Critical factor Accessible to engine
-
Hello , i don't understand "Accesible to Engine" - critical factor - that indicate:
<dl>
<dt>Crawl status</dt>
<dd>Status Code: 200
meta-robots: None
meta-refresh: 0; URL=/shop/searchresult.seam
X-Robots: None</dd><dt>Explanation</dt>
<dd>Pages that can't be crawled or indexed have no opportunity to rank in the results. Before tweaking keyword targeting or leveraging other optimization techniques, it's essential to make sure this page is accessible.</dd>
<dt>Recommendation</dt>
<dd>Ensure the URL returns the HTTP code 200 and is not blocked with robots.txt, meta robots or x-robots protocol (and does not meta refresh to another URL)</dd>
<dt>My data</dt>
<dd>This is the content of my index and home page:</dd>
<dd>and this is my file robots content:</dd>

I think there's a very good chance that adding the Meta Robot instructions will resolve the problem. It's a pretty easy fix so I'd definitely try it out, and if it doesn't work, continue to troubleshoot.
Notice the last few lines of the report:
<dt>Recommendation</dt>
<dt>Ensure the URL returns the HTTP code 200 and is not blocked with robots.txt, meta robots or x-robots protocol (and does not meta refresh to another URL)</dt>
Though you're not technically "blocking" the meta robots, there's no instruction for them to index or follow the page. Also if the meta refresh is to another URL, that is an issue. well.

yes , my index.html page have 0 second refresh.
/shop/searchresult.seam have all the characteristics in the like Anthony said .
Do you think that add in the index.html page can resolve the problem?

Hi,
I think the reason you're getting this error is that your entire site is essentially "blocked" from agents.
It doesn't look like you've disallowed the path in the report via robots.txt, so I think it's an issue with the section of your document not containing instructions for robots to index and follow the site.
The perfect goes like this:
<title>Title of Page | Free iPad when you buy Cheap Viagra Online Pharmacy</title>
Apple Tablet save money on the best online pharmacy price of Viagra erectile dysfunction ED treatment pill capsule sample. " />
apple steve jobs ed erectile dysfunction best price on viagra pills pharmacy cheap discounts cialis pill Viagra Pill Viagre Viagrah capusle Canadian Viagra save money ipad ipad2 new ipad free best website for viagra" />
Kidding!
I think it's just the last line you'll need to add that let's robots know to index and follow the page:
You might possibly want to use the entire URL in the first line...
content="0; URL=http://yoursite.com//shop/searchresult.seam"
But I'm not positive about that. Like Red Clay said, the 0 second refresh could definitely be the problem too.
Hope this helps!
Anthony

Hi - perhaps it's an issue with your index page having a 0 second refresh?

Switching to a new website & Search Engine Rankings
Hello! We have been doing a lot of work on our SEO over the last few months and are thrilled to be in the top four four "edmonton website design" in our city. However, we are planning to launch a new website soon and are very concerned that this could negatively effect our rankings (as was the case with one of our competitors this week). What tips and techniques can you recommend in this case? On paper, the SEO on our new site is much better than the last - the url structure, contact info and content is much more targeted to our desired search terms, however, I don't want to take any chances. Is there any way to be certain (as certain as possible) that we will not get bumped to page 2? Thanks, Anton

Why am I getting an access error when creating my first campaign?
The exact error message is: The change you wanted was rejected. Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to. I checked the Word Count and I am definitely <300 keywords. I have also made sure that the Branded Keywords are entered 1 per entry form. My cookies are clear and there should be no issue with my browser.

'Appropriate Use of Rel Canonical', Critical Factor but appears correct on page
Hi, Trying to get the following page ranked unsuccessfully.... http://www.joules.com/en-GB/2/Collections-Quilted-Jackets/c01c02.r16.1 Instead a product page is being ranked, shown below.... http://www.joules.com/en-GB/Womens-Quilted-Jacket/Navy/M_HAMPTON/ProductDetail.raction When I run the on page report card it advises that the Rel Canonical tag needs to point to that page, but we have checked and it looks to be doing that already. Has anyone else had an issue like this? Thanks, Martin

Factoring in OBL to Open Site Explorer
Morning all - I've been using Open Site Explorer a fair bit since I signed up to SEOMoz a couple of months ago and found it to be a little different to other tools in the past, so would welcome some thoughts on what I should be looking for when I run reports. For example, I've always thought that Outbound links should be important when deciding whether to place a link on a a particular site, but in OSE I'm only given a Page Ranking and a Domain Ranking. Am I therefore to understand that these two factors outrank OBL and that the number of links on a page don't matter? Or have these been factored into the overall Page rank already? Thanks a lot for your help,
