Moz tools are returning "url is inaccessible"
-
Hello everyone,
I have been trying to use the on page grader tool and I have also tried to do a site crawl test, and both tools have come back with a "Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible" error. This has not been a problem before. Any ideas why this is happening eg what is blocking it. The url is www.livinghouse.co.uk any help for a novice would be appreciated.
PS. I have had another tool also not giving any results, so I assume its something on the site which is blocking the tools. Could this also block Google?
Thanks Giles

Hi David,
My website, http://lifeforcehub.com/, is having the same issue where the url is inaccessible. Is there any update on your public IP as I will ask my ISP to unblock your public IP
Thanks

Hi Huburtus
Sorry to hear you are running into similar issues. Would you be able to contact your ISP and make sure they are not blocking our public IP 54.188.112.170?
Hope this helps

Hallo David,
I'am experiencing a similar problem with www.dinamo.de / http://www.dinamo.de
Pingdom shows insignificant errors:
http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/?domain=www.dinamo.de×tamp=1404969988&view=1
Can you please look into it on your side?
Thank you in advance

Awesome Giles!

Hello Dave,
All sorted, finally after much prompting the server people decided to have a look and the configuration set up had changed. Now working.
Thanks for your effort

Hi Giles
We're running into being blocked by a few DNS providers and our engineers are reaching out to try and find out why we are not able to get through. I hope to have an update very soon!
-
Hello David,
Any luck with your engineers.
Also the server people asked this question "I suggest that kindly contact your software application provider and ask them the exact requirement to run the software"
So far the server people are not being particularly helpful?
Thanks
Giles

Talk to you soon!

Hello Dave,
I have done another DNS check (link attached) and the DNS issue seems to be resolved but I still cannot use the on page grader tool, which still gives a url is not accessible message. http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/?domain=livinghouse.co.uk
Do you have any other ideas of what could be the issue.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Giles

Thanks Dave I will look in that direction and let you know giles

Hi Giles!
It appears your site is not reachable via DNS and you would need to contact your hosting provider to resolve. Using a DNS check tool via http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/ the test fails indicating there is no delegation found for the domain: http://www.screencast.com/t/q4r7jGTq
DNSstuff has more details through their test that states: Nameservers were found, but the domain entered is a non-delegating subdomain. This application checks conformance to standards for delegating domains/subdomains, so many of the following tests could fail (SOA for instance). If you have a lot of subdomains that share the same parent nameservers you may want to break these out into separate zones. Creating separate zones reduces the load on your parent nameservers. To create sepeparate zones you must assign this subdomain it's own nameservers responsible for this domain and remove these records from your parent zone. This separate zone must have a primary and secondary (at least) nameservers with different IP addresses and an SOA record must be created that refers queries to the newly created primary nameserver.
Hope this helps!

Unsolved Why is Moz reporting 308s as 302s?
Got a looooong list of redirect issues in my crawl for a new client, all reported as 302s but as far as I can see they are all 308s... which is perfectly fine, right, or have I missed a memo? They even confirm the 308 status in the moz detail.

URL Length Issue
MOZ is telling me the URLs are too long. I did a little research and I found out that the length of the URLs is not really a serious problem. In fact, others recommend ignoring the situation. Even on their blog I found this explanation: "Shorter URLs are generally preferable. You do not need to take this to the extreme, and if your URL is already less than 50-60 characters, do not worry about it at all. But if you have URLs pushing 100+ characters, there's probably an opportunity to rewrite them and gain value. This is not a direct problem with Google or Bing - the search engines can process long URLs without much trouble. The issue, instead, lies with usability and user experience. Shorter URLs are easier to parse, copy and paste, share on social media, and embed, and while these may all add up to a fractional improvement in sharing or amplification, every tweet, like, share, pin, email, and link matters (either directly or, often, indirectly)." And yet, I have these questions: In this case, why do I get this error telling me that the urls are too long, and what are the best practices to get this out? Thank You

Setting up MOZ to run on Staging
Hi Moz, We would like to setup Moz to run on our Staging Server. This would be extremely valuable as it alerts us to new SEO issues/risks in a controlled and secure environment that is not exposed to production. Our internal team has recommended potentially setting up a reverse proxy server that will validate either via Moz's/Rogerbot's http header or IP and allow Moz access to our Staging environment to crawl. Is this something that we can setup with Moz? Are there other ideas to enable Moz to crawl our Staging server?

Items listed based on size - Use "inches" or " " "
I sell Decorative nutcrackers of various sizes. At this time, I use the term "inches". I was looking at my competitor the other day, and when I did a search on his site, using the term inches did not provide me with a result. I was forced to use ex. "10" nutcracker" instead of "10 inch nutcracker". Is there a preferable usage for seo purposes. Thanks! my site: http://www.nutcrackerballetgifts.com/category/5/10-Inch-Nutcrackers.html his ite: http://www.kurtadler.com/Search?search=10"+nutcracker

Question for Moz developers - Highcharts?
So, I see that Moz is using Highcharts as it's charting display engine. What made you decide to use them instead of some of the other solutions out there, like FusionCharts or Google Charts, even creating your own home-made creation?
Moz Pro | | MrSchadow
Our company is starting over from scratch with reports/charts and are looking at other solutions than what we currently are using (fusioncharts/fusion widgets). And I wanted to get feedback on why you chose this route over any other. Thanks!!0 -

Keyword tool: SEOMOZ spacific month ? vs adword tool 12 month average but same data ???
Running a keyword analysis in SEOMOZ it shows my the folowing information "Local Search Volume (Dec)". I compared the data for the specific country , language and keyword with the adwords keyword tool and it exactly showed me the same numbers. The adwords keyword tool shows: "Local Monthly Searches: This column shows the approximate 12-month average number of search terms matching each keyword" http://support.google.com/adwords/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=25148 So if the numbers are the same in google keword tool and SEOMOZ why is SEOMOZ saying that for a specif month? If the data is the same one of both can not be right or probaly I didn't get the point. See screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/GyaaW7EkwV Thanks for help
