Massive increase in Moz crawl.
-
I have a subdomain which has just started to be crawled by Moz, Previously this wasn't the case.
The sub-domain had 16,000+ issues. Why has Moz started to count sub-domains as part of the main domain, has Google started to do this aswell?

Hi Dave!
Thanks for reaching out! My name is Anne, and I helping the Mozzer Alliance today! There could be a few different reasons we've just started crawling this subdomain:
1. Did you recently link this subdomain to your site differently? Our crawler starts with your home page and uses recursive crawling to find pages on your site through the links we find. This could explain why we just started crawling the subdomain.
2. Did you change your robots.txt for this subdomain? Our crawler, Rogerbot, follows robots.txt. If you edited this site recently, this could also explain why we just started crawling your subdomain.
I hope this helps! If you have more questions, please reach out to the help team at https://moz.com/help/contact. From there we can help you troubleshoot what's going on, but keep your campaign details off the interwebz.
Have a great weekend!
Anne

Moz Pro recommends not using a keyword more than 15 times. If there is a lot of content and the density is low, is it okay to go over that?
From MOZ on-page grader... "Recommendation: Edit your page to use your targeted keywords no more than 15 times." But if I use a keyword 50 times and the keyword density is only 2 percent, is that ok? What is more important, the raw number used or the density?

Reducing number crawl-able links?
Hello, I just like to ask for best practice when it comes to reduce number of internal links on a site with a mega menu. Since the mega menu lists all categories and all their subcategories it creates a problem when all categories are linking to all categories directly.. Would the method below reduce the number of links and preventing the link juice flowing directly from category to category? [(link built with JavaScript and the html5 "data-" attribute) Thinking of using these links to categories in the menu not directly below the parent category.](#)

Error is not going away and crawling
I have fixed an error but its still showing in red as error. Im totally new to SeoMoz and to SEO in general so im not sure how this tool works. Did I fix it correctly or not if its still showing? It was a broken link and now it links up to another page. Do I just have to wait? My website only has 8 pages and on the dashboard it says crawled 8 pages but it takes up to a week for a full crawl? Im really confused. Thank you in advanced!
