"redirects" with no "redirect address"?
-
Episode 2 of "Damon the idiot noob" web series . . .
I have like . . ..90 plus temporary redirects in my moz "medium priority diagnostics".
But the majority of them have a url, but no redicret url.
How can it be a temporary redirect if there is no redirect address?
Some of the addresses simply don't make any sense. Like:
http://www.thirdcoastsigns.com/catalog/seo_sitemap/product
How on earth would a "seo_sitemap" be followed my a "/product"?
This is a Magento site, so I know some of these things get created automatically . .. but what on earth is going on here?
Help welcome, appreciated, and welcome.
Did I mention it is welcome and appreciated?

Well, I think Charles may have summed it up, that it is just some CMS wonkiness . . . though I was sorta hoping there was a more concrete answer/solution than that.

Hi Damon! Ever work this out?

First, I got confused, then confused, and confused again.
Did I mention i got confused?
This is a Magento site, so I know some of these things get created automatically . .. but what on earth is going on here?
Magento is a keyword there. Any CMS does some super crazy stuff. Some more crazy than others.
Or it can be temporary MOZ bug. I'd recommend check those urls manually with preserving log in Chrome or something. This way you'll be able to understand if it's actually happening or it's just crawlers fault. If you don't see anything abnormal happening while checking those urls manually, don't waste much time on it, especially those pages seem not to exist or not main pages of the website.
As MOZ says, it's medium priority, there are other things to worry about.Hope this helps.

Yahoo Store Beginner with "duplicate content" errors. Can I pay for support? $$$
Hi. I have a Yahoo store that seems to have many errors. We built the site for utility knowing NOTHING about SEO. We just started with MOZ and would love to PAY someone to help get us past the beginning stages. Is there someone familiar with the Yahoo! Store format that can charge us perhaps in hourly blocks to walk us through possible solutions to issues? One issue we are having... seems to be that our subsections which contain items that are the endpoints... I know of no way to label the sections anything but an "item". I'm wondering if this might be causing the "duplicate" error because a specific item is listed both in the section and on it's own page. please help! Thom 888-567-5194

Page Title "Untitled Document" with mozbar
Hi, I'm working on a big news website (in tourism) and, when checking my homepage with mozbar, I often get: "My Title • Untitled Document" - 69 characters With no apparent reason, If I refresh the page or simply visit it later, it could randomly switch to the "normal" title: "My Title" - 44 characters It looks like completely random to me, like something more is loaded in the first case. I've checked my source code of course, and <title>tag seems to be ok with no other <title> even when I get the "untitled document".</p> <p>I have no idea about that. I don't know if that can be a useful info, but I was trying to understand why the majority of my main keywords searches are only showing other pages (I can rarely find my homepage) even though my home looks correctly indexes and shows as first result for every site: research.<br /><br />Hope everything's is clear....any idea or suggestions?<br /><br />Thank you in advance.</p> <p> </p></title>

Pro newbie - What is a "campaign"?
I signed up three weeks ago and the first email to me begins with: The first step in PRO is to set up your campaign. Once we start tracking your site and social media accounts, you'll start receiving handy reports of your data. You can also surface site issues right in the app to help you prioritize which fixes you can make for immediate results. At this point I don't know what kind of "campaign" this is or what the "app" is. I have also lodged a ticket because something seems to be broken about my Pro status. I can obviously participate here, so I have a Pro status, but at OSE, it says "Social metrics only available to paid Moz subscribers. Learn more" and hit my Advanced Report limit for the day without seeing any such report.

Domain redirection www or without
when i start campain for the first time it says " "Roger has detected a problem: We have detected that the domain www.xxxxxxtour.com and the domain xxxxxxtour.****.com both respond to web requests and do not redirect. Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here." How to resolve this and how can i redirect xxxxxxtour..com to www.xxxxxxtour.com ? Thank you

Are there any good "geo location" seo tools.
Does anyone know of a good seo tool ( either in seomoz, or another website ) that will allow me to search google from different geo locations. For example, if I wanted to see how my company ranks for the term "computer repair" in redding california and sacramento california.

"Opt Out" of free month through MozPoints
This is probably going to sound a bit strange but I'd like it if I could "opt out" of the 200 MozPoints in a month giving a free months worth of membership. The reason being that I am enjoying using the forum but feel like every time I click on a thumbs up for my stuff to get MozPoints, it's like I'm trying to take advantage of the offer... when in actual fact I have no interest in that. Don't get me wrong, I want MozPoints because I want an SEOmoz t-shirt lol, and maybe one day I'll get to find out what the "something really special" is (I don't want to have one of whatever it is, I just want to know what it is.... the curiosity is killing me!) Anyway, what I'm saying is that I would feel more free to use the forums without having this kind of uncomfortable feeling that it may look like I'm just in it for the points to skimp on cash lol. I use the service, I love the service, and so I am happy to pay for the service... not only that but the forums are part of the benefit of the service, so I'd rather not worry that every comment I make may look like I'm doing it for reasons of greed, rather than reasons of interest. So, can we have a thing where we opt out?
