How fresh is SEOMOZ crawl results ?.
On my report for today I can see that my website ranking for several keywords run manually and individually on Google, Yahoo and bing to be better than the actual SEOMOZ report.
Also have been noticing that Back link count on SEOMOZ report to be significantly less than counted with other sites and software.Can someone advise me on this ?

There are a couple of different components here. The back link count is updated every 2-4 weeks, when Mozscape is updated. We have our own crawler, just as other sites have their own crawlers, so we'll all have different numbers depending on how many URLs we've crawled that cycle.

Hi James,
Thank you for your answer.
The Keywords I am searching for individually are same keywords I input on my SEOMOZ Campaign.
As far as back links Majestic seo is one of the Three that I have used and they show a count 8000 more than SEOMOZ !

SEOmoz rankings are updated weekly, I believe every Thursday. It's possible that you are getting skewed results when doing manual searches due to search personalization. I would attribute the difference in results to either one of these issues.
As for the back link count being less than other sites it's best to consider Open Site Explorer as only one source of data for building your back link profile. To get a better picture of your full back link profile you should also pull your links from Webmaster tools, Majestic SEO, and aHrefs if possible. This will give you a fairly comprehensive look at your link profile.

PDF in search results?
Hello community! I am not an SEO professional, though I am a practitioner, I would say. I am seeking a solution on behalf of a friend. If you search the term "Peter Blatt" you will discover a "black eye" on the first page, towards the bottom of SERPs. It's a PDF published on the Florida Department of Financial Services website regarding the final order for a settlement he and his company ("Blatt Financial Group") reached with the state as it related to professional conduct allegations. Does anyone have any advice on how to address this? I don't want "game" the search engines, but at the same time, this document looks really scary and much worse than it actually is to people, and I would love for it do drop below page one. Any advice or suggestions from the community? Thanks! Tom

We are using Hotlink Protection on our server for jpg mostly. What is moz.com crawl url address so we can allow it in the list of allowed domains? The reason is that the crawl statistics gives our a ton of 403 Forbidden errors. Thanks.

Is there a reason to set a crawl-delay in the robots.txt?
I've recently encountered a site that has set a crawl-delay command set in their robots.txt file. I've never seen a need for this to be set since you can set that in Google Webmaster Tools for Googlebot. They have this command set for all crawlers, which seems odd to me. What are some reasons that someone would want to set it like that? I can't find any good information on it when researching.

Crawl Tool Producing Random URL's
For some reason SEOmoz's crawl tool is returning duplicate content URL's that don't exist on my website. It is returning pages like "mydomain.com/pages/pages/pages/pages/pages/pricing" Nothing like that exists as a URL on my website. Has anyone experienced something similar to this, know what's causing it, or know how I can fix it?
