      Under Traffic Sources, analytics.moz.com is listed as a source for 37 sessions this past month.

      What might this be? Is it legitimate traffic or should I be filtering this?

        It might be from you clicking on one of your URLs in Moz Analytics and visiting your site directly from there. They're likely your own visits so you could filter by your own IP to remove these along with other self-visits to your site, or filter them out via domain.  I'd try filtering by your own IP first as it will cover more areas and is a best practice, see: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1034840. Cheers!

          Thanks Ryan. I'd set up a filter for my own IP but it appears to have changed.

          I'll try this and see if it works.

          Cheers!

          • When connecting your Google Analytics account to your Moz account, Moz provides a drop-down of accounts & UA codes to select from. Where is Moz pulling those selection options from?
