Why is blocking the SEOmoz crawler considered a red "error?"
-
-
I think because that section is labeled "crawl errors", an area blocked from crawling would be considered an error. I can see where you're coming from, but think of it as an error found with an attempt to crawl, not necessarily an error found in the site itself.

So,
about 4xx errors read this article: http://webdesign.about.com/cs/http/p/http4xx.htm
for Seomoz crawler blocked by robots.txt , on this file, you have added two links, and are blocking the search engine robots to crawl/index this pages on their database.
about this error issue read here please: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=156449
hope helps,
thanks

It seems to me that it should be a "Notice" not an "Error." I am intentionally blocking bots from a defunct directory. Keeping SEOmoz out of an old directory should not (does not?) affect SEO, you know?

Sorry about that. I uploaded it 3 times and finally noticed the "Update" button after uploading on the 3rd attempt.

Hi, i can´t see the attached image, upload it on any imageshack or something like that and share here the url, and i will try to help you.
If the semozbot find errors on crawling,this mean your site have failures on programming of your site, it fails the " search engine friendly " optimisation.
send me image, i will try to help you.

Duplicate Content errors - not going away with canonical
I am getting Duplicate Content Errors reported by Moz on search result pages due to parameters. I went through the document on resolving Duplicate Content errors and implemented the canonical solution to resolve it. The canonical in the header has been in place for a few weeks now and Moz is still showing the pages as Duplicate Content despite the canonical reference. Is this a Moz bug? http://mathematica-mpr.com/news/?facet={81C018ED-CEB9-477D-AFCC-1E6989A1D6CF}

Are the SEOMoz queries banned by Google?
Hi: In our company, we have notified that Google is banning our IP due to massive queries under the same IP. It is caused mainly by local softwares installed in PCs or some plugins of Firefox. We think that SEOmoz don´t causes this due to its tool uses its own IP and servers, not ours. We would like your opinion about this. Thank you,

Crawl Test taking 10+ days and still "In Progress" - normal or glitch?
I started a crawl test for my large site - WallStreetOasis.com - on June 20 and still have not received my results. It still says "Crawl in Progress" 10 days later. Does this seem odd or problematic, or is this normal?

Google analytics sync with SEOMOZ
Hey guys, I'm looking to sync our clients google analytic profiles to our clients campaigns in SEO MOZ. However all our clients google analytic profiles are on the one google account and not separate accounts. So I'm asking does SEO MOZ only allow you to grab the traffic data of one clients profile from a google account instead of multiple profiles from the same google account for different campaigns? If so has anybody got a workaround or any suggestions? If I haven't explained myself clearly let me know and I'll break it down further. Thanks again. Rob
