How do i stop Moz from indexing my dev site?
-
Hey,
I am new to MOZ, and I am seeing in my page reports that I have duplicate content, but this duplicate content is mostly my development site. dev.domain.com. I have this blocked in robots.txt for google.
How do i stop MOZ including it in its reports?
Cheers everyone.

Site Crawl - Crawls only homepage?
Hi Moz Comunity! Joined Moz just 2 weeks ago and slowly trying to get used to tools available in here! Great tools and info available on this site! My concern is that Site Crawl of Moz in my Campaign seems to have crawled only my homepage and no other sub-domains, is there any reason for this? FOr some reason it seems that Moz interacts only with my homepage? Even when I tried the Keyword Exlporer set on Keyword to see if any of my pages rank for any keywords, it seems only my homepage was ranking for a few keywords. It's possible my other sub-domains don't rank for any keywords yet but still, seems suspicious... I have added a link to Site Crawl that says it has crawled only 3 pages on my site, and all are my homepage... Thanks for any help! Jacob s!AlxV7sobbcgmhJB_fXcF4EPzbPSovA

Duplicate Content after Moz Site Audit
Hello folks, So I signed up for the trial version of the Moz tool and ran an initial site audit. One of the site audit results is confusing me.

It reports that there are two pages with duplicate content ( Each page has a duplicate page with duplicate content in it).
When I take a look at what those pages are, here is what I see: mysite.com/Contact-Us.html
mysite.com/contact-us.html
( The difference in the above is the Contact and Us, the first letters are capitalized on one of the URLS) mysite.com/index.html
mysite.com Now I am confused because for one thing, I don't have 2 Contact Us html files uploaded on my hosting server.
Why is Moz seeing 2 Contact Us pages? How to remove one? Regarding my home page, why is it flagging the same page as two different pages? How to remove of them?0 -
