How to Check 301 Done Properly on Homepage
-
Hi All, I posted previously about this, and had some good advice (thanks!)... but not quite sure my problem has been fixed.
About a month ago we changed our hosting over, and our dev didn't coordinate to have both versions of our homepage redirected to the same URL. Our crawl showed up with every single page as duplicate content, and our organic traffic has since dropped by over 60%.
They have told me that it is fixed as of last Monday, and a redundant error that was appearing in my Google Analytics now says that it has been fixed, but Moz crawled my site 2 days ago and still says everything is duplicate content, and my organic traffic is stressing me out!
Any advice on how I can check this is done for myself, rather than trusting these guys haven't messed it up any further? Or is it possible the Moz crawl is a bit slower?
Thanks in advance.

http://www.redirect-checker.org/ This is the website. Just enter your URL and it will show you the status code of it.
As simple as that!

Another good tool is Fiddler for sniffing all header responses.

Hello!
Two tools you might want to use to quickly check this include:
1 - 301 Redirect Checker Chrome Plugin
2- Screaming FrogI regularly use both of the above tools in addition to the moz crawl test and Google Webmaster Tools. Hope this helps!

Hi,
1 authoritative way is to use Google's own tool in Google Webmaster Tools, under "Crawl" you'll see "Fetch as Google". If the tool returns "redirected" as the page's status you may resubmit it to the index
See more at: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6066467?hl=en and https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6065812?hl=en
Edit: or you can use the Crawl Tool right here on Moz.com: https://moz.com/researchtools/crawl-test

There are multiple online tools which provides this service.Try the URL yourself.
Moz seems to be behind in updating its index or data. I have fixed similar issue and did 301 redirect a month ago buit moz still complains. So you are not alone.
One such a tool I found is https://monitorbacklinks.com/seo-tools/http-header-status-check

SEOMoz Ranking section only showing my Homepage
My competition has a few pages showing for each term, but only my homepage shows for those terms. My SEO shouldn't be so bad that no inner pages show. What's happening? Do I have something set up incorrectly?

What web page and domain analysis / error checking / testing tools do you use for competitor analysis? sites like webpagetest
Just wondering what everyone is using, I am looking to get as much insight and detail as I can on websites that are not currently being monitored by me... i.e. potential clients. I use tools like pagespeed, webpagetest, loadimpact and open site explorer, google adwords, ispionage, alexa, semrush and well, looking for more. I really just want to rip a website to the tiniest pieces possible in an organized and coherent manner... is there anything out there? I have tried several other's which i no longer use (compete, 4q, woopra, nuestar, to name a few), I am not sure if I know exactly what i want, i just want more.... damn the human condition. lol

Why are we not ranking? We have done all we can think of. Can you help?
We have an old domain that we have had for years now. And recently. December, we completely redesigned the site, I mean a complete overhaul, design, architecture, asp to php for example. Resubmitted to google via webmaster with a new site map etc. Our website for reference is www.completeoffice.co.uk. We are trying to rank in UK google, www.google.co.uk, for the term office refurbishment kent (we are on page 2) and office refurbishment (we are on page 17). This is confusing me, because thats 7 pages lower than we were originally, before the site design, its better seo wise, duplicate content is none, title tage meta tags all correct, domain authority has doubled from 12 to 24 in a few months all in an effort to rank better. our homepage and office refurb pages both got an A on the on page SEOmoz tool test. So we dont understand why we are not ranking highly. It seems sites, much uglier and less seo friendly than our with same or lower domain authority are ranking at least 10 pages higher than us. Why is this? Can anyone help or give us a few suggestions. All help greatly appreciated. SEOmozzers.

Experencing page authority issues after a 301 redirect
We just completed a build of a new site and used 301 redirects to retain our page authority. In the first week all the interior pages reported a page authority of 1 after 2 or so weeks the page authority began to look more accurate but they were still not as high as the original pages. The strange thing is that when you click on the link to a page the page authority populates correctly but when the page finally finished loading the PA goes back down. Has anyone ever experienced this and if so how did you fix it? Thanks!
