404 Crawl Diagnostics Report MOZ
-
Hi,
I keep getting 404's appear in the Crawl Diagnostic error warnings.
How do I find out which pages are linking to these 404 pages? How is MOZ finding them?
thanks

Hey Ben!
Thanks for the question. The best way to do this is to head over to your Crawl Diagnostics page and then exporting the csv. From there, you can sort the 404 column to group them and scroll over to the referrer URL column (all the way at the end). That'll give you the path Roger took to get to the 4XX/5XX error.
This will be made a bit easier in Analytics because we'll list the referrer URL in the UI for these situations, but for now, the csv is your best bet. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
Best,
Sam

Hi Ben,
When I am fixing 404s, I like to use Screaming Frog (paid if over 500 pages) or Link Sleuth (free), because they do a real-time scan of your site and will find 404 pages and all internal links pointing to those pages.
And since it is real-time, you can do an immediate scan to make sure you fixed your problems (where the Moz scanner takes a week to rescan your site).
Hope this helps,
Mike

Try using Open Site Explorer. It should list all the links that Moz knows of that are pointing to your 404'd pages.

Is Moz Bot Broken?
Moz Bot says I have millions of issues with duplicate content. One item says that it has over 50 duplicates! I downloaded the CSV it gave me to look into it. All of my products have many different ways to get them, so I've set up rel=canonicals for the master one. So, I'd assume Mozbot would ignore those. But the interesting thing I've found is that of these 50 duplicates, some of them (on the same CSV I downloaded) are completely different products, with completely different URL's. and completely different titles and completely different meta descriptions and completely different product descriptions. So, 3 questions: Is Moz bot broken? Does it not recognize canonicals? Why is it seeing 3 very different products as exactly the same product? I'm so confused and since I work for a national company, the only way I can give actual examples is through a private message session. I guess I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this issue? Because I'm completely baffled.

Issues adding keywords to MOZ analytics
Hi All 🙂 I've started a couple of campaigns in MOZ Analytics, one accepts keywords the other looks like it does but doesn't actually add them.. I'm pasting a group of keywords, about 30, all separated with comma's. Doing exactly the same to one account that congratulated me straight away and added them to the list below, yay! The other shows the spinning wheel for a few seconds and does nothing further, I've waited a good 24 hours and they keywords have not appeared. Any help appreciated! Thanks 🙂

Can the Moz tool identify variations of a Chinese language branded keyword?
We've recently started a trial of the Moz Pro service and are tracking a selection of keywords. Our primary band / product name is 功夫英语(Kungfu English), so we've set a rule that any keywords containing those four Chinese characters (功夫英语) should be marked as a branded keyword. However, in the "Non-Paid Keywords Sending Search Visits" section of our traffic report, we see a few variations on our brand name that are not being marked as branded keywords. (See attached Images). Based on our rules, shouldn't these variations also be marked as branded keywords without our needing to manually add them as such? Or have I misunderstood the intent of this rule? For the English text, the brand rule about words containing "kungfuenglish" seems to have resulted in all of "www.kungfuenglish.com", "http://www.kungfuenglish.com", and kungfuenglish being labelled as branded keywords. However, I'm not seeing the same sort of result with variations on the Chinese keyword, 功夫英语. KedTi1D.png z5bcUIt.png
