Performed a Moz Crawl Test - Says I have 107 External Links on Homepage??
-
Hello Mozzers!
Exactly at the title suggests, I performed a crawl test on one our sites and the report says we have 107 external links on the homepage and another 34 on one of our internal category pages.
On both of these pages I can only find 7 external links, anyone know why the crawl test is saying this?
And if Moz is finding these external links could google be doing the same and punishing our site for the high number of external links?
Any response appreciated!

Ha thanks for that.
I read all over about these external links and everything seemed to point the same way that they were links pointing out over.
A reword in the description of the crawl test categories I think is needed!
Thanks again - Problem solved!

Richard,
I ran a test and only found 6 or 7 external links like yourself. I think you may be getting slightly confused.
Are you talking about colum AO (External Links) in a moz crawler report download? If so this doesn't refer to external links pointing off your page. It refers to external links pointing into that page.
I think theres an older post somewhere on here about it.

Yup found it! Staff confirm my beliefs.
Hope that helps!

Any Moz staff out there with Magento experience?
Would be great to hook up with Moz staff that are Magento-integration savvy. Or maybe qualified users . . . Need to go through Magento Admin in order to correct errors found in Site Crawl. Thanks, Steve

Lack of UK Keyword Volume Data In Moz
Is it just me or is there a considerable lack of keyword Volume data for UK Google search terms on Moz? I have 53 keywords and not a single one has any keyword volume data - these are not obscure terms and include the following as examples... leather satchel, leather laptop bag, satchels, leather bag, leather backpack, leather school satchel. Without this information aren't a lot of the services offered by Moz rather academic as it is impossible to know which terms are really worth targeting. What is the solution? I could use US data and hope it is similar but this seems close to a deal breaker for UK subscribers.

Has using Moz got me banned from Google search?
Dear fellow Mozzers, For the last couple of weeks when ever I do a google search I have to enter a captcha code. Now I hardly use google anymore which is annoying ! Then I went onto support.google.com and saw this: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/86640?hl=en&ref_topic=3378866 "Automated traffic includes: Sending searches from a robot, computer program, automated service, or search scraper Using software that sends searches to Google to see how a website or webpage ranks on Google" Is Moz alone doing this? Thanks in advance for your response. Ash

Problem Downloading Crawl Error Report PDF's
I am trying to download the PDF reports for the various 'crawl errors' - now some of them are quite large but would that justify why I am unable to download - the error is a straightforward one, see attached. Any ideas? Andy aDlViIN

Connect to Google Analytics problem (Moz Analytics)
Hello - I recently received the Beta invite to Moz Analytics (very excited). I set up the campaign for our primary site and entered our Google Analytics profile - however, Moz does not seem to accept the profile when I click the "Save" button. All of our profiles are listed w/in the drop-down menu, but after selecting the profile we wish to link/connect to - nothing happens. So we're not receiving any stats w/in Moz from our GA acct. Please help. I'm really anxious to begin delving into Moz Analytics! Thanks
