If we put the disavow links in google, does MOZ crawl the same links?
-
I have put bad or spam links in disavow file, but still showing in MOZ backlinks. So, I want to know that Why is MOZ not removing the spam links from their system?

@eli-myers Hello, I have a question about disavow links.
We have some backlinks which have high spam scores, we gave google for disavowing, but we don't know when Moz will see that we gave google those links to disavow them.

Hi Eli,
Any update on this feature? It's been over a year now since your post above. Has this moved on to the development roadmap now?
Thanks

Hi Eli Myers,
Thanks for sharing that information! Just one more question - Does this mean that spam scores are also not updated since the links are still showing in Moz? What are the appropriate steps to take to lower spam scores and as a result, improve DA?
-
Hi Eli Myers,
thank for sharing info. but how can I increase DA and PA. and how can I remove that spam backlinks permanently
-
Thanks Eli
for response on the question, actually we do not know who is making bad links for our website. He is putting our website links on spamy websites, and MOZ is crawling and showing our website is spamy too. We have already put that links in disavow. But Still we are unable to remove that links or unable to contact with spamy websites and they are also not replying on our emails too.
Hope ! you will also create a new best strategy same as google disavow tool.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for contacting us!
We unfortunately will not detect that a link has been disavowed, this isn’t something we were able to include in the old or new DA models. Since disavowing links doesn't actually remove a link, it just signals to Google that the links isn't important, our crawler will continue to find the link. We are working on having something like that built into Link Explorer, where if you disavow a link in Google, you can also mark it as disavowed in Moz, but I’m afraid that option isn't available yet.
Links will not drop out of the Moz index unless the links are actually removed and no longer link to you, or if we’re unable to crawl the page the link is on.
We’ll continue to improve our Domain Authority and Page Authority algorithms and strengthen our link index as the search landscape changes. In terms of future updates, we anticipate this new DA model being quite stable over time. We will keep track of possible changes that we might need to make and we’ll be sure to keep you updated.
I hope this helps but please let us know if there's more we can help to clarify!
Eli

Unsolved New Google SERP Now Lazy Loading
Hello, Google has changed the way it displays it's SERPs with lazy loading new listings. Because of this the Moz Chrome Extension no longer shows results past first results. I also often find that when a site is ranked above the Maps, it doesn't display results. Is there a fix for this?

Keyword Ranking Report is Different than Real Result on Google
Hi Guys,
Moz Bar | | KanikaG
I am getting MOZ reports on a few keywords and that is good But when My client search for the same keywords he doesn't get the same rank, not even on that page. Let me explain in more details:
I have a keyword that shows on rank #5 in Google Mobile for a Local location for the current week. The client is from the same location as well. But when client search for that keyword from his mobile he doesn't get the keyword listed on that page, not even on other pages. I checked with other online keyword rank checker tool and all are showing the result similar to the Moz ranking report. It's really frustrating for my client. Google analytics shows that mobile users and organic reach are increasing so I am sure MOZ and other tools are showing us correct result. What could be the possible reason that he is not getting the same result as showing by MOZ? I am not from his location so how can I check the keyword result for the selected city using MOZ that is accurate? Any help would be highly appreciated. Please help. Thanks1 -
How do you use Moz to research related topics?
Like most of the folks here I'm a pretty big fan of the content that comes out through Whiteboard Fridays, and I try to apply the things I learn, but one of the WBF videos that I'm following along with does not do a stellar job of detailing execution using Moz KW Explorer. https://moz.com/blog/related-topics-in-seo-whiteboard-friday Now granted, this came out in 2016, but I still feel the core principle and strategy results in a higher quality piece of content and is still relevant to discovering and understanding searcher task completion requirements, and drafting content that fulfills those requirements. Towards the end Rand sort of mentions that you'll be able to do this with KW explorer, but I'm not really seeing the functionality. The steps I followed were to enter in the keyword in kw explorer, went to keyword suggestions, and selected "based on closely related topics" and ran it, but received no suggestions - came up blank. I then selected "based on broadly related topics" and the same thing happened. I tried this out with the keyword r22, keeping it very broad to start but that didn't seem to work. So what do you all do to perform this sort of research within Moz? Or do you even feel it's relevant in today's Rank Brain driven world?

Moz reporting for C-Blocking
Hey Mozers, I see Moz has a reporting tool for C-blocking and for november I had 330. Does this mean 330 Ip addresses came from the same location in the month of november?
