Moz Crawl Test Trying to Crawl Contact Form Submit Button Location?
-
Moz Crawl Test for some reason is trying to Crawl a contact form Widget Submit Location. My obvious guess is that obviously the crawl cannot submit to the required fields…..I believe this because they're only kicking back these errors on the pages I have a contact form widget on.

Error attempting to request page; see title for details. 404Can you shed any insight to this? I'm a bit worried that I'll have to complete gut the contact form which was one of the major requests my client requested. Or in a worse scenario make all fields not required. It would let so much spam in.
I have never seem anything like this at all. But I've learned a lot from Moz, and with major errors like 404 damage Domain Authority greatly. I've fixed 404 issues with newly acquired clients existing sites and tracked through Moz and the domain authority flies up once these errors are fixed. Along with fixing what Webmaster Tools through Google reports back.
..... Let me know if you have any expertise on this matter.

Thanks a bunch! From your input I was able to clearly see our contact form is in fact setup as a link instead of a button. Appreciate your input greatly.

I am guessing that the form is using a link instead of a button. The simple solution is to edit the link that the form is using and make it a no follow link. Then the crawler will not try to follow the link and submit the form.

Using Moz to find blogger with good PR.
Hi, My manager has recently informed me that you can use Moz in order to find blogger by category and their page rank. Is this possible? The reason for this is because we are looking for blogger with a good page rank and who are relevant to our sector, which is days out, outdoor activities, zipwires, adventure etc. We then want to contact them to see if we can invite them to write about our Tree Top Adventure and zip trekking activities. Any help would be much appreciated.
