What Moz tool is best to find reasons google has not spidered by site
-
I just joined Moz and am trying to use the tools however, when I attempt to do so every link comes to a that only allows me access to post questions here.
If anyone can tell me what tool is best to find reasons google has not indexed my site, I would greatly appreciate the help.
Also if anyone knows why I am keep getting routed to this forum when I try to use any of the tools, I would also appreciate help with this. So far Moz is very frustrating.

Hi There,
I hope that this message finds everyone well and you are all having an amazing day! As mentioned before it is pretty tricky to determine why Google does not index a particular site. They are a bit secretive by nature so the issue could range from anywhere from the site being penalized by Google to an issue with ones hosting provider. As mentioned by some of our other amazing community members, Google Web Master Tools and Google Analytics are some very excellent resources.
It does seem very strange that you would be routed to the question and answer forum. Hmmm, we have not heard of this issue before. If you are logged into your account you should be able to follow this link: http://analytics.moz.com/pro/home and be able to get access to Moz Analytics. Once here I would recommend entering in your site and checking out our crawl diagnostics section. This is an awesome portion of the site because it will point our areas of improvement with the site and general recommendations for improvement.
Hopefully this helps and if you are still running into some issues please let me know.
Have a magical day and I look forward to speaking with you soon!

It does seem odd that you keep getting routed to the Q&A forum. Though this forum is a good place to find reasons Google might not have indexed your site. The more details of the situation you share, the better the answers you are likely to get.
As far as the tools, after you log in, go to moz pro in the upper right corner, and hover over the research tools tab--you should see a drop down menu. Click on "view all research tools" and you will see a table which includes a crawl test. The results from that would be a good place to start.
If you are not seeing that path to the tools, you could contact Moz-- they should be able to straighten things out for you.

I have the same problem, and posted a question about this ("everybody is stumped" in the description line). It seems to be a common problem. Google gives few tools to find the reason, beyond a few obvious ones. Here are some places to start?
Have you looked at Google Webmaster tools? Check your Crawl Errors page. Also check the Sitemap Page for errors. Try using Fetch as Google (under the Crawl category); see if that URL appears in a google search after a day or so.
Look at your Crawl Statistics (measuring Googlebot activity). Are they zero? If not, are they rising (problem might solve itself), or falling (me!). These numbers are mysterious, but important.
Try looking in the Google Webmasters Forum. Lots of people posting similar problems there. Some of their answers might help you.
Hope this helps.

Where is the Spam Analysis tool?
Hi, reading the Article Spam Score: Moz's New Metric to Measure Penalization Risk I became curious about the mentioned Spam Analysis tool: Right now, you can find Spam Score inside Open Site Explorer, both in the top metrics (just below domain/page authority) and in its own tab labeled "Spam Analysis." I could find the Spam score of my site within the link explorer but I could not find the Spam Analysis tool that checks the 17 key indications that a site might be a spam site. I am also a Free Trial subscriber right now. Where can I find the Spam Analysis tool?

Down for me? Or everyone? 504 errors on campaigns and research tools.
Additionally direct emails to help@moz.com don't work and return a permanent failure error. There's also no verification email coming through when using the message form page to contact support, I'm presuming it's emailing the above email but also failing.

Trending Bugs in Moz Analytics
The FAQ’s We hope we can help! Below are the trending issues at the moment. If you don’t see your question addressed or need further help, send us a message at http://moz.com/help/contact. Our Help Team gumshoes will investigate your issue and respond shortly. Where did my Campaigns Go?

Whenever your account is suspended, your campaigns are archived. The good news is that reviving archived accounts is really simple. Go to your Campaigns section: http://pro.moz.com/campaigns
At the top of the page there is a "Archived Campaigns" Tab, give it a click.
From here, you should easily be able to "activate" your campaigns. My Google Analytics profile won’t stay connected to my campaign and/or I am missing profiles in my GA Settings. Google goes through a process called Oauth when it comes to authorizing access of services that are linked to your Google account. Under any single Google account, there are about 20 tokens account wide. Those tokens are used to provide access for a variety of services from Gmail to apps on your phone. Once you hit the limit, which is 20 for most users, the system automatically revokes the oldest token to provide a new one. I'm not certain if this is causing the issue on your account, but it is a great place to start troubleshooting. You may be able to correct the issue by manually revoking your tokens to make room for new ones on your account and then reconnecting the account to Moz. Here are the instructions on how to do that: Follow this link https://accounts.google.com/b/0/IssuedAuthSubTokens. This page displays the current OAuth tokens you are using. Once you reach the page, simply press the revoke button (illustrated on this screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/vjh3KrjRRIe) for services that you are not using right now. Once you are done with, that simply go back to your campaign settings, disconnect your GA profile and reconnect. The below process may also fix this issue for you. Head to your campaign settings page on your overview page. Disconnect your Google Analytics connection. Go back to your settings page and click on "connect account." Please make sure you log into the correct GA account. 🙂 Hurray! This should let you grab the most current traffic data! Oops! try refreshing page! I can’t access any of my Campaign data.
This issue is normally machine specific and can be a bit complex.
