Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Well, I think Charles may have summed it up, that it is just some CMS wonkiness . . . though I was sorta hoping there was a more concrete answer/solution than that.

This is definitely going to be a server-level configuration issue. Are you on Windows or Linux? What webserver are you using (IIS, Apache, nginx, Lighttpd?) Any chance you would PM me the URL so I can troubleshoot?

It's been over 2 years since this question was raised. Would also love to see an export option for compare metrics. Any idea as to when it will be added?

Hey Darren! It appears we have not discovered new links to the site for at least 6 months and the site is no longer in our index. OSE is based on freshness and to stay crawled is to have continuous links being discovered from sites that also have their own fresh links. You can see no new links have been picked up for the site here: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/just-discovered?site=shelbywilliams.com&filter=&source=&target=domain&page=1&sort=crawled Run the same search for potential domains you can build links on and once we have new links queued up, they will appear in 2-3 index updates and we will re-crawl the pages on your site. Hope this helps!

It's probably possible to block these url's from indexing using a regular expression in your robots.txt - however keep in mind that if bots encounter these links users will encounter them as well which leads to a degraded user experience. If I was in your situation I would try to solve the problem at the root - avoiding that these strange links are created in the first place. rgds, Dirk

Hi Jaume! Spam Score works by considering 17 different factors that are frequently present on sites that have received spam penalties. Each site is given a number based on how many of those factors are present. Most sites have at least one or two of those factors, and many sites have several of them without ever receiving a penalty. The more flags a site has, though, the greater the likelihood that it could receive a penalty. You can read more about how Spam Score works here.

You could always redirect the whole sub-directory of the community pages to what ever page you want using 301's. So after you've deleted the community section and someone were to go to any page with /community/ in it would redirect to your home page or any other page you wish. Means you wont get any 404 errors. Example if you wanted to redirect the /community/ pages to the root you would use the following code in your .htaccess file: RewriteRule ^community/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L] Your'll need access to your .htaccess file and more instructions on how to do the 301's are here - http://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/redirecting-a-web-folder-directory-to-another-in-htaccess/

The errors are appearing because users are immediately redirected to the login page. It doesn't actually matter whether these are 301 or 302 redirects because you're not looking to pass link equity anyway. The easiest way to deal with this is to tell crawlers (like Moz's and Google's) to ignore stuff they couldn't see anyway because it's only shown to logged-in users. I generally block the /customer/* folder in robots.txt to avoid issues like this. And if you have a wishlist in the primary nav that's worth blocking, too. You could also just remove the Wish List link when users aren't logged in. The idea is to tell the crawlers to avoid any portion of the site where a login is required. So you could just upload a text file to canyonos.com/robots.txt that looks like this: user-agent: * disallow: /customer/ disallow: /wishlist/ These lines will block the entire folder, so you should only do it if there's nothing in the folder that search engines can see. In other words, use this line if everything in the folder is behind a login (it usually is in Magento). Google's info is pretty good here: https://developers.google.com/webmasters/control-crawl-index/docs/robots_txt?csw=1

Hi Charles, (EDIT: I mean Louisa! Saw the screen name, but not the signature.) Great question! At the moment, though, the really aren't any third party dashboard platforms that can import Moz campaign data because our API is limited to the Mozscape index. So, while there are a handful of platforms that use Moz link data—Raven, for example—there aren't any that'd allow you to import anything else.

Yes, options in both GA and WMT's. The new search analytic's (beta) is where I would start. All you do is tick pages, country (assuming limited to a country). Then dates - compare and choose your date range. You then choose page measuring. After that press re-set on page and then test the next page. Then you will get clicks per page. Let me know if that assists or need any more detail.

Hi Torbett Would you be able to provide an example of an issue we are still reporting?

"Actual traffic numbers"... You can get some numbers in webmaster tools.  Also, some numbers at SEMrush.  I don't think that either of them are "actual" but that's as good as it gets.

Thanks so much, that is just the answer I was looking for.

Hi Mike, Patrick makes some good points, especially regarding the site returning a 500 error; as long as you're returning a server error on this site's only page, it's unlikely you'll be able to rank for anything. The fact that the AVVO page is ranking instead is far, far better than nothing. It looks like the site is no longer redirecting, so I suspect you're right about it being a caching issue. You haven't lost all of bestdefensega.com's link juice permanently; once your server error is resolved and the new site is live, those links will still pass value. If there are pages that used to be on bestdefensega.com that will no longer be there, make sure those are 301 redirected to their nearest equivalent and, where possible, reach out to the sites that link to you to ask them to update the links, and it should be fine. You can view the reasons behind the low spam score by going here: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/spam-analysis/flags?subdomain=bestdefensega.com. It looks like most of the problem is that you just don't have many links pointing to the site, and the ones you do have are lower-quality. Some of the other flags, like ratio of followed to nofollowed subdomains and percentage of branded links, may be somewhat skewed by the small size of the data set. OSE is now showing that you have 5 inbound links to the site; Majestic has you at 231 links from 9 domains. It's not uncommon for tools to show different numbers on something like inbound links. Each tool crawls and stores link data differently, and links may or may not show up in each tool based on factors like age, trust/authority, etc. Whether you have 500, 200 or 5 links, that's still not very many links - and it looks like most of them are coming from just a few domains. So once you've got the new site up and running, make sure you're investing some time and effort into a long-term link earning strategy. To Patrick's point, getting links and citations from other businesses/websites in your local area will help build your brand and send a strong local signal. Good luck!

Hi sorry to Dig this old post up but a client has a similar problem and I'd like to know how this panned out in the end, did that page ever get its DA back?

where can I sent a feature request? We are also switching to Adobe Analytics.. and possibly moving away from Moz if it doesn't support Adobe in a short time..

Go Dan!
