How do get Moz to spider a Development site PRE LAUNCH?
-
Hi,
Does anyone know how we could get Moz to browse a development site before launch? But without Google and other engines indexing it?
Thanks

That would do it! Try this in robots.txt:
User-agent: Rogerbot
Disallow:User-agent: *
Disallow: /Keep in mind that this will only block crawlers that obey robots.txt. Once Roger crawls your site, it may be a good idea to lock the dev site down entirely.

Well, you could block Google and Bing from crawling your website (via Robots.txt) and run a Crawl via Moz, that's possible I think.

Hi there, I'm new to Moz. I work for a furniture retailer and I'm in the process of auditing our digital presence and improving how we appear on Google and therefore to our customers.

Does Moz Analytics need Google Analytics installed?
I have a few websites on my Moz Analytics account but only have data for one of them. All my other accounts keepy saying come back in 24hrs for more data, although there is no data available. Do I need to connect each account with Google Analytics before Moz populates its own analytics?
