  • Hi, For the second week in a row MOZ is finding duplicate titles crawling my website. 
    But as you see in the attached screenshot it doesn't seem it's a clear duplicate title thing, as it's mainly due to the different pages having the same title. 
    What should I do? Is it really affecting my SERP positioning? ZANRT

  • Hey guys, forgive me... brand new user of Moz. Moz is telling me I have duplicate url's - a lot of them. Investigating I see that it is classing http://creativedigital.co.nz/artprints/lake-tekapo-church-of-the-good-shepherd?tag=lake as a duplicate of http://creativedigital.co.nz/artprints/lake-tekapo-church-of-the-good-shepherd even though there is a canonical tag in head as follows I'm not quite sure what I am doing wrong. Any advice would really be appreciated 🙂 Mike

  • Question:  Is the " http:// " included in the character count when figuring the length of a URL? (I am asking this as a separate question because the other URL question is shown as answered)

  • I don't know why, but since a week ago I'm not receiving moz point for my activity on moz forum. Example
    Today I posted 3 answer in the Question section but in my moz profile does not show the 3 moz point that normally I receive for that. I week ago suddenly I received 20 moz point, why I dont have any idea, maybe someone mark one of my asnwer as good answer. So my point is where I cant found the exact tracking record of my activity

  • Hi There, We've got two crawl issues for pages that don't exist (and never existed). The links are strange and judging by the code in them, appear to be coming from our own CMS. How can we see which pages the links are on in Moz? Cheers Ben

  • Hi there, the social visits in the dashboard look like are collected just from facebook social network. In fact if I check the social report in Google Analytics the number of facebook referrals sessions is the same of the number of Social visits from MOZ Dashboard. What's the reason why? How can I resolve this problem including visits from Linkedin, Pinterest and other social network in the Social visits in Moz Dashboard? Thank you

  • Hello I am tearing my hair out! I re-launched my site www.systemyzed.com over a month ago and have been working hard on getting good backlinks. I even got one from a daily UK newspaper. But my DA is not budging from 1. Is there something fundamental wrong with my site? I have checked the loads speed and its better than average. I have taken off all duplicate content in the re-launch. The mobile optimisation is good. Everything looks good in the Google Search Console (ie. there are no red flags or warnings) my site is fully https. The only that raises our eyebrows is that there are 179,000 links coming to our site from a client site - however we have checked these are no-follow and it appears to be so. I was also prepared to wait a while to see a change in the DA ranking for my new site (because we only relaunched a month) ago however now I am particularly concerned about it as I launched a new client site last night (I am a web designer) and that site has had NO SEO work done on it all, has hardly any words, is slow to load and it definitely does not have any backlinks BUT this site appears to have a DA of 9 already. This does not make any sense to me at all. I am very concerned and confused. Please help. I just want to know that the work I am doing is the right work and that i am not fundamentally undermining myself in some way that I am unaware of. Thank you in advance for your help. Yours, 
    Lucy

  • Hey community, This is our first topic on Moz, great to see the community growing and growing! We do have a question and can't figure out the reason(s). We hope you can help us. We are watching the "compare link metrics" for the domain https://www.voetbalwedden.net and see strange details. See our report on: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/comparisons?site=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.voetbalwedden.net Page Specific Metrics
    Internal Equity-Passing Links = 0
    Total Internal Links = 0 Subdomain Metrics: Internal Equity-Passing Links = 0
    Total Internal Links = 0 We do have more than 30K pages indexed by Google, do have a great site structure and a well structured internal linking. We think these stats are not correct. Are we right? And what could we do to improve it? uUyQT

  • Hi, I've just had my initial report from Moz and it says my pages are missing rel="canonical". I'm using the Yoast SEO plugin on my WordPress site which adds these automatically. I have also checked the source code for my pages and can see rel="canonical". What has gone wrong please?

  • Hi, my site has a green padlock and no SSL errors but Moz are reporting an 804 error. I use CloudFlare with fairly complex settings. I've read this thread but it's quite old and I don't understand which parts of it are still valid. I'd love to know whether this can be sorted before I spend hours setting up Moz's features as if they can't crawl my site then I would obviously need to cancel my subscription. Thanks

  • I was just wondering if MOZ PRO is the tool that SEO agencies and specialists are using to SEO my website? Is it possible for a new guy in the SEO to optimize his web site by himself using MOZ PRO and rank on the top? What is the best material to learn from outside the MOZ.com sources? Thank you! Kaloyan

  • Question on the exact definition / relationship between the summary of your rankings in the top 50 and the number of keywords that have moved up or down for your selected time frame. To me, I would expect the number of keywords that have moved up (or down) to be more than the sum of any upward movement for the top 50 For example, if it says we had (7) keywords that moved up to 1-3 and (5) moved up to 21-50 and then to the right of that it tells me we have had 5 keywords move up - what does that mean

  • Hi! I'm newbie and I really don't know which info is best to dial in with the keywords. Google tells me that my keyword is in high competition, but Moz suggests that I have very high opportunity and potential with low difficulty with the same keyword... Maybe I need some sleep and come back later :-). Many thanks!

  • Much of my reporting process relies on data directly from Search Console. Is MozPro integrated with Search Console? Can metrics such as impressions be built into custom reports? How can I aggregate organic avg time /session duration and bounce rates? I see major inbound link data discrepancies between Search Console and Moz - is this normal? Where can I find indexed page volumes?

  • Hi everyone, I've started tracking some speciifc keywords here, but I'd also like to get a global overview of all the different keywords we're currently ranking for and in what positions. When I used Ahrefs it offered this sort of report. Does Moz offer such a report?

  • Hi, I'm just setting up my first campaign and would like some advice please. I have a website and also within it a a number of pages in a sub folder. These are technically a different business to the main website and I would like to track them separately in Moz so they can have their own keyword lists and competitors etc. How do I do this? Do I set up two separate campaigns www.site.com
    www.site.com/subfolder I understand the first one might still report on the subfolder but I guess I could just ignore this. Thanks

  • I am new to using the Mozbar and maybe I have missed a setting someplace, but in search results under the individual results only the page links are showing - no referring domains, no links or referring domains for the site. Here is what I am getting: https://www.dropbox.com/s/67rl5itsiou4hnq/1b.png?dl=0 Here is what I would like to see (with all 4 results showing)  https://www.dropbox.com/s/ce71c9og48i7yk0/1b2.png?dl=0 Is there a setting I might have missed?  I have reinstalled the extension, oh...about ...5 times or so hoping that would solve the problem, but still getting the same results. Any suggestions or how to get all 4 results to display? Thank you for your help or suggestions

  • Hi,For some reason, on my tracked keywords summary page, the URL shown to the right of each keyword appears to default to my homepage and not the page I want that keyword to rank on. How do I resolve this? I've tried looking around but can't see how to change it so that the correct URL is shown against the correct keyword. Many thanks! Bob

  • I've just added a keyword and URL in Page Optimization. It gave me a 98 score - all good so far. But then when it added this page to the list of earlier pages it shows the keyword and URL but the title is [No Title] - and without a title I can't select it to edit it. Is this familiar to anyone?

  • Hi Moz community!I've just joined and am getting to grips with SEO basics. Right now, I'm looking at the Competitive Link Metrics in Moz Pro, and I'm curious about the following- Of the three competitors that we're following, I'm trying to figure out some differences between two of them - we'll call them A and B. 'A' has 3.6k external followed and total links, with 5 total linking root domains. 'B' (a more prestigious and established company with a much higher DA) has 2.2k total external links, with 180 root domains. So my question is, how can A have nearly 1,000 more links, but only from 5 domains? Any feedback much appreciated! Thanks!

  • I dived into the Search Visibility metric and what it actually says. In short, I believe it to be an aggregated score for all keywords targeted. However, our list of targeted keywords also include specific 'branded' keywords (and e.g. names of company leaders), which (presumably) aren't targeted by our competition. So what does the comparison with our competitors (i.e. Search Visbility x Competition graph) actually tell us? Isn't it giving a skewed impression? (Or are keywords labeled as 'branded' not taken into consideration in the Search Visibility metric?)

  • Hi Everyone, I'm absolutely dumbfounded about this 901 issue (showing pages with our url back to back). Our site is hosted on Big Commerce: https://www.santabarbarachocolate.com When I look for these pages being crawled I don't find them. I've called BC for help and I can't seem to find a solution or where to turn as to how to fix the issue at hand or even if it matters.  Please see below what the Moz crawl shows. Could this be related to Yotpo or some app we have running? Or does this even matter and does it have any influence on rank? Do you have recommendations or ideas? Thanks so much.

  • I wanted to track different pages on my website with Moz in terms of keyword positions.  Do I have to set up a new campaign for each url on my website that I want to track? I have to test campaigns set up in the free trial at present and it seems easy to track url movements when it is set up in its own page.
