Find 404 errors
-
Seomoz is currently reporting 404-errors, without saying where these errors are found.
What good is this report when it does'nt say a word about where I can find the page linking to the 404?
Screen: http://filer.crenia.no/NJPZ
I really think it's time for Seomoz to prioritize upgrading the pro tools. Feels like they haven't been updated in ages..

This would be a great addition to our web tools! Thanks so much for the suggestions. I can absolutely see how valuable this would be.
Must suggestion would be posting this as a feature suggestion. Here's the feature request forum we use to collect ideas:
http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests
The teams at SEOmoz pay close attention to these requests and we make additions and updates to our tools often based on submissions just like these. I hope this will help.

If your site is under 3000 pages you can use this tool
it shows you the broken link, and the page and where in the source code the broken link is on that page.

Keri, given that this kind of question comes up so often, why not at least put a note on the report pages indicating that significantly more complete data is available in the CSV exports than can be shown in the tool itself?
If the data's there but in a non-obvious place, the page needs to do a better job of explaining that to the user.

We understand your frustration, and know that having to download the CSV to find the 404 errors isn't the most obvious solution. It is on our list of things to work on. We do have some upgrades coming in the future, never fear!

Hi Ignitas,
To get some insights into what urls are linking to a 404 page the best would be to export your Crawl Diagnostics to CSV. These files contain the urls linking to your pages.
Hope this helps a bit! But I would still suggest to the Moz team to include this feature within the PRO tools.

Campaign report errors
one of the heavily noted errors for the first crawl of our domain was duplicate titles. I did not see a list of the pages and their current titles, but i am pretty sure it is somewhere to be found. That would help focus the work to do. Am I wrong about that?

Why am I getting duplicate content errors on same page?
In the SEOmoz tools I am getting multiple errors for duplicate page content and duplicate page titles for one section on my site. When I check to see which page has the duplicate title/content the url listed is exactly the same. All sections are set up the same, so any ideas on why I would be getting duplication errors in just this one section and why they would say the errors are on the same page (when I only have one copy uploaded on the server)?

HTTP 404 for 404-page?
Hi Mozzers! SEOmoz just finished crawling one of my websites and this crawl found 3 errors. One of these errors was the (custom) 404-page, because of the http-status 404. What's you suggestion about this? Should a 404-page have a status 404? Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Dismiss crawl diagnostics error
Hello everyone, Is there a way to dismiss some errors in the Crawl Diagnostics tool so they don't appear again? It happens so that some of the errors are never going to be fixed because of their nature. For example, 'Title too long' errors that point to some of the threads on my forum - it doesn't make sense to change the title of a thread posted by user just for the sake of the error disappearing from the 'Crawl Diagnostics' tool. 🙂 Otherwise the CD interface gets a little bit cluttered with errors which I will never fix anyway. I wonder how others deal with this problem. Thanks.

SEOMoz's Crawl Diagnostics showing an error where the Title is missing on our Sitemap.xml file?
Hi Everyone, I'm working on our website Sky Candle and I've been running it as a campaign in SEOmoz. I've corrected a few errors we had with the site previously, but today it's recrawled and found a new error which is a missing Title tag on the sitemap.xml file. Is this a little glitch in the SEOmoz system? Or do I need to add a page title and meta description to my XML file. http://www.skycandle.co.uk/sitemap.xml Any help would be greatly appreciated. I didn't think I'd need to add this. Kind Regards Lewis

Error 403
I'm getting this message "We were unable to grade that page. We received a response code of 403. URL content not parseable" when using the On-Page Report Card. Does anyone know how to go about fixing this? I feel like I've tried everything.
