If I have a MOZ PRO account, do I still need Screaming Frog?
-
Hi, I have a MOZ PRO account which is brilliant for me. I am about to move my site from HTTP to HTTPS and was looking for a smooth way to list every page and its details so I can make sure I do the correct redirects etc.. before the switch to SSL.
Do I need to get Screaming Frog, or can the tools with MOZ Pro ease my path just as well?
Thanks

Wow... the man himself Dr Pete!! Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I've decided to go with both Moz Pro AND Screaming Frog.

Our new Site Crawl can provide a full audit of your site (whether or not pages have issues) with information like crawl depth and Page Authority, but both tools have pros and cons. We use a cloud-based crawler (pardon the term) and Screaming Frog runs on your own machine -- even this has pros and cons, depending on your use-case. We now allow on-demand recrawls for Medium Tier on up. Screaming Frog has more customization, if you're looking for specific patterns and generally offers more raw data, I'd say. Our new Site Crawl is a bit more accessible to most users and helps provide insights, but doesn't have a lot of customization options right now.
If you've got a Moz plan that covers the size of your full site, then either Moz Site Crawl or Screaming Frog should be able to help you audit your full list of pages prior to an HTTP-->HTTPS migration.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Much appreciated

Hey! Dave from the help team here,
If you are tracking your site in a Campaign with Moz Pro, you can use the Site Crawl tool to get a full list of all pages crawled and the details regarding these pages. Hopefully that helps to point you in the right direction, let us know if you need anything else!

I use both and I don't think either is a replacement for the other. If your website is under 500 pages, you can use the free version. If not, one license is not expensive at all and valid for a whole year.

I highly recommend Screaming Frog on top of Moz. It can do a lot of Ad-Hoc crawls and help you diagnose potential issues. Try and play with the free version. Depending upon the site of the site, you might be okay with the less than 500 pages. However, at $200 a license, it's not much for a larger site. Imagine what a bug could cost you?

Unsolved My DA does not increase and Moz does not recognize my links
Hello everyone. My website (I am attaching the link to it, if you cannot attach the link remove it but please give me an answer) https://mejorhora.com/ 3 MONTHS ago I made different redirections from other websites that I have with high authority in order to increase both the Da and the DR since I sell links to that website and it suits me. Ahref showed me all the links after a few days, also in search console. However, in Moz it does not recognize more than 500 new domains that give me links. Because? It's been 3 months... What should I do?

Does Moz register backlinks from Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn?
I've noticed that on sites with decent social presence and regular content posts that Moz isn't showing/recording any inbound links from Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. Posts are regularly shared via these three channels but no inbound links ever seem to show up. Does Moz not record such inbound links, or are they all disguised using JavaScript or some other trick?

Fastest way to get new backlinks recognised by Moz?
Hi all, I have seen a few discussions / advice pieces around this, but wondered what the current view is on the fastest way to get new backlinks recognised by Moz? I have seen people say that the content needs to be shared (e.g. on Twitter), and advice around creating Bitly links. I am not convinced that these techniques are working. On a related note, my website is very large. I have around 2.5m pages. Most of these pages are 3-4 clicks from the home page, but I have a small amount of important content much higher up in the site (1-2 clicks from the home page). Does Moz crawl pages nearer the home page more frequently, or does it make a pass of all pages on the site before it starts at the beginning again? If it makes a complete pass of all pages, then presumably making my site smaller will help to get Moz to see new content more quickly? Is there any other value to be gained in making a large site smaller? Many thanks in advance, Neil.

Moz error with domain and page authority if no www in my domain
Hello, so our domain is website.com and we do not use www in our domain. Now moz shows our page authority as huge (website. Com) and domain authority very low. But our domain is our page that we rank. Is this due to the fact that we use no www and we rank our main index page? Am I correct? Thanks!

How Is a Page Crawled by Moz When Moz Says 'No Links'?
As above, really. I've crawled a new client's site to find the Moz crawler has identified a handful of 404 errors. The Moz crawler says these pages have '0 linking domains', and OSE has no data for these pages. So how are these pages being crawled by Moz and what should I advise my client?
