301/302 header
-
Hi,
I changed from http to https with SSL certificate and have added the following code in my htaccess:RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.mysitesurl.com/$1 [R,L]RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]But Moz returns a:
Temporary Redirect
Using HTTP header refreshes, 302, 303, or 307 redirects will cause search engine crawlers to treat the redirect as temporary and not pass any link equity to other pages. We highly recommend that you replace temporary redirects with 301 redirectAnd additional header checkers return a 302 also when I check http://www.mysitesurl.com/:
HTTP/1.1 302 Found =>
Date => Tue, 05 May 2015 09:31:18 GMT
Server => Apache/2
Location => https://www.mysitesurl.com/
Content-Length => 214
Connection => close
Content-Type => text/html; charset=iso-8859-1Anybody an idea why there is no 301 result?
Thanks

Hi Matt,
Thanks for that, have changed the code as you advised to:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.mysitesurl.com/$1 [R**=301**,L]RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]and it seems to work!
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently =>
Date => Tue, 05 May 2015 12:07:49 GMT
Server => Apache/2
Location => https://www.mysitesurl.com/
Content-Length => 238
Connection => close
Content-Type => text/html; charset=iso-8859-1Thanks a bunch!!!

Ok thanks for the PM. I see the issue now - didn't need the URL after all, just a few more minutes to process.
The redirect is matching the first rule. You only have R,L so R by itself defaults to 302. It's picking up that before the other rule so it stops processing.
Set the top rule to R=301 and make sure you see a true 301 after that. If not, I'm wrong. haha But I think that's it.

Going to need the actual URL I think. If you can't post here, PM it - but I don't see the issue.

How can a page have high Google/ organic traffic but show no ranking keywords in Moz?
We have a page on our website with a higher than average number of pageviews, 85% of which came from Google organic search. When I research this page by entering the URL into the "exact page" keyword research tool, Moz says it has no ranking keywords. How can a page be earning organic traffic without ranking for any keywords?

Calling all 301 htaccess Guru's - www to non www - then to https + Redirect homepage to inner page
I have tried searching, multiple opinions and multiple things that supposedly work. What I have now, seems to work from an end user perspective, but Roger tells me otherwise: Redirect Chain issue....redirect, which redirects which redirects etc..... FIRST, we need to redirect all www to non www. SECOND, we need to redirect all to https. THIRD, we need to redirect the homepage to an inner page. (Got to love BOGUS DMCA complaints! :)?) So far we have: RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com.au$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.com.au$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "https://mydomain.com.au/inner-page-here" [R=301,L] Plus down the page there is the usual wordpress settings: <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]</ifmodule> So, why does it seem to work for the end user, but Roger has his knickers in a knot saying, redirect, to redirect to redirect etc? Namaste and many thank you's in advance 🙂0 -

Domain.com isn't recognized by on-page-grader, but domain.com/index.php is
I am running a website through On-page-grader, as www.domain.com and scores an "F" for a specific keyword. When it's ran as www.domain.com/index.php, it scores an "A" for that same keyword and has everything checked other than "keyword in the domain name". There are no other files such as index.htm, or index.html that would interfere and can't figure out why this page is not being recognized. I checked, the robots and .htaccess file, but do not see anything that would hinder. Could this be a server issue?
