SEO Moz analysing US site when I want it to analyse UK site
-
Hi there, I am trying to analyse the UK version of my website. However as the website is set to redirect people to the most relevant site and SEO Moz is based in the US, it is redirecting all the pages your crawling and therefore analysing US pages. So I am trying to look at the UK homepage but all the factors relate to the US site... Is there a way around this?? Thanks

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately at this time we do not have a way to have Roger crawl at a specific IP, since Roger uses a dynamic set of IP to crawl sites to get the most unbiased results. Creating a sub folder campaign at this moment is the only way to get an effective crawl for that site, unfortunately from this point on this is a web development question, which is something better left to the experts in our forum. I left this post as an on-going discussion to other to chime in, you could also use your private question to ask our associates
In the mean time, I would also recommend you go to our feature request forum to request this feature, once you finish it, others can vote this feature which lets our development team plan their next feature inclusion

Hi Peter,
The issue is that if I enter the subfolder www.mytights.com/gb it then auo redirects users in the states to the US - I have tried using teh tag we use to force it to go to the store we want (?store_switcher=off) and this hasnt worked either...
It says "The URL mytights.com/gb redirects to a page that is not within the specified subfolder or subdomain (mytights.com/us)...."
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out to us! I do see what you are talking about, looks like your site is redirecting user agents to the site that is based on the the area their connection originated from. Unfortunately due to the over-inclusive nature of Roger, our crawler will not be able to accurately crawl your site if it tries to go to www.mytights.com.
The only way I could think was to set up a subfolder campaign where you let roger know to go to a specific subfolder to crawl the information/page. For example, take samsung's product global site www.samsung.com, it does a similar redirect to the country's page based on region, however you can still go to another countries' page by typing in the URL, i.e. www.samsung.com/cl for Samsung Chile's page. From that point if I want that countries' crawl information, I would simply setup a subfolder campaign to look for www.samsung.com/cl. I am wondering do you have something like that set up for your site such as www.mytights.com/uk (I am finding a 404) which I am assuming when I go to www.mytights.co.uk it will redirect me back to the US site.
Sorry for the long answer, but this comes down to a design question, since our product was designed to be over-inclusive with such a diverse client base (Roger doesn't shop....yet), so to get the most unbiased information for pages, it assumes multiple IPs to do its work which does present some problems for sites such as these with regional redirects.
That design question is where my expertise comes to an end and I leave that to your capable hands, it would have to involve something on the subfolder level that can direct Roger to go to your UK page. ':)
Hope that helps!

Ahrefs vs Moz
Hi! I noticed the Moz DA en the Ahrefs DA are very different. Where https://www.123opzeggen.nl/ has a DA of 10 at MOZ, the DA at Ahrefs is 26. Where does this big difference come from? Do you measure in different ways? I hope you can answer this question for me. Thank you in advance!

Get into Google : New Sites
I have a brand new website. It was created 10 days ago. How long would it take for it to show up in search results? I understand that since the site is new, there are no sites sending it backlinks. Also, i have optimized the page for my keyword "xyz" and it received an A grade. The site does not figure even in the top 50 results. Please help me out. It is a one page web application that needs to drive traffic to survive.

Keyword Stuffing - MOZ On-Page Grader
We sell a great number of insulation products, many of which are produced by individual manufacturers. On the page identified below the Keyword "Kingspan" is repeated numerous times as these items are included in our online shop. However, the many mentions of Kingspan are recorded in the HTML5 Source Code, rather than an external database. When I used the MOZ On-Page Grader, using the keywords "Kingspan" I was surprised to achieve an "A" Grade! I know I shouldn't be complaining, but I am wondering why the significant repetition of the word "Kingspan" has not negatively impacted my score? http://www.just-insulation.com/001-eshop/buy-kingspan-thermapitch-thermawall-thermafloor-insulation-boards.html

Big changes in site titles
So as I pour though some of the diagnostics data for over 100,000 pages of my site I see thousands of page title that "could" be changed. Could this cause some lost traffic for a while due to the big changes?

Potential site architecture problem.
We are experiencing a problem in which category pages do not appear to be passing Page Authority to subcategory pages. See the example below: Home page has PA of 47 http://www.minespress.com/ The next level category page down has a PA of 34 http://www.minespress.com/category/apparel The next sub category down has PA of 1, and shows no links at all in spite of the fact that we got to it from a category link http://www.minespress.com/category/golf-shirts The page in question is crawlable, is indexed and has nothing that we can see that would be prevent it from showing Page Authority and a link profile using your tools. Do we have a site architecture problem?
