External links that don't exist
-
I did a crawl test and it shows that there are 2215 external links on my home page here:
https://www.playshakespeare.com
An "External Link" is defined here:
https://moz.com/researchtools/crawl-test
"Number of links on a page that point to a page that is not on the same domain as that page."
There are NOT 2215 external links on that page. There are only a handful at any given time. Why is the crawl test reporting thousands over that?

Hi,
I did a quick crawl of your site with Screaming Frog - your site seems to generate a lot of time outs & 5xx errors - could be that these are seen as external links by Moz. Response times are very bad for most of your pages.

Hello,
I understand there are many links on the page, but the crawl test reports External links, not internal.

I checked your site with a plugin - and it seems to have more than 1800 links - don't forget that the links in the navigation - even if not visible still count as link.

Label existing keywords
I have keywords that were added without a label that I would now like to associate with an existing label. I don't want to lose my tracking data by deleting them and re-adding. Is there a way to easily label them with an existing label?

Can't download mozbar
Fine, I'm an idiot. But when i get that Chrome apps page with mozbar on it, there's nothing clickable (that I can see) that actually downloads the thing. I've gotten it before, but now I can't find it. Is it hiding. Why doesn't it just sit in my dock? Any ideas. -W

Where's Rogerbot?
Could someone please tell me where Rogerbot lives now?! Unless I'm having distorted memories, I used to be able to crawl websites with Rogerbot (that are not set-up as Campaigns). Could someone please let me know where to find this now? p.s. I didn't really want to Q&A this, but after a while clicking around moz I'm now even questioning myself!
