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.

Why can't I Ctrl + click on links on Moz any more?
I'm interested if it's just me that gets frustrated by this? I've just Ctrl + clicked a few links to open them in separate tabs and then realised that none of them had opened. I know it's been like this for a while. It's a usability issue as it goes against expected norms, and now I have to right-click and then click "Open in new tab" on each link, which is more time-consuming and frustrating. More and more websites seem to be losing their Ctrl + click on links ability (JavaScript often breaks it). I don't know if there's a Mac equivalent... Anyway, I hope that doesn't seem like I'm too angry. It just frustrates me a little and I hope it gets fixed. 🙂 Edit - I've just realised these are getting blocked by Chrome's pop-up blocker - but why? It's only an issue on a small number of websites.

Google Plus not loading...any ideas?
Trying to load my campaigns and for each one, Google Plus tracking is not loading. It just doesn't take. I've tried with three different clients so either I'm doing something wrong or the system is not working properly. I entered the names of the accounts exactly they appear on the Google Plus page and copy and pasted the url with and without /posts at the end. Any other ideas to troubleshoot this?= Thanks.
