Performed a Moz Crawl Test - Says I have 107 External Links on Homepage??
-
Hello Mozzers!
Exactly at the title suggests, I performed a crawl test on one our sites and the report says we have 107 external links on the homepage and another 34 on one of our internal category pages.
On both of these pages I can only find 7 external links, anyone know why the crawl test is saying this?
And if Moz is finding these external links could google be doing the same and punishing our site for the high number of external links?
Any response appreciated!

Ha thanks for that.
I read all over about these external links and everything seemed to point the same way that they were links pointing out over.
A reword in the description of the crawl test categories I think is needed!
Thanks again - Problem solved!

Richard,
I ran a test and only found 6 or 7 external links like yourself. I think you may be getting slightly confused.
Are you talking about colum AO (External Links) in a moz crawler report download? If so this doesn't refer to external links pointing off your page. It refers to external links pointing into that page.
I think theres an older post somewhere on here about it.

Yup found it! Staff confirm my beliefs.
Hope that helps!

Duplicate Content & Title Tag Group Fields on MoZ Report
Hello, On my SEO MOZ exported Site Crawl CSV report, I have columns for Duplicate Content Group & for Duplicate Title Tag Group. The values in the columns are numerical - 20, 5 , 15, etc. Can anyone explain to me what these values represent and how I can fix the issues I presume they represent? Thank you,

Site crawl only shows homepage
Hi everyone, A client of us has a quite new website with a lot of URLs. (Google Search Console indicates around 5300.) However, when I execute a site crawl with screaming frog, or a crawl test in MOZ, it only shows me one URL, the homepage. Does somebody have an idea why the other pages of the website are not showing up? Thanks,

Community Discussion - What's Been Your Experience With Moz Content?
When the content developed Moz Content, I was excited as can be about having another tool in the content marketing and content strategy repertoire. I knew it could and would help marketers better identify the content they should be creating and make it easier for them to move the needle for their brands. Since it's been available, I've had fun using Moz Content, seeing it as a great vehicle for flattening the learning curve for content ideation and creation. In a recent post, Here's How I'm Using Moz Content for Mining Local Link Opportunities, David Farkas described how brands can use Moz Content to better create localized content. I'd like to know how you're using it, or if you're using it: Have you tried Moz Content? And if not, what's stopping you? If you have used it, what are you really liking? What would you change? What, if any, additional features you'd like to see added? What tips can you share for helping others get the most out of the tool? Looking forward to reading the comments below.

Are MOZ Analytics dashboards available for other timeframes than the week just gone?
Hi Guys, We're wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to get moz analytics dashboard reports for timeframes other than just the last week? When we view the dashboard report, under the heading there is a 'timeframe' dropdown, however it only ever shows us the previous week as an option. Would be great if anyone knows if this is available now / soon? Cheers, Camille@Trilogy
