Big dip in errors last week?
-
Hi,
I have a client who has seen a big dip in their errors, warnings and notices - pretty much consistently across all - then they popped right back up the next week.
Is it possible it was a crawl error? What is the best approach to trouble shoot and find out why this happened? As far as they know, nothing major changed on their end.
Thanks!

Hello Becky, Abe here at Moz. Matt could be right about changes to the website causing the sudden dip. I have seen a drop like that take place several times when some minor changes have been made. Sometimes when pages are temporarily hidden from our crawler, we would fail to report any errors during that crawl. If you are seeing a discrepancy or something seems totally off, never hesitate to contact us at help@moz.com. We can always dig in and get our engineers involved to ensure it wouldn't be a bug or error on our part.

Did your client change there website or hosting at all when the dip occurred?
If the client hasn't made any changes to there website during that time period where there was a dip and a week prior (MOZ crawl is once a week on Wednesday). I'd say it would be a crawl error.

Erroneous 404 Errors?
On a New Rankings & Insights email I got today, one of our sites showed over 50 404 errors totally 49% of the site. When viewing the details, every one of the errors shows the URL in the following structure: http://domainname.com/page/domainname.com. I'm not sure why this is happening, but the site and all of its pages are fine. We were having an SSL issue, but that is cleared up now. I just ran a crawl report and all checked out ok, but there were no result in the .csv file that concatenated the domain name to the end of the URL string. That doesn't seem like it would be the issue, but it's the only issue we were aware of with this site. This is the only site of ours that this is happening to. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this happened? Thank you.

Can you adjust the timeframe from weekly to monthly in the Dashboard Overview report?
I am looking to adjust the metrics displayed in the dashboard Overview report and the other subsequent reports to display a monthly time frame instead of a weekly time frame. I see the pull down bar that looks like I should be able to adjust the time frame but only weekly is given as an option. I do not know if this is specific to my account, that is, I am running on a subscription that only allows for weekly metrics. Thank you, Jon

New website launched 3 weeks ago but not sure what Moz Analysis is telling me?
Hi 3 weeks ago I re-branded and completely changed the proposition on www.over50choices.co.uk as the URL is appropriate to the proposition. And whilst it looks good I am unsure what the Moz Tools are telling me, other than it doesnt look good? There should be about 163 pages, but Moz reports over 500 due to i think so many 301's? Plus most pages under the HTTP Status reports No Data! Most of the the 404's are from the old site. Webmaster Tools say 163 pages submitted but only 2 indexed, but on site:search it says about 117 but 40+ of these are the old site. It looks a mess...! Sleepless nights have started - any thoughts!? Thanks Ash
