Solved Moz Link Explorer slow to find external links
-
I have a site with 48 linking domains and 200 total links showing in Google Search Console. These are legit and good quality links.
Since creating a campaign 2 months ago, Moz link explorer for the same site only shows me 2 linking domains and 3 total links.
I realise Moz cannot crawl with the same speed and depth as Google but this is poor performance for a premium product and doesn't remotely reflect the link profile of the domain.
Is there a way to submit a sitemap or list of links to Moz for the purpose of crawling and adding to Link Explorer?

Is there a way to submit a sitemap or list of links to Moz for the purpose of crawling and adding to Link Explorer?Yes, Moz offers a feature called "Link Tracking Lists" that allows users to submit a list of URLs for tracking in Link Explorer. Here's how you can do it:
Log in to your Moz account and navigate to the "Link Explorer" tool.
Click on "Add a New Tracking List" or "Create a New List" (depending on the interface).
Enter a name for your tracking list and add the URLs you want to track. You can enter individual URLs or upload a CSV file containing a list of URLs.
Once you've added the URLs, Moz will begin crawling and tracking those links in Link Explorer.
Keep in mind that while this feature allows you to track specific URLs, it may not guarantee immediate or comprehensive coverage of all links. Moz's crawling capabilities may vary compared to search engines like Google.
By utilizing the Link Tracking Lists feature, you can submit specific URLs or a list of links to Moz for crawling and inclusion in Link Explorer, which can provide additional insights into your site's link profile beyond what is automatically discovered by Moz's regular crawling process.

Even though Moz's tool doesn't search websites as thoroughly or quickly as Google does, the fact that it's not showing all your links is worrying.

Unsolved What would the exact text be for robots.txt to stop Moz crawling a subdomain?

Dynamic Canonical Tag for Search Results Filtering Page
Hi everyone, I run a website in the travel industry where most users land on a location page (e.g. domain.com/product/location, before performing a search by selecting dates and times. This then takes them to a pre filtered dynamic search results page with options for their selected location on a separate URL (e.g. /book/results). The /book/results page can only be accessed on our website by performing a search, and URL's with search parameters from this page have never been indexed in the past. We work with some large partners who use our booking engine who have recently started linking to these pre filtered search results pages. This is not being done on a large scale and at present we only have a couple of hundred of these search results pages indexed. I could easily add a noindex or self-referencing canonical tag to the /book/results page to remove them, however it’s been suggested that adding a dynamic canonical tag to our pre filtered results pages pointing to the location page (based on the location information in the query string) could be beneficial for the SEO of our location pages. This makes sense as the partner websites that link to our /book/results page are very high authority and any way that this could be passed to our location pages (which are our most important in terms of rankings) sounds good, however I have a couple of concerns. • Is using a dynamic canonical tag in this way considered spammy / manipulative? • Whilst all the content that appears on the pre filtered /book/results page is present on the static location page where the search initiates and which the canonical tag would point to, it is presented differently and there is a lot more content on the static location page that isn’t present on the /book/results page. Is this likely to see the canonical tag being ignored / link equity not being passed as hoped, and are there greater risks to this that I should be worried about? I can’t find many examples of other sites where this has been implemented but the closest would probably be booking.com. https://www.booking.com/searchresults.it.html?label=gen173nr-1FCAEoggI46AdIM1gEaFCIAQGYARS4ARfIAQzYAQHoAQH4AQuIAgGoAgO4ArajrpcGwAIB0gIkYmUxYjNlZWMtYWQzMi00NWJmLTk5NTItNzY1MzljZTVhOTk02AIG4AIB&sid=d4030ebf4f04bb7ddcb2b04d1bade521&dest_id=-2601889&dest_type=city& Canonical points to https://www.booking.com/city/gb/london.it.html In our scenario however there is a greater difference between the content on both pages (and booking.com have a load of search results pages indexed which is not what we’re looking for) Would be great to get any feedback on this before I rule it out. Thanks!

Why is there difference in keywords of moz and ahrefs
Hello, my welding helmets website Helmet Adviser is about reviews and is causing me confusion. When I check my site keywords in Moz it shows lesser keywords and when I check in ahrefs it shows more. Same is for backlinks. But Moz keywords research is very authentic and i want to rely on it for keywords and backlinks too. Please elaborate for me why is there diff between Moz and ahref, so I can better utilize Moz by understanding what is going on in the background.

6 Months and still no PA/DA or links by Moz Explorer?
Hi, It's been 6 months and my site is still showing no PA/DA or backlinks according to moz opensite explorer. I know that it has backlinks as I created them myself, and I know its crawlable and the links is there as GWT tells me so. Also you can check for yourself on ahrefs.com. Is Moz indexed pages that much smaller then the other crawlers? The site in question is amanandvan247.com. Thanks.
