Moz Crawl Canonicals and Duplicates
-
Hi all,
I am using Moz Crawl to analyze some sites I am having to optimize.
I keep seeing many of my pages detected as duplicate content when they have the rel=canonical applied.Example: www.spain-internship.com/zh-CN/blog-by-aaron
I have seen that in other sites.Of course I understand that Moz is not perfect but, is there a known issue or am I doing something wrong with the canonicals?
Regards,
-
Hi James,
Sorry for the delay in the answer. The canonical was applied previously first time I did the crawling and now it is done once a week. I will review this week crawl and let you know if it keeps appearing. It should remain the same as I did not make changes.
Regards,

Would you mind letting me know how much time was between these crawl tests? Typically you'll want to wait at least 48 hours between the tests. If it is persistent feel free to let us know via help@moz.com or updating the post here.

Sorry just making some tests.
This one would be same case:

I'm getting the following error on your example -
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /home/rwbahqam/public_html/spain-internship/plugins/system/redj/redj.php on line 694
Have you given Moz enough time to (re)crawl the urls? If you do a q quick search you will find others with similar problems. Common issues can be making sure the tag is correct (going to the right URL). You may find this one the best for you - http://moz.com/community/q/crwal-errors-duplicate-content-even-with-canonical-links

Google Disavow File Format and MOZ Spam Score Updates
Hi, Is there a defined file format for Google disavow file name? Does it has to be disavowlinks.txt or can we do this like domain-name-date.txt ? Also, since Google does not share their data with Moz, how does MOz updates its spam score after we disavow the bad links? Do we need to connect Google search console with Moz?

Can't make sense of OSE and MOZ.
I checked this site on my OSE and it shows only 7 inbound links a DA of 14 and no social activity whatsoever yet when I check it on Majestic it shows ExternalBacklinks 71 ReferringDomains 20 Referring IPs 19 Referring Subnets 19 . And.. the page is #1 on google search for hypnotherapy michigan. How can it rate so poorly on MOZ, show so much more on majestic and rank so high on google? I thought MOZ data was supposed to be among the best and that top rated pages on google should also rate high on MOZ. here is the site http://hypnotherapy-detroit.com Additionally, when i look at the site, i notice that most of the backlinks are exchanged links and this site's link exchange page isn't even linked from the home page. Now I thought that kind of link exchange game was now discounted by Google. I don't get it. No social pages at all... low page rank... no new content.. so by MOZ standards there is no justification for this page to be anywhere near page one let alone at position #1. Can someone help me make sense of all this?

Why Moz Doesn't See or Count Our Backlinks?
Hi Moz Community! We have been working hard to improve our Moz metrics, measuring against a high ranking competitor to help us set our goals. Our Majestic and Webmaster Tools find tens of thousands of external backlinks pointing to our domain. That's all well and good. Moz's Open Site Explorer, however, only finds 900 total links - including internal links! This being the case, we have worked diligently to build a variety of great external backlinks, creating Bitly links and encouraging clicks on those through social promotion. Yet, our competitor has over 7,000 external backlinks in Moz's index, while ours is not growing relative to their number of backlinks. Can anyone share with us what they do to tell Moz about their backlinks? We already know we have many more backlinks than our competitor, from trusted domains with good authority, yet it seems Moz is not discovering them. We just want to understand how to use these Moz metrics to create meaningful calls-to-action. Otherwise, it seems like a gargantuan waste of time, and our team has difficulty getting buy-in from our company to put time and assets toward tasks based on our Moz numbers!

What if all the URL's in my website reported by MoZ do not exist on my website? They existed on an old one that has now been rebuilt?
What if all the top URL's report by Moz in my website do not exist on my website? They only existed on an older website? The only exception in the homepage
