Redirect question

[NappyValleyNet]

Hi Everyone

I've tried searching elsewhere in these forums for an answer to this but not having much luck - hope I'm not duplicating content!

I get this message in Moz:

"We have detected that the domain NappyValleyNet.com redirects to www.nappyvalleynet.com.

We do not recommend tracking a redirect URL. Would you like to track www.nappyvalleynet.com for this campaign instead?"

Is this a set-up issue on my side? I'm not sure what this means?

Thank you!

It looks like you're trying to track http://nappyvalleynet.com instead of http://www.nappyvalleynet.com/

You have a redirect from the http:// version to http://www version, so wherever you are entering nappyvalleynet.com enter http://www.nappyvalleynet.com instead.

Hi - it's nothing to worry about, as Thomas said.

All it means is that anyone going to nappyvalley.net is correctly redirected to the www. version. That's right, as you always want to pick one version of the url as the canonical version, and redirect the others to it.

And when you set up in Moz, you tried to track the non-www. version which is being redirected. Just select the www. version and it'll all work fine.

Thanks Dan, really appreciate the great answer (and Moz did too!)

Have great day!
