Does Moz's crawlers use _escaped_fragment_ to inspect pages on a single-page application?
-
I just got started, but got a 902 error code on some pages, with a message saying there might be an outage on my site.
That's certainly not the case, so I'm wondering if the crawlers actually respect and use the escaped_fragment query parameter.
Thanks, David.

David, yes you can serve that as a solution as well and the User-agent string will be rogerbot. Sorry for any confusion this caused on your end. Once you get this up and running Roger will crawl like there is no tomorrow!

Hi James,
I can also serve the pre-rendered, static version of the website to Moz's bots. In order to detect the bots, I'll have to scan the User-Agent string.
Is it safe / enough to look for "rogerbot" in the User-Agent string?
Thanks, David.

Hi CareerDean,
At this time we are not supporting escaped_fragment for crawling websites and our crawler rogerbot will simply hit anchor tag links. I was able to take a look at your site and rogerbot will definitely have some trouble crawling anywhere here due to the lack of a hrefs.
What we have typically suggested in the past is using an HTML link at the bottom of the page leading to a basic site map so that Roger can navigate through. This will allow you to keep the same look and feel and just add one link to enable crawlers.
Please let me know if you need anything else and feel free to get us at help@moz.com with any further questions. Also feel free to ask any follow ups here as well.

Sitemaps and Indexed Pages
Hi guys, I created an XML sitemap and submitted it for my client last month. Now the developer of the site has also been messing around with a few things. I've noticed on my Moz site crawl that indexed pages have dropped significantly. Before I put my foot in it, I need to figure out if submitting the sitemap has caused this.. can a sitemap reduce the pages indexed? Thanks David. TInSM

MOZ Bar recognizes a link as No-Followed even when there's no evidence of nofollow nor external tag
Hi! I've seen that the Moz bar recognizes some links as NoFollowed, even when technically are followed.
API | | Gaston Riera
One example of that is this page: https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonTraining I've attached an image to clarify.
The link is just: <a class="https" <span="">href="https://rmotr.com"> there is no evidence of no following tag (such as external, nofollow, etc). Thanks!

Use of Moz with non-latin characters
Hey there, I am new member with Moz and i have to say that you are doing very good job. Three days ago, i have learnt that the On-page Grader and On-Page Optimization tools are useless for me because i am using no-latin keywords (greek characters) in order to optimize my SEO. From that moment i dont know how to properly use moz pro in order to optimize my SEO score (if this still can be done) so i would like to ask: Without these two powerfull tools how can i use the Moz Pro in order to optimize my (greek) website? Is this possible to do it with out these two tools? should i try to do it manually? if yes what i have to read/learn in order to do it manually? What other tools can i use in order to help me rank my website instead of On-Page grader and optimization? Thanks in advance

Can we get access to Moz's Rank Tracker via the API?
I'd like to be able to pull the results from Rank Tracker into my own application. Can I access it via an API? I don't see it anywhere in the Moz documentation, which is usually a clear answer. If not, how do you suggest to automate the inclusion of this data without, for example, being blacklisted?
