Does the Moz Pro site crawl, crawl password protected sites?
-
So i asked Moz Pro site crawl to crawl my page, and a lot of issues came up - but for password protected sites. Does the Moz Pro site crawl do this? A lot of the issues, are not relevant for a site that is password protected.

Hi there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here!
Typically requiring a password to access certain pages on the site will prevent our crawler from reaching them, but if those pages are linked to somewhere else on your site, it's possible for our crawler to still find those pages.
This sounds like it might be pretty specific to your Campaign, so I would encourage you to contact us at help@moz.com and we'll do our best to sort through this with you.
Thanks!

No, none of them are. Most of them are about metadata or content issues. My impression were, that google or Moz for that sake, couldn't crawl sites you have to use a password to access? Thanks for your answer by the way

Hi there,
Were the issues that came up for the password protected pages all '403 Forbidden' errors/warnings? If so, I would not be concerned about this assuming that these pages should be blocked with a login. The Moz Pro site crawl will not be able to access these pages or properly analyze them.

Question in regards to Comparing Metrics with MOZ tools
Hi all! After using the "Compare Links Metrics" in the research tools, a few questions popped up. Particularly, in regards to what key metrics to look for when determining if a websites outbound links are trustworthy and may pass Link-juice. Basically, "if my link is put on that website, will search engines trust it"? I've copied an example below and typed a few comments next to particular metrics. Please share some insight them: Page Authority: 48 Page MozRank: 4.94 -Is 4.94 considered OK? Page MozTrust: 4.96 -Is 4.96 considered OK? Internal Equity-Passing Links: 2,819 External Equity-Passing Links: 2,326 -Lower = better? Total Equity-Passing Links: 5,145 Total Internal Links: 2,844 Total External Links: 2,383 - Lower = better? Total Links: 5,227 Followed Linking Root Domains: 88 Total Linking Root Domains: 129 Linking C Blocks: 30 Equity-Passing Links vs

Repeated mysterious 404's from ancient site structure killing my rankings
Several years ago I changed my site structure to go from a flash based site to a blog based wordpress site. After doing so I went from page 1 to page 30 for my relevant search terms. I have employed people to help me track down the problem and I believe that they have narroed it to the existance of 404's being created from some unknown internal source. I have been for years getting links like this... <colgroup><col width="792"></colgroup>

When I do a moz crawl of the site, none of these links show up. Therefore I have no way of finding the source of these links (they also do not show me the source in WMT as they should). We have completely cleared the site and rebuilt it and although it is still only a couple of weeks in it still does not appear to have stopped them. Does anyone have any way of helping me find the source of these mysterious 404's?0 -
Moz & Other Sites Not Showing in Link Profile?
I'm curious to know why Moz, YouTube, G+ and some other links are not showing the OSE link profile as NOFOLLOW or DOFOLLOW for our website whiteboardcreations.com? When doing analysis, we see a lot of companies YouTube pages with their NF link and G+ page links and even see a lot of the Moz community members with their Profile pages showing the NF link or the DF links. I'm confused as to why OSE is not picking up any of our links from those respective sites. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance. - Patrick
