-
I have a new url, and I'm trying to create a new campaign for it.
But in first step when i enter the domain, an error message pops up saying the url is invalid. could you help?

Hi Alice
You may need to check with your hosting provider to see if they might be blocking us for the springcoin domain.
Make sure the following IP range is not blocked: 208.184.81.0-24

Hi David,
I think that wildcard is correct, because we want to disallow all pdf files.
This is the same robots file as our other domain, avantcredit.com, and I was able to set up that campaign successfully on Moz.
Is there anything else that could be causing the issue?

Hi Alice
There is an issue with your robots.txt which has a wildcard directive without a / before it
Disallow: *.pdf$
Missing / at start of file or folder nameThis might be preventing us from accessing the site.

Hi Alice!
Generally the invalid URL will indicate an issue with either DNS or inability to obtain an HTTP response from the web server. Check you robots.txt file for any user-agent blocks and you can use various header response tools to see if you return any errors:
www.webconfs.com/http-header-check.php
If you have a 302 re-direct you will need to change it to be a 301. If you receive a 200 OK response, let us know what the URL is so we can run other tests.

Perhaps you could provide us with the url? It's difficult to help you without it

Keywords showed volume before but now they say 'no data available'
Keywords showed volume before but now they say 'no data available'. And this is happening with common words like "prints" - I'm dead certain this keyword should not have 'no data available'. What's going on? How do I reset or fix this? I only have 12 days left of my trial and I can't even use the feature I need.

Crawl still in process for 3 days. Not sure why the site isn't being crawled
I added a new site to the crawl, but it seems to be stalled. It was supposed to crawl Feb 19, but it is still in process Feb 22. It tried to crawl the site and there was a robots.txt issue, but that issue was resolved way before the 19th. Not sure what is going on. this is for the clear lake campaign.

How to find first set of Moz rankings?
I'm trying to compare the state of our seo before we started moz to now. I can't find the first set of rankings and on-page grades when I initially setup Moz. I do have access to our first report, but in that first week, I made a number of changes based on the initial crawl/rankings/on-page grades. Anyone know how to get that? Thanks, Ruben

A problem with the MOZ New response to Question Email
Hi, It seems that the MOZ New response to Question emails are getting my mailbox stuck (using outlook). This does not happen with any other email including your other reports and emails. Maybe its only me but it happens to me on two active questions I have with you (2 different new response emails I got). Thanks
