    Hello! Sam from Moz's Help Team here! So -  after being found, newly discovered links have the ability to be populated into our index in about 3 days. However, there are a lot of factors which can affect our ability to find and index links to your site. It's important to note that we are always adding new data to our index, but it may take some time for us to discover backlinks to your site based on factors like crawlability of the referring pages, quality of the links and the referring pages, and more. If you are not seeing links that you know you have, you may want to make sure that they can be indexed. It is also a good idea to check to see if we've indexed the page on which that link is found. If we haven't indexed the referring page yet, you won't see your link in our index. You can also add links to Link Tracking Lists. Once you add a link to your tracking lists we will add that page to be crawled. As long as it is accessible to our crawler, you should see the link in our index as soon as we can index those pages. Lastly, I have a great guide here with some things to check around why we may not have found your links yet: https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/moz-isnt-finding-your-links If you'd like any further information, please feel free to pop us an email over at help@moz.com. We do also have a great guide to Domain Authority just here: https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority

    Hi, No, MOZ does not have any option to disavow links and you should not be worried about disavowing links in Moz. Instead, disavow them from the Google Search Console because Google is the search engine that ranks your site according to proper linking.

    Hi, Great question, Link Explorer and the Links tab of Moz Pro Campaigns are both tied to our Link index, which is constantly updating. After being found, newly discovered links have the ability to be populated into our index in about 3 days. When discovered or lost links are found, we'll update our database to reflect those changes in your scores and link counts. We prioritize the links we crawl based on a machine learning algorithm to mimic Google's index. This does not mean that DA and PA will change with every data update, though; it will only change if we find new link data for a respective site. I'm sorry I can't tell you exactly when your DA will update it depends on when we find new equity passing backlinks to your site. You can read more about our new Link Explorer tool and our index here. ​ You can also read more about how our Link index compares with our competitors here https://backlinko.com/best-backlink-checker Feel free to reach out to help@moz.com with any further questions

    Hi snjaoieiw, To get a detailed answer from Moz staff on what DA is, you might consider searching the Q&A forum. In short, though, it is a Moz metric (not a Google or Bing metric) that takes into consideration the number (and quality) of backlinks your website has. That said, have you been working on building up high quality backlinks? -Zack


  • Edward The Moz software is correct (per my comment below). Your current tag is the facebook open graph description. Use the Yoast SEO plugin to add meta descriptions to your pages. -Dan

  • What you're seeing is normal. What you want to check is that the number of pages is the number you expect. From the SEOMoz FAQ on the Crawl Report: We are still seeing duplicate content on SEOmoz even though we have marked those pages as "noindex, follow." Any ideas why? SEOMoz is not a search engine index, it uses a crawler. If those pages are not blocked by the robots.txt file, then SEOMoz will crawl them. They ignore the noindex tag because they don't index anything. Search engines will honor the noindex tag and not index a page if you specify with the robots meta tag. However, to remove pages from the crawl, disallow them in the robots.txt or metarobots. (http://www.seomoz.org/help/crawl-diagnostics) Hope this helps.

  • Thanks, Ruth. I see what you're saying about the crawl now. I'll go ahead and reach out the help team. Hopefully we can figure it out!

  • The best and most efficient solution with any question regarding Moz crawls or tools is to go directly to them with questions (sometimes there's enough unique behind the scenes stuff going on that forum people don't have access to). Their team is great and has helped me a handful of times, quickly and politely.

  • Hi Paul, We discovered that the problem was being caused by a trailing "comma" at the end of the keyword string that we once used  to populate the Meta keywords tag. Unfortunately, the keyword information in those fields is still being parsed. The parser did not know what to do when it encountered a comma followed by nothing. We did run a query and found that this problem was affecting 128 of our product pages and had been for a long time. We haven't been populating the keywords for almost a year now, so the problem is at least that old. The commas are now gone. Thanks again to you and Andrew!

  • Not that I know of... but even if they did it would only be an approximation of what they could gather were search volumes based off of trends. Whereas going through something like Adwords would give you the data straight from the source (more or less). There are also other tools out there to help with that data as well such as Wordtracker (like BeardoCo mentioned) and SEMrush which offers some organic keyword volumes along with the rest of its data.

  • We would be happy to take a detailed look at this. Can you open a help ticket and include the full URL you're generating, including the AccessID and signature? That way, we should be able to determine exactly what the problem is. Thanks!

  • Answered in order, Stephen: 1. Normally, the fact that ecowindchimes.com/ is getting redirected is a good thing. But in this case, there's a problem with how it's been done. If you want to see where it's redirecting to, just enter that exact address in your browser's address bar and watch what happens to the address. It will change to www.ecowindchimes.com/default.asp. Done correctly, it should redirect to www.ecowindchimes.com (no default.asp extension) This is called canonicalisation and it's designed to make sure your site's pages only get indexed under 1 URL. As far as the search engines are concerned, ecowindchimes.com/ and www.ecowindchimes.com/ are separate sites, even though the pages themselves are the same. By redirecting one to the other, you remove this problem. The problem here is that www.ecowindchimes.com/default.asp is yet another way to refer to what is simply the home page of your site. This means that now, instead of www.ecowindchimes.com/ and www.ecowindchimes.com/ being duplicates of each other you have www.ecowindchimes.com and www.ecowindchimes.com**/default.asp** being dupes of each other. This needs to be corrected in your .htaccess file using 301 redirects. You need to make ecowindchimes.com/ use a proper canonical redirect to www.ecowindchimes.com. This will catch ALL version of your pages that start without the www and redirect them to the correct URL with the www. (You'll need to delete the existing redirect as it's incorrect) Then you need to 301-redirect www.ecowindchimes.com/default.asp directly to www.ecowindchimes.com/. 2. I've answered your question # 2 as fully as I can on your followup question. in short, your Volusion system is faking that 404 status as a hack to deal with the fact they don't handle 404 errors in the normal way. The page exists fine and that particular error can be ignored. 3. For your last question, this demonstrates why the hacked method for 404s being used is a problem. URLs that should be 404s will show up looking like 301 redirects instead, because of the hack in use. To test this URL, again just put it in your address bar and watch where it gets redirected to. In this case, it's going to your 404 page (See answer to your followup question as linked above for explanation why this happening) So, yes you need to try to fix these kinds of errors. It's saying that somewhere, there is a page linking to ecowindchimes.com/index.html?lang=en-us&target=d2.html. That is a URL from your old site before you migrated to the Volusion system. It likely means that there are pages on another web sites still linking to your old page addresses.  It's also possible these are outdated links from within your own pages. By entering that URL in the Wayback Machine I can see that it was for a page for Gracenote windchimes, so you'll want to redirect it to your Gracenotes category page. If you want to figure out what pages those broken links are coming from, you can use Webmaster Tools 404 error report and SEOmoz's 404 error report as starting points. NOTE! You'll need to actually download the SEOmoz report as a CSV in order to see the Referrer column at the right side of the report. Hope all that helps, more than confuses? If anything's not clear, be sure to holler. Paul
