Crawl Diagnostics Report
-
I'm a bit concerned about the results I'm getting from the Crawl Diagnostics Report.
I've updated the site with canonical urls to remove duplicate content and when I check the site - it all displays the right values, but the report, which has just finished crawling is still showing a lot of pages as duplicate content.
Simple example:
Both of them are in the duplicate content section although both have canonical url set as:
Does each crawl check the entire site from the beginning or just the pages it didn't have a chance to crawl the last time?
This is just one of 333 duplicate content pages, which have canonical url pointing to the right page.
Can someone please explain?

Yep!
That's why I really like the csv files because you can sort stuff and filter things down to specifically what you want to see.

Hi Kenny,
Thanks for getting back to me.
So is it just the way it is reported on the page and it's not the actual problem with the duplicate content?

Hi Sebastian,
Sorry for the confusion. Our software currently reports those urls as having both duplicate content and canonical tags. I find that the best way to view this information is by exporting your crawl diagnostic's csv file. You can easily locate the export functionality in the upper right of the crawl diagnostic page.

Lag time between MOZ crawl and report notification?
I did a lot of work to one of my sites last week and eagerly awaited this week's MOZ report to confirm that I had achieved what I was trying to do, but alas I still see the same errors and warnings in the latest report. This was supposedly generated five days AFTER I made the changes, so why are they not apparent in the new report? I am mainly referring to missing metadata, long page titles, duplicate content and duplicate title errors (due to crawl and URL issues). Why would the new crawl not have picked up that these have been corrected? Does it rely on some other crawl having updated (e.g. Google or Bing)?

Getting my top keywords separated out in SEOmoz reports
I am using the standard functionality to produce weekly Moz reports. There does not seem to be a setting to show rankings of my most important keywords. It would be nice to have those high-level keywords on the first page. For example, I have 200 keywords in an account. I want the report to show on a page my 10 most important keywords. Is there a way to set up a Label to my keywords in order to product a report page just for those keywords?

Can you highlight a list of keywords in reports?
Hello all, My client recently asked me if there was a way to highlight a specific list of keywords to put on the first page of every report. These would be the highest priority keywords that we would always want to know the status of for his site. In the reports section, I am only seeing options for organizing the keywords by rankings improved/declined and comparing to competitors. Would anyone know how to label/categorize this list of keywords and then produce them as part of the monthly reports? Thank you,

Rankings Report not working
Hi (What happened to the User Voice feedback in PRO campaign reports? Another cutback because of scalability?) I'm getting sent here for Help on the reports It's Friday morning here in France ; I'm preparing a meeting with a client and as part of this I want their Rankings Report from the campaing I set up for them month's ago Half the keywords are showing up as "SAT" ; the message at the top says "Your keywords are updated weekly on Saturday. The last update was January 26th, 2013" They're not new keywords, if I click on them I get historic data up untill January 19th I'm guessing you had a problem on January 26th but why not put January 19th rankings rather than SAT ? The report is now useless. Here's the url if useful http://pro.seomoz.org/campaigns/54444/rankings Neil

Why have I stopped receiving emails about crawl reports and rankings reports?
I used to receive emails weekly telling me a new crawl had completed and the reports were ready and also another email saying the new rankings and on page reports were ready to view - I am not getting these anymore. Does this mean these are still happening but I need to find them within the package or has something changed? Thanks
