Really odd 404 URL's
-
Hi
I'm getting some really odd 202 errors, I can't think that someone would link to me like this " http://sussexchef.com/contact-us/http.sussexchef.com/contact-us/ "
There are 95 of them to deal with, I've checked my site and I can click though all the links on my site with out coming across 1 404.
Any ideas?
All the best
Ben

is there a header.php? I don't know, maybe better to let the pros handle it lol
-
Hi yes it is wordpress.
Do you mean Wp-admin>css>? there are lots of files in there! all .css
-
Is this WordPress or some other platform? Do you have access to your CSS and HTML files? The template of the site? The ahref is just not done correctly for the contact us page.
-
I would start by looking in header.php, but they will know.
-
I've opened a ticket with them, fingers crossed, any idea which file?
-
I wouldn't do that. If this is Wordpress, you could probably rummage around in the editor and fix the problem (if you are very comfortable with that sort of thing) but the best thing would be to do as you mentioned, contact the theme support and tell them the problem. I am sure it is an easy fix.
-
Thanks for the compliment!
So I just 301 all 101 links?
sounds fun huh!
-
I haven't looked at everything, but I suspect that the only thing you need to fix is that link, the email link in the header. For some reason the URL there is being treated as being relative to the page that it is on. Talk to whomever set it up and they can probably fix it fairly quickly. And I'd probably make that a mailto: link anyway, but that's a different issue... [Looking at your site is making me very hungry, and I've just had breakfast!]
-
Wow
Ok so the header is coursing the bad links, how do I go about fixing that? do I contact the support that make the theme?
-
The http comes in twice, because it seems that an absolute path is being input where a relative path is expected.
In other words, the html of your link to E-mail : Info@SussexChef.com says: <a href="http.sussexchef.com/contact-us/"> this is on the page (I just picked one as an example): http://sussexchef.com/menus/christmas-buffet-delivery. The link becomes http://sussexchef.com/menus/http.sussexchef.com/contact-us/ because apparently in that header a path relative to http://sussexchef.com/menus/ was expected.

Hi I see it in screaming frog too, should I just redirect the urls rather than trying to find them and correct them?
-
Actually, I looked with Screaming Frog, and I can see where the error is. (One part, anyway.) Look in your header. The linking for the phone number and email there is odd.
-
Thanks
Yes they are all coming from my site. However I look at the referring url and view source But I cant find any url's with Http:// in them twice, I looked in the htaccess file on the server and they are not their either.
Really od, where do you think they are coming from?

Judging by the screenshot, these are 4xx errors from your Moz crawl, yes? If you look on that spreadsheet in column AM, "Referrer" it will show you the referrer of those URLs. Look at those pages to see where the errors came from.
My guess is that these are being generated by your own website. This type of thing can happen if there is some confusion with absolute and relative URLs and the wrong form is being input somewhere.
-
Hi I see them in the latest moz crawl and they are 404's yes
I just migrated my site so I was expecting 404's but not with the http: in them twice!
Thanks for your quick responce
-
Because 202 is nor an error, it's an 'accepted' code. Also, where are you seeing these?
-
Hi Ben are they 202 or 404?

How to Fix Repeating 404 Error on Blog
I've been getting this same 404 Error for a ton of pages on my blog (blog.twowayradiosfor.com) out of nowhere and I can't figure out how to fix it. I have about 500 of them that are experiencing the same issue (as shown in the image I've attached/linked to). It has the correct link, then the part that gets flagged as 404 adds a /TwoWayRadiosFor.com at the end, which is apparently the issue. Is there a reason these have just now appeared even though the blog posts are from years ago? Is there an easy way to fix it? Thanks, Sawyer dF6mUJQ

URL column of Link Explorer reports do not have the protocol (http or https)
I exported from Link Explorer. In the URL column, there is no protocol for each URL. Isn't the protocol part of what makes a url? I'm crawling each with http:// and https:// but it feels like this info could just be in the report. Am I missing a step?

WP Events Calendar Creates URLs Too Long in Site Crawler
My travel/tourism site is on WP and using an Events plugin that ads a calendar of events to many pages. The MOZ crawler is indexing almost 46K links with a URL too long, but the site only has about 3.8K pages indexed in Google. I can tell MOZ is indexing the same pages over and over again but just adding a random calendar month and year. Here are some examples. https://www.visitcurrituck.com/four-day-stay/?full=1&long_events=1&country[0]=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=10&yr=2003 https://www.visitcurrituck.com/four-day-stay/?full=1&long_events=1&country%5B0%5D=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=10&yr=2034 https://www.visitcurrituck.com/beach-houses-family-time/?full=1&long_events=1&country%5B0%5D=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=1&yr=1873 Any advice on how to prevent MOZ from indexing this way? I don't believe that Google is seeing this also, but maybe they are. I just know my site has over 63K issues and I'm sure at least 75% or more is because of the way they are picking up on the events calendar. Thanks!

Can't see the link I earned from Moz in OSE
Hi Mozzers, A month ago I got the nofollow tag removed from the first custom link on my Moz profile but I can't see this in our links on OSE? SEO Spyglass shows it just fine. Is this related to the delays in the back end of Moz or have I set up my profile wrong? Cheers! Jamie

What's the Story on Mozscape Updates?
Hey gang, As you may be aware, we were considerably late with our last index release. You have my sincere apologies for that and the apologies of the entire team. In the interest of transparency, I want to try to explain what's been going on. Since stepping down as CEO, I've been asked to take on a few roles in the company. One of those is product architect (basically the product owner) of our Big Data team, who produces the Mozscape link index. For several years, that team has been almost exclusively focused on getting us closer to a near real-time indexing system that does not have scalability issues. Mozscape is currently smaller than our major competitors, and we're also often slower. Our metrics (PA, DA, MozRank, MozTrust, Spam Score, Social Data, etc) have been the unique value we provide, but it's not enough. We need to be competitive on size and freshness. Building a raw link index (without processed metrics like PA/DA et al) is hard, but it's possible. Building a link index with those metrics is really tricky, and requires computer science knowledge and skills far beyond the scope of my understanding. That's what our team's been working on, and they've made some progress, but it's been slow, hampered by unknown unknowns, and materially hurt by a lack of experienced talent we can hire to help (we've had open job posts for years now). In the meantime, our historic Mozscape index structure keeps encountering challenges - this latest round is still somewhat unexplained (we believe there's hardware issues compounded by how the system is architected to handle large domains, but there may be other issues). The team's struggled to split time between keeping the old Mozscape running and hunkering down to finish the new system. I'm trying to help them balance things as best I can, and we're going to be putting effort toward making sure we get index releases out on time. However, to do that, we'll need to scale down size, and then rebuild back up. We think we can do this while also improving the prioritization of which links we crawl (e.g. deeper on important domains that link out, less so on deep pages that don't link anywhere) so the index overall improves. However, I don't want to minimize the risks - we may have some slow updates, some smaller indices, and some less-than-ideal data in the next one or two indices while we work to remedy this issue. I HOPE we don't, and that things actually get better immediately, but we can't promise that until the work gets finished. TL;DR - Mozscape V2 is in development and will let us as big and faster as any link index. In the meantime, current Mozscape's having issues & we're making smaller indices in an attempt to diagnose and repair. As always, thanks for your understanding, continued support, and if you have any questions, feel free to leave them below. I realize that this level of service/product quality is NOT OK, and I'm doing everything in my power to fix it.

May I know multiple campaigns set up, with same site url is allowable in Moz campaign or not?
Hi Guys, I have a question regarding moz campaign. I am a Moz Pro member, have taken Standard Plan. (Time being, am not in a position to upgrade to a higher plan) I have utilized only one campaign slot among total 5 slots. I have added xyz.com website in one campaign, there I have added 350 keywords which is the maximum count we can add in a a single campaign. Still, I have plenty of keywords to track for same website xyz.com. I am not planning to use the remaining 4 campaign slots for time being for any other websites. May I know, if I can add same xyz.com website in remaining campaign slots for tracking the remaining keywords for my website?
