Why still the moz index showing "Next Update on August 26, 2013"?
-
I have been waiting to see the updated authority metrics from Opensiteexplorer.org.
But still it is showing old data. and showing "next index update: August 26, 2013" as the date is 27th August today.
Is there any delay in update?
-
And we've updated! Thanks again for your patience everyone.

Last time this happened, we went about 2 months without an update. I remember because I had been recommending SEOMoz memberships to a lot of my clients who wanted more in-depth info about their links & competitors that they could take with them when they no longer need me. I had some 'splaining to do when some of them discovered one of the key features they were paying for wasn't there. When MozScape did finally update, it was indeed much better than before. So I am very curious to see if this update with that "new section of the internet that we never crawled before" closes the gap between some of the other link monitors (that do have way too many of the garbage links in their indexes).

It looks like we will be releasing the index this afternoon. We'll keep you posted!
-
Any update yet?
-
We apologize for the delay. We encountered some unexpected difficulties, but we hope to be able to release this index in the next day. We will know more in the next 3-4 hours, and I will update this post as I have more information.

The last Mozscape index update was 7/11/2013. In August, they put this up:
"Dreadfully sorry, but we've decided to not release our most recent Mozscape Index, since it was not up to our quality standards which we measure with index correlations.
Why did this happen?
Our scheduling algorithm always tries to add new URLs to the schedule to make sure we expand our coverage over time. Unfortunately it seems to have hit a new section of the internet that we never crawled before. This resulted in a huge set of new URLs that seem to be of low quality, and the this has skewed the rankings slightly (a little more than we are comfortable with). Large domains seemed to be most impacted and showed a marked decrease in external links.
What do we plan to do now?
We are attacking this from multiple angles:
- We are removing the new "section" and emphasizing the crawl of high-quality domains.
- We've added additional monitoring to alert the BigData team when the schedule becomes imbalanced and does not display its normal characteristics.
- We moved a quality check to earlier in the index generation cycle so we can discover problems quicker.
- Finally, we created a new schedule of high quality and are re-crawling.
When can you anticipate the next index release?
August 26, 2013"

However the Just-Discovered Links beta is working fine. On the other hand, The G+, FB Sharing counts been increased rather than authority metrics.
-
Also wondering this myself. Has there even been an update in awhile? My site that has been up since April is still showing 3 backlinks while we have a lot more than that..

Links and images in custom css are not recognised by Moz Toolbar or Yoast plugin
Hi, I am building a website in Wordpress and when checking the pages through Moz toolbar or Yoast plugin, I notice that these don't recognise the internal links in custom CSS and the images neither. Here some code to clarify how it is built: [vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][ultimate_heading main_heading="Veldrijden" alignment="left" main_heading_margin="margin-bottom:20px;"][/ultimate_heading][vc_single_image image="6497" img_size="full" onclick="custom_link" link="http://k488239.hosting.kinamo.be/activiteiten/veldrijden/"][vc_btn title="Meer info" color="mulled-wine" align="left" link="url:http%3A%2F%2Fk488239.hosting.kinamo.be%2Factiviteiten%2Fveldrijden%2F|||"][/vc_column] The links are embedded in images and in 'More info' buttons. Also the internal links in the main website navigation are not recognised, but the normal a href links are recognised. For the images it is a little different: the alt text from the images gets recognised by Moz, but Yoast says there are no images on the page. The only thing I can think of that there is no 'a href' in the links and for the images that it has something to do with the page builder. Can this effect my SEO results? Thanks.

Annoying Popup saying "authentication required"! How do I resolve this?
I utilise the Moz bar quite rigourously as a content marketer but i'm having an annoying popup every second. Moz kept bugging me with a popup bar saying: "authentication required" asking me to input my username & password. Though filling it in correctly, it keeps bugging me every second. Sometimes even when I have disabled the toolbar it keeps poping up! How to resolve this?

Canonical in Moz crawl report
I'm wondering if the moz bot is seeing my rel="canonical" on my pages. There are 2 notices that are bothering me: Overly Dynamic URL Rel Canonical Overly Dynamic URL - This notice is being generated by urls with query strings. On the main page I have the rel="canonical" tag in the header. So every page with the query string has the canonical tag that points to the page that should be indexed. So my question...Why the notice? Isn't this being handled properly with the canonical tag? I know I can use my robots.txt or the tool in Google search console but is it really necessary when I have the canonical on every page? Here is one of the links that has the "Overly Dynamic URL" notice, as you can see the the canonical in the header points to the page without the query string: https://www.vistex.com/services/training/traditional-classroom/registration-form/?values=true&course-title=DMP101 – Data Maintenance Pricing – Business Processes&date=March 14, 2016 Rel Canonical - Every page in my report has this notice "Using rel=canonical suggests to search engines which URL should be seen as canonical". I'm using the rel="canonical" tag on all of my pages by default. Is the report suggesting that I don't do this? Or is it suggesting that I should? Again...why the notice?

How is the Moz keyword limit for each plan determined?
I'm sure it's explained somewhere in here but I haven't found it yet so hoping someone can help: I'm on the Pro Basic plan, which allows me 300 keywords. How is the 300 keywords counted? For example, if I've uploaded 100 keywords in the Keyword Difficulty tool, and am also Rank Tracking an additional 75 keywords for a client, is that 75 kw's, 100 kw's, or 175 kw's? Put another way, if I hypothetically do rank tracking for 300 keywords, does that mean I'm not able to enter additional keywords in the Keyword Difficulty tool without deleting some of the kw's from existing accounts? Thanks for the help!

Moz Crawl Report showing non-existent Duplicate Errors since new reporting layout
Hi Moz Community, Since Moz changed to the new style of Crawl report, we've seen a jump in duplicate errors for our site. These duplicate errors do not exist and were not present on the Crawl reports before the report change and also we have not made any changes to the flagged pages on our site since then either. When you download the report data in csv it appears that the Moz report is mixing up data for two or more pages on the site. e.g.in csv for 'Page1' data, it will show the meta description for 'Page2' and 'Page2' shows that for 'Page1', so this then gets flagged as duplicate, however looking at the actual Meta description assigned onsite, both Page 1 and Page 2 are completely unique. Has anyone else experienced this and Moz Team - are you looking into this? Thanks, V

Crawl Diagnostics: Exlude known errors and others that have been detected by mistake? New moz analytics feature?
I'm curious if the new moz analytics will have the feature (filter) to exclude known errors from the crwal diagnostics. For example, the attached screenshot shows the URL as 404 Error, but it works fine: http://en.steag.com.br/references/owners-engineering-services-gas-treatment-ogx.php To maintain a better overview which errors can't be solved (so I just would like to mark them as "don't take this URL into account...") I will not try to fix them again next time. On the other hand I have hundreds of errors generated by forums or by the cms that I can not resolve on my own. Also these kind of crawl errors I would like to filter away and categorize like "errors to see later with a specialist". Will this come with the new moz analytics? Anyway is there a list that shows which new features will still be implemented? knPGBZA.png?1
