    I installed the Moz toolbar and I don't understand it and it covers up important parts of websites and makes them inaccessible. I want to get it off my computer. I installed it in chrome. How do I get it off?

      Hi Bonnie, Linda and Justin are absolutely right. You can follow their instructions to uninstall the toolbar permanently.

      If, however, you'd like to be able to temporarily disable it, you can toggle it on and off using a keyboard shortcut: Cmd + Option + Control + M on OSX, Shift + Ctrl + Alt + M on Windows. You can also toggle it on and off by clicking on it's bookmark icon.

      For a good overview of what you can do with the Moz Toolbar, as well as how to configure it to meet your needs, check out the video at http://moz.com/help/guides/research-tools/mozbar. Best of luck!

        I actually ended up installing it on my home computer as well as my work computer--I find that I have come to rely on it as a quick-and-dirty gauge of the quality of the website I am visiting...

          LindaLV is right. Here are some screenshots to help you out.

          1. Expand the hamburger menu. Then navigate to Tools > Extensions (#1 attachment)

          2. Either disable or delete the Moz toolbar. (#2 attachment)

          That said, I recommend leaving it installed. I don't use it terribly often, but then there are those times that it comes in really helpful. So for most of my browsing, I leave it disabled. If you find it's covering up content while you're browsing, you can just click the toolbar icon to disable it and make it inactive. That's how I browse most of the time. (#3 attachment)

            In your chrome browser, there is a little "hamburger menu" on the top right (three horizontal lines, stacked).

            Click that, go to tools > extensions and you should be able to delete it there.

            ps- What do you find that it covers up?

              Moz not updating the spam score metrics

              Hi Experts, I have done everything to come over the following metrics flagged as spam on my website by Moz, few months ago. But, Moz has not updated the spam score yet. ✓Low MozTrust or MozRank Score - improved from 2 to 4.5
              ✓Large Site with Few Links - My website have more than 6K backlinks
              ✓Small Proportion of Branded Links - My website have a good amount of branded backlinks
              ✓Thin Content - Every webpage on website has more than 500 words content
              ✓External Links in Navigation - There is no external link in navigation other than social media links
              ✓No Contact Info - The proper address has alreay been placed on website footer
              ✓Low Number of Pages Found - I am wondering if there are any standard score or number of links to reach to remove these flag?
              Also, please suggest some ways that will help me improve moz spam score at faster rate. Thanks for your help in advance!"

              Soft hyphen in H1 ­ - SEO Grading Problems

              I just figured out that the MOZ On-Page-Grader can’t render soft hyphen in H1. As an example, if I have an H1 word like “some­time” the On Page Grader don’t find it as a keyword “sometime” in the H1. So my question, is it just a limitation on MOZ or a rule for On Page SEO to avoid soft hyphens in H1? Siggi

              Moz Bar Not Showing DA?

              Hello all, This could be something to do with our site or the Moz bar on Chrome, I just need to know which it is so if it is our website we can look into it further. On certain sections of our website the Moz bar doesn't display any Domain Authority, not even zero, the bar just isn't present. These types of pages are php which pull in data through a feed daily. Speaking to an SEO expert they said it could be where the page is being updated so frequently, or it could be something more sinister and technically not quite right. Does anyone have any ideas? Is the Moz bar just not working for these types os pages or is it more likely something to do with my site? Ironically it's these pages which I'm having trouble with that are not showing in SERPs! Thanks! 3Foorka

Now I I was very surprised to find this link in moz crawl error as second top page on our site in current index??? Can somebody explain how is this possible?? The most ridiculous thing is that when I click on that link it realy opens our site! How is that possible, what is it?
