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"

I have a client who wants to have their own Moz login. I want to move them out on to a new plan from the Standard (5 campaigns) plan. Can I do this?
For years I've been managing campaigns in Moz through Moz Pro. This enables up to 5 campaigns. One of my clients wants access to their campaign and are happy to pay for a new Moz Standard account just for them. My question is - can this be done? They would like my company (or more specifically me) to still have admin access to the account. I'm confused as to whether multi-seat is the right way to go? I don't want my client to login to my current Moz Pro account as I have other client's campaigns on it. Can anyone help as to the best approach.

Hi Moz community, My Moz Pro writes 555 duplicate content errors, when i click on the page address to check witch page duplicate, it gives me the same page address without WWW. http://www.domain.com/page Duplicated: http://domain.com/page The first thing i checked is my .Htaccess file.. , I found out i have a www redirection that redirect everyone without the "www" to the full domain with the "www" - and it works perfectly on the browser.

Both campaigns are now useless due to URL rewrite?
I have two campaigns on Moz and they were doing fine until I made the decision to rewrite my URL to remove www so, www.thing.com becomes thing.com Moz sees this as a error it seems and I am now getting error code 902. I tried to change my campaign setting but it won't let me change the URL because it's got historical information that doesn't pertain I guess. What should I do? Was it a mistake to remove the www? Thanks for any advise, Greg

What is the difference between the "Crawl Issues" report and the "Crawl Test" report?
I've downloaded the CSV of the Crawl Diagnositcs report (which downloads as the "Crawl Issues" report) and the CSV from the Crawl Test Report, and pulled out the pages for a specific subdomain. The Crawl Test report gave me about 150 pages, where the Crawl Issues report gave 500 pages. Why would there be that difference in results? I've checked for duplicate URLs and there are none within the Crawl Issues report.

Has the Moz website update affected my data?
Hi Moz, I can see you are currently updating your website and regularly get either the new or old moz format when I log into my account. When I am in my account and Moz is in the new format my account info including keyword ranking & external followed links dramatically change. I am just trying to investigate if it is a moz issue with data or something else? Help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot, Beth

I have upgraded my account but I can't add another site. What to do?
Simple, I want to get out of my free trial. I need to work with two/three sites. I seem to have access to five accounts... but I can't add a site. Very frustrating.
