What is the "other" group in traffic to your site on the moz analytics dashboard ?
"Not provided" is in search - organic search history so it's not that.

This is a great question. Recently Google started hiding the traffic details from everyone, which is why you see "not provided" in the details. Everyone was affected by this, and we are trying to work with them to get this data type back. Rand talks about this in detail here: http://moz.com/blog/100-percent-keyword-not-provided-whiteboard-tuesday and Ruth touches on this as well here: http://moz.com/blog/what-is-seo-now. I hope this helps shed some light on what you are seeing here. I know this is odd and not extremely valuable information now, but we are always working on improving this process and are very open to suggestions and feedback just like this.

That was my first thought as well, but the data doesn't support it.
- Dashboard --> Traffic to your site : 9 from other
- Search --> Traffic from search : 6 from (not provided)
Even if 6 out of 9 are from not provided, that doesn't explain where the other 3 visits come from.
Might be that the other 3 are from links in mails or newsletters, how are those displayed in Moz Analytics ? -

Moz Not Crawling Angular SPA
I have a client that just launched a redesigned website using Angular as a single page app. Google appears to be able to crawl the site just fine, but Moz crawl is only finding one page. We have updated the htaccess to allow for Rogerbot and Dotbot, but still unable to crawl any pages other than the home page. Does anyone have experience with this or ideas of why it won't crawl all pages, and how to allow for Moz to crawl all pages? There is a sitemap with approx. 390 pages. Thanks!

Open site explorer
Excuse my ignorance but I am very new to all this. I have a new site www.sassandgrace.co.uk and am using MOZ to try and get it right first time. On OSE I am seeing different results for http://www.sassandgrace.co.uk/ and http://www.sassandgrace.co.uk i.e with an without / ) and different results again for http://sassandgrace.co.uk These differences relate to the social page metrics but I would be keen to get one consistent reading. What do I need to do? Also, I know that I have links to the site but none are showing at all. On google console there are a couple showing but I know that there are many more. Is it just a matter of time before they are 'found' or is there something that I should be doing? Sorry for what are probably very basic questions but any help is appreciated.

Does Moz provide more than just the SEO Tool?
We've received a lot of good info about our website using the Moz analytic tools but I'm curious to know if Moz provides consulting services on how to implement changes based on the data. Basically, Moz gave me the "what", I need some direction on the "how" and does Moz have the in house capabilities to assist with the "who" can do the actual work.

Why Moz New Users Are Left Alone?
New users when sign up to an application like Moz need concrete support to make them familiarized the basics at least, but Moz seems to be not realizing this hardship of the new users or intentionally ignoring it. There is no chat service or phone numbers to quickly contact the designated agent for some quick help. Mail responses that are received after much time have their limitations -- not much interactive. What the new users should do, because the Moz is not that simple for new users. [edited question for formatting]

Moz's official stance on Subdomain vs Subfolder - does it need updating?
Hi, I am drawing your attention to Moz's Domain basics here: http://moz.com/learn/seo/domain It reads: "Since search engines keep different metrics for domains than they do subdomains, it is recommended that webmasters place link-worthy content like blogs in subfolders rather than subdomains. (i.e. www.example.com/blog/ rather than blog.example.com) The notable exceptions to this are language-specific websites. (i.e., en.example.com for the English version of the website)." I am wondering if this is still Moz's current recommendation on the subfolders vs subdomains debate, given that the above (sort of) implies that SE's may not combine ranking factors to the domain as a whole if subdomains are used - which (sort of) contradicts Matt Cutts last video on the matter ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MswMYk05tk ) which implies that this is not the case and there is so little difference that their recommendation is to use whatever is easiest. It would also seem to me that if you were looking through the eyes of Google, it would be silly to treat them differently if there were no difference at all other than subdomain vs subfolder as one of the main reasons a user would use a sud-domain is a technical on for which it would not make sense for Google to treat differently in terms of its algorithm. I notice that in terms of Moz, while most of the site uses subfolders, you do have http://devblog.moz.com/ - and I was wondering if this is due to a technical reason or conscious decision, as it would seem to me that the content within this section is indeed linkworthy (as it has external links pointing to it from external sources), therefore it would seem to not be following the initial advice that is posted in Moz's basics on domains. Therefore I am assuming it is due to a technical reason - or that Moz's adive is out of date with current Moz thinking, and is indeed in line with Matt C in that it doesn't matter. Cheers
