OSE stats for 2 site: searoundus.org and www.seaaroundus.org.
-
Why are the numbers so different for the two site, one with and one without the www.? Which one is most accurate for external linking domains, for instance?
-
Sorry, I meant two "a"'s.
Interesting that Google gives the same number of links for both (link:www.seaaroundus.org and link:seaaroundus.org) when I do it (157). But OSE has very different numbers for them
Yes, it does need a redirect. But I can't do that, since I don't control the site. Just am doing some analysis and wondering which URL for Sea Around Us to use.
Thanks.
-
In your question, you wrote searoundus.org and www.seaaroundus.org as the two URLs you were comparing.
The first one is written with one "a" and the second with two. If those are actually the versions you were comparing, that would make a big difference.
If it's seaaroundus.org vs www.seaaroundus.org, the vast majority of the links are to www.seaaroundus.org and that is the form Google is preferring in the search results. (It does still need a redirect.)
-
Thanks. you confirmed my fears.
-
Okay, that is a difficult question. They are two completely different sites in the eyes of search engines unless you do a redirect. At this moment their are probably a lot of links pointing to one of them and also a lot pointing at the other site.
This can also create nasty duplicate content issues.
Sorry. but i wouldn't know which one to choose for the most accurate one since they should be counted as a single website.Hope i've helped you in some way.
-
Thanks. I understand that; and I don't own this site so I can't make the 301 change. I need to know which numbers to use in my analysis, which one (i.e. domain, with or without the .www) provides the more accurate numbers for Total External Links and Total Linking Root Domains, for instance.
-
It is probably because you haven't set up a 301 redirect from one of the websites to the other. (So for example: http://searoundus.org redirects to http://www.searoundus.org)

Let me know if you need more help or if i was unclear.
Hope i helped your problem

Unsolved Site Crawler not working but on-demand crawler working
Hi, In Moz pro, when using Site crawler (or recrawl), we are seeing message site is banned. But when using on-demand crawler, it could generate report successfully. I just like to know if in both these cases, it is roberbot that is used! And kindly note, site crawler was perfectly working before. So the required setup is already in place from long time. Site crawler ban issue started appearing from nov/dec 2023. . Could you please us understand how could we possibly make site-crawler work?

Is it possible to block Moz from crawling sites?
Hi, is it possible to stop Moz from crawling a site at the server level? Not that I am looking to do this or anything, but here's why I'm asking. I have been crawling a site that is managed (currently by 2 parties), and I noticed that this week pages crawled went from 80 (last week) to 1 page!! I know, what? See my image attached... and the issues all went to zero "0"....! So is it possible that someone can't prevent Moz from crawling the site at the server level? I checked the robots.txt file on the site, but nothing there. I'm curious. dYNUwjd.jpg

OSE vs google webmaster link data
Hiya experts, I am trying to understand the OSE. One thing I noticed is that OSE shows 12 linking root domains to our site. However, google webmasters show more than 90(that have kinks to pages on our site). And these are not new links, some of these date back to Apr 2011. Is there something very obvious I am missing here? Thanks for your help. Regards, Raman.

20000 site errors and 10000 pages crawled.
I have recently built an e-commerce website for the company I work at. Its built on opencart. Say for example we have a chair for sale. The url will be: www.domain.com/best-offers/cool-chair Thats fine, seomoz is crawling them all fine and reporting any errors under them url great. On each product listing we have several options and zoom options (allows the user to zoom in to the image to get a more detailed look). When a different zoom type is selected it adds on to the url, so for example: www.domain.com/best-offers/cool-chair?zoom=1 and there are 3 different zoom types. So effectively its taking for urls as different when in fact they are all one url. and Seomoz has interpreted it this way, and crawled 10000 pages(it thinks exist because of this) and thrown up 20000 errors. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

Where is the best place to add links on my site?
If I'd like to put links to other sites in my site, is it better to have a page named "Our Helpful Links" etc. instead of just adding them to the bottom of an existing page like I've seen on some sites? I'm asking because I'm wanting to make Google as happy as possible and still add them. Just in case it helps to look at the site yourself to give advise its; http://www.allstatetransmission.net If you see anything else there that I should work on feel free to be hard on it, I value any criticism. Thanks, Jeff

How to force a recrawl of a site?
