Moz is incorrect
-
So i have had my latest crawl, and the keyword report is showing that using google.co.uk i have some keywords not within the top 50 - i have just done a spot check (coping & pasting) direct from Moz to google.co.uk and out of 4 i have checked 1 keyword i am number 4 and 1 keyword i am page 3 - therefore within the top 50. This leads me to believe that there is something wrong with Moz - here is 1 example "land in the cayman islands" i am showing in moz as not in the top 50 when i am showing on Google as number.4

Hey John,
Just wanted to check in and see if you were still seeing any discrepancies with your rankings.
Cheers!

Make sure you are not logged into your Google+ account at the time of checking your rankings and also clean your cookies.

apologies
I did think for a second after writing "He" maybe I should have said "the person" or "they", but then laziness kicked in
-
Thanks i will do that now.

If you are really sure that there are mistakes in the software then you should probably contact the Moz Technical Support.
If you contact them and together you will find something out let me know what the outcome is.

Hi - I have just tried **&pws=0 **and it is still number 4 - I have also had a few people try and it is number 4 (cashed cleared etc) - i have checked the capitals and everything in Moz to make sure it is exactly the same (i copied and pasted it direct from Moz). I have 72 keywords on this campaign and i have just done a check on all the keywords that are not in the top 50 - Moz states i have 21 out of the 72 not in the top 50 (for co.uk) however my colleague and i just checked and 7 out of the 21 are in the top 50. I have used moz for a long time and i dont question its technology however in this case there are some definite errors.

He's a she! And yes that's what I meant

John, did you use an incognito browser where you are not logged in to your Google account?
-
he means when you manuly search google gives you personal results that can be very different to what everyone else gets
so if you search oasis-land.com, the url is :
add &pws=0 to the end of that url
that will give you results with personal results turned off
note: we track .co.uk and have had no problems with moz's tracking
-
No. Add to the end of the search results URL after the results have been returned

-
Do you want me to add that ending within my moz campaign?
-
Hi - Thank you for your quick response, i got crawled last night and i had the same result (no.4) yesterday day. Thank you
-
Hi,
Don't know what site you have but I get <cite>oasis-land.com </cite>at 4.
Your spot check Google results might be skewed by personalisation. Try adding &pws=0 at the end of the URL and see if results change
-
Make sure that when you are checking your rankings you are using a clean browser without any saved cookies and add &gl=uk to the top of the URL.
If they are still different it's possible that you've gone up in the time between the last ranking check....

Block Moz (or any other robot) from crawling pages with specific URLs
Hello! Moz reports that my site has around 380 duplicate page content. Most of them come from dynamic generated URLs that have some specific parameters. I have sorted this out for Google in webmaster tools (the new Google Search Console) by blocking the pages with these parameters. However, Moz is still reporting the same amount of duplicate content pages and, to stop it, I know I must use robots.txt. The trick is that, I don't want to block every page, but just the pages with specific parameters. I want to do this because among these 380 pages there are some other pages with no parameters (or different parameters) that I need to take care of. Basically, I need to clean this list to be able to use the feature properly in the future. I have read through Moz forums and found a few topics related to this, but there is no clear answer on how to block only pages with specific URLs. Therefore, I have done my research and come up with these lines for robots.txt: User-agent: dotbot

Disallow: /*numberOfStars=0 User-agent: rogerbot
Disallow: /*numberOfStars=0 My questions: 1. Are the above lines correct and would block Moz (dotbot and rogerbot) from crawling only pages that have numberOfStars=0 parameter in their URLs, leaving other pages intact? 2. Do I need to have an empty line between the two groups? (I mean between "Disallow: /*numberOfStars=0" and "User-agent: rogerbot")? (or does it even matter?) I think this would help many people as there is no clear answer on how to block crawling only pages with specific URLs. Moreover, this should be valid for any robot out there. Thank you for your help!0 -

Moz shows duplicate content, but URL's are tagged with campaign tags
Crawl diagnostics shows a lot of pages with duplicate content, but when I check the details, I see that it lists the same page but the url contains a campaign tag, so it's not really another page that is serving identical content... Is there a way to remove these pages out of the Crawl Diagnostics?
