How long should I keep the 301 redirect file
Unless there's a reason to take the 301s down, don't. If you don't want to have to wade through them all when you're editing your .htaccess file you could monitor your server logs which should show all requests & responses your server receives & sends. When no requests for a URL, (and therefor no 301 responses happen), come in for some long period of time, (a month? 6 months? a year?), then you may be able to safely remove the 301 directive from your .htacess, (or wherever you configure your 301s).

Feature Request: connecting to Adobe Analytics
Hello, I found this thread and was wondering if there has been any updates on Moz supporting Adobe Analytics. I have several clients that utilize Adobe Analytics, and there's a huge opportunity to leverage Moz to support their needs. Thanks,

Google not using my meta description nor my meta title
Sorry if I missed this, but what search led to this result? Keep in mind that different queries will return different titles and snippets in SERPs. Google is taking more liberties than ever. It does seem like they're appending the brand "- Kbc", which is an increasingly common practice. Usually, it's one of two things: (1) They don't feel that the title/description are a good match to the particular search you're looking at. You could try to get other key phrases in the title/description, but often that ends up being overkill. It depends on how critical these searches are. (2) They feel that the title/description are too long or too marketing-heavy. This can be tougher to pin down. I'll be honest - this is happening more frequently, and there's no way currently to stop Google from doing rewrites. You can try to tweak things to be more to their liking, but you can't shut off the rewrites. If these aren't critical queries, there comes a point where it's effort poorly spent, IMO.

About duplicate content
Hello, I'm not able to read the content, but just looking at it side-by-side, the content appears to be very similar. You may want to consider re-writing a bit to make the pages a little more specific to their topics. I understand that the topics are closely related, and we encounter issues like this on our site as well - there are only so many ways you can write about a rail pass! But, by changing the copy up a bit, you'll garner better SEO results. It has been my experience that search engines scan from top to bottom, so especially your intro paragraphs on each page should be different copy, just looking at these two pages, they seem VERY similar including the headline: Een vaste rentevoet, dus geen verrassingen is there an easy way to change this copy up a bit? You may want to consult with a copywriter who should be able to assist you with this. Good luck! Amiee

Why can I not crawl this site
Hi there! We cannot resolve this page nor can my browser: The server at new.kbc.be can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the network service that translates a website's name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Google Chrome from accessing the network. Hope this helps!

Grade my page does not work
Hello Bart, thanks for reaching out to us! It looks like this address returns a 302 when we try to get access to this particular page. This is why the tool isn't working with your site. I think this is caused by the way the page is redirected, possibly in a loop. If you are able to address this or need extra help figuring this issue out, feel free to email help@Moz.com so we can dig a bit further and find the exact cause
