404 Crawl Diagnostics Report MOZ
-
Hi,
I keep getting 404's appear in the Crawl Diagnostic error warnings.
How do I find out which pages are linking to these 404 pages? How is MOZ finding them?
thanks

Hey Ben!
Thanks for the question. The best way to do this is to head over to your Crawl Diagnostics page and then exporting the csv. From there, you can sort the 404 column to group them and scroll over to the referrer URL column (all the way at the end). That'll give you the path Roger took to get to the 4XX/5XX error.
This will be made a bit easier in Analytics because we'll list the referrer URL in the UI for these situations, but for now, the csv is your best bet. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
Best,
Sam

Hi Ben,
When I am fixing 404s, I like to use Screaming Frog (paid if over 500 pages) or Link Sleuth (free), because they do a real-time scan of your site and will find 404 pages and all internal links pointing to those pages.
And since it is real-time, you can do an immediate scan to make sure you fixed your problems (where the Moz scanner takes a week to rescan your site).
Hope this helps,
Mike

Try using Open Site Explorer. It should list all the links that Moz knows of that are pointing to your 404'd pages.

Why do I have so many site crawl issues with my site?
Hi there, Our website is www.mormonhub.com. We have many other websites that we own as well. For some reason, our website has tens of thousands of Site Crawl Issues.

Editing Keywords in Moz Keyword Tracking Under Campaigns
Hi all, Some questions for Moz Pro Campaigns Setup Q1
Moz Bar | | SP1
As part of Moz Pro, we've created a campaign to track a set number of keywords and it seems that 2-3 of the keywords have been entered as a misspelling so I wanted to know how I can edit them to be corrected? Under "Add & Manage Keyword" I do see the keywords however do I need to click on "Show More" in order to scroll over to the keywords I need to edit / correct? Q2Eager to know if duplicated keywords are omitted when they are entered into the campaign. So if someone had entered in "abc123" twice in the list of 600 keywords will the 2nd instance of abc123 be removed when the keyword list is submitted into Moz? Cheers,

Using Moz to find blogger with good PR.
Hi, My manager has recently informed me that you can use Moz in order to find blogger by category and their page rank. Is this possible? The reason for this is because we are looking for blogger with a good page rank and who are relevant to our sector, which is days out, outdoor activities, zipwires, adventure etc. We then want to contact them to see if we can invite them to write about our Tree Top Adventure and zip trekking activities. Any help would be much appreciated.

Why'd Moz stop showing the list of users?
Curious to know if anyone else noticed that Moz stopped showing most of the active community users http://moz.com/community/users. It was nice to see who's who from visiting profiles and try to connect with them via email or see their websites, etc. There used to be pagination at the bottom. Why did they stop?

Issues with on-page report
My on page reports are really bad (F´s all over the place). When I go to a specific page to check why, it seems that Moz is not properly tracking some of the key metrics. For example for the following page (https://www.iguanafix.com.ar/servicios/pisos/palermo?loc=AR.CF.CF.PA) and keyword "pisos palermo" it is tracking that the keyword is not in the title (which it is), the keyword is not in the URL (which clearly is), not in H1, again it is, etc. I guess this is what is affecting my ranking and thus preventing me from defining a strategy to improve my SEO. Any ideas much appreciated. Thanks
