Hi Everyone,
The solution is simple and I am writing it down for everyone who will have the same problem in the future.
1. since it is using curl the best solution is to run the command and see watch the results. it will give a good idea about the problem.
2. make sure that you have 301 message and not 30X temporary messages for those who do redirect upon location or language.
3. in my case the problem was the ssl certificate was missing the intermediate.crt. so that new browser didn't had no problem with handing the certificate, curl is an "old" browser and had problem with verify the certificate. better using tools to verify the ssl certificate was installed correctly. each issuer has it's own site to test the certificate installation.
good luck to all the guys that will run intto that problem in the future. I hope my respond will help you get that stage.

Check if you are tracking root domain or sub-domain.
If you are tracking the root domain and stating you want to track all traffic at any subdomain, you do not want the www in the url.
For example on our site we have dev sites that are subdomains. We do not want them tracked. so we have ours set as www. ourcompany .netIf you want to track anything on the domain, take off the www and I think it will work for you.
Best,

I'm sure that one of the MOZ guys will be along to answer this soon, but in the meantime, do you need to be entering a complete URL with http:// ? Do you have other live campaigns that are working OK?
Sorry I can't be of more help, as I don't sub to the full packages.

Domain added to the url
Hi, I am having a problem with my Wordpress site http://www.food-and-garden. It seems the domain www.food-and-garden.com is added to the url, for example http://www.food-and-garden.com/recipe-items/blini-lumpfish-roe/www.food-and-garden.com Right now I have 249 404 errors. That's a lot! I found a Q&A similar to this, and as far as I understand, it has to do with relative links. I quess somewhere on my site there is href="www.food-and-garden.com" instead of href="http://www.food-and-garden.com" My question is, how do I find the broken link? Thank you!

Hi, I'm looking to find out why a google+ account that was rarely used has 10,000 views. I want to discover what sites it is linked to. I entered the page url but no joy. can anyone help?
I would like to find out where all this traffic is coming from. It is most likely from an out of date sales site etc, but it's important to find out as it could be the result of hacking etc. It appears the page is linked to another site and I would like to find out which one(s) Entering the page url is not getting results, can anyone help?

How do I interpret Duplicate Content in a Crawl Report, when it only gives me a URL? How do I know what is duplicated on that page somewhere else?
I need help interpreting the Crawl Report for Duplicate Content. It gives me the URLs of pages that have duplicate content, but how do I know what content exactly is duplicated elsewhere? And how do I figure out where it is duplicated? Also, are there Moz Analytics articles or videos teaching you how to use each component of the analytics programs? Thanks!

Just ran my Site Crawl Report...which was awesome! But It says there are over 50 Duplicate Content Pages, and the list of links only shows the PAGE that is supposedly "duplicate content"...but where is the other URL that these pages are duplicates of? Would be nice to be able to double-check if it is in fact duplicate and decide which to edit. Pls help! Thanks Moz!

Twitter Data Not Appearing in Tool or Reports
I have added our Twitter account and our Facebook account to our campaign. The Facebook data appears in our reports. However, the Twitter data does not. I have check to confirm that our account is connected, and it appears that it is. It has been connected for about a week, and we're still not seeing any data. What could be causing this, and how can we fix it?

Page appearing multiple times in Warnings report
In reviewing my Moz warnings report, one page is appearing multiple times because the title is longer than recommended. Is this a bug in Moz? The page is appearing with a number of different URLs, despite there being a rel="canonical" tag. The page's canonical URL is: http://betablog.org/wishing-and-hoping-and-praying/ And in the warnings report I'm seeing variations like this: http://betablog.org/wishing-and-hoping-and-praying/?replytocom=26539 which are clearly links from the comments section.
