Error for a page that doesn't exist.
-
Hi,
I'm just trailing this service, and I have a couple of questions that I hope someone can help with.
1. I am getting a high priority error regarding a page not being able to be crawled - a 4XX error. Problem is, there is no such page in existence. The URL is my site/comments/feed It's driving me crazy.
2. I'm also getting errors based on missing meta tags in blog posts. I am adding tags at the time of posting, so I am unsure why these errors are showing up. Actually, I didn't add tags to all posts - but there are errors on ALL posts, even those I added tags to.
Any help would be wonderful. Thanks!!!

By the way Hugh, if you think the broken link reported by Moz isn't actually there, then you can contact them about a possible glitch here: help@moz.com

Hmm, weird. The broken link is showing up as the important issue. Oh well.
Thanks for the awesome support. I'll keep playing with this.

Your "blog" pages are in fact missing a description. For example: http://photographerinc.com/david/ has no description tag. It has the og:description, but that's not the same.
I wasn't able to find a broken link tho.
-
Sure, it's www.photographerinc.com

Do you mind sharing your Website's address?

Hi,
thanks for the fast response.
Following the error link take me nowhere - if I click the link I get an error saying it doesn't exist. Screen grab below. So, it reports an error, then tells me it doesn't exist. Seems weird.
On the point of the meta stuff, they aren't new. The were entered at the time of the blog postings, but the report says they don't exist.
Hard for my brain to wrap around.

Hi!
The 1st error is given when you are linking somewhere in your site to a 4XX page. Try following the links in hat error report to see which page is linking to that 4XX. Once you find it, simply remove the link or fix it.
The 2nd, if you are just adding the missing tags, it would take at least a week to reflect in the crawl stats in Moz as Mozbot scrapes your site one a week.
Hope that clears it up

Domain.com isn't recognized by on-page-grader, but domain.com/index.php is
I am running a website through On-page-grader, as www.domain.com and scores an "F" for a specific keyword. When it's ran as www.domain.com/index.php, it scores an "A" for that same keyword and has everything checked other than "keyword in the domain name". There are no other files such as index.htm, or index.html that would interfere and can't figure out why this page is not being recognized. I checked, the robots and .htaccess file, but do not see anything that would hinder. Could this be a server issue?

Keyword used 1448 times ? for a Chinese page
Hi, I tested my page grade here : https://moz.com/researchtools/on_page_grader_reports/1269197 Keyword : "專案管理軟體" , which means "Project Management Software" in Traditional Chinese. URL: http://helpmecloud.com/clarizen-introduction.html But the On Page Grader told me "We found this keyword used 1448 times." I think the result is wrong, I guess you calculated all Chinese letters separately. Am I right ? How can I get a correct grade for my page ? Thansk for help! William

On Page Grader Returning Large # of Keywords
When using the on-page grader the results show the below for a page with a specific keyword in the body only 5 times : We found this keyword used 1100 times. Any Idea why this would be showing such a high number? The keywords are in Thai language but there is a space before and after the keyword. Thanks.

On the on page optimization page, I found out that there are 2 contributing factors which are opposite to each other. "No More Than One H1 Tag" and "Appropriate Keyword Usage in H1 Tag"
"No More Than One H1 Tag" and "Appropriate Keyword Usage in H1 Tag" If you fulfill one condition, the other one is not completed. If you consider Article heading as H1 then Moz do not detect keyword in the heading.

Is there a way to do a mass lookup of Page Authority?
Meaning, is there a way I could look at the Page Authority for 50 pages all in one place? Or do I need to use the MozBar and go page by page? Just looking to save some time. Thanks.
