Redirect analysis tool
-
I'm looking for a tool like this:
http://www.internetofficer.com/seo-tool/redirect-check/
that can check hundreds/thousands of URLs and give me a report as to which ones have been redirected.
Does anyone know of something that can do this?

Hey John,
I presume you're more interested in external links that are pointing to URL's that are 302'd (temporary redirected) since they are basically missed opportunity along with those URL's that are broken.
Finding both are pretty easy to accomplish once you've run the SEOmoz crawl report. Once its done it should show up here. Download the report and open in excel.
When open, setup the following column filters based on section titles on row 6:
1. Filter to only show URL's that have external links pointing at them (column AO on my report)
2. Filter to only show 302 redirects (column S on my report)
3. Take note of resulting list which are those pages that have temp redirects AND which have external links pointing at them.
4. Now remove the 302 filter and apply filters for 4XX and 5XX "client errors" to find URL's that appear broken to the engines AND which have in-bound external links.
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Stefan

I ran the test yesterday using the SEO Webcrawler Crawl Test. The URL.
The site I scanned was a site with three pages on the domain and several thousand external links. My goal is to find out if the external links are pointing at 301's or are broken.
How do I do this with this tool?

A crawl of a website will do this such as the crawl test tool from SEOmoz. This will crawl up to 3,000 pages and can be found under the research tools tab.
Alternatively you could use the Screaming Frog SEO Spider which will crawl 500 urls for free or for £99 a year, the 500 url limit is removed.
Both crawl reports will give you detailed info about redirects.
Adam.

How could I improve my "brand" and "mentions" using the Moz tool?
Hello I am a bit stuck on what to put into this section of MOZ. As you can see from the attached image I have setup to catch any mention of my business name and root url. But beyond that I am uncertain of what to use to monitor who is talking about us. I'm also uncertain of what other abilities or usefulness this function would have. aOq7wVg.png

Could SEOMOZ make a tool thats connected directly to Webmaster Tools?
Could SEOMOZ make a tool that Crawls Internal Links that's connected (or crawls) directly from Webmaster Tools? (So link metrics on our domains would get updates more often) This would eliminate the cost of crawling the entire internet. I hate having to wait a month to see updates on my domain metrics and links. I would like to see updates regularly on my own domain. I understand you can just look at Webmaster tools to see your latest links but they don't have any link metrics. So it’s difficult to see your best links. If this already exists please refer me? Otherwise please show your support for this being developed?

"Rank Tracker Tool" is not agreeing with "Keyword Difficulty Tool"
I usually don't sweat a lot for ranks and such but last couple of days, our rankings have been moving drastically. 'Rank Tracker' shows 1st position for many keywords and the "keyword difficulty tool" shows 2nd and 3rd positions. Is is just me or this is a common thing?
