Intermittent DNS errors. IP team not able to diagnose
-
Intermittent DNS errors showing up in GSC for our fashion portal www.AJIO.com. Our IP team doesn't find any issues at our end. Everytime i write to them, they come back saying 'DNS is resolving fine in all servers'.
How do we resolve this? Pl help
-
There are a few issues with the DNS that I can see. First off, the email address in the SOA record is wrongly formatted, so won't receive mail. While that isn't the source of your issue, your IT people should change it so that they can receive messages about the DNS. Change this:
to this:
jliodns\admins.ril.com.
(Copy all of that exactly, including the dot at the end of the line.)
Secondly, there are different SOA serial numbers available. There are four nameservers for ajio.com, and they are ns1.ajio.com, ns2.ajio.com, ns3.ajio.com, and ns4.ajio.com. When I query ns1, ns2, or ns4, I get back a line like this:
ajio.com. 3600 IN SOA ns1.ajio.com. jiodns.admins@ril.com. 2016052708 10800 900 1209600 86400
But from ns3 I get this line:
ajio.com. 3600 IN SOA ns1.ajio.com. jiodns.admins@ril.com. 2016041301 10800 900 1209600 86400
The difference is the serial number (the bit after ril.com.): it's 2016052708 in the first case, and 2016041301 in the second. These numbers should always be the same. It looks from this line as though the ns3 nameserver should be fetching the newer serial number every 10800 seconds, yet it clearly isn't because it has a serial number from April 2016, while the other three nameservers have a serial number from May 2016. That's still not enough to explain your issue, but basically, your IT team need to investigate the performance of their nameservers, because this may be the symptom of a wider issue.
Good places for them to start are here and here. The first of those two links is the Pingdom test that Nicolas linked to, but with the important difference that it's checking ajio.com, rather than www.ajio.com.

Take the first tool available http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/?domain=www.AJIO.com and it seems your domain have errors.

Will google be able to crawl all of the pages given that the pages displayed or the info on a page varies according to the city of a user?
So the website I am working for asks for a location before displaying the product pages. There are two cities with multiple warehouses. Based on the users' location, the product pages available in the warehouse serving only in that area are shown. If the user skips location, default warehouse-related product pages are shown. The APIs are all location-based.

"No Information Available" Error for Homepage in Google
Hi Everyone, Been racking my brain around this one. Not sure why it is happening. Basically Google is showing the "www" version of the homepage, when 99% of the site is "non-www". It also says "No Information Available". I have tried submitting it through GSC, but it is telling me it is blocked through the Robots.txt file. I don't see anything in there that would block it. Any ideas? shorturl.at/bkpyG I would like to get it to change to the regular "non-www" and actually be able to show information.

Category 404 Error in Wordpress | Help!!!
Hello Gurus hope everyone is having a fantastic day. Right so I've been pulling my hair with this 404 error on links as such: htttp://manvanlondon.co.uk/category/clients/removals/man-and-van-wandsworth This link appears in the category page clients and the /removals/man-and-van-wandsworth part is the link that should take the user on the Man and Van Wandsworth page in the/ from the footer. However this link and all other links in the footer on these category pages/posts appear to be broken ONLY on this category pages, thus creating 404 errors. And those pages(i.e man and van Wandsworth) are not even categorized. The website is www.manvanlondon.co.uk . We tried various things on Wordpress and nothing is working including non-indexing. Has anyone met this problem before? Is there a way to fix it? Thank you for your time, and hope my explanations make sens. Monica

VisitSweden indexing error
Hi all Just got a new site up about weekend travel for VisitSweden, the official tourism office of Sweden. Everything went just fine except som issues with indexing. The site can be found here at weekend.visitsweden.com/no/ For some weird reason the "frontpage" of the site does not get indexed. What I have done myself to find the issue: Added sitemaps.xml Configured and added site to webmaster tools Checked 301s so they are not faulty By doing a simple site:weekend.visitsweden.com/no/ you can see that the frontpage is simple not in the index. Also by doing a cache:weekend.visitsweden.com/no/ I see that Google tries to index the page without the trailing /no/ for some reason. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://weekend.visitsweden.com/no/ Any smart ideas to get this fixed or where to start looking? All help greatly appreciated Kind regards Fredrik

I currently have a client that has multiple domains for multiple brands that share the same IP Address. Will link juice be passed along to the different sites when they link to one another or will it simply be considered internal linking?
I have 7 brands that are owned by the same company, each with their own domain. The brands work together to form products that are then sold to the consumer although there is not a e-commerce aspect to any of the sites. I am looking to create a modified link wheel between the sites, but didn't know if my efforts would pay off due to the same IP Address for all the sites. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
