      Hey Guys,

      I'm fairly new to the world of SEO and have a ton of crawler issues with a friends website I'm doing some work on.

      After Moz did a site crawl I'm getting loads of errors (Total of 100+ for critical crawler, content and meta data). Most of these are due to broken social links on a subdomain - so my question is do I need to resolve all of the errors even if they are on a sub-domain? Will it affect the primary website?

      Thanks,

      Jack

          1-My first question is why Moz is crawling a subdomain, usually, a subdomain is treated as an independent website. As an  example take this 2 option blog.mywebsite.com/ andmywebsite.com/ this2 are a domain and a subdomain, Google Analytics, Moz,  Search Console will see these ones as 2 independent websites so the error on one site will not affect  second one

            Hi Roman,

            Thanks for your response, so the website that's showing broken links is http://blog.primarydomain.com

            and primary website is https://primarydomain.com/

            As you have both said above I guess it won't affect the primary but it still bugs me!

            Thanks,

            Jack

                  In that case, you will need to check your configuration, because as I mentioned the behavior of one should not affect the second one.

                  As I remember Moz use Google Analytics to set up your Moz Pro Account, so you should check both configurations (MOZ and GA) to found the error.

                  **Good Luck **
