      When ever I type in my website its tells me its not a valid URL . I have bought the URL www.buykickzonline.com. This was on my 90 day trial and it is not a good way to start my trial.

        I did send a message to help@moz.com.  Dont think its a server-level block of Rogerbot, because two other sites on the same server work just fine.  I'll post what I find later 🙂

          Can you send a note to help@moz.com? We can look and see what's up. Sometimes, it's because there's a server-level block of Rogerbot.

            I'm having same problem. last two days says invalid URL. The email I got from Mos says 404 error. Doesn't make sense since the website is up and functional. Anyone have any ideas?

              Hi Teddy,

              Does this seem to have been resolved, or are you still receiving the notice about an invalid URL?

                    Just curious - it wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that it is secure would it?  I have never used Moz tools on a secure website before... so this made me wonder.

                      I would start here my friend. Since this is a technical question, I would try contacting MOZ directly. From my experiences, they have very good service and response times.

                          Unsolved Website Traffic

                          website traffic organic search

                          Greetings All. I'm working on a new business website for a client, and I've been accessing the site numerous times daily (troubleshooting, confirming changes, etc.). I've been using Google search to access the site, and I use a VPN so that my IP would be random. So I would presume that the site traffic should be increasing. But on the last Moz Pro crawl, the site traffic was still listed as 0.
                          Is there a minimum amount of traffic required before Moz recognizes it or is something else going on?
                          Thank you.

                          title tags

                          where can I view all the pages of the website crawled to see all the page urls, page titles and descriptions all in one single view not one page at a time? for example when using screaming frog you can scan a site and it will make a list of all pages urls, titles and descriptions that you can export. Thanks.

                          When I enter my domain in the free analysis tool, I get a "bummer, no data found". I am certain whatever is causing that to happen is causing other SEO problems https://academicanv.org
