After fixing Crawl Errors, how long does it take to for Moz or Google to re-crawl a website?
-
Last night I found out through Moz that my robots.txt file was blocking any crawling of my website. I fixed the issue. Now do I just sit and wait?

Moz will crawl the site every week so you'll need to wait a few days for that to happen.
In the meantime you could try using the Moz Crawl tool to do a manual crawl. Depending on the size of your site this can take a few days so you might find it's just worth waiting for the weekly crawl. You can find the crawl tool here:

If you site isn't included in Google's index because it was inaccessible due to the robots,txt, then you'll want to go into Google Webmaster Tools and use the Crawl -> Fetch as Googlebot to kickstart Google crawling/indexing your site.

Standard Syntax in robots.txt doesn't prevent Moz bot from crawling
A client is getting many false positive site crawl errors for things like duplicate titles and duplicate content on pages that include /tag/ in the URL.

Disallow: /page/ For some reason this appears not to work, as the site crawl errors continue to list pages like this. Does anyone understand why that would be and what we need to do to properly disallow crawling these pages?0 -

Google+ Not Working in my Profile
I would like to add my Google+ and Facebook addresses in my profile but when I do it says my vanity names are not correct. I am copying and pasting directly from the Google+ page and Facebook page so I do not know what to do. When I do try to just add the numbers for my Google+ page that is not working either. Thanks - Travis

Does Moz Analytics need Google Analytics installed?
I have a few websites on my Moz Analytics account but only have data for one of them. All my other accounts keepy saying come back in 24hrs for more data, although there is no data available. Do I need to connect each account with Google Analytics before Moz populates its own analytics?
