  • Hi there! Thanks so much for the great question! Within Keyword Explorer you can export the SERP analysis as a CSV. This will show you the top organic results for the keyword you're searching. Within your Campaign itself, you can see the top 50 results for a keyword you're tracking within the Analyze a Keyword section but unfortunately we don't have a way to export that at this time. I will be sure to pass along the feedback to our team here, though, so they know this is something you'd like to see in the future. If you have any other questions about our tools, please feel free to send an email on over to help@moz.com.

  • Thanks!  Can you tell me how long it generally takes for the Site Crawl to run?  Mine has been reporting it is "In progress"  for the past 8hrs??

  • Usually this is accurate but it could involve you taking measures to insulate your SEO authority further. A 301 redirect won't transfer 100% of the link equity from one URL to another. If the pages are highly related and share much of the same content, almost all of the link equity flows through! If the pages contain significantly different content or are not related thematically, as little as 0% of the equity can flow through the 301 redirect (it's not a simple input / output equation) The SEO authority of a given URL is still partially (maybe mostly) defined by Google's PageRank equation. Whilst 'toolbar' PageRank is dead, 'real' PageRank (which SEOs have never seen) is still an integral ranking factor. Google still (for the most part) considers the web to be an amalgam of interlinked 'pages' (rather than websites, or domains). That's not to say that domain-level checks don't happen, they do. For the most part though, since Google lists individual web-pages in its results (not entire sites launching with a single click) - page level metrics remain extremely important. If you combine both of these pieces of knowledge, you'll see why Moz's link explorer may state that some of your URLs which now result in 301s, are worth more (or more attention) in terms of your SEO. Other tools like Ahrefs or Majestic will do exactly the same thing, it's not accidental. The fact is that a page with loads of great backlinks, will usually outperform another URL receiving similar calibur link equity which is then diluted (a little or a lot) through redirects (even including the mighty 301!) Due to all of this, whilst the 301 redirect is a great measure to translate as much equity to the new URL as possible, it's not 'as good' as having all of those links altered to point to your new resultant page. Link amends usually always out perform 301s if they are managed in their totality, the viability of getting every link switched over though (as the coding for those sites is not under your direct control) is minimal The suggestion is always to put the 301 layer underneath, but to get as many of your links actually shifted to point to your new address - as possible! Certainly your very best backlinks should be moved over. In this way, even if the new URL is a little different and Google's page comparison algorithm kicks off, you've partially circumvented some of the issue Due to all these factors, migrations of any kind (even internal ones) often result in slight traffic dips and dents. Although that's true; moving to new architectures which are better, unlocks the long-term 'space' to achieve more than you ever did before. Without growing room, you stagnate (and in the competitive world of internet marketing - that's a big no-no)

  • Hi there! Thank you so much for the great question! I just want to make sure I get you the best answer I can- are you not seeing pages get crawled in your Campaign? Or are we not detecting internal or external links when using MozBar on your site? Our tools are designed to search for html links coded as href links in your source code so that may be the problem here. That being said, I'd love to do some more digging on this for you to see what's going on! Can you send the website address you're working with on over to help@moz.com? Looking forward to hearing from you!

  • Hey, thanks for reaching out to us! The best way to accomplish this would be to use the Keywords by Site tool and then navigate to ranking keywords.  You would not be able to bulk upload these, you would need to run each domain separately.  This will return keywords ranking for URL and search volume.  For linking domains, you would also need to run a separate search in a different tool called Link Explorer.  That tool focuses on link data. The tool also will not bulk import keywords and then export suggestions for each keyword, you would need to run a keyword query for each keyword to get that data back. I hope that to answer your questions, if you need further assistance, feel free to send us an email at help@moz.com

  • Hi there Colton! Thanks for reaching out - Sam from Moz's Help Team here! Could you pop a message over to help@moz.com about this and include the page you were looking at, so we can take a look into this for you? Looking forward to hearing back!

  • Hi there, Jo from the Moz help team here. First off, it's worth noting that 5% is quite a low score. Secondly, I would clarify that the score isn't a calculation based on the Spam Score of sites linking to your site. Spam Score is percentage of sites with similar features we've found to be penalized or banned by Google. To improve this score I would recommend understanding the 27 factors used to make up this score  and working on improving them: https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score I hope this helps - let me know if there's anything else I can assist with! Jo

  • Hello Dave. Thanks for your reply. We are aware this is not affecting us being temporary and exclusive to the MOZ bot so that's why we are worried about the data-set issues. As I mentioned most of our excluded content are products, we can't be certain that MOZ has every keyword and that the ones discovered are being weighted correctly. Understandably Shopify might never make robots.txt available so it would be nice for MOZ to identify the web as a shop hosted on Shopify (a moz.txt file) and apply a rate limiting, at the very least allow the user to control the crawl parameters from our control panels for those SaaS apps that block these core functions. Hope MOZ and Shopify one day have a coffee and find a way to figure this out. But meanwhile, Is there any way to request crawls in specific folders?  something like "domain.com/products/*****"

  • Absolutely, Meghan hit the nail on the head with her response. Fresh web explorer will find what is important at the very least.

  • Hey Brett, Those Content Suggestions are there to show you how other sites are linking (and what anchor text they're using) to rank well. The anchor text is the phrase that site used to link to themselves, so we're suggesting you optimize your content for similar keywords in order to compete in the rankings with those terms. Check out this great link for more information: https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-content-marketing/content-ideation Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be more than happy to help! Eli

  • Hey there! We'd recommend checking out this resource page to learn about Spam Score and its applications: https://moz.com/help/guides/link-explorer/spam-score As for why you might not have a Spam score yet, it is determined by a separate crawler than the crawler that powers Link Explorer and updates roughly once a month. Because of this, it is entirely possible to see backlinks and domain authority, but still have no calculated Spam Score. As we continue to crawl and calculate sites, this will become less of an issue, but unfortunately at this time, we will need to wait for the Spam Score user-agent to find your domain. Hope that helps!

  • Hey Rose, thanks for reaching out! The duplicate content groups specify which URLs are considered duplicate content of each other.  How we determine duplicate content is by parsing the HTML source code of the page and comparing the similarities between all your pages.  If you have two or more pages on your site that have over 90% matching code, we will flag them as duplicate content.  The groups help identify all the pages that are dupes of each other.  I hope that helps to answer your question, you can always follow up with help@moz.com if you are needing further assistance. thanks

  • Hi there! I'm really sorry for the trouble here. This is actually a known issue with the MozBar at this time. For some sites an incorrect country is detected. Our engineers are aware of the issue, but until it is resolved we recommend ignoring this field. Sorry about that!

  • Meghan from Moz pointed out I had Disallow: /*? in the robots.txt and that appears to have been the problem. It is the default Magento 2 setting, so not sure why they had that in there.
