Still Cant Crawl My Site
-
I've removed all blocks but two from our htaccess. They are for amazonaws.com to block amazon from crawling us.
I did a fetch as google in our WM tools on our robots txt with success.
SEOMoz crawler here hit's our site and gets a 403. I've looks in our blocked request logs and amazon is the only one in there.
What is going on here?

Hey Dana,
We've been corresponding in email, but I just wanted to update your thread here as well.
We don't use Amazon's bot, we use Amazon Web Service to host our crawler. If you are no longer blocking AWS you should be able to crawl OK moving forward.
Thanks!

Wish someone would've pointed that out days ago.
Thank you soooooo much for your great answer.
I don't understand though how or why seomoz is using amazons bot...
What if I don't want amazon accessing our site ( i dont). That means we can't use seomoz then??
-
we'll see how this goes. I've removed the blocks for amazonaws...
Thanks .

Hi Dana,
I believe SEOmoz utilizes Amazonaws services for crawling, (or at least they did a few months ago) so that may well be your problem.
The best (and quickest) way to confirm this is to go to the SEOmoz Help Hub and click the button at the top of the page to contact the Help Team directly.
Hope that helps,
Sha

No link data for my domains + still no adwords data
All 3 sites In my campaign have no link data analysis done. 5 to 6 months after you said you were working on it Adwords data is still not available in Keyword analysis Partial service is understandable for a few days but not for months. Beyond the nice screens, what data & services do you exactly provide and what are we paying for?

Open Site Explorer Twitter Stats
Hi, I have just noticed something within Open Site Explorer. On the page it says it draws the Twitter stats from tweetmeme. I have just noticed that tweetmeme have shut down. Their new product datasift seems to do the same thing, but can someone confirm if SEOMoz is drawing data from them now, or is the current twitter data shown not fully up to date. Its not a major issue, its just something I noticed. Thanks Rich

Comparing with Open Site Explorer
Hi, I am trying to compare a website that has a url of e.g. https://mysite.com on Open Site Explorer. Any idea how to do this? It will only compare it when I use www and it also doesn't accept https. So I am comparing www.mysite.com which has redirects on it https://mysite.com but I am worried it's not comparing the right stats? If this makes sense and you can help it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Seomoz crawling filtered pages
Hi, I just checked an seo campaign we started last week, so I opened seomoz to see the crawl diagnostics. Lot's of duplicate content & duplicate titles showing up, but that's because Rogerbot is crawling all of the filtered pages as well. How do I exclude these pages from being crawled? /product/brand-x/3969?order=brand&sortorder=ASC

Factoring in OBL to Open Site Explorer
Morning all - I've been using Open Site Explorer a fair bit since I signed up to SEOMoz a couple of months ago and found it to be a little different to other tools in the past, so would welcome some thoughts on what I should be looking for when I run reports. For example, I've always thought that Outbound links should be important when deciding whether to place a link on a a particular site, but in OSE I'm only given a Page Ranking and a Domain Ranking. Am I therefore to understand that these two factors outrank OBL and that the number of links on a page don't matter? Or have these been factored into the overall Page rank already? Thanks a lot for your help,

Is The Crawl Diagnostic tool working correctly?
The Crawl Diagnostic tool shows issues and displays a graph but they don't display the page specific results/suggestion like it used to. I get the "Congratulations, there are no pages affected by this issue!" message.

Is there such thing as a site free from errors?
Or is this a given? I am new to SEO and SEOmoz. One of my campaigns is completley free of errors...the others are a work in progress. Now I realize that SEO is never done, but can a site actually be free of errors? If so... I just gave myself a pat on the back.
