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!

SEO Moz Bug? Universal Placements
Had a quick look around and can't find anything relating to this. We are doing really well with our universal placements, google places etc. SEOMoz used to recognise them, but now I have no universal placements according to SEOMoz, though they are clearly all still doing well. But in the program, or problem with the data? Thanks Marc

Sudden decrease in Moz Page rank
Hello, We have a serious issue with 404s and recently saw our Moz Page rank fall from 53 to 47. 1. OSE Inbound links no longer shows any of our Linked In posts, did Linked In stop passing juice? 2. Does SEO Moz reduce your ranking when there's a sudden increase in 404s? 2a. WP Yoast SEO - I accidentally checked the box on this plugin to "Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL" which basically caused all of our blog post categories and Datafeedr categories to disappear. Didn't realize till too much time had passed that I accidentally clicked that box. Datafeedr is a plugin for our estore that parses the data feeds from affiliate vendors and allows you to create a saved search that auto updates old products every 3 days. I had a no index/follow parameter on the category items, but seeing the # of 404s continue to increase, I temporarily removed this parm last week to see if it reduces this now static number of 404s. Google Webmaster tools started showing a ton of soft 404s that kept increasing, while SEO Moz didn't show any of those 404s. I didn't pay much attention to GWT since Google kept saying it won't affect our rankings, and nothing was showing up on SEO Moz. Last week a fraction of those 404s showed up and I am not sure if that's what lowered our Moz rank or what looks like a possible delinking from Linked In and a higher ranking complimentary website directly related to our field itsallaboutyoga. Looking at the Moz graph of "Total Linking Root Domains Over Time" all of our competitors took a similar % hit since between June and the end of July, so I am thinking its more wide based than fat fingered mistake. I fixed # 2, (have to still figure out what to do with most of those 404s, thinking of submitting a request to Google vs 1,000s of 301s) so in doing my review of this sequence of events and using it as a learning experience, where would I assign max destructive value as a percentage? A. Ignoring GWT soft 404s in favor of SEO Moz campaign reports B. No follow from Linked In and related industry site C. Datafeedr, thousands of indexed products through Datafeedr that are no longer available mostly due to WP Yoast SEO fat finger error. I did have the D. WP Yoast SEO, "Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL" E. Global Google algo change Cheers, Michael

Anchor Text Report in Open Site Explorer
When downloading an anchor text report in OSE, there are very often a bunch or anchor texts at the end of the report that have 0 next to them (i.e. anchor texts that come from 0 domains and from 0 links - if you want a URL to run as an example try www.bbc.co.uk/sport/ and paginate your way to page 7) Surely it is not possible for an anchor text to be found on zero domains/links - so how should these zeros be interpreted? There are numerous different anchor texts showing these zero's. Thanks in advance for any responses.

Tracking a british (.co.uk) domain
I tried to track a british domain and it looks like SEOMOZ interprets it as a subdomain as it has a XX.co.uk address. When I list it as a subdomain, it says that the domain is not responding (i guess coz its pining co.uk. What do I do to create a profile?

Can SEOMOZ do Local SEO ?
Most of our clients are local but we can not get local or regional (for example VA State or Washington DC) SERP results within SEOMOZ. it would be nice to create custom search profiles based on region (State or County) and track SERP within SEOMOZ. Ranking reports and even keyword difficulty analysis etc. within SEOMOZ are misleading for local web sites. SEOMOZ default site setup assumes every business doing SEO serves all over the US. I think it will be very beneficial if we have a choice to select State or County of local web sites during initial campaing set up at SEOMOZ. what do you think? do you know any work around of this problem? Thanks,
