Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Wanted to jump back in on this topic as I've just confirmed my initial suspicion. I just added a new client to our Moz account and had the exact same issue, crawler unable to access the robots.txt file. It's a secure site and was configured in Moz without the HTTPS. When I go to the robots.txt file without https://www, it redirects to the same thing as yours where the / between the TLD and page path gets removed. Reconfigure your site and it should begin to work.

Excellent! Any other sites to share?

Hi Prawning_Singapore, Thanks for the answer. As I mentioned, I don't have any issues with too many links to homepage from website (domain). All I worry about is many links from sub domains to website (domain) homepage. Below are the content and sources which differ about too many internal links to homepage: Mistake #3: Building too many links to your homepage https://www.quicksprout.com/2013/01/17/5-seo-mistakes-that-even-experts-miss/ Build too many links to your homepage https://blog.monitorbacklinks.com/seo/top-11-seo-mistakes-to-avoid/ If you Okay, I will send our website to you through private message, so you can have a quick look ans suggest.

With OpenSiteExplorer, you can check all the internal links to a specific URL. Just put in the URL and under Link Source choose the option "Only internal". Good luck! wVI037C

Hi there, Keywords are just one of the factors - probably the most obvious one. However, without you noticing, they might have rebuilt the website's foundations which means the website is improved technically - stronger and faster. Obviously, we would need to analyse before & after, but it can be anything from responsive design, accelerated mobile pages, internal links and overall site structure (even thought it might seem the same). It can also be any of the following: gained a number of good backlinks (e.g. launched an intensive backlink strategy), increased their traffic, reduced their bounce rate, improved the quality of their reduced content, focused on meta descriptions, increased their social following/engagement/shares etc. Perhaps you have noticed they changed their URL structure? This could deliver good results too. So without any further info, it is very difficult to tell as it can be a few of the factors I mentioned above. Thanks. Kat

Of course google knows the difference......so maybe are wondering how google knows. Is very simple, google or the algorithm compares user intent vs keywords vs user behavior. Example I have website with a generic domain name such as dietpills.com, and by miracle Im in the first place so google start to compare 1000 users use the term "dietpills". So google put my site in firts place. But the Of 1000 just 20% of the user click on my site (Users read the description and the tittle and they ignore my website so or my website needs to optimize the descrition and tittle or my website is not relevant to the users) but is ok ...lets keep thinking ok 20% (200) of the users clicked on my website but 150 or 15% what ever you want ....leave the website before 30 seconds (Google units to measure the Bounce rate). So whats happen? 95% of the users on the experiment was not interested on the website. for Google that means your website does not deserve be in the firts place. Using the dietpills.com as example. The best option for me is create themes or topics base on the dietpills such as diets pills for woman diets pills for man dietpills review (reviews is theme by it self) --- review brand 01 --- review brand 02 --- review brand 03 --- review brand 04 so the term "dietpill" has a differents meaning for a 20 years old girl in Arkansas or 55 years old man from Los Angeles, so to get the firts place I has to be as useful for both, the girl and the older man but ....how I can do it So simple.... create relevant content for boths. If you want some advices you can email me to romandelcarmen@gmail.com

You appear to have the MX sub-domain also set up as an A record. If you have a mac / linux you can run the command: host aspmx3.googlemail.com.sullivansolarpower.com You get the result aspmx3.googlemail.com.sullivansolarpower.com has address 72.10.48.198 Where you should get the result "not found". I think you want to delete the A record (though check the documentation of your email provider first). You should only need them set up as MX records and shouldn't need the A record. You've done the right thing by setting up the redirect - which should mean that the pages drop out of the index and those links disappear. (Note that there is also an https error on the aspmx3 sub-domain - but given that you don't actually want it, I don't suppose that matters that much). Hope that helps.

Your title tag is held within the portion of your websites ... and depending on how you access your code you will find it in probably one of a few locations. If  you edit your code direct using your code editor of choice, you will probably find your tags which contain your <title>'s in a header.inc file, or the specific page html file you want to update. In a CMS however, such as wordpress, it will likely be editable directly by the post or page you are editing when found in your created listings.<br /><br />If you right click and view the source of your page in a browser you will find your <title> tags position.<br /><br /><html><br /><head><br /><!-- IN HERE IS YOUR META --><br /><strong><title>YOUR PAGE TITLE - and following conventions such as brand etc</title> As per the above, it depends what type of system you run.

Ah, good to know we've narrowed this down together! For another reporting method, I'd tweet GMB @__GoogleMyBiz__ and link to your GMB forum post. If you do succeed in getting Google to edit the spammed names, I would love to hear what you see happen in the local pack after that. It may/may not affect rankings, so your experience would be educational to our community if you can share it. It's been a pleasure chatting with you about this.

Hi Michael, So now google will get less interlinking pages is it? 2) Google Already crawled my category pages now when it comes now again on category pages google will not get the such products at category pages so it is fine? Thanks!
