I have a simple question. How many characters can a URL be before Moz flags it as too long?

Yes, the 75 characters length recommendation includes the http://

Hi,

75 characters.

“Choose shorter, human-readable URLs with descriptive keywords. We recommend keeping URLs under 75 characters. When possible, place content on the same subdomain to preserve authority. Optimal format: http://www.example.com/category-keyword/subcategory-keyword/primary-keyword.html.”

Kind regards

Hi,
I ran the crawler, and it found a few errors on the site. I have fixed these errors. I don't want to run the crawler against the entire site again. I just want to run the test against a single page. How can I do that?

'not a valid url' error in campaign set up

I get the error not a valid url when I'm trying to set up a campaign. I know it's a valid url. I have tried with www, non-www, http://, https:// when I do the https it lets me start, but then I get an error that https is forwarding to http and I need to use that. When I then put in the http, I get the original error. thanks in advance for your help.

MozBar URL Flag shows wrong country

My site has been up for about 6 months, and is visible on google (http://www.forforce.com.br/). Even when searching for my exact brand name "For Force Suplementos", using google brazil from Curitiba (the stores physical city) I show up on page 3, so I'm obviously doing something wrong. I just today started looking into SEO. And we haven't done anything to earn a penalty. (There's no links actually anywhere but our facebook page to us, which I know is a problem I need to work on). Anyway, I just signed up for a MozPro subscription, and installed the MozBar. Looking at the On-Page elements, next to the URL, I see a U.S. flag, and am wondering if that is part of my problem. The site is physically hosted in the U.S., so maybe that's where the flag comes from (Quality) hosting is too expensive in Brazil). Is this something I should be worried about? I also am using CloudFlare to help speed up the site, which I don't think has a Brazil POP. Thanks in advance for any advice! -Eric
