Why does it take so long to generate CSV reports from OSE?
-
My CSV reports are taking so long to generate, that I'm unable to deliver analysis that I need to deliver today. How can it take so long to create a CSV document for a report that took seconds to generate on screen?
How can I justify my subscription for a product that doesn't deliver? I do have to justify it. I feel so let down.

Thank you for the feedback Tim. We have added a note to OSE when you run a report that exports are running behind, as well as to the recent CSV reports page. Hopefully this will help people in this situation in the next couple of days. This morning's internal status report showed that we are getting ahead on the reports and things are starting to move a little faster now.

Thanks for the insight Michael. Keri, I understand problems do arise from time to time, it would be great to know there's a problem as early as possible to spare the time and frustration trying to export the reports - and more importantly so I can set expectations with clients and colleagues. It caught me at a time I was due to prepare some link profile analysis for a potential client, which is why I felt let down. Thanks for your responses, I do appreciate them.

We actually are running behind on exporting reports right now (I don't know the reason why right now, but there is a team working on that). It may take a few days to get everything caught up. They usually are much faster. We're in the middle of adding a message to OSE to let people know about the delay. I really do apologize for this, and realize it's a pain when something you rely on isn't working.

I can answer that question from a slightly different perspective. I worked with software that parsed varying file types and csv files were so slow to process because of their size. It was the same scenario writing to them. So i'm not at all surprised at the slowness of exporting your data to them - not really Moz's fault.

WP Events Calendar Creates URLs Too Long in Site Crawler
My travel/tourism site is on WP and using an Events plugin that ads a calendar of events to many pages. The MOZ crawler is indexing almost 46K links with a URL too long, but the site only has about 3.8K pages indexed in Google. I can tell MOZ is indexing the same pages over and over again but just adding a random calendar month and year. Here are some examples. https://www.visitcurrituck.com/four-day-stay/?full=1&long_events=1&country[0]=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=10&yr=2003 https://www.visitcurrituck.com/four-day-stay/?full=1&long_events=1&country%5B0%5D=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=10&yr=2034 https://www.visitcurrituck.com/beach-houses-family-time/?full=1&long_events=1&country%5B0%5D=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=1&yr=1873 Any advice on how to prevent MOZ from indexing this way? I don't believe that Google is seeing this also, but maybe they are. I just know my site has over 63K issues and I'm sure at least 75% or more is because of the way they are picking up on the events calendar. Thanks!

How can I get a Moz crawl report of 404 errors on my site
I have a Moz subscription and I see dead links on my website that link externally. Is there a Moz crawl report which will show me these 404 errors and which pages on my site those 404 links are on?

Does Moz allow you to upload your disavow to take into account when analysing links?
I was wondering if moz allows you to upload your disavow file and if it has a consideration in the data supplied? Otherwise how can we accurately use moz to understand the true analytics of our site?

Does the inbound links report include links to all pages of the domain being researched?
If I enter 'abc.com' am I only getting results for 'abc.com' or will I get results for the internal pages of 'abc.com' as well (i.e. 'abc.com/page1.html)? There is a bit of a discrepancy between these results and inbound link results in semrush for example. Then again it seems whenever you use different tools to measure the same thing you get wildly varying results. How do you all deal with that?

301 Redirects: How long for Google to recognize? How long for Moz/OSE to recognize?
I redirected a few pages that had funky URL issues (capitals and underscores and useless words) to the same page renamed with proper URLs. The sitemaps were changed also, and re-submitted. Like this: mydomain.com/Not_Pertinent_Words.html >>> mydomain.com/good-words.html Google seems to have found them and changed the search engine results listing in about 8 days. But it's been about a month now and Moz and OSE still have not transferred all the strength and link data from the old URLs to the new ones. Question 1: How long does it usually take Google to transfer all the link and strength data for a 301? Question 2: How long does it take Moz and OSE to do the same? Is there something I need to do to tell them about the changes?
