SEO Moz analysing US site when I want it to analyse UK site
-
Hi there, I am trying to analyse the UK version of my website. However as the website is set to redirect people to the most relevant site and SEO Moz is based in the US, it is redirecting all the pages your crawling and therefore analysing US pages. So I am trying to look at the UK homepage but all the factors relate to the US site... Is there a way around this?? Thanks

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately at this time we do not have a way to have Roger crawl at a specific IP, since Roger uses a dynamic set of IP to crawl sites to get the most unbiased results. Creating a sub folder campaign at this moment is the only way to get an effective crawl for that site, unfortunately from this point on this is a web development question, which is something better left to the experts in our forum. I left this post as an on-going discussion to other to chime in, you could also use your private question to ask our associates
In the mean time, I would also recommend you go to our feature request forum to request this feature, once you finish it, others can vote this feature which lets our development team plan their next feature inclusion You can go there by using this link: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/categories/6327-known-issues-feature-requests
Hope that helps!

Hi Peter,
The issue is that if I enter the subfolder www.mytights.com/gb it then auo redirects users in the states to the US - I have tried using teh tag we use to force it to go to the store we want (?store_switcher=off) and this hasnt worked either...
It says "The URL mytights.com/gb redirects to a page that is not within the specified subfolder or subdomain (mytights.com/us)...."
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out to us! I do see what you are talking about, looks like your site is redirecting user agents to the site that is based on the the area their connection originated from. Unfortunately due to the over-inclusive nature of Roger, our crawler will not be able to accurately crawl your site if it tries to go to www.mytights.com.
The only way I could think was to set up a subfolder campaign where you let roger know to go to a specific subfolder to crawl the information/page. For example, take samsung's product global site www.samsung.com, it does a similar redirect to the country's page based on region, however you can still go to another countries' page by typing in the URL, i.e. www.samsung.com/cl for Samsung Chile's page. From that point if I want that countries' crawl information, I would simply setup a subfolder campaign to look for www.samsung.com/cl. I am wondering do you have something like that set up for your site such as www.mytights.com/uk (I am finding a 404) which I am assuming when I go to www.mytights.co.uk it will redirect me back to the US site.
Sorry for the long answer, but this comes down to a design question, since our product was designed to be over-inclusive with such a diverse client base (Roger doesn't shop....yet), so to get the most unbiased information for pages, it assumes multiple IPs to do its work which does present some problems for sites such as these with regional redirects. That design question is where my expertise comes to an end and I leave that to your capable hands, it would have to involve something on the subfolder level that can direct Roger to go to your UK page. ':)
Hope that helps!

Unsolved Does Moz Pro include Moz Local
My client has bought about six Moz Local accounts and are pleased with results. We have not yet used your Moz Pro program. The client might be interested in switching to the Moz Pro if those Moz Local accounts can be included into it. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks!

Open Site Explorer Link Metrics
I'm new to SEOMOZ. I have a Pro account and have been messing with the tools available. I ran a report in Open Site Explorer on one of my prospects. I also entered in several of their competitors to see how they rank. I would like to show the report to my prospective client but couldn't figure out how to download the information. Is that info available for download? Does anyone have a recommendation for showing prospects how they rank against their competitors. Any help appreciated.

Why Is SEOMOZ No Longer crawling All Of My Site
Hi all, I joined Seomoz over a month ago and Roger has been crawling all of the pages on the site approx 20 pages. Through out the last few weeks I have been working on the errors and notices identified by Roger. However, this week Roger has only re-crawled 1 page and is not picking up all the other pages. Has any one come across this problem. can you recommend any thing to resolve it? Many thanks in advance....
