I think Screaming Frog will tell you the page it found the weird url, then you can check the source, and find out whats producing that link.

RE: Moz is incorrect
apologies
I did think for a second after writing "He" maybe I should have said "the person" or "they", but then laziness kicked in

RE: What does the blocking_google property in the CSV export mean, and what to do about it?
check that those pages don't have some like:
meta name="robots" content="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW" />
in the source code

RE: How to upload 50 keywords to the ranking tool
Are you talking about the rankchecking tool (http://ranktracker.moz.com/) or via a campaign?
you can upload multi keywords at a time with the campaign rank checker, but I don't think you can with http://ranktracker.moz.com/

RE: Moz is incorrect
he means when you manuly search google gives you personal results that can be very different to what everyone else gets
so if you search oasis-land.com, the url is :
add &pws=0 to the end of that url
that will give you results with personal results turned off
note: we track .co.uk and have had no problems with moz's tracking

RE: Our Robots.txt and Reconsideration Request Journey and Success
considering this thread has only 36 views I think you should go ahead a post on youmoz, as I think its deservers more exposure ( maybe added pieter point and your warning about not to blindly follow removem)

RE: Do you recommend Yahoo Local Search registration?
I think its really depends on you website and budget. Some people say its worth it others say its not. Some get direct traffic from it, but I think most do not (from my own experience I got no direct traffic from it).
I'm not going to say you should not get it, but for my own point of view I have no plans currently to get it for my own site

RE: Hover texts for hyperlinks
The article is 6 years old, a just far to out of date in the seo world!
When I first started on "seo" I found a 2007-8 article on link sculpting you site Nav with No follow. Then after doing a ton of work applying this to the the site Nav I found out it all changed in 2009, and it was now a terrible Idea!

RE: Hover texts for hyperlinks
Little if any I would have thought, but to be honest I have never looked into it. Think it of it as a tool tip, giving a bit more info for the user. If it helps the user then use it, if not then don't

edit: Here is an old topic asking the same thing (hope that helps)

RE: Our Robots.txt and Reconsideration Request Journey and Success
Hopefully I'll never be in the situation you found yourselves in, but a great read and now I know what to expect if I ever do (touch wood).
This might have been better as a youmoz post than a forum post btw.

RE: HELP - Site architecture of E-Commerce Mega Menu - Linkjuice flow
Your DA and PA are weak so if I were you I would be selective on what your target. Do some research on keywords you would like to rank for and see what the competition is like for that keyword in the serps and if you have a hope to rank ( you might want to start on mid-long term keywords).
You can also see what pages your currently rank for (page 2 or 3) and if a little improvement with the PA would it get to the front page, then you will know if it worth having a site wide link (via the Nav) to get the max PA to that page from your own site.
But don't for get the people have to use the site so it might not be possible to have every link on the nav to be a landing page.

RE: Penguin Update, what I've noticed
I think alot off people are not taking into account about the penguin 2.0 update its site that are backlinking to you might be devalued.
So you look at your own backlink profile and you think its ok, but the backlink profile of the site that backlink to you might have hand there authority reduced (maybe even penalised). And then what about the backlinks to the backlink of the backlinks ( backlInkception)
My under standing is that penguin 2.0 is only about backlink profiles (like 1.0), and everything else is speculation at this stage without a lot of research.
I'm not saying what your have noted is not correct, just that there are far to many variables at this stage to come to any conclusions and some bigger research needs to be done on it.
"so we are focusing now on links to home page" I think that might be a good idea, more links to the homepage would look more natural IMO

RE: HELP - Site architecture of E-Commerce Mega Menu - Linkjuice flow
you have to think what your landing pages are related to the keyword, (are your products your landing page or are your categorys your landing pages) the 145 links on the nav is really splitting your PA of you pages very thin. eg the 27 pa of your homepage is being spread over those 145 pages. Its better to reduce those site wide links to just your landing pages, with clearly always thinking of your users use the site and what works best for them. Think of it like this is a menu with 145 really helping your users?
I'm currently doing the same think for our website, reducing a 222 link nav down is about 20

RE: Someone copied my content and it's ranking higher than mine!
If you get no answer from the webmaster, try contacting the host as hes probably breaking their T&Cs by stealing content and if they contact him about it then the webmaster might take it more seriously.

RE: Does Yahoo Directory Listing Pass Authority with PA:0 and 0 links from 0 Root Domains?
the most likely explanation is the moz's bot had not crawled that page ( is too deep), to give it a value. Note: google bots crawls a lot more than moz's bot and so it will give that page value, its easy to test, google the url and see it its indexed.
Does it pass any authority is a different question. I have heard mixed opinions about the yahoo directory, some saying its worth the money, other saying its not.
Personally and currently I would not bother paying for it, but I would not tell someone they shouldn't get it. At my last job I did not renew the link one year and it did not seem to have any effect on the site's serp (but I cannot prove it did not)
If you search the forums you will find alot of topics about it.

RE: Duplicate Page Content Report on MOZ
moz's bot crawls 10,000 pages on your site and will report every error it finds on those pages. If your 9999 page is a dup of 10,001 page (ie the a page the bot does not crawl), it will not report about the dup (as it does not know about it)
Also the next time the bot crawls the site it might crawl different pages from the first 10k it crawled (eg if your have changed the site structure etc), so the report might change even if you have not removed the dups
note: the bot normally crawls slightly more than 10k, (eg 10,234 pages)

Good Adwords resources/ Guides
I'm going to be taking over the PPC for my company. A 3rd party currently does it but I have done a review and they have not been doing a great job ( I spotted a few very basic mistakes), so we want to switch it to in house
I have experience with PPC, and I'm confident on the basic of it, but I was looking for a good (recent) PPC resource or guide so I can make sure I'm doing it right, basicly a ppcmoz

For example current the campaigns are set to accelerated, but I have been told that is very wasteful, but the 3rd party explanation is:"We set the campaigns to be accelerated to avoid missing out on potential sales. These can be set to standard if you wish however there is a higher chance that sales could be missed."
Which is correct?

RE: Seomoz pages error
are you sure that there are only 100 pages? I noticed you have different urls/pages for each language version of your site, so that would x5 to start off with.
if you google site:http://www.clearviewtraffic.com
you see you have at least 868 pages crawled by google
If you look into the report in detail you can see what pages have the errors which will give you a clue were its getting the 19k pages from
