Moz Report-Canonical
-
Moz crawl reported in issues:
Rel Canonical:
using rel=canonical suggests to search engines which url should be seen as canonical.
But we have sorted out this a long time ago. Is there a way where can I verify if the moz crawl is wrong or if we really do not specify the canonical?

Thank you very much to all! So I guess the canonical is sorted out. I have also deleted the site from above as I really do not want it in the search, might be the only thing
unfortunately.Thank you very much,
All the best

Iris if you do not want your web be found, delete it from your previous post!
As we told you, after examining home of your web we can observe that it has used canonicals adequately.
I wouldn´t get annoyed about misunderstandings and would keep up research about this powerful tool, read, learn, ask questions as you did, you will be definitely rewarded.
Cheers

Thank you very much for all the help.
In report it is clearly stated as one of the 8 issues and in suggestion it says about rel-canonical, so if we have it sorted out I really do not understand why the tool would be pointing out to it.
If it is really like Claudio and Martjin said that it is a NOTICE then it is realy confusing because it did not NOTICE a image there also or widget nd etc...It could have notice another thousands of things...
Thank you very much for looking into this, being beginner I am full of stupid questions:-(

Hi Iris, as Martijn Scheybeler says, moz could be reporting a NOTICE finding those canonicals.
You should see something as: "Here are some other things we found in our last crawl about this page. These notices might not be affecting your site negatively, but might be interesting for you to know."
It´s a notice not an issue to be solved.
Hope it´s useful and you can continue scaling about using moz which is a terrific tool to optimize, just need to get used to it!
Cheers

Hi Iris,
The 'issue' for REL canonicals is only just a warning that Moz found the rel canonical on your site. So it's not saying it's an issue of some sorts. But if you want to be sure post the URL and we'll take a look.

If you want to post your site or email it to me at lesley@dh42.com I can tell you if you have a canonical tag on your site. You can also view source and search for it as well.

Limit MOZ crawl rate on Shopify or when you don't have access to robots.txt
Hello. I'm wondering if there is a way to control the crawl rate of MOZ on our site. It is hosted on Shopify which does not allow any kind of control over the robots.txt file to add a rule like this: User-Agent: rogerbot Crawl-Delay: 5 Due to this, we get a lot of 430 error codes -mainly on our products- and this certainly would prevent MOZ from getting the full picture of our shop. Can we rely on MOZ's data when critical pages are not being crawled due to 430 errors? Is there any alternative to fix this? Thanks

Moz says "Title Too Long", Yoast says title is the perfect length. Who's right?
For a bunch of my pages, the MOZ Crawl Report says "Title Too Long". Yoast on my site tells me that the titles are the correct length. How can these two things be at odds with each other? Which one is right?

Does "Disallow: /xmlrpc.php" in robots.txt affect moz tools ability to fetch DA?
Just checked a website for Domain Authority using Moz' tool, however it returned 1 for DA, which should be unlikely. I have been trying to find the problem and found "Disallow: /xmlrpc.php" in robots.txt. Could this affect Moz' tools ability to get the required data?

Many more 404 being reported in GWT than MA
Hi I have been submitting MA crawl reports to clients developers post going live with a new site migration and instructing them to set up 301's for any 404's still reporting which they have now done (despite instructing them not to go live until all old url's mapped & 301'd to new replacement page, or HP if no replacement). 1) When i look in GWT crawl errors there has been a spike since going live with 660 'page not founds' being reported compared to x11 404's in MA. Could there be a 'lag' in GWT reporting and actually they have already been dealt with just not updated by GWT in this report and the MA report is more accurate ? Should i wait and see/or mark as fixed and see if return tomorrow, or tell dev to immediately investigate ? I have checked some samples links and they are going to 404 type pages so presume they are still broken and urgent issue dev must fix immediately ? 2) How long does it take aprox for the page authority to be transferred via a 301 redirect to a new page since i see some category pages that had good PA and have been 301'd to new category urls, are now showing a PA of just 1 !! Cheers Dan
