  • Hi, I'm seeing a huge rank fluctuation reported by GSC (all rank trackers reported stable rank) for one of our pages, one particular keyword, in one particular country (US), and only Desktop (not Mobile). Is anyone else encountering a similar case? More details: huge rank fluctuation reported by GSC in the US, stable in other countries (since Oct 7th) all rank tracking service reported stable top rank in US cities (as well as our own friend's testing across the country) only happen to 1 keyword and its close variation (other keywords that the page also ranks for are quite stable) only observed fluctuation for Desktop, while Mobile is stable in those low-ranked days, the average CTR is only slightly lower than normal days Does anyone have any idea what could this be?  Should I trust GSC's fluctuation or the rank tracking service's stable top rank? 0ee0a6cdd6cfc194e670ba5628d04e3d7c8253a35fdbf33291018aa4f528fd1e.png

  • I was wondering if anyone can help? I am working using Moz to help improve the SEO on a website I am working with, the website contains thousands of pages, yet for some reason Moz only seems to be crawling a small snap shot of the website. I know there are particular pages that I had added a couple of weeks ago - about 300 in total - and none of these were showing on the first crawl, so I did another on-demand crawl and some of these showed up then. Despite this, it says it crawled 700ish pages, but there are getting close to 20-30ish thousand live pages on the site. Any thoughts and guidance as to why they crawling may be stopping?

  • I'm new to Moz so still learning the system. I was just looking at the most significant move down of some keywords. I have one 'flooding carburetor' that moved down 50+. Now my question. How do I figure out which page was used, or is that even a consideration. I have that particular phrase scattered all over the web site. Thanks for the help.

  • hello friends hope all are you are fine my question is from beginning we use to taught that google always give importance to high DA sites and everyone wants backlinks from high DA site so my question is that is DA actually pays the role in the ranking? In my case i think No. The reason behind it is the google wants the quality not the authority is that true?

  • When I have amended the missing description Metadata issue on an individual page do I have to manually mark as 'fixed' or 'Ignore'? I have attended to several pages regards Missing Description Metadata Issues and not manually marked them as fixed. However they still appear in metadata missing description issues after a second on demand crawl? Will they continue to appear until I manually mark them as fixed?

  • I am working to improve SEO of a specific program offered by our school. The program's pages are located in a subfolder like school.edu/program. This program is different from other programs offered by the school, both in terms of content, audience, etc. Right now, I tried to add the subfolder, but I feel that Moz is giving me results on the whole website. Also, I tried to add some competing programs from other schools (by adding their pages' URL) but again Moz seems to give me comparison results of the whole websites.

  • Been trying to exclude a ton of backed up files on our domain that have to stay public as people transition content over. I have tried everything — search a subdirectory by name, updated robots.txt with disallow and noindex (both with and without / or /*) and I still get almost triple the number of 'actual' pages. I there any way to get cleaner results aside from manual sort-n-cut from the CSV?

  • I'm currently on the free month trial period for Moz Pro and I will probably cancel the account before the free period ends, but if I want to renew my subscription later, what happens to all the previous data? And does all the keyword research I've done disappear when I cancel it, or is it restored when I renew the subscription? Any insight is helpful! Thank you!

  • Hi, I ran a crawl test on our website and it came back with 900 5xx potential errors. When I started opening these links 1 by 1 I could see they were actually working. So i exported the full list of 900 and went to the website: https://httpstatus.io/ pasted the links by 100 and used that. They came back with status codes of  301 / 301 / 200 which i believe means they are okay. After reading it says that my programmer may need to see if we are blocking the MOZ BOT or to slow the MOZ BOT down. I guess I'm wondering if this is not done is the site actually having these 5xx errors when Google is Crawling or is it just showing 900 errors because of MOZ BOT but actually things are okay? I know the simple answer is to get the programmer to fix the MOZ BOT issue to know for sure but getting programmers to do things take a lot of time so I'm trying to get a better idea here. Thanks for your input.

  • We are building a new site that, on the blog landing page, uses JS to populate the individual blog article links on the page. The links are not viewable in the page source, but do appear once the page fully renders. After running an on-demand crawl of the site (in QA...not indexed yet), it appears that Moz isn't indexing these pages, and it also isn't reading other page elements that load later (like an H1 that is rendered in JS but not in page source). Are we going to be able to use Moz to track this site? Is there some setting to help?

  • When I try and crawl our site through Moz it gives this message: Moz was unable to crawl your site on Aug 7, 2019. Our crawler was banned by a page on your site, either through your robots.txt, the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header, or the meta robots tag. Update these tags to allow your page and the rest of your site to be crawled. If this error is found on any page on your site, it prevents our crawler (and some search engines) from crawling the rest of your site. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. I have been through all the help and doesn't seem to be any issues. You can check the site and robots.txt here: https://myfamilyclub.co.uk/robots.txt. Anyone got any advice on where I could go to get this sorted?

  • I would like to track how keywords rank across blog.website.com and www.website.com without setting up separate campaigns for each. We don't care if the blog, or the main site rank, we just want something to rank and therefore want to track both sites  in 1 campaign. Is there a way to do this without setting up a separate campaign for the subdomain and the main site?

  • Hello, I have a site that has around 300k static pages but each one of these has pagination on it. I would like to stop Rodger Bot from crawling the paginated pages and maybe even Google. The paginated pages are results that change daily so there is no need to index them. What's the best way to prevent them from being crawled? The pages are dynamic so I don't know the URLs. I have seen people mention add no follow to the pagination links would this do it? or is there a better way? Many thanks Steve

  • The Moz site crawl isn't working for my campaign, but works for the  site's on demand crawl. The search should not be disallowed by robots.txt or the headers. I'd like to be able to track the website for the campaign so I can see SEO gains / losses and increases / decreases in indexing.

  • Hey guys, I am attempting to optimize a website for my wife's business but Moz is unable to crawl it.  Zenfolio is the web hosting service (she is a photographer). The error message is: **Moz was unable to crawl your site on Apr 1, 2019. **Our crawler was not able to access the robots.txt file on your site. This often occurs because of a server error from the robots.txt. Although this may have been caused by a temporary outage, we recommend making sure your robots.txt file is accessible and that your network and server are working correctly. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. Read our troubleshooting guide. I did read the troubleshooting guide but nothing worked. My robots.txt file disallows a few bots, but not roger bot.  Anyone have any idea what is going on?  Or do I need to request server logs from Zenfolio? Thanks

  • I really need some major advice on this one. Back in September, I asked a question on here as follows: "A client wanted to change their domain name, which we have now done. The site content itself is exactly the same. We put 301 redirect links in so that Google searchers would redirect from the old site to the new one. However Moz then said that it couldn't crawl the old domain because of the redirects and advised creating a brand new campaign for the new domain. We have done this but now Moz says that the domain authority of the new site is 2 (it was 14 on the old domain)." My original question and the answers I got are here: https://moz.com/community/q/new-domain-wipes-out-domain-authority). Generally the responses I got were that we should give Moz time to crawl the new domain and process all the "new" pages. It is now February, ie 6 months after the domain rename, and on Moz the site still has a DA of 2. It seems like 6 months is enough time to wait. We checked all the recommended guides and believe we have done it all correctly. I really don't know what to do now. Can anyone help or have a quick look and work out why this is so bad? Specifics are:
    old domain: https://ryemeadcleaning.co.uk
    new domain: https://ryemeadgroup.co.uk

  • Hi, reading the Article Spam Score: Moz's New Metric to Measure Penalization Risk I became curious about the mentioned Spam Analysis tool: Right now, you can find Spam Score inside Open Site Explorer, both in the top metrics (just below domain/page authority) and in its own tab labeled "Spam Analysis." I could find the Spam score of my site within the link explorer but I could not find the Spam Analysis tool that checks the 17 key indications that a site might be a spam site. I am also a Free Trial subscriber right now. Where can I find the Spam Analysis tool?
