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
This may be useful http://moz.com/blog/face-off-4-ways-to-de-personalize-google
-
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....

Rookie question re Moz Crawl errors after deleting a property from console.
Hi all, I stupidly removed the "http" url of my one website a few days back (it is one of three, the other two being the https), then re-added it around a day later and, while google console isn't reporting back any errors, Moz Crawl is going to town on this now for one critical "4xx" issues, canonicals and various other content issues that I addressed days previously...last Moz crawl performed an hour ago, url deleted and re-added two days ago. I have resubmitted a sitemap, will this smooth itself out or shall I go and make changes? Many thanks in advance.

50,000 4xx errors listed in MOZ report :(
HI, I've just had a look at a customers MOZ report and discovered nearly 50,000 errors listed!! The site is a non dynamic, non database driven site so where these have come from is beyond me. Example - (Both links open in a new window)

LIVE PAGE - http://lunnonwaste.com/licenses/Heatherland-Limited-H&S-Policy-Document-JAN-15.pdf
NON EXISTANT PAGE - http://lunnonwaste.com/licenses/licenses/Heatherland-Limited-H&S-Policy-Document-JAN-15.pdf - if you hover over any links you'll see they're ALL ......./licenses/licenses/.......... which doesn't exist! It's the file system that seems to be the problem - .........../licenses/licenses/........... and this gets added onto (............./licenses/licenses/licenses/licenses/.............. , up to the 50,000 page errors LOL The problem is self replicating. It's very odd and not something I've ever seen before, NON of these 'extra' pages are listed on the server, so where are they coming from? Any suggestions or help would be gratefully appreciated1 -
How do I combat title tag issues in Moz because of long company/site name? [Currently using Yoast SEO Plugin]
I've only just started to dip my toe into the SEO pool, so please forgive me if this is a silly question. I've been working heavily in the Moz tool and the Yoast SEO plugin to clean up the meta descriptions on our site, as there were many pages without descriptions in place (we just transferred from a different CMS to Wordpress within the last month or so). Now I'm noticing on our Site Crawl that we have 60+ pages that have title elements that are considered too long. When I go in to fix these issues on our blog posts (as this is where most of the issues lie), Yoast is already giving me the green light on the title lengths. I've discovered that the reason why Moz is telling us that many of our site lengths are too long is because "| Parker Staffing Services" is added to the end of our title tags automatically. Deep breath Now that you've heard all of the backstory... Is there a way that I can prevent that site title (which is 26 characters all by itself! Talk about limiting!) from displaying on search engines when our blog posts or pages show up in search results? I've poked around in the Titles & Metas settings that come with Yoast, but I fear making too many changes will result in me screwing something up. Help an SEO beginner out? 🙂

Is there any way to get Moz to generate a regular (e.g. weekly) report of new links to my domain, automatically?
I want to know when new people link to my domain. I do not want to log in once a week and use a complex interface to figure this out, I want it in my inbox every week. Is there a way to get Moz to do this? (I am a PRO user) Cheers, Daniel

SEO MOZ Timezone
I have looked & looked but I can not figure out how to set MY timezone on SEOMOZ? The dates are all wrong in my reports ... **Organic traffic data ** Last Data Update: 04/16/2012 Crawl Diagnostics Last Crawl Completed: Apr. 20th, 2012 Next Crawl Starts: Apr. 25th, 2012 Keyword Rankings "Your keywords are updated weekly on Saturday. The last update was April 19th, 2012." Yet today is Friday the 20th 2012??? It seems like each segment of the information is updated on a differing date?
