Site down: "high CPU usage is due to the large traffic generated from Moz
-
My client's site is down and the web host gives says that Moz is the reason why.
"The fact that your site was limited is because the traffic generated by Moz. This is why I have suggested to block their IP addresses."
Now we have unblocked the IP addresses and as you can see your site was limited again. And again the :

NOTE: Can you resolve this?
NOTE: I have achieved the campaign at this time in an effort to keep the site live.

I received a Moz prompt to check out if this question was answered yet.
Any chance that you have had a response from your development team?
The client's site is still archived. I am looking forward (dare I hope?) to those awesome reports coming again soon.
-
One other question, if I may add it.
I have several additional clients with the same host and at the same server tier.
Why is this one site only affected?
I am glad it is only one. However, if something can be tweaked to prevent a pending occurrence with others, I would be grateful to know.
Thanks in advance for your time and research.

Hi Dave,
I appreciate your working on this as we love your weekly reports and find them a huge value.
I already archived the campaign. So we are one very eager client of yours for news of a full solution. If needed, this is for https://www.smiledesigndentistry.com/
Thank you, JH

Hey Jeannie, Dave from the Help Team here.
Sorry about the trouble! Typically to resolve this we'd recommend adding a crawl delay for rogerbot to your robots.txt file.
Unfortunately, at this time, our crawler isn't able to follow crawl delay directives in robots.txt files. I'm so sorry about that! Our engineering team is aware of the issue and are working towards a resolution however I don't have an ETA at this time.
One possible solution in the interim while we work towards a fix here would be to archive the campaign so we stop crawling it, and then when we have the ability to follow crawl delays, you could un-archive your campaign. You could also block rogerbot altogether in your robots.txt file - it would look like this:
User-agent: rogerbot
Disallow: *I am going to show this conversation to our development team as well. Again, sorry for any inconvenience - please do let me know if there's anything else I can help with!

Moz, please advise.
Here is a followup from the web host:
"I also would like to inform you all the CPU is drained from moz bots once again. You can verify thi9s from the below output:
Code:
10123 54.163.0.158 rogerbot/1.2 https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-proc
454 54.144.199.191 rogerbot/1.1 http://moz.com/help/guides/search-ovIn order to resolve the problem I would ask you to contact https://moz.com/ again and ask them to reduce their agent Crawl rate:
rogerbot/1.2
Thank you for your cooperation in advance.
For your convenience, I will leave this ticket with status Awaiting Moz/client reply.
Best Regards, Technical Support Team"

Why does Moz see short Russian & Chinese urls as too long
We are translating content into Russian and Chinese on our website, the number of errors are increasing mainly around URL too long, each time we create a page with a Chinese or Russian url. If you click on the link below for a Chinese content page: https://www.westbourneschool.com/zh-hans/%E5%AE%BF%E8%88%8D%E5%8F%8A%E5%AF%84%E5%AE%BF%E5%AE%B6%E5%BA%AD/%E5%AE%BF%E8%88%8D%E7%94%9F%E6%B4%BB You will notice the url displayed by the browser is actually not very long, is there a way for MOZ not to see it as it appears above? Below is a page in Russian https://www.westbourneschool.com/ru/%D0%A8%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B0%20%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5 Any help will be much appreciated.

Moz Point Swag
So, I've been away from the SEO world for a few years but now I'm back in full swing and I noticed I have enough points for "A special MozPoints t-shirt and a Roger vinyl figurine" but had never gotten those because I assume it must have become an added swag during my hiatus... but I'd absolutely love to get hold of that as my boss is a big Roger fanboy and it would be hilarious to have that on my desk as a friendly mocking. If I can't, I can't. But I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Does the Moz toolset have a monthly reporting function yet? Can't seem to find it in the interface. I'm trialling the software but probably going to move to another service if this isn't available.

Moz pricing plans don't make sense
Hey. I posted a question about this on my other Moz account (one I use for moz local), but it appears to have been removed, so here goes again. Can someone from Moz please explain to me why that in your plans, as the price goes up and more campaigns are allowed, the amount of keywords tracked per campaign goes down? $149 plan - 5 campaigns - 450 keywords = 90 keywords per campaign. $249 plan - 25 campaigns - 1100 keywords = 44 keywords per campaign $599 plan - 100 campaigns - 3700 keywords = 37 keywords per campaign What confuses me here with your pricing plans is two fold Modern SEO requires a lot of quality content, interlinked together to rank well (in most cases). Your SEO guides even talk about this. Blogging is one of the most popular ways to do this. However, in any modest website these days, especially one that runs a blog, how does tracking only 37 keywords per campaign make sense? The fact is, that even your starter plan with only 90 per campaign doesn't make sense. My business website is tracking about 300 (that actually drive traffic). I provide my SEO clients with the same type of work I would do for my self, which again reinforces that 37 keywords is plainly pathetic. Every online pricing model I've ever seen follows one simple rule: When price goes up, you get more for your money, not less. At first glance you might think that is what you're getting when you step up a plan and get more campaigns, but then to have less keywords per campaign simply doesn't make sense at all. What does make sense is to have a more flexible pricing model. Instead of locking us into set tiers which don't really make sense, you should allow a more flexible pricing BEFORE we have to go up to enterprise. Why not have a per project price of 'x' price per month, then have a price per keyword or maybe per 100 keywords. This would allow all of us the flexibility to run campaign depths that make sense for us, not for your counterintuitive views of how we should be tracking them. Again, I'd really like a Moz staff person to respond to this as the last time I commented about this, it was removed.

Campaign Slots Increasing in Moz Analytics?
I have multiple Pro accounts due to a high volume of campaigns and Pro being limited to 30. I've noticed in Moz Analytics that the number of campaign "slots" is 100. This is on the pricing page for Moz Analytics as well. Am I correct in assuming that all current Pro accounts will get the features noted under Premium Moz Analytics? If so, thanks for the savings!
