MOZ Crawler
-
Hi,
how much time it will take MOZ crawler to take entire site? In 24 hours it crawled only 500 pages isn't it too slow? My website has almost 50k pages.

Thank you!

Yeah it will take a while but it's necessarily slow. Moz's crawler has to share bandwidth with your real, human users. If they crawl your site too fast they could lag your site or accidentally DDoS you or something
Since it's a paid for service, I'm guessing that Moz err on the side of caution with Rogerbot and don't crawl insanely fast. I know that Rogerbot supports adding a crawl delay to make the crawling even slower:
https://moz.com/help/moz-procedures/crawlers/rogerbot
But I don't think there are any 'go faster' commands. Whilst I really like Moz's crawler I tend to find that the SEMRush one is faster for on-site stuff, though it does have URL crawling caps
To be honest, just get Screaming Frog and learn how to use that. Now that it has a database storage mode (instead of maniacally trying to store all the crawl data in the RAM) - it probably could crawl all 50K URLs. It could probably do it faster than Rogerbot, though you wouldn't wanna go nutty as you could easily DDoS yourself :')

Spam score very high but it's not clear in MOZ, it looks like a bucle
Hey there, I've a problem with this domain www.cornerjob.com In OSE just saw a spam score very high and so, I tried to see backlinks' profile in order to find suspicious backlinks. But in OSE there's a bucle, I mean: I know my domain has a high spam score but I cannot see any bad backlinks, actually the only one I see it's the same www.cornerjob.com...for that, It's a bucle. I tried to use other tools but I wasn't able to see backlinks, actually we don't have many. What Should I do in order to fix it? What does spam score mean? Thanks in advance Francesca

When using Moz Pro do I want Google-UK or -GB as default and why?
Hi. When using Moz Pro, I always select Google UK as default search with GB and US next. Is there a reason to choose one over the other? If so why? I am UK based and so are my clients. Thanks

Best Way to Seemlessly Use Moz and Google Analytics
Hi All, I have Moz Pro and I am beginning to explore Moz Analytics. I currently use Google Analytics for pretty much everything and I am almost at expert level at using the GA interface so I'm ready to learn a new tool and have a second source of data! My question is: what's the best way to get the most of Moz Analytics and GA congruently? Off hand I know that Moz's keyword, rank, and link data, including competitive insights, is more comprehensive than GA. But how else can I use Moz and get the most out of the Moz Analytics? Looking to really dive in and discuss how we can make use of both! Thanks - Vee

Will moz crawl pages blocked by robots.txt and nofollow links?
i have over 2,000 temporary redirects in my campaign report redirects are mostly events like being redirected to a login page before showing the actual data im thinking of adding nofollow on the link so moz wont crawl the redirection to reduce the notification will this solve my problem?

Can I see when SEO Moz has crawled my website?
I would like to know if it's possible to see (maybe in my Google Analytics) if SEO Moz has crawled my website. I'm also curious if and where I can see when the robot of Google visited my website. Thanks!

What user agent is used by SEOMOZ crawler?
We have a pretty tight robots.txt file in place to only allow the major search engines. I do not want to block SEOMOZ.ORG from being able to crawl the site so I want to make sure the user agent is open.
