Why does OSE show old data (Previous update results)?
-
Moz api started to show July 13 update results for my website. I checked it 2 days ago and saw all new established links and updated DA PA for July 27 update. But last 2 days both Moz Api and OSE main page show July 13 update results. Is there a maintenance or mismatching error between old and new databases?
-
It seems fixed now. I have just checked again and fortunately new update results appears.
-
We can certainly check on it if you provide the domain! I would recommend sending in the information to help@moz.com where you particular case can be discussed outside the public forum.
-
As i said before after 27 July update i checked several times and saw all new established links and increasing DA 5-6 points-up for my websites. But yesterday evening suddenly Moz Api and Ose started to show old data. Problem still persists.
-
We do not have a penalty system, but it's certainly possible that your metrics did not meaningfully change from one index release to another. It's all calculated based off the backlink profile we have for your site.
-
No way! Still it shows July 13 data for my all websites except one. That's very interesting. Is there any Moz penalty for some domains? I mean does moz have a penalty system?
-
Sorry for any trouble! While there can be a small time period after an index update in which the API is updated but the tools and apps built from it have not yet switched over to the new data, at this point everything from the July 27 update should be available from all sources. If you're seeing incorrect or inconsistent data, feel free to reach out to us at help@moz.com with the domains and URLs that you're seeing issues with, and we can look into it. Thanks!

When I click into the moz bar on our website www.essexparts.com it shows that the URL is Canadian and shows a Canada flag. The website and company are in the US. Can someone please explain this? Also does the location have any bearing on how it shows up in google? XNQOQoJ

How frequently is the Search Volume update for each keyword? API for Search Volume?
Subject pretty much says it all... How frequently is the Search Volume update for a given keyword? Is there an API call that would include keyword-specific Search Volume for one or more keywords? Thank you.

Why the Feb 2018 update was so early?
Hi There! We are using Moz to compare our metrics to increase our SEO / SERP penetration. According to MOZ API Updates, it was mentioned that the next update will be on 26th Feb. But the update was early, could you please let us know the reason for the same. Why is there a discrepancy between the date mentioned for the Moz Update and the date of release? Thanks Malik Zakaria

Old moz pixel?
We recently switched our website to secure https and noticed there is a pixel still firing that is related to moz but have no idea what it is for. https://moz.com/products/Mozscape/api/keymaster/Mozscape/credentials It is serving a 401 error status and going to remove off the site. Any idea what that was for? Thanks -

Still not got any index update data.
Is anyone finding that they haven't got the results of the update yet? I have tried some competitors and they are not updated either.

September's Mozscape Update Broke; We're Building a New Index
Hey gang, I hate to write to you all again with more bad news, but such is life. Our big data team produced an index this week but, upon analysis, found that our crawlers had encountered a massive number of non-200 URLs, which meant this index was not only smaller, but also weirdly biased. PA and DA scores were way off, coverage of the right URLs went haywire, and our metrics that we use to gauge quality told us this index simply was not good enough to launch. Thus, we're in the process of rebuilding an index as fast as possible, but this takes, at minimum 19-20 days, and may take as long as 30 days. This sucks. There's no excuse. We need to do better and we owe all of you and all of the folks who use Mozscape better, more reliable updates. I'm embarassed and so is the team. We all want to deliver the best product, but continue to find problems we didn't account for, and have to go back and build systems in our software to look for them. In the spirit of transparency (not as an excuse), the problem appears to be a large number of new subdomains that found their way into our crawlers and exposed us to issues fetching robots.txt files that timed out and stalled our crawlers. In addition, some new portions of the link graph we crawled exposed us to websites/pages that we need to find ways to exclude, as these abuse our metrics for prioritizing crawls (aka PageRank, much like Google, but they're obviously much more sophisticated and experienced with this) and bias us to junky stuff which keeps us from getting to the good stuff we need. We have dozens of ideas to fix this, and we've managed to fix problems like this in the past (prior issues like .cn domains overwhelming our index, link wheels and webspam holes, etc plagued us and have been addressed, but every couple indices it seems we face a new challenge like this). Our biggest issue is one of monitoring and processing times. We don't see what's in a web index until it's finished processing, which means we don't know if we're building a good index until it's done. It's a lot of work to re-build the processing system so there can be visibility at checkpoints, but that appears to be necessary right now. Unfortunately, it takes time away from building the new, realtime version of our index (which is what we really want to finish and launch!). Such is the frustration of trying to tweak an old system while simultaneously working on a new, better one. Tradeoffs have to be made. For now, we're prioritizing fixing the old Mozscape system, getting a new index out as soon as possible, and then working to improve visibility and our crawl rules. I'm happy to answer any and all questions, and you have my deep, regretful apologies for once again letting you down. We will continue to do everything in our power to improve and fix these ongoing problems.

In lue of the canceled Moz Index update
Hey Moz, Overall we love your product and are using it daily to help us grow, part of that has been to rely on the Moz Index for DA and PA as well as places where we are doing positive linking through genuine partnerships and reviews of clients. We were really excited to see any the results for this month as we have been partner linked from lots of high reputation sites and google seems to agree as our rankings are moving up weekly. The question from our marketing team is, since a significant part of Moz will not be available to us this month, will there be any compensation handed out to the paying community. PS: I am an engineer and I know how you have probably lost a very large set of data which cant simply be re-crawled over night but Moz Pro is not a cheap product and we do expect it to work. Source: https://moz.com/products/api/updates Kind Regards.
