticed some duplicate URLs appearing like the following: Original (valid) URL: http://www.paperstone.co.uk/cat_553-616_Office-Pins-Clips-and-Bands.aspx?filter_colour=Green Duplicate URL: http://www.paperstone.co.uk/cat_553-616_Office-Pins-Clips-and-Bands.aspx?filter_colour=Green**++** These aren't appearing in Webmaster Tools, or in a Screaming Frog crawl of our site so I'm wondering if this is a bug with the Moz crawler? I realise that it could be resolved using a canonical reference, or performing a 301 from the duplicate to the canonical URL but I'd like to find out what's causing it and whether anyone else was experiencing the same problem. Thanks, George
