Does using Sucuri block Moz?
-
I am using Opensite explorer on my site which uses Sucuri and it shows 0 for everything. Does Sucuri stop MOZ from reading the link?
I also suspect that using Sucuri has made my SEO suffer because the first page is always saying "redirecting" . Anyone with experience to this? Thanks
-
I use Sucuri cloud proxy and it has never affected my sites in any way. If you tell it to block the IP's or referral domain it will do so. If you do not it considers Moz/ Roger Bot & Dot Bot as white hat and does not block them unless you request that it does.
their user agents are right here

-
you can request that Sucuri check and make sure you are not being blocked. With that said I just ran a test on the site above and the only bots that are being blocked bad bots.
-
if you find this is not true for you simply tell Sucuri.net support inside the dashboard to Speak to support There phone number is 1–888–873–0817 they will tell security operations Center or( SOC) to white list anything you want white listed
-
Could you possibly share a screenshot of the redirect your talking about?
-
Tt sounds to me like you have a redirect issue on your server that could be blocking dotbot ( the bot for open site Explorer)
-
To determine whether or not a robots.txt file or a no index page is doing this please use the tools below their free and will give us a lot of information quickly & make sure your robots.txt is not blocking it.

to re-create a robots.txt file that works and will not block anything if that is the case use this tool.

** last but not least run your site through this tool and make sure nothing is out of whack.**
- http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/
- http://moz.com/tools/crawl-test ( do not be surprised if this does not work as may use the same bot being blocked by a number of different things)
- If you continue to have problems and Sucuri tell you that they are not blocking it.
- Look into using Deepcrawl.co.uk or screaming frog SEO spider
- I even run a free audit on deep crawl for you if everything above does not work.
I hope this helps,
Tom

Thanks Joe for the thumbs up on Sucuri based on your experience. Have tweaked the settings on Sucuri and opensite is able to detect it. Will continue to monitor it.
Appreciate the sharing of your experience with Sucuri, Joe.

Thanks Abe, you are right. Went to tweak the settings at sucuri and the opensite explorer worked. Cheers and appreciate the response

Thanks for the reply Ryan. Appreciate.
Robot.txt is ok, went to tweak the settings in sucuri and the opensite is able to detect it.
Cheers,
Eric

We do use Sucuri on some of our clients websites with high rankings and no crawl or ranking issues. I agree with Ryan it's some other issue you are having. Just wanted to let you know from direct experience with Sucuri not having any issues for us. Best Regards,
Joe

Hello and thanks for reaching out to us! While I don't have any personal experience with Sucuri, there are certainly website protection tools out there that can mess with our crawl attempts. If you can send your campaign name and web address to help@moz.com, we'd love to take a look at that for you!

Doubtful. Several sites mentioned on their clients page are showing numbers in OSE. Try out a few from: https://sucuri.net/clients/. Chances are you have a robots.txt issue blocking OSE, the site is brand new, or it's on a tld domain that is currently not compatible with OSE, such as http://example.website If you list your site here more details could be provided. Cheers!

Why Moz Link Explorer is showing wrong data?
Hi everyone. I am using Moz Link Explorer to find relevant links from competitors and when I narrow it down to Link Type: Follow Status: Active I get the list. All good here... BUT ... Inspecting the actual link on the page there is a no=follow attached to it. Is this feature still working properly on the new Link Explorer or is a bug? Thanks!

Angular SPA & MOZ Crawl Issues
Website: https://www.exambazaar.com/ Issue: Domain Authority & Page Authority 1/100 I am using Prerender to cache/render static pages to crawl agents but MOZ is not able to crawl through my website (https://www.exambazaar.com/). Hence I think it has a domain authority of 1/100. I have been in touch with Prerender support to find a fix for the same and have also added dotbot to the list of crawler agents in addition to Prerender default list which includes rogerbot. Do you have any suggestions to fix this? List: https://github.com/prerender/prerender-node/commit/5e9044e3f5c7a3bad536d86d26666c0d868bdfff Adding dotbot to Express Server:

How often are Moz Domain authority and Page Authority Metrics Refreshed?
How often are the MOZ metrics of DA and PA refreshed, this is because i have noticed when i conduct an Inbound link analysis of my blog, i realize that MOZ is merely detecting around 100+ only links to what is being detected on Google Webmaster Tools, any advise?

Does Moz have anything similar to ahrefs batch analysis tool?
I am wanting to do analysis of a whole bunch of URLs at once - i know ahrefs already has a very good tool for this - but I don't really want to have to pay the $79 a month if moz has something similar? I know it has the OSE. Can I do batch analysis in this? Thanks

How can I use Open Site Explorer to Identify why my own URL's are appearing as inbound links
I'm a new member of Moz, and am trying to understand why I am seeing my sites URL's in my Inbound Link results in Open Site Explorer. There are quite a few, and they are all product category URL's that are generated by my stores database. This is not happening with .html URL's. Any thoughts?

301 Redirects: How long for Google to recognize? How long for Moz/OSE to recognize?
I redirected a few pages that had funky URL issues (capitals and underscores and useless words) to the same page renamed with proper URLs. The sitemaps were changed also, and re-submitted. Like this: mydomain.com/Not_Pertinent_Words.html >>> mydomain.com/good-words.html Google seems to have found them and changed the search engine results listing in about 8 days. But it's been about a month now and Moz and OSE still have not transferred all the strength and link data from the old URLs to the new ones. Question 1: How long does it usually take Google to transfer all the link and strength data for a 301? Question 2: How long does it take Moz and OSE to do the same? Is there something I need to do to tell them about the changes?
