I tried to fetch a url in Google search console and got a redirect a redirect status. What does this mean and how can I fix it?

When you fetch a url first make sure the domain name does not have a www in front of it.

But your problem is probably because you have a / at the end of the url

Everything is in order but it's a long url. Does this matter?

How long is the url?

11 words including domain

Copy and paste the url here so I can see it.

Exactly. We need to see it. Unless you have it in draft mode unpublished or a letter off, it should have gotten it.

Fetched it right off. You have a forward slash in front of it. Why? That's your problem.

You have a / in front of the http. There should be nothing in front of http

When you fetch you're supposed to paste in only the:
best-wordpress-email-subscribe-plugin-for-list-building

If you put in the whole address with the domain name or even just the / at the end of the domain name - it goes to that "Redirect" stuff.

Thanks this is how Google fetched it but I took the forward slash out and it worked.

Hey honey boy...pretty plug in is driving me nuts to shorten urls and redirect them..I'm missing it on the tutorial...CAN U HELP ME?

What site do you find this information out?

Google Search Console

My G+ page seems to do the same thing on a regular basis. I can only think that's a good thing, since Google is the ranker, so whatever you're doing, keep it up! :-)

Your G+ can get ranked and it does relate to you and your sites as overall ranking.

I got a new customer from another country wanting to place a order but because the shipping company they chose isn't accepting credit cards they want to pay me the shipping cos

I would not do it.Usually they want to send you a cheque which is more than what is required. You deposit the cheque that could later bounce and you are left on the hook to your bank.

No cheques involved

No, I wouldn't do it.

Even if they pay up front?

See what it will cost and add to the product cost. Get them to pay and then ship.

I wouldn't do it. First thing I tell anyone about working on the internet for anything is that you never pay anything to anyone up front unless its for a product you're purchasing. Buying things for people online should be off limits. Good luck.

I'm not buying anything Eparrishjr I'm selling. I ran into something I wasn't sure about and needed some advice on how to proceed. But thanks for your input it will be dutifully noted.

I know what you meant. Paying for his shipping cost is just like you buying something first with no guarantee. I was just saying avoiding that pattern. Good luck.

Lamont international shipping can be quite a chunk of change. I would find out what the shipping cost is and add it to the price of the product then when they pay you for the order you are covered. Do not ship it until you are paid.

Thanks Dreamer. That's how I was going to proceed but being a newcomer to online marketing I'm still learning the do's & don'ts. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't getting ripped off.

CYA at all times. Go Get'em!

I have been hearing a lot about landing pages and I would like to create one but I don't have the slightest idea of how to begin. Can someone please give me some pointers?

Hey Shakem, these may give you some ideas :

Thanks JewelCarol this was exactly what I was looking for.

You are most welcome, Shakem. Have a great day. :)

Same to you

I am new here but I think that
a landing page is the home page. I hope that is right.
I will be watching your answers to guide me too.

Added a page but when I click on it my post display instead of page. This has me baffled can anyone help?

What is your website URL? If you provide us some context of exactly what you are talking about it would be quite helpful here. It is tough to guess exactly what you are talking about.

Thanks bro!

Thanks for replying but somebody already helped

It is published and in menu. Title shows on site but when I click on it my posts show instead of the page.
If you could go to my site http://learn-2-earn-online and click on my privacy policy you will see what I am talking about

I tried to open several times, it's not opening.

http://learn-2-earn-online.com/privacy-policy

he missed the .com in his link.

It seems like you may have set the privacy page as the blog location.
Check under the Reading section in your Settings area and see if the Privacy Page is set as Posts Page under Static page settings.

Yep that did the trick thanks

your welcome..
It is an easy mistake to make.

Posts and pages work differently. You will need to add a page to your site menu in order to see it. Go to appearance on your menu in word press. then choose "menu". Tick the pages you want to see on the menu and then click save.

That is one way of seeing your page. With pages it doesn't pop up automatically like post does. You have to provide a link to the page.

I'm not so sure what you mean. But if you want your page to show, check your page attributes. Simply open the page, on the lower right hand, you will find the attributes. It has to be a "Parent" with order "0" and added to your menu. If you want it to be a page in a category you created, then specify the category you want it under. I hope this helps. Feel free to get in touch anytime. All the best ~Betcha
