Crawl issues, how to see a referring link?
-
Hi There,
We've got two crawl issues for pages that don't exist (and never existed). The links are strange and judging by the code in them, appear to be coming from our own CMS.
How can we see which pages the links are on in Moz?
Cheers
Ben

Hey there Ben!
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
We'd love to help you to further investigate this - would you be able to pop a message over to help@moz.com, along with the name of the affected campaign and a few examples of the problems that you're seeing? This way we can take a look directly at your site and the CSV results and help you to isolate what's happening here:)
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks for the reply.
The table doesn't show the referring URL for me but your answer prompted me to click the table row and I can now see the referring URL on the next page.
However, I've copied the source for the offending page into a text editor and searched for the broken link but it doesn't exist on the referring page which is weird - right?
Cheers
Ben

The only crawl errors you require to know the referring URLs is the 4xx errors. I know for the 4xx errors the table shows the 404 page and the referring URL.

Crawling issue
Hi, I have to set up a campaign for a webshop. This webshop is a subdomain itself. First question: The two subfolders I need to track are /nl_BE and /fr_BE. What is the best way to handle this? Shall I set up two different campaigns for each subfolder, or shall I just make one campaign and add tags to keywords? **Second question: **it seems like Moz can't crawl enough pages. There are no disallows in the robots.txt. Should I try putting the following at the top into my robots.txt? User-agent: rogerbot

Disallow: Or is it because I want to crawl only a subdomain that it doesn't work? Thanks0 -
High total links, but very few root domains?
Hi Moz community!I've just joined and am getting to grips with SEO basics. Right now, I'm looking at the Competitive Link Metrics in Moz Pro, and I'm curious about the following- Of the three competitors that we're following, I'm trying to figure out some differences between two of them - we'll call them A and B. 'A' has 3.6k external followed and total links, with 5 total linking root domains. 'B' (a more prestigious and established company with a much higher DA) has 2.2k total external links, with 180 root domains. So my question is, how can A have nearly 1,000 more links, but only from 5 domains? Any feedback much appreciated! Thanks!

My question is, when you translate your website to another language, does moz crawl both or do i have to add another campaign to moz so that they can crawl it seperately?
Hello, i recently translated my website to spanish, keywords,meta tags, content etc. All of our URL for the translated pages start "ep", which symbolizes espanol. My question is, does moz crawl those pages along with my english pages? or do i have add another campaign for moz to crawl my spanish pages seperately?
