Connect to Google Analytics problem (Moz Analytics)
-
Hello - I recently received the Beta invite to Moz Analytics (very excited). I set up the campaign for our primary site and entered our Google Analytics profile - however, Moz does not seem to accept the profile when I click the "Save" button. All of our profiles are listed w/in the drop-down menu, but after selecting the profile we wish to link/connect to - nothing happens. So we're not receiving any stats w/in Moz from our GA acct.
Please help. I'm really anxious to begin delving into Moz Analytics!
Thanks

Hi Keri
I have managed to connect my GA account a few days back (on Oct 12 I believe) but most of MOZ analytics pages are still showing:
"We are collecting your data now. Check back within 24 hours."
Is this normal? If not what can I do to fix it or could you put me in touch with support?
Thank you vm

Hi Ryan,
Have you followed up with the support ticket that Peter started? That's the best place for an individual issue like this. Thanks!
-
Still unresolved. Moz Support - please flag this as still an open issue.
-
For those who had a problem connecting in the last few hours, please try again. We did have a GA problem overnight that's been fixed. Thanks for your patience!

I'm still not able to connect to my GA account. I see the list of available GA profiles for my GA account listed in the drop-down menu w/in the Google Analytics section of the Traffic Settings. But, as soon as I select the profile I want to connect to, the "Save" button doesn't work.
Moz staff, please help!

I had a situation at a different site that required me to connect my GA account.
My business website's GA profile used to be linked from my personal Google Account. After incorporating as a company, I created a new Google Account and created a fresh GA profile. So I had two tags. When using that other tool, I accidentally connected my personal GA account whose tag was no longer on my business site and it didn't seem to do anything.
It was just something to consider if you were in such a situation.
-
It appears you need to Disconnect from GA and then Reconnect to make it work.
-
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "and the site has tags of the second account"?
-
Do you possibly have more than one GA account and the site has tags of the second account, i.e. other than the one you are trying to connect?
-
I'm also having a problem with GA. I get a message for all of my accounts that I need to update the GA connection. I go to Setup and click Update. However I keep getting the message that I need to update the GA connection.

I bought a domain name https://ez1.in and it has a high MOZ spam score. Although it is because of the previous webmaster who used this domain as a URL shortening website. But now I am using it as a service delivery website. I wanted to know once a domain is deleted and ready to resell MOZ doesn't update its Spam score? Or it has periodic updates that are scheduled? How does the whole process work?

Problem with Keyword Explorer?
Is anyone else having an issue Keyword Explorer? I'm added keywords to lists but there are a couple of problems: The metrics are taking a long time to come through. I.e: at least 10-15 minutes When I try to export my keyword list a completely different keyword export appears When I try to refresh the explorer, my keywords are removed from the list and replaced some keywords/phrases that are completely unrelated Any insight would be appreciated 🙂

Why is Moz Crawling More Pages Than My Site Actually Has?
Hi I have a site that only has 5k pages but Moz has crawled 50K pages on the site when I initiated the site crawl. I don't exactly know why Moz is reporting me back so many pages but I was wondering why this is and if any of you out in the Moz community know anything about this. Thanks

Canonical in Moz crawl report
I'm wondering if the moz bot is seeing my rel="canonical" on my pages. There are 2 notices that are bothering me: Overly Dynamic URL Rel Canonical Overly Dynamic URL - This notice is being generated by urls with query strings. On the main page I have the rel="canonical" tag in the header. So every page with the query string has the canonical tag that points to the page that should be indexed. So my question...Why the notice? Isn't this being handled properly with the canonical tag? I know I can use my robots.txt or the tool in Google search console but is it really necessary when I have the canonical on every page? Here is one of the links that has the "Overly Dynamic URL" notice, as you can see the the canonical in the header points to the page without the query string: https://www.vistex.com/services/training/traditional-classroom/registration-form/?values=true&course-title=DMP101 – Data Maintenance Pricing – Business Processes&date=March 14, 2016 Rel Canonical - Every page in my report has this notice "Using rel=canonical suggests to search engines which URL should be seen as canonical". I'm using the rel="canonical" tag on all of my pages by default. Is the report suggesting that I don't do this? Or is it suggesting that I should? Again...why the notice?

Is Moz going to provide mobile ranking tools?
With the mobilegeddon update quickly approaching us on April 21, I wanted to know if Moz is going to provide any insight into mobile rankings vs. desktop rankings? Are there any other tools we can use to benchmark and gain insight into this kind of data?

Google Analytics keeps disconnecting, requires "Reauthorization"
I have many campaigns connected to our Google Analytics account (all websites in same GA account) but I keep getting the message "Our connection to your Google Analytics account was lost. Don't worry, you won't lose any data. Please reauthorize now.". I go through the motions of "reauthorizing" and it tells me I'm successful. Minutes later it gives me the same message. I even keep my GA account logged in on the same computer, trying to avoid this. As a result, I'm not getting my Analytics data in my campaign. Help!

Moz Crawl Test: Referrer is sitemap.gz?
Hi,
Moz Bar | | Titan552
I'm looking at a crawl test report, and I'm seeing that most of the pages have the sitemamp.gz file listed as the referrer. As I recall in my other reports the referrer is usually the root domain - unless of course there's a redirect. Does having sitemap.gz as the referrer indicate a problem? If so, what problem does it indicate? Thanks!0 -
