My blog goes back to 2005 and occasionally I find outbound links on old posts that now generate a 404 error.

Is there a Moz tool that can find and report on such errors? If not, are there other tools you can recommend?

  Thanks for reaching out to us!
  
  Unfortunately we only provide a way of viewing broken inbound links, with regards to broken outbound links I would recommend checking out this forum post: https://moz.com/community/q/how-to-solve-outbound-broken-links-those-don-t-exist-now
  
  Feel free to reach out to help@moz.com with any further questions,

Can building quality links on internal pages help us to improve DA?

Dear expert,
I hope that you all are fine 🙂
Today, I am very confused about improving DA of my client website. For example: He has a domain www.abc.com
and he wants me to build a backlinks on different internal pages like
www.abc.com/service-1
www.abc.com/service-2
www.abc.com/service-3 If i build high quality links on internal pages (service pages) rather than building links on main domain (home page). Does the Domain Authority will increase
OR
I have to build links on Main page to boost the DA I am hoping a positive reply from your side Thanks

Performed a Moz Crawl Test - Says I have 107 External Links on Homepage??

Hello Mozzers! Exactly at the title suggests, I performed a crawl test on one our sites and the report says we have 107 external links on the homepage and another 34 on one of our internal category pages. On both of these pages I can only find 7 external links, anyone know why the crawl test is saying this? And if Moz is finding these external links could google be doing the same and punishing our site for the high number of external links? Any response appreciated! Richard

We Launched a new site and Rogerbot is still reporting on links/errors from the old site, is there a way to clear those out?

We are mostly a Branding agency, and have not put a lot of effort into SEO for ourselves... SEO tends to take a backseat to design most of the time, making it a little difficult for me at times when it comes to SEO. We recently launched a new site, http://Roninadv.com/ and the developer and I have done quite a bit of work to make it work well for Google. I was really looking forward to a new crawl report from Roger, but alas, It's like Roger crawled the old site? The new site has been up since last Monday. Is there a way to clear out the old errors? Do I just need to give roger more time?

Since the revised website was launched, I can't find the "Crawl Test" function showing Titles and Descriptions of other websites. Anyone know where that link is located?

MOZ can "crawl" any website and show information like Title, Description, etc.....Can't find that link.
