Error on SEOMoz When Trying to Track Website. Please Advise
-
Hi,
I'm trying to start a new campaign for a root domain, but I'm getting the "Roger found an error" and am not sure what to make of it.
Error #1: "You've decided to set up a root domain campaign, but entered the subdomain path: www.siteurl.com.
Don't worry, we'll switch that for you and crawl everything on the subdomain: www.siteurl.com.
If you meant to set this up to only crawl pages in the root domain, click 'Go back and Change" and enter a root domain URL in step 1."
Error #2: "Oops! The root domain siteurl.com redirects to a domain that is not within the specified root domain (www.siteurl.com). This will cause us to stop crawling as the first discovered page falls outside of the root domain you've defined. Please make sure you enter a root domain that resolves to a page that is under the root domain."
What does this mean? Is there something I am doing wrong? The first error is what returned when I input www.siteurl.com. The second was returned when I put just siteurl.com.
I didn't put up the exact URL for privacy reasons, but if you really do want to help me out, PM me and I can give you the real URL.
Thanks in advance!

Hey there,
Sorry for the trouble getting this set up. It's possible that you could click Continue, and setup would continue just fine.
I am happy to look into this more for you, but will need more specific information from you to do that. If you can email that information to help[at]seomoz.org with Attn: Joel in the subject, I can get back to you with more specific help. Please include screenshots if possible.
Thanks. Look forward to hearing from you.
Joel

How to Fix 404 Errors
Hey Moz'ers - I just added a new site to my Moz Pro account and when I got the crawl report back there was a ton of 404 errors (see attached). I realize the best way to fix these is to manually go through every single error and see what the issue is... I just don't have time right now, and I don't have a team member that can jump on this either, but realize this will be a huge boost to this client if/when I get these resolved... So my question is: Is there a quicker way to get these resolved? Is there an outsourcing company that can fix my clients errors correctly? Thanks for the help in advance:) wBhzEeV

Ability to track previous PA?
Hi Mozzers, I know I am able to view my DA over time, but how about my Page Authority? I have no problem tracking this on my own in excel, but it would be nice if I could find a historical record of our PA for certain pages so I have something to reference. Thanks!

Difference between SEOmoz Pro and Mozscape API
Hi, I probably put this question in a wrong category, so I'd like to ask again. I am new in SEOmoz and writing this from Japan.

I have couple of questions and really appriciate if you can help me to understand SEOmoz. better. First of all, what is the difference between SEOmoz Pro and Mozscape API? I signed up for 30days free trial and now continue being $99 PROmember.
Is that correct that rate limit is one request every 2 seconds with PRO? and also want to know about free API that I found after signed up for PRO.
Is there any restrictions on free API except for rate limit is one request every 10 seconds? The main reason I signed up for SEOmoz was to use the API link metrics, and because of the language I got really confused now.0 -

SEOMoz Q&A having some issues?
Apologies if this has been asked. I was browsing Q&A and got a Ruby error page, reloaded and everything was fine. However a bunch of the topics are kind of messed up, and it looks like a chunk of them are missing now. For example my 'questions I've answered' section of My Q&A only has the newest question and the oldest question, and when I sort the SEOMoz Tools category by newest I get one recent post and then the next one is from November of last year. You guys having database problems?

Crawl Diagnostics Error Spike
With the last crawl update to one of my sites there was a huge spike in errors reported. The errors jumped by 16,659 -- majority of which are under the duplicate title and duplicate content category. When I look at the specific issues it seems that the crawler is crawling a ton of blank pages on the sites blog through pagination. The odd thing is that the site has not been updated in a while and prior to this crawl on Jun 4th there were no reports of these blank pages. Is this something that can be an error on the crawler side of things? Any suggestions on next steps would be greatly appreciated. I'm adding an image of the error spike Xovep.jpg?1 Xovep.jpg?1

Exporting ranking stats; errors
previously, when I went to export the weekly rank stats, the csv opened into excel and everything was fine. This week, one campaign data will not export other than purely in comma deliniated and will not translate to colums in ecel. A second campaign does export directly to excel but the data showing (on 27th June) is for the 22 february (report created march 1). so all my spread sheets for position analysis are up the creek and I cant even get last weeks positional report on my key domain. any thoughts??
