Way too many 301 redirects
-
Hi Guys
Posting here again in regard to 301 redirects, SEOMOZ has just finished my second crawl, and its showing me nearly 4k 301 redirects, i am only tracking my new site which by the way changed domain name , however all im doing is tracking the new domain and there are no 301 implemented on that side (Except Canonical), so was wondering how SEOMoz is finding 4k of redirects.
do you think it could be chaining somewhere ? as all the tests look good or could there be a problem with the reporting

HI Doug
Posted twice on this subject and the other 2 are here http://www.seomoz.org/q/301-redirect-how-long-until-the-juice-passes-through-to-new-site
I have checked server logs and response headers and everything looks absolutely correct, not used screaming frog but have used Xeno
I have been complaining for now 10 weeks that i have no traffic since i did the 301, and as i said im only reporting on the new site now which n theory should be 301 clean, except the canonical element part
I am now convinced there is a issue as otherwise the crawl from SEOmoz would not pick up those redirects,

It's hard to say without knowing the detail. Which site/pages?
You say that you've moved the site to a new domain name - is it possible that you've got some links in there somewhere that are still pointing to the old domain and being redirected back?
Have you tried spidering your own site with something like Screaming Frog or taking a look at your server logs for the redirects or referrals from your old domain?
Guessing a bit here. Can you give any more details?

Is there a way for me to find out how a keyword would rank if it were on a specific site?
Is there a way for me to find out how a keyword would rank if it were on a specific site? For example, lets say that XYZ.com does not have the keyword "ABC". Is there a way for me to find out how the keyword "ABC" would rank if it were on XYZ.com?

Add to cart redirect using 302
I am getting a list of crawl errors in Moz because I am using a 302 redirect when people click on an item using the quickview add to cart eg:http://copyfaxes.com/cart/quickadd?partno=4061 will redirect them to the viewshoppingcart page. Is this wrong should this be a 301 redirect? There is no link juice to pass. Thanks

Is there a way to add captions to images in the YouMoz Editor?
As the title says, I'm working on a YouMoz post and want to add captions to some of my images. Is this not possible? Since some are justified strangely, I can't just do it with the p tags they offer... I tried dropping a div styled in there and it broke everything, unsurprisingly. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Does a url with no trailing slash (/)need A special redirect to the same url with a trailing slash (/)
I recently moved a website to wordpress which the wordpress default includes the trailing slash (/) after ALL urls. My url structure used to look like: www.example.com/blue-widgets Now it looks like: www.example.com/blue-widgets/ Today I checked the urls using Open Site Explorer and below is what I discovered: www.example.com/blue-widgets returned all my links, authority, etc HOWEVER there is a note that says........."Oh Hey! it looks like that URL redirects to www.example.com/blue-widgets/. Would you like to see data for that URL instead?" When I click on the link to THAT URL I get a note that says_.....NO DATA AVAILABLE FOR THIS URL._ Does this mean that www.example.com/blue-widgets/ really has NO DATA? How do I fix this?
