      I have over 200 links in this report (mostly from a staging site). I have deleted that staging site and I cannot find the reference to the other links.

      So my question is, where is Moz finding these links?

        Identify Page Not Found Visits

        404 error

        Hello everyone! I have always known enough about Google Analytics and SEO to be dangerous, but was not a focus for me. I am working on a project were I am looking at stuff where my knowledge is limited. The scenario is that the domain I am looking at will serve a 404 error, but keeps the url, I guess for tracking purposes. At the same time, there is a page "Page_Not_Found" that has elevated visits. I am not sure how to tell where the visits are coming from to the PNF since the Previous Page is mostly identified as "(entrance)" Is the PNF correlated to the process of serving an error page but not changing the URL? Ideally, I am looking to identify and improve the 404 visits. I hope that I provided clear enough information. Happy to provide more as needed.

        Unsolved Why is Moz reporting 308s as 302s?

        redirect 302 308

        Got a looooong list of redirect issues in my crawl for a new client, all reported as 302s but as far as I can see they are all 308s... which is perfectly fine, right, or have I missed a memo? They even confirm the 308 status in the moz detail.

        Unsolved Moz doesn't find backlinks for months / link tracking list offline

        link tracking list link explorer backlinks domain authority

        Hi there
        I want to share a big problem with you. Moz tracking list seems to be offline or having trouble finding links. I have an example:
        The page where the backlink has been placed was created months ago. As you can see on the picture:
        Link to the page is http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/profile/tableauxdumonde
        Backlink on that page is https://ggongtime.com/ Picture shows clearly that the page of backlink (Microsoft) has been indexed and already has got it's own backlinks in Moz (8) but it is still not linking to the backlink website (ggongtime.com).
        I've also attached a picture of page source where you can clearly see that it is a html link and is dofollow.
        The problem remains since 3 months and I want to find out what is going on. This Microsoft page is one of example. There are hundreds of other pages being found, or not, and are still not showing up in Link Explorer on website's portfolio.
        I want to know if there is a technical problem with link explorer, or anything else, because this is a serious problem for me. moz problem.png

        I have over 3000 4xx errors on my site for pages that don't exist! Please help!

        seo 4xx error 4xx error error fix error

        Hello! I have a new blog that is only 1 month old and I already have over 3000 4xx errors which I've never had on my previous blogs. I ran a crawl on my site and it's showing as my social media links as being indexed as pages. For example, my blog post link is:
        https://www.thebloggersincentive.com/blogging/get-past-a-creative-block-in-blogging/
        My site is then creating a link like the below:
        https://www.thebloggersincentive.com/blogging/get-past-a-creative-block-in-blogging/twitter.com/aliciajthomps0n
        But these are not real pages and I have no idea how they got created. I then paid someone to index the links because I was advised by Moz, but it's still not working. All the errors are the same, it's indexing my Twitter account and my Pinterest. Can someone please help, I'm really at a loss with it.

        Moz tools are returning "url is inaccessible"

        Hello everyone, I have been trying to use the on page grader tool and I have also tried to do a site crawl test, and both tools have come back with a "Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible" error. This has not been a problem before. Any ideas why this is happening eg what is blocking it. The url is www.livinghouse.co.uk any help for a novice would be appreciated. PS. I have had another tool also not giving any results, so I assume its something on the site which is blocking the tools. Could this also block Google? Thanks Giles

        The "Social Media Monitoring" tool in research tools

        I used this tool once and noticed it provided nice links to where listed keywords were posted in articles, forums, blogs, etc..., since that time @3 weeks ago... it lists an "error" to links and/or doesn't provide them in a linkable list below to access. Is this tool being worked on or will it be available in the future? Thank you.
