Angular SPA & MOZ Crawl Issues
-
Website: https://www.exambazaar.com/
Issue: Domain Authority & Page Authority 1/100
I am using Prerender to cache/render static pages to crawl agents but MOZ is not able to crawl through my website (https://www.exambazaar.com/). Hence I think it has a domain authority of 1/100. I have been in touch with Prerender support to find a fix for the same and have also added dotbot to the list of crawler agents in addition to Prerender default list which includes rogerbot. Do you have any suggestions to fix this?
List: https://github.com/prerender/prerender-node/commit/5e9044e3f5c7a3bad536d86d26666c0d868bdfff
Adding dotbot to Express Server:
prerender.crawlerUserAgents.push('dotbot'); -

I will try that technique. We use something similar for the title but in the Angular app.js file, however have struggled to do the same for the description, canonical tags etc.
Actually right now we add the tags we need in Javascript, using the DOM and prerender and google seems to like it. We can;t run a crawl any longer in the std Moz package for some reason we can only do one per week now. Moz doesn't seem to cope too well with the Javascript though. When we tried other tools it seemed to c heck out fine.
I'm not sure if it is Moz crawlers that are causing us the issue here, anyway!
We're also still using Angular 1.6 so we really need to upgrade to v4 or at least 2.

Hi Dave
Thanks for asking. You can set the pageDescription variable (similarly for other meta tags) in each route/state of the SPA which gets cached by Prerender. If you are using prerender you can see the list of default crawler agents supported here: https://github.com/prerender/prerender-node/commit/5e9044e3f5c7a3bad536d86d26666c0d868bdfff
If you wish you can enable prerender for the crawler dotbot too!

Hi Gaurav
We're also launching a new MEAN SPA, We've gotten our site looking quite good for SEO now, other than the meta description and canonical tags.
However I believe the MOZ crawler still doesn't understand javascript, we use AngularJS or JQEURY to change and add the meat tags for each page, which I am confident is OK with Google but MOZ and SEMRush don't like it.
That could be something to do with the lower score on Moz?
Do you mind me asking how do you set your page meta descriptions and canonical tags?

Hey, Dave from the Help Team here!
I just ran your site through our crawler and didn't have any issues crawling your site. I think the Domain Authority score of 1/100 is actually caused by us not having your site in our Mozscape Index. To find out more about how we Index the web, you can read about it here

Hopefully that helps to clarify, let us know if you need anything else!

Internal Equity-Passing Links not getting crawled in Moz Open Site Explorer?
Internal Equity-Passing Links not getting crawled in Moz Open Site Explorer. What is the cause of this? We've checked the robots.txt and htaccess file, but so far we can't find anything that would be blocking Moz from crawling the internal links. We manage loads of other clients on this platform and this is the first time we've run into this issue. What else can I check?

Inbound links not found in Moz Pro(though they exist)
These sites have many inbound links but Moz Pro finds no such links. I also used SimilarWebPro Trial to confirm the existing of such links. (these sites have IP block so it requires an VPN to access with Japan IP) osakado.cc

oskd.biz Could anyone figure out why Moz can't find those links to those sites? Any tricks in place to hide those links from SeoMoz? If I pay to upgrade SimilarWebPro but Id rather stay with SeoMoz Pro. thanks in advance.0 -
Low Internal Equity-Passing Links: Open Ste Explorer Issue
Does anyone know why Open Site Explorer shows so few Internal Equity Passing Links? When a page is part of the main navigation of a website and the website has over 3500 pages indexed in Google with high DA's why would the Open Site Explorer number be so low? I have run scans on other tools and see a much larger number than OSE reports. Thoughts? Has anyone else ever experienced that?

Site moved to https and not showing any Moz DA or PA
Hello Fellow Mozzers, So, I have a client site that we moved from non https to https at the end of 2015. We had decent moz numbers (Da/Pa etc) but now we are only showing a 1 for both of them. Does it usually take time for Moz to carry over the info to the https version or does that process entirely start over? Not sure where to start looking. Cheers D
