    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!

                        Moz-Specific 404 Errors Jumped with URLs that don't exist

                        Hello, I'm going to try and be as specific as possible concerning this weird issue, but I'd rather not say specific info about the site unless you think it's pertinent. So to summarize, we have a website that's owned by a company that is a division of another company. For reference, we'll say that: OURSITE.com is owned by COMPANY1 which is owned by AGENCY1 This morning, we got about 7,000 new errors in MOZ only (these errors are not in Search Console) for URLs with the company name or the agency name at the end of the url. So, let's say one post is: OURSITE.com/the-article/ This morning we have an error in MOZ for URLs OURSITE.com/the-article/COMPANY1 OURSITE.com/the-article/AGENCY1 x 7000+ articles we have created. Every single post ever created is now an error in MOZ because of these two URL additions that seem to come out of nowhere. These URLs are not in our Sitemaps, they are not in Google... They simply don't exist and yet MOZ created an an error with them. Unless they exist and I don't see them. Obviously there's a link to each company and agency site on the site in the about us section, but that's it.

                        Pages with URL Too Long

                        Hello Mozzers! MOZ keeps kindly telling me the URLs are too long. However, this is largely due to the structure of E-commerce site, which has to include 'brand' 'range' and 'products' keyword. For example -
                        https://www.choicefurnituresuperstore.co.uk/Devonshire-Rustic-Oak-Bedside-Cabinet-1-Drawer-p40668.html MOZ recommends no more than 75 characters. This means we have 25-30 characters for both the brand name and product name. Questions:
                        If it is an issue, how to fix it on my site?
                        If it's not an issue, how can we turn off this alert from MOZ?
                        Anyone know how big an issue URLs are as a ranking factor? I thought pretty low.

                        I'm analyzing a site and the page authority is the exact same for every page in the site. How can this be since the page authority is supposed to be unique to each page?

                        Fetch googlebot for sites you don't own?

                        I've used the "fetch as googlebot" tool in Google webmaster tools to submit links from my site, but I was wondering if there was any type of tool or submission process like this for submitting links from other sites that you do not own? The reason I ask is, I worked for several months to get a website to accept my link as part of their dealer locator tool. The link to my site was published a few months ago, however I don't think google has found it and the reason could be because you have to type in your zip code to get the link to appear. This is the website that I am referencing: http://www.ranchhand.com/dealers.php?zip=78070&radius=20 (my website is www.rangeroffroad.com) Is there any way for Google to index the link? Any ideas?
