How can I get a Moz crawl report of 404 errors on my site
-
I have a Moz subscription and I see dead links on my website that link externally.
Is there a Moz crawl report which will show me these 404 errors and which pages on my site those 404 links are on?

I started to answer this one way, but then I looked again and you were looking for links from your website to external sites that are broken, yes? I do not know of a way to do this on Moz (though you can look at broken internal links), but you can do this with Screaming Frog. (A great resource to have for a lot of things...)

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out!
You can see 404 errors for your own domain in the Crawl Diagnostics section, and you can see broken links which are linking to your site by running a 'Top Pages' report that specifies 4XX HTTP status through Open Site Explorer. However, it sounds like you're looking for the broken links on your site which are linking to 404 errors.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a quick way to get all of that info in one report. You could run the Open Site Explorer report from above for domains that you know you are linking to, but other than that I don't think there is another tool we have for that. I apologize, but I hope this helps! Have a great day!

Crawling 4XX errors because of URL accented
Hello guys, I am experiencing crawling errors in Moz because the URLs read by spiders contain accents and special characters, which I know isn't best but yet my client needs to keep it. I know that Moz "uses percent encoding to parse the HTML in the source code, so any line breaks and spaces in your HTML links or sitemap links are converted to %0A and %20, causing a 404 error". Is there any way to avoid these errors happening in the dashboard? Or am I supposed to simply ignore it?

Does the Moz Pro site crawl, crawl password protected sites?

Page Authority different between Moz Open Site Explorer and On Page analyser
I have a client who has an old URL with 3 linking root domains and 4 links, with a PA of 24. This is on the open site explorer. There is a 301 redirect in place to direct this old url to the new url. When he uses the Moz bar on page, it shows that he has a PA of only 1 with no LRDs or inbound links? Can anyone please explain why this is happening and if this could affect further page links across his site? It would be appreciated. Kind regards

MOZ competitor analysis tool
Hi Guys Has anyone also noticed that the MOZ competitor analysis tool does not always pick up on all back-links? If I put two competitors into MOZ and Ahrefs I get so many more back-link info from Ahrefs. Has anyone else experienced the same issue? Thanks Jon

Do other sites linking to my page with a low domain authority affect my rankings?
Hello, my page authority 30, I see other page with an authority of 21 for example linking to us. Is this good or bad, does this affect our ranking? A lot of these don't have anchor text, I'm guessing we should reach out to these webmaster to include anchor text with the keywords we want to drive traffic to this page or make as descriptive as possible? Thanks! Laura
