My page has a 302 redirect and I don't know how to get rid of it!
-
I use Internet Officer tool to see the 302 redirect but I check the redirects in the CPanel and there are none. In the .htaccess there are none either. I don't know where else to look
The url is http://servicioshosting.com
Can you guys help me? I can't set up a campaign because Google can't crawl the website. I can't setup the Facebook OpenGraph because of the redirect.
-
I had this problem exactly and it turns out it was an index file on the server for the old page.
It was the only temporary redirect on the site so it was driving me mad and I wanted rid of it! FTP onto the server and check the folder for the old page which will likely contain an index file. the 302 was in there for us.
This is an old question but posting this for people in future.

If you're sure that the files on mamp and what's on the server are the same, then perhaps your hosting company is doing something or there's something in the config of the web server.
Sorry Vanessa, that's as much as I can help with - guess you need to find someone who knows whmcs
Good luck, would be good to know how it works out and what the solution is.

It didn't work
Something strange: I have the site running locally in my computer with MAMP. When I check the HTTP response in my local website it doesn't have the redirect, it has an OK 200 code.Could this mean it's a server issue? And if so, where do I check?
-
Sorry, on the edge of my knowledge, perhaps try removing those lines and seeing the effect? (I'd try removing them one at a time starting with the second one).

Yes, I checked and whenever there is a cookie set the 302 redirect disappears. If I delete the cookies it comes back. The system I use for the website template is the WHMCS, there is a file for setting the cookie for affiliates links (aff.php), and at the end there is this:
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: ".$CONFIG["Domain"]);
-
I don't think that's it - that's a 301 redirect and the issue you reported is a 302.
If you see the same issue I do with cookies affecting the result, then I'd suggest that is a clue - as far as I know htaccess redirects don't make use of cookies.

Ok, I'm looking. I also check the .htaccess again. Could this be the redirect:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^servicioshosting.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.servicioshosting.com$
RewriteRule ^whmcs/?$ "http://www.servicioshosting.com/clientarea.php" [R=301,L]
I keep erasing the first two lines and they keep coming back when I check back the .htaccess,
-
IT could be an on-page redirect . Open up your index file equivalent and look for something like
Header( "Location:
http://servicioshosting.com/" );

I get this using httpfox.
302 Redirect to: / http://servicioshosting.com/
I also see the redirect on https://www.servicioshosting.com/index.php when I first switched to English language from the home page. Then when reloading https://www.servicioshosting.com/index.php there was no 302.
I also noticed that when I deleted servicioshosting.com cookies and reloaded https://www.servicioshosting.com/index.php the 302 was back.
So I suspect it is something to do with the way the CMS is using cookies, since crawlers don't set cookies they get the 302.
I guess you'll need to dig into the CMS/talk to a developer. Good luck!

Pages with Temporary Redirects on pages that don't exist!
Hi There Another obvious question to some I hope. I ran my first report using the Moz crawler and I have a bunch of pages with temporary redirects as a medium level issue showing up. Trouble is the pages don't exist so they are being redirected to my custom 404 page. So for example I have a URL in the report being called up from lord only knows where!: www.domain.com/pdf/home.aspx This doesn't exist, I have only 1 home.aspx page and it's in the root directory! but it is giving a temp redirect to my 404 page as I would expect but that then leads to a MOZ error as outlined. So basically you could randomize any url up and it would give this error so I am trying to work out how I deal with it before Google starts to notice or before a competitor starts to throw all kinds at my site generating these errors. Any steering on this would be much appreciated!

Home Page Location Redirect
We have recently upgraded our Wordpress site to detect your local city and redirect to the proper location. Previously we had independent sites - for example, http://atlanta.styleblueprint.com is now http://styleblueprint.com/atlanta We've setup 301 redirects on all of the old site home pages. Now we have two issues: Moz will no longer crawl our domain. For two weeks now our campaign shows only four pages crawled None of our home pages show up in Google any longer for organic searches. We previously always ranked #1 for "styleblueprint" or "style blueprint" Does our new auto redirect mess things up? Or is this just a function of time until Google "learns" how to index our new site? All thoughts appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jay

How I plan to go about getting business - what do you think?
I prepared a real professional looking website analysis packet. The emphasis is on it being VERY professional and classy, nothing cheesy about it. (If you want a copy send me a p.m. and I will email you one). It will take me about 8 minutes to look at their site and run it through a couple tools and and have a quick list of things that are missing. Another 10 minutes for my office manager to edit the template and print a good looking copy. My plan is to take out and deliver about 10 of these a day and call and follow up on them over the phone. My hope is that when they see the quality and professionalism of the report the chances are low it gets thrown in the trash and when I call I have a REASON to call and not some random idiot cold calling. **What do you think? Any suggestions? ** I have a lot of sales background and don't mind talking to people and I know the key will be in FOLLOWING UP which is what MOST people are NOT willing or able to bring themselves to do. I realize that giving away a 'free' report may devalue what I have to offer in some peoples minds...... thought about that. I am just getting started and only have a few clients but I HAVE produced great things for those few but I need to get the ball rolling a little quicker. Thanks for weighing in with your two cents! 🙂 Have an AWESOME week! Matthew

On Page Analysis and Grading
I am new here and happy to be! My site is an ecommerce site with hundreds of products. I have set up campaigns to track specific products. For the on page analysis where SEOMOZ gives you a grade I have 2 urls showing. But 1 of the urls is getting an A, and 1 is getting a F. But they are the same url and obviously go to the same page. Any help would be appreciated!
