I can personally recommend DeepCrawl, its an amazing tool. Use it almost every day.

Thanks Vijay, its only on my windows machine (I really only use it for Server Log Analysis) and the above seems like to much work. Its working fine on the Mac - so will just install and leave it off the windows machine.

Hi Mozzers

I am geting this very annoying message keeps popping up

"Confirm

Oops!

Something went wrong while trying to get your API Credentials. Please try again or check out the Help Hub if you are still experiencing issues"

Issue is I cant even read it on my screen as it gets cut off and there is no scroll so had to copy and past into word to be able to read it.

I had the issue for the last sever hours, is this my account or more general.

Thanks

Andy

Million dollar question - firstly does your site deserve to rank. Do you actually answer the query or is it a 50 word answer and your just hoping Google will rank you. You need to be writing 10x content (https://moz.com/blog/how-to-create-10x-content-whiteboard-friday)

Assuming you have a decent answer, the next question is. How often is Google crawling your website (the only way to find out is to look in your server logs). It could be that Google hasn't even crawled the page yet, if it hasn't crawled the page its not going to rank.

Finally assuming you wrote a great article and Google has read it, how authoritative are you in this niche. If you website is all about cars and suddenly you write an article about pens because its low competitive and you want the traffic, Google is smart enough know to understand you have probably written the article for SEO traffic and probably won't rank you high.

They don't happen to have multiple logins (different users) do they and keep creating a new user for themselves.

I would recommend changing your password, and then looking at all the other users - do you know them or can they be deleted.

At least you did it the right way and created them a login, the amount of people I know who they just sent across their own login details.

If its not the first option, please let me know I do have another idea - but the above idea is the easiest to explain and fix.

Thanks

If you dont have access to the logs that could be an issue - not really any automated tools out there as it would need to crawl every website and find 404 errors.

I haven't tried this - so its just an idea. Go into GSC download all the links pointing to your site (and from places like Moz, Ahrefs, Majestic) and then chuck that list of urls into Screaming Frog or URL Profiler and look at external links and see if any are returning a 404. Not sure if this would work - its just an idea.

Thanks

Hi

The best way I have found is to look in your server logs, its the only true place to find out what Google is doing on your site.

Download the logs and look at all the 404 errors - quite simple and depending on size of your logs can take you around 5 minutes worth a work - the longer time period you can analyse in your logs the better.

Thanks

Andy
