Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Guy's

A few weeks ago i posted a question: 
https://moz.com/community/q/index-problems

After some good advice, we changed a few things:

• www.domain.com <<< NL version
• www.domain.com/fr/ <<<< French version

(domain.com/nl/ 301 redirect to domain.com).

So the SERPS for keyword ‘shutters’ went from #32 to #8...... for 2 day's.... and gone.... and not comming back anymore....

Did we missed something?

Help is much appreciated, thanks

• In my Moz crawl report I get:

  Crawl Error
  Moz encountered an error on one or more pages on your site
  Error Code 804: HTTPS (SSL) Error Encountered

  The Moz Help Section only says:

  804 HTTPS (SSL) error

  804 errors result from a site with misconfigured SSL software. If Moz's crawlers cannot correctly interpret an SSL response for a home page, the crawl ends immediately.

  My site is publicly accessible on https -

  https://www.compleetverkleed.nl/

  And I'm not seeing any issues with my certificate.

  Can anyone help me out? What steps can I take to troubleshoot this error? If SSL is misconfigured, how do I configure it properly?

I already did, but they gave me this answer:

MOZ: (there was a question before this one)
I don't think so as the issue is not in loading it or receiving the certificate it is that we cannot translate the certificate or receive an error on getting it.Did the hosting provider state anything about SNI or serving multiple certificates from the same server?

That's a bit to technical for me.

Hi Catherine,

Yes, it will make your competitors cost per click higher. Mainly because in this case you will get the highest quality score. Bidding on your own brandname gives (most of the time) a 10 out of 10. Competitors will get a very low Quality score (not relevant) and have to bid more to rank higher.

Thanks Andy, Great!

Hi Guys,

We started a new website (far from complete) and i'm fixing some SEO problems. I have a SEO 404 monitor plugin and he gives me strange 404's that i can't find:

https://compleetverkleed.nl/feestkleding/www.compleetverkleed.nl/feestkleding
https://compleetverkleed.nl/rode-peper-pak/www.compleetverkleed.nl/feestkleding
https://compleetverkleed.nl/new-kids-kleding/www.compleetverkleed.nl/feestkleding
https://compleetverkleed.nl/fee-kostuum/www.compleetverkleed.nl/feestkleding

The 404 error code comes due to a double domain URL, and it happens only on the /feestkleding subdomain. When i check my original page, for example https://compleetverkleed.nl/rode-peper-pak/ there is only 1 internal link to /feestkleding but when i click on it, it works fine. Does anyone know how to fix this problem or where to look to see why this is happening?  (it happens on every page, not the 4 above > starting to come through in webmastertools also)

This 404's are completely new for me and i don't know where to find this

Thanks!

Hi Guys

I fixed the issues and the SSL is working fine, but still have an 804 error, so still can't track my campaign.

Hope you can help me further.

Will adding tooltip text to al my links improve my rankings? I read some article, but it's a hell of a job to add tooltip text to al my links. i was wondering if it's worth the time:

A tooltip text appears if the mouse hovers over the image or a link and is provided by using the TITLE attribute. A description of the image or the link then appears in the tooltip in a small yellow box (Internet Explorer). The TITLE text (tooltip text) gives a short description of a link or image. The difference between an ALT text and the TITLE text is that the ALT text is a short description that replaces the image if the image does not load.

The number of links (internal and external) and images must be equal to the number of tooltips for every page. The number of TITLE text can be higher because ALT text can also be used for other HTML elements. Add Title texts to links or images for those which do not have them yet.

Thanks!

Yes, that could me possible.

But it also could be possible that a product will be in stock later, and then it will redirect to the homepage of category. So then we have to find a way to drop the redirect automaticly

I was running a rapport with Sreaming Frog SEO Spider and i saw:

(Tab) Directives > NOindex :

https://compleetverkleed.nl/sitemap_index.xml/  is set on X-Robots-Tag 1 > noindex,follow

Does this mean my sitemap isn't indexed?

If anyone has some more tips for our website, feel free to give some suggestions (Website is far from complete)

And a 804 is a MOZ error I guess? It isn't something that would show up in a normal crawler?

Thanks! Good to know

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for the support. I'm only wondering how to fix this problem with a Wordpress website:

https://www.compleetverkleed.nl/sitemap_index.xml/ There should not be a trailing at the end of this URL. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
It was set in our footer and linked to the sitemap, and i removed the "/". But in Screaming frog i still see:
https://compleetverkleed.nl/sitemap_index.xml is set on X-Robots-Tag 1 > noindex,follow

I would also make sure that your non www. sitemap redirects to https://www.compleetverkleed.nl/sitemap_index.xml. Where can i fix this?

This should clear up your problem. Make sure this URL reflects in your Google and Bing Webmaster Tools. Like this? (Google Webmaster tools copy)

Hello,

We've launched a website a week ago. When run the website through Screaming Frog SEO Spider i get an error and no further pages are recognized.

http://compleetverkleed.nl/
text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
301
Moved Permanently

https://compleetverkleed.nl/
0
Connection Refused

(We've switched from http to https)

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks!

It depends. Analyse the links for yourself. Why do they get a high spam score and are they really spammy links?

Some links with a high spam score can still give you a great value. But in most cases I would choose to get rid of them.

How is your site ranking at the moment? Removing spammy links could have a positive effect but could also have a negative effect. Keep this in mind when your site currently scores high in the rankings.

Hi Guys,

I've got a linkpage at it has quite a high spamscore on opensiteexpolorer. The high spamscore is so high because of lots of outgoing links. The link site has do-follow links to relevant pages.

My question is: Will my spamscore descrease when i set some links on no follow?

Thanks!

I get strange :443 errors in my 404 monitor on Wordpress

https://www.compleetverkleed.nl:443/hoed-al-capone-panter-8713647758068-2/
https://www.compleetverkleed.nl:443/cart/www.compleetverkleed.nl/feestkleding
https://www.compleetverkleed.nl:443/maskers/

I have no idea where these come from :S

Thanks for the support!

Thanks fot the answers. Beacause it's a linkpage i get the spamscore from:

Thin Content
A subset of pages within this subdomain have little content.

Large Number of External Links
A subset of pages within this subdomain has a large number of external links.

Anchor Text Heavy Page
There's a high ratio of anchor text compared to content text.

External Links in Navigation
There's a large number of external links within sidebars and footers.

No Contact Info
None of the pages crawled contain an email address or links to a social profile.

So i was guessing the only way to get it a little bit lower is to add some no-follows.

@ Andy Drinkwater We will investigate the points you mentioned...

@ Arnout Hellemans We are going to check Webmaster console 

@ Dirk Ceuppens We noticed the drop because we make use of serpfox.com, a daily SERP checker. Thanks for the advice and we will investigate this also.

For now i'm going to check all the points and give an update asap.

Thanks!
