Why does the Moz Tool Bar show code as HTML text for my site?
-
When I run my site in the Moz Tool bar, all of the page elements are read correctly except for HTML text.
Sample page: http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/alkaline-water/electrolyzed-reduced-water
Instead of the text on that page, the tool shows Javascript code:
/*
With a very high character count for text (14,247).

We have a partial victory! The Moz Bar works on the blog, but it appears we have a problem with a noscript script on other pages of the site, such as the homepage. The Moz On Page grader works for blog pages now as well. Before this fix, it was showing all F's, no matter how well optimized the page was.
Thanks!

Hey,
I took a closer look at your page and it looks like what's happening is that you had a Facebook Script snippet in your body.
I used Chrome's Dev tools to move the script from the body to the end of the head and Mozbar is showing proper words now: http://goo.gl/Zpcwme
It's important to note that I'm not a Javascript developer, so I don't know if there was an explicit reason to have that code there. Generally scripts will need to go in the head tag or on a separate page and referenced. You'd want to confer with your dev team on this to make sure that's a viable solution for you.
But that is what's going on.
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Joel. -
I removed the Javascript comments but it didn't fix the problem. The Moz Bar now shows the same line of code without the comment code:
(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsB...

Hi Karasd,
Thanks for writing in. Looks like the MozBar crawler isn't quite smart enough to figure out some of the code on the page, specifically this snippet:

In the Moz Site Crawl, what does "External Links" mean?
I thought I knew what it meant but am finding instances where the value in the column, "Linking Root Domains" is greater than the value in the column, "External Links?" Thanks!

Keyword Stuffing Count Differs to Source Code
Moz's on page grader counts 33 instances of a keyword however, when looking into the source code I only find 8. I have checked if capitalization affects the find feature when viewing the source code and it doesn't. Has anyone else come across this issue and found an explanation?

How does a non-traditional TLD impact Moz's crawl test?
I have a client who moved from a .com to .academy domain 6 months ago, and their current crawl tests are coming back with a universal page authority of 1, along with 0 indexed backlinks. The previous version of the site had an average page authority of 35-40, the site architecture and content are nearly identical, and there are no other errors or red flags in the crawl report that would hold back their organic rankings. In fact, looking at the site's analytics account, I can see dozens of sites that provide current and properly functioning backlinks, non of which are listed on the crawl test. So the question is - is Moz currently unable to properly crawl a .academy (or any other non-traditional TLD) site, or is there some deeper issue with the site's SEO that I'm not seeing? Thanks!

Is there a tool that works like crawl test that allows more than 3000 pages?
I enjoy using crawl test inside moz but I need to find a way to crawl all the pages on a site. It would probably be in the neighborhood of 10,000 urls. Does anyone know of a free tool and if not is there a paid tool that will do this?

I'm checking keyword difficulty for two different sites. Would love to view the results by site instead of just one large list. Is that possible? Or would it just be easier to keep the lists separate in Excel and just import when I want an updated report?
I have keyword lists for two sites. Is there a way to label them in the keyword difficulty tool (List A, List B) so I can just view results for a particular site? Or do I need to run the report with List A, export results, delete those keywords, then run the report for List B?
