  • Hey Nina, sorry your crawl data is looking a bit off. We don't count 301 redirects in the duplicate content, so it may be that these pages were not yet redirected when we crawled or that they are responding differently to our crawler than they would in a browser. However, it is difficult for me to say without looking into the pages directly. Can you please let me know which campaign you are seeing this on so that I can investigate further? If you prefer not to mention the campaign name in this public forum, you can email help@moz.com directly or use the contact form here: https://moz.com/help/contact/pro. You can just mention that you are replying to Chiaryn in your message and it will make its way directly to me. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

  • Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here. Yes, you can add/delete/change the competitors associated with your Campaign any time by clicking into the Campaign Settings section and scrolling down a bit. Here's a screenshot of where to find that section: http://screencast.com/t/cvqhQmcd Please note that once you've added new competitors to your existing campaign, information won't start tracking on those new competitors until your next weekly campaign refresh occurs. I hope this helps, but please let me know if there's anything else I can assist with. And, as always, you can reach out to our team with any product questions in the future by sending a note to help@moz.com Have a great day! -Kristina

  • I think the idea is to manage them in Moz Analytics for more accurate things like tags they'll be a lot more options soon. _**Citing: https://moz.com/help/guides/keyword-explorer**_ "Currently, we only support a single column upload (keywords). We will be updating this to support uploading the same file you can export from the keyword list pages which will include the keyword, volume, difficulty, opportunity, custom score and potential. We’ll let everyone know when that update is released!" But you can separate them by uploading them to Moz analytics You can export from the keyword tool which you can save a list of keywords under a tag or name. So if I have list-1 and list-2 I can pick relevancy and use filters to slim them down to exactly what I want but I do not believe you can add another tag in addition to the name of the list. You have to do that inside of Moz Analytics Here is an excellent walk-through on how to do exactly what you just asked. "Add & Manage Your Keywords in Moz Analytics!" https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-pro-overview/keyword-rankings/add-and-manage-keywords Here is a great link to a larger photo than the one below showing you how you can place the tag and first below and add the keywords in bulk. Once you hit upload, you will have your tags attached to any of the keywords that you've placed in the box labeled keywords. http://i.imgur.com/wl9Pdg7.jpg I don't think me describing it would do any better than that page can do but please let me know if it is something that you would like more help with or if you have any other issues. Cite: https://moz.com/help/guides/keyword-explorer FAQ "How do I add my keywords to my Moz Analytics campaigns? In the future, we’ll have an automatic button that lets you directly add keywords to a Moz Analytics campaign. For now, the easiest way is to export a list to CSV and import or copy/paste to the “add keywords” page in Moz Analytics."

  • Hi friends, Sorry for the delay in responding. I have a great news -- as of today, this bug for Q&A forum emails has been fixed. (Any emails timestamped now 1:20pm PDT and going forward.) Unfortunately, this bug is also happening in Blog comment emails. The blog and Q&A systems are not tied together, and the development work on it rests with another dev team. The good news is that we know the issue (half the battle). We are working on prioritizing the work, and I'm hoping that in the next couple months (at most), this will be fixed. Thanks Update 7/28/16 - The blog comments are also fixed. This bug is fixed!

  • Hey Siggi, thanks for the question. The crawler that Moz uses for the On-Page scores is very rudimentary, so it can only match the characters directly and any difference between the characters on your page and the keyword term will be reflected as no match in the optimization report. I can't speak to the SEO aspect of the question, but I can say that Google's bot is much more sophisticated than ours, so it is likely that they can understand the similarity of the two terms much better than our On-Page crawler can. Another thing to keep in mind is that these reports is that we only show these as suggestions based on SEO best practices, but you may certainly find that not every suggestion is exactly what your site needs. It is important to consider what the right things is specifically for your site and to use your discretion when taking these suggestions into consideration. I hope this helps!

  • Hey Joe! The KWE limits do reset each month. The day of the month they update is different for every user and it looks like the limits for your account reset on the 6th of each month. I hope this helps! Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.

  • Is there a reason for SquareSpace to do this? We have a number of small sites on SquareSpace and are experiencing this same issue.

  • Yeah - I've seen numerous examples of scraper-type sites like this that change up their content and/or have dynamic flux that means a crawler might see a word/phrase/sentence/link that later disappears. Frustrating, but hard to account for. Long term, we'll try to work on ways to exclude sites like it from the index.

  • Hi there! Tawny from the Help Team here. Thanks for writing in - this is a great question. In order to find the page our crawler was on when it encountered a 404 error, I'd recommend requesting the full crawl CSV via the 'Email CSV' button in your 'Site Crawl' section. From there, you'll want to check the referrer URL for the page that 404s. To do that, find the URL of the page in column A of the CSV and locate the referrer URL for that page in column AM. The URL in column AM is the page our crawler was on when it ran into the link for the page that results in a 404 in the browser. I hope this helps identify where these are coming from - if there's any additional information you're needing, please don't hesitate to let us know! You can write in to help@moz.com any time if you need a bit more guidance.

  • Thanks that's what I'm leaning towards at the moment.  Is there ever a case where you wouldn't use a noindex on subsequent pages for an ecommerce website that lists a large amount of products paginated?

  • Thanks Yossi, this is kind of what I expected I think.  I guess the question should have been "has anyone had Moz crawl issues with their Zendesk support site"? The main issue with our support site is that Zendesk does not allow access to the robots.txt file so there is no way to add regular expressions like the wildcard search/* to it. I will re-post the question as above.

  • Hi Peter! Keyword Difficulty takes into account the Page Authority (PA) and Domain Authority (DA) scores of the results ranking on the first page of Google for the given query, as well as modifying intelligently for projected click-through-rate of a given page (putting more weight on higher-ranking, more visible pages and less on lower-ranking, less visible pages). The formula also accounts for newer pages on powerful domains that may have DA scores but have not yet been assigned PA values. I hope that provides some clarification!
