How to use moz to find spam backlinks
-
I am new to MOZ pro. I have lots of spam backlinks from a company that blackhatted me about 5 years ago. Can MOZ list these for me? I don't know how.
Thanks

From Spam Analysis you can export a disavow file and upload it in Google Webmaster Tools.

Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here!
Sean is totally right - the place to go would be Open Site Explorer, and you'd want to take a look at the Spam Analysis tab! That should help you focus your efforts for disavowing any links that need to be disavowed.

Hey there,
Put your website URL through Moz Open Site Explorer and pull out all backlinks pointing to any page on your domain. Moz has it's own metric known as 'Spam Score' that will rate how likely each link is to be 'spam'. This should help you on your way:

I hope that helps!

Change email address just for communication with Moz
I want to keep my email address as it is now for all of my profiles, however to manage my MOZ account I prefer that my assistant get the emails. If I change my email address on the Moz account will that trigger a change anywhere else? Thanks, Cindy Cindy@PTScoaching.com

Does anyone else find the support on here subpar?
I just sent in a chat request, got Eli and asked him how I can get the ranking data for the keywords I put into a campaign now. He sends me a link on how to create a custom report. I went to create a custom report only to realize that the same data pulls into that report as pulls into the ranking report? Does anyone else get superficial amateur subpar support like this? We are currently trialing the platform and contemplating switching from SEMRush and implementing MOZ reports into our custom built API reports for our clients but so far i'm absolutely appalled with the support on here. Not only did it take 3 days to get an answer, I didn't even get the answer to my question. Seems like a bunch of beginners running support?! Thoughts anyone???

Our client changed their domain name. Can we replace without losing the data for the old domain in MOZ ? We are at our campaign limit would the old domain count as a campaign?

Campaign Update Notification Anomaly and some misc questions re Moz Analytics
Hi I received an email late last night (GMT) saying one of my campaigns had updated yet looking at the campaign online says last updated on the 13th ? Normally my campaigns have fully updated for the week by Wednesday latest. Other Notifications & Misc Queries: A Key Words on-page score has increased from 36 to 96 (these used to be letters, has grading changed ?) yet no on-page work has been carried out on this particular page for many months so how can it change so radically, is it just that Moz crawler has only just taken note of it ? When is the on-page opportunities section going to be complete/fixed (as in include a KW) i asked about this soon after it was launched but still lacks the all important kw to give it meaning/a useful tool. Am i right in thinking that until it includes the kw its totally meaningless ? When clicking Question Category (below) i cant change slection after clicking a radio button it cant be un-clicked, is this prob my side or yours ? All Best Dan

Moz Company & Personal Account Conflict
Hey Moz - I just had a question regarding the Moz Pro Account. Sometimes I find myself torn between using my personal Moz account, and the Moz Pro Account associated with my company (and my team). Is there a way to link a personal account WITH a company pro account, so I could post as myself, build my own cred, but still enjoy the benefits of Pro on my company's dime? Thanks!
