Please Help With Fetch As Google
Ok gang. First off Im not sure what is happening. I know I have done something wrong. My traffic is way down and no articles indexed. I tried looking at my fetch as google and under status everyone of them say redirected. When I look around WA and on the web everyones examples show status as completw with a green symbol beside it. I know there is something wrong and Im coming here for some help please.

Thank you Dale for asking that question. I did not know the reason for 'redirected'. But, now I do thanks to you, and Karl for his solution to the problem.
You are welcome. The problem is I am stubborn and kept thinking it will work. Now I have so many to redo once I know it is working. Not sure how long it takes but cant wait to see that green complet button and not the yellow redirect one.
When you entered your pages in fetch, did you end the URL with a backslash? Or did you enter it with "www"?
That is the most common reason for the redirect. Did you have the yellow caution sign showing?
How long before I know if its working because I dont want to go redo all of them just to find out im still doing something wrong
I'm not sure. Mine took a day or more. I had some blocked resources I had to fetch as Google about two months ago. If you Google 'fetch as Google redirect' you will get confirmation that what I'm telling you is correct. It's a common error actually.
The redirect is just the address without the backslash redirecting to the one with the backslash where that particular page is located. It should have little impact on your traffic if any at all.

Not sure if you can make heads or tails of this but this is what mine look like . Im at my witts end.
You have the back slash / in front of everything and this has to go
Paul
Well I just tried that and it is automatically putting the backslash in after I even take it out. This is what I get
/fall-season-safety-tips-keep-everyone-safe-and-cozy
OK this is what you do but this in
fall-season-safety-tips-keep-everyone-safe-and-cozy
just copy and past it in and tell me what happens
Paul
/fall-season-safety-tips-keep-everyone-safe-and-cozy this is what shows up under path when I paste in exactly what you said. It goes in without the slash but ends up under path with the slash
please show me screen shot
hope this worked
OK my friend your website is
https://diabeteswithdale.com
BUT
You are using http://diabeteswithdale.com
to try and fetch!!!!!
so have you actually got an account for the https version?
[paul
Im so confused right now. I am so sorry to bug you over this but I need to get it figured out. So not sure what you mean when you ask about http versus https. grrrr
http is a property and https is another property that you own OK
you have registered with webmaster tools http BUT have you registered https with webmaster tools?
I have two see below
did you or not?
i think we are getting somewhere now
Yes I see you are not registered with the https
so now go to webmaster tools and fine the add property and follow the steps OK
BUT you will have to also add all your pages from your http site as well
I know a real painh=n but worth it in the end
Also remember to add as desktop and smart phone
also do the same with bing/yahoo and yonder if you use
OK
let me know hoe you get on
I think its working
Well done and now do every one!!!!
