It would be nice if there was a setting to turn off the Mozbar for search results. I love using it for diagnosing web pages, but when it tries to load and analyze 100 results on a SERP, it can be rather slow/annoying.

I have been using my Moz bar for years now and have installed it on all my computers. Shame I can't get it on my iPhone! I find it great for grading websites on the fly and deciding whether they are good to do business with or not. I also use it to monitor my own website and make tweaks here and there as I go along. It is also really useful to check the effects of changes I make to content to page loading speed and other metrics.

I get a redirect chain issue, but is it because of how I entered the campaign?
I get a redirect chain issue, but I see that I enter the website in Moz as http://www.website.com Google and everywhere else have it as https://www.website.com so I would imaging Google would never run into this issue, only the Moz bot does because of how it's entered. However, I can't change the campaign, so do I just ignore it? Or is there still an actual problem that needs to be addressed?

MozBot Finding Duplicate Pages That Aren't Duplicate
I've been reviewing the technical audits for my campaign in Moz, and noticed I had a number of duplicate content issues that I'm not really sure how to address. When I click on the links of what the duplicates are, they are all different links that have different content/images. Based on what I was seeing other's wrote in the forum, this could be because the code base is really the same between these pages, and many of these were using query parameters (I'm assuming that is why the code is almost exactly the same across these pages), so example: website.com/tags/KEYWORD1?type=KEYWORD2 is a duplicate of website.com/tags/KEYWORD3?type=KEYWORD4 I was reading that I can use that URL Parameters area in google search console, but my search console says that the googlebot isn't experiencing issues, so I wasn't sure if that was the right move. I can't do the canonicals because these pages all have different content on them, and I know duplicate content is a big SEO issue, so I really wasn't sure what my next steps should be. Thanks for the help!

Moz is finding phantom pages
I suddenly have 4xx errors in my crawl diagnostics because pages with “/%3C/div” added to the end of the URL that are linked from the normal page can't be found. I didn't create the pages, and they don't exist, but Moz thinks that they do. I went back through to see if any changes in WordPress, theme or plugins versions might be the cause, but this is the only site that I have this issue, so I don't think that is it. Does anyone have an idea what causes this?

Can't get on page grader to work properly.
Hi I'm trying to optimize my pages with the on page grader tool but it keeps returning an F grade when I know my page is very well optimized. It is like something is blocking the page crawl but I have double checked my robots.txt and can't think of anything else that is causing a problem. I am trying to do www.hydrohobby.co.uk with the keyword hydroponics for starters but it is the same problem with all other page urls on my site and keywords I try to input. This is a new site made with cscart 4.0. I've graded pages on previous versions of this software with no problems. Can anyone help? Rob

How to get relevant inbound backlinks?
I am a new member of the MOZ community. I have been working with a retail website, specifically the SEO part for about 2 months now. While I have addressed most if not all on-page factors, I still do not understand why Google does not rank the site higher for certain keywords. The website is: www.vrtack.com Keywords: exercise saddle, jockey saddle, freejump stirrups At this point, I have done some analysis looking at competitive data from MOZ. The only thing that stands out so far is the lack of inbound links , i.e. backlinks. Anyone here can help me understand how best (and ethically) obtain links from sites that have a high Domain Authority? I have been sending emails to the webmasters of the various websites, but no word yet. Any help is much appreciated.
