Question about Crawl Diagnostics - 4xx (Client Error) report
-
Hi here,
I was wondering if there is a way to find out the originating page where a broken link is found from the 4xx (Client Error) report. I can't find a way to know that, and without that information is very difficult for me to fix any possible 404 related issues on my website.
Any thoughts are very welcome! Thank you in advance.

Thank you Paul, I have just voted and left a comment! Let's cross our fingers! That tool is great, but can be much improved
Thank you again.

I've created a Feature Request indicating this kind of info needs better documentation, Fabrizo. Would you go to the request I made, add your vote, and perhaps leave a comment describing how much time you lost trying to find your solution?

I've suggested this a number of times to staff while answering this question in the past but in fairness, I can see how requests here in Q&A might not get passed to the folks responsible for considering these kinds of changes. So if we help them by using the Feature Request, we can make it easier for them and hopefully other users in the future.

Yes, thank you Paul, that's actually what I didn't know! I think SEOmoz should make that clear somewhere... I spent almost 1 hour trying to find that information around the site!
Thank you again very much.

Unfortunately the report page doesn't explain it, Fabrizio, but the information you are looking for is available if you download the full report as a CSV. Once you open the spreadsheet, you'll find that the very last column is titled "Referrer" and lists the page the broken link is found on so you go and fix it.
That what you were looking for?

I've actually wondered this too because my SEOmoz report shows 404s that Google Webmaster Tools does not and I'd like to know how mozbot found it while googlebot didn't.
-
Google Webmaster Tools reports where 404 links originate from. I don't think the SEOmoz bundle can help you. GWMT will for sure.

On-page grader question
Hi there, Getting to know the Pro tools and can't find an answer to this. Can someone explain for me please? Using on page grader, I found a couple pages with an F. I scrolled downWTO where it shows the keyword phrases and under each, the URL. Clicking on the first keyword "Building site alarms"it tells me off essentially for not optimising the page for that term. The URL is "construction site security systems" which are different to building site alarms which also have their own page. I don't understand why is Moz associating this keyword with this page? I certainly haven't told it to. Please he

My moz only one page was crawled
I recently moved my shopping cart from one provider to another and today moz only crawled one page, could this be because maybe google has not indexed it yet or should i be concerned? I pointed the DNS at the new cart monday night if that helps. I would have expected it to be indexed by now

Has the Crawl Test gone?
Just checked the new Moz, am I right in thinking the super useful crawl test functionality has gone? I use it for existing sites to download all the title tags and meta name descriptions, is there more to come??

No follow links also been reported in SEOmoz crawl diagnostics
Hi, Why does SEOmoz reports links which has been marked as 'nofollow'. I am getting 'Overly-Dynamic URL' reports on links which I have designated as nofollow which means Google will discount them. So why does SEOmoz still report them. Thanks.

http://footdistrict.com/new-balance-m400nnb.html?___store=footdistrict_en My guess is that this is due to the fixed footer that we have set where modal windows pop up with delivery info and so on. As such, all the content within it is repeated through all the pages What do you recommend me to remove this duplicate content? I have read about duplicate content issues but they don't usually deal with div tag duplicate issues, modal windows and so on. Thanks Regards0 -
