Does using Sucuri block Moz?
-
I am using Opensite explorer on my site which uses Sucuri and it shows 0 for everything. Does Sucuri stop MOZ from reading the link?
I also suspect that using Sucuri has made my SEO suffer because the first page is always saying "redirecting" . Anyone with experience to this? Thanks
-
I use Sucuri cloud proxy and it has never affected my sites in any way. If you tell it to block the IP's or referral domain it will do so. If you do not it considers Moz/ Roger Bot & Dot Bot as white hat and does not block them unless you request that it does.
their user agents are right here

-
you can request that Sucuri check and make sure you are not being blocked. With that said I just ran a test on the site above and the only bots that are being blocked bad bots.
-
if you find this is not true for you simply tell Sucuri.net support inside the dashboard to Speak to support There phone number is 1–888–873–0817 they will tell security operations Center or( SOC) to white list anything you want white listed
-
Could you possibly share a screenshot of the redirect your talking about?
-
Tt sounds to me like you have a redirect issue on your server that could be blocking dotbot ( the bot for open site Explorer)
-
To determine whether or not a robots.txt file or a no index page is doing this please use the tools below their free and will give us a lot of information quickly & make sure your robots.txt is not blocking it.

To check regarding search engines or bots being redirected using this tool

to re-create a robots.txt file that works and will not block anything if that is the case use this tool.

http://tools.seochat.com/tools/online-robots-txt-generator/ ( Site maps may not be official but do help if they're in the robots.txt file)
** last but not least run your site through this tool and make sure nothing is out of whack.**
- http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/
- http://moz.com/tools/crawl-test ( do not be surprised if this does not work as may use the same bot being blocked by a number of different things)
- If you continue to have problems and Sucuri tell you that they are not blocking it.
- Look into using Deepcrawl.co.uk or screaming frog SEO spider
- I even run a free audit on deep crawl for you if everything above does not work.
I hope this helps,
Tom

Thanks Joe for the thumbs up on Sucuri based on your experience. Have tweaked the settings on Sucuri and opensite is able to detect it. Will continue to monitor it.
Appreciate the sharing of your experience with Sucuri, Joe.

Thanks Abe, you are right. Went to tweak the settings at sucuri and the opensite explorer worked. Cheers and appreciate the response

Thanks for the reply Ryan. Appreciate.
Robot.txt is ok, went to tweak the settings in sucuri and the opensite is able to detect it.
Cheers,
Eric

We do use Sucuri on some of our clients websites with high rankings and no crawl or ranking issues. I agree with Ryan it's some other issue you are having. Just wanted to let you know from direct experience with Sucuri not having any issues for us. Best Regards,
Joe

Hello and thanks for reaching out to us! While I don't have any personal experience with Sucuri, there are certainly website protection tools out there that can mess with our crawl attempts. If you can send your campaign name and web address to help@moz.com, we'd love to take a look at that for you!

Doubtful. Several sites mentioned on their clients page are showing numbers in OSE. Try out a few from: https://sucuri.net/clients/. Chances are you have a robots.txt issue blocking OSE, the site is brand new, or it's on a tld domain that is currently not compatible with OSE, such as http://example.website If you list your site here more details could be provided. Cheers!

MOZ DA IS NOT INCRAESING

How is Moz DA affected by spam links? Disavow file?
So it does not appear that moz let's you upload your disavow file. So when moz calculates your DA how do spammy links factor in? After digging through our GA it appears our site was hit with the 2016 penguin update and never recovered. Our weekly visitors were 2k, then dropped to 500 and have stayed close to that level for a while. We've used the disavow tool, without success over the past 3 years. During that time we have done link out reach and built around 10 legit good quality DA links since. But we have not recovered. At this point i'm thinking I should just remove the disavow file. Moz says our spam score for our domain is 5%.

Subdomain and nofollow backlinks are used to calculate the domain authority?
Greetings, I have a couple of questions about domain authority. 1 - The backlinks that come from different subdomains count several times or only once coming from the same domain? 2 - The nofollow backlinks are used to calculate the domain authority? Thank you.

Is Moz's backlink checker.... just... not good?
Hey everyone! Can somebody explain to me why this keeps happening: Whenever I'm trying to backlink my competitors, I typically use RavenTools. Every time, without fail, if I put that same URL into Moz's Open Site Explorer - It gives me about 1/20th of what RavenTools shows me. Sometimes it literally comes up with 2 or 3 links total. Unfortunately, RavenTools has a cap on how many backlink checks you can perform in a month - so once I've used those up, I have to start using OSE... But, it just doesn't work. Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks!

Can I use the keyword explorer to find negative keywords?We focus on a few things in our business that we focus on but the feedback that I get from the tool is not helpful
All in all,this business focuses in a very small area,and there are things that others in our business do that we do not.Yes,a guy that knows nothing about SEO... This is a junk removal business,and some of the competition do everything.This is a small outfit that only hauls junk.Much of the competition that we have sells junk bins,we do not.We just haul junk..we do not paint,or any of the things that they do. I just keep getting things sent to me me in my list here about bin sales etc,and it is making impossible to search for keywords without a way to manage what is coming in some way..Google let me do this,but I am just hoping to use this tool entirely if I am going to pay for it.Maybe I am lost being new,and confused. How can I use this tool? Are there any settings,or anything that you can teach a non SEO minded guy like me? Thanks

How can I use Open Site Explorer to Identify why my own URL's are appearing as inbound links
I'm a new member of Moz, and am trying to understand why I am seeing my sites URL's in my Inbound Link results in Open Site Explorer. There are quite a few, and they are all product category URL's that are generated by my stores database. This is not happening with .html URL's. Any thoughts?

Why moz pro detects inexistent links?
I have a campaign in moz pro to my personal webpage for testing purposes and also a bit of learning. But i have a question: On link -> Link analysis i can see this: http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/chat/index.php 404http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/docs/index.php 404http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/down/index.php 404http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/foto/index.php 404http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/news/index.php?news=1 404http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/project/index.php 404http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/ro/index.php 404http://maqui.darkbolt.net/project/who/index.php 404Obviously all these address doesn't exist. There are links on the page project/index.php linking to, for example, /chat/index.php.How can i resolve this problem on the stats? There's something bad really on the page? As i can see all links on the page are working properly.
