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?
-
Thanks. I assume then that they have no weight with regards building domain authority (as opposed to in-context links from high quality websites)?
-
No. Social media links are not considered inbound links in Moz (or other link tools for that matter).

Moz was unable to crawl your site on Jun 22, 2020\. We were unable to access your site due to a page timeout on your robots.txt, which prevented us from crawling the rest of your site.
Site: www.kpmg.us Getting robots.txt timeout fail since 02/29/20. We've checked our server logs and see no errors. Went through all the steps of the "Troubleshooter". Updated robots.txt to allow rogerbot full access: User-agent: rogerbot

Can MOZ keyword explorer output sentences instead keywords?
Can MOZ keyword explorer output sentences instead keywords? We need to optimize our website for the Knowledge Graph (OG). There was an old tool that does it, but I can't remember its name.

Moz showing +3M new inbound links. But nowhere to find them?
Hi there Moz is showing a +3M backlink rise in the dashboard for one of our domains. The site has always had around 350K backlinks and in Ahrefs and Majestic it still shows this number. But Moz shows a growth of +3M in the last two weeks. Is there a way to see where these backlinks come from in OSE? I can't seem to understand how it is possible to see this somehow. Can it be a mistake of Moz maybe?

403 errors in Moz but not in Google Search Console
Hello, Moz is showing that one of the sites I manage has about ten 403 errors on main pages, including the home page. But when I go to Google Search Console, I'm not getting any 403 errors. I don't know too much about this site (I handle the SEO for a few sites as a contractor for a digital marketing agency), but I can see that it's a WordPress site (I'm not sure if that's relevant). Can I assume this a Moz issue only? Thanks, Susannah Noel

Hi all, I am using Moz Crawl to analyze some sites I am having to optimize.
Link Explorer | | Eurasmus.com
I keep seeing many of my pages detected as duplicate content when they have the rel=canonical applied. Example: www.spain-internship.com/zh-CN/blog-by-aaron
I have seen that in other sites. Of course I understand that Moz is not perfect but, is there a known issue or am I doing something wrong with the canonicals? Regards,0 -

SEOmoz not showing latest backlinks
Hi, How come open site explore(come with SEOmoz tool) not showing new backlinks created by me a month ago? I faced same issue while using other tools for the same. All of them show up old backlinks but not the new ones created recently. However, the Google Webmaster Tool updates me with this recent development. Any reason?
