MOZ Crawler
-
Hi,
how much time it will take MOZ crawler to take entire site? In 24 hours it crawled only 500 pages isn't it too slow? My website has almost 50k pages.

Hi there,
Sam from Moz's Help Team here! Could you pop a message over to help@moz.com about this so we can ensure everything is running smoothly for you?
Thank you!

Yeah it will take a while but it's necessarily slow. Moz's crawler has to share bandwidth with your real, human users. If they crawl your site too fast they could lag your site or accidentally DDoS you or something
Since it's a paid for service, I'm guessing that Moz err on the side of caution with Rogerbot and don't crawl insanely fast. I know that Rogerbot supports adding a crawl delay to make the crawling even slower:
https://moz.com/help/moz-procedures/crawlers/rogerbot
But I don't think there are any 'go faster' commands. Whilst I really like Moz's crawler I tend to find that the SEMRush one is faster for on-site stuff, though it does have URL crawling caps
To be honest, just get Screaming Frog and learn how to use that. Now that it has a database storage mode (instead of maniacally trying to store all the crawl data in the RAM) - it probably could crawl all 50K URLs. It could probably do it faster than Rogerbot, though you wouldn't wanna go nutty as you could easily DDoS yourself :')

Is this owned by moz?
We continue to get hundreds of spam links per month, and just found a link from here. I do not believe this is owned by moz. https://www.wapz.net/ Maybe I'm wrong? Thanks.

Are the metrics in Moz's SERP analysis relevant in my area?
Our site (https://loco2.com/) specialises in train journey planning at ticket booking, so we want to improve our ranking when people search Google for a specific journey they want to make (eg "London to Barcelona by train"). We have a set of about 400 Guide pages (eg London to Barcelona) which we want people to find when they search for those journeys. I've been trying to find out why some of those pages do better than others in search, and what our competitors are doing better. I was hoping that the SERP analysis and Keyword Reports tool could help me with this, so I ran analyses for a set of the keyword phrases we want to rank for, but I was surprised to find that most of the metrics in both the basic and full reports don't seem to relate to how high in the search result a page ranks. The screengrab attached shows the results for "Brussels to Paris train", which are fairly typical - many of the top-ranking pages have fairly low scores for most metrics, and the metrics don't seem to have much effect on how high they are in the search results. ( I assume N/A means the Page Authority is very low, or is it not calculated for some other reason?) I looked into this a bit further by downloading full reports for 11 keyword searches, and comparing the average scores for each metric with the rank, but I still couldn't see any effects of the metrics on the ranks. If anything, pages with higher Page Authority and Domain Authority were further down in search rankings. Does this mean that link metrics aren't very important for the kinds of pages we're looking at? This makes sense to me, because if I'm searching for tickets from London to Barcelona I want to find a very specific results page which is unlikely to have many links, but I keep reading that link metrics are one of the most important factors in SEO. Am I misunderstanding something? wJ9uUcG

Angular.js + Crawlers
I am working with a site that recently deployed Angular.js on the site. From an SEO standpoint its a little more tricky than we thought. We have deployed a couple updates to render pages for the bots but we not seeing changes in Moz weekly reports. When it comes to Angular.js, will the Moz bots read/access the site the same as the other major engines? I'm trying to figure out if our deployments are working or if there's something off in the Moz reports. Thanks.

Crawler has stopped crawling my website
Hi all, I recently changed my site www.ipbskinning.com to ipbskinning.com. For some reason my weekly scan states that no pages have been crawled. I tried making a new campaign with the sub-domain ipbskinning.com but still the starter crawl returns nothing? Am I doing something wrong? :S Thanks all!

SEO Moz ranking reports
I am confused. The SEO Moz ranking reports state that my site show show up in a specific position in SERP for a specific keyword yet when I google the keyword the ranking is different. Are these ranking reports merely indicative or are they supposed to be accurate?
