I have removed a subdomain from my main domain. We have stopped the subdomain completely. However the crawl still shows the error for that sub-domain. How to remove the same from crawl reports.

Earlier I had a forum as sub-domain and was mentioned in my main domain. However i have now discontinued the forum and have removed all the links and mention of the forum from my main domain.
But the crawler still shows error for the sub-domain. How to make the crawler issues clean or delete the irrelevant crawl issues. I dont have the forum now and no links at the main site, bu still shows crawl errors for the forum which doesnt exist.

Patrick's answer gives you a great check list. I'd only add that you within Moz Analytics you can customize the crawler to only report on a certain portion of the site if problems still arise in displaying your data. Still, by using 301 redirection from the old subdomain to new location, cleaning up any old referencing links, and blocking further indexation you should see the errors disappear. Cheers!

Hi there
I would double check the following:
Internal links
Sitemap
Run a ScreamingFrog crawl and see if any URLs are redirecting to a subdomain pageI would also look into:
You can utilize the change of address tool through Google's Search Console
You can also request a removal through Google's Search Console.When did you remove the subdomain? Are these Moz errors or Google Webmaster Tools errors?
Let me know - thanks so much!

Is there still a way to put in a support ticket with Moz. I cannot find it on the site.
I sent an email a few minutes ago to support@moz.com but don't know if that is a usable address or not. I would prefer an answer from a Moz staffer. Thanks,

Is there a report that will show Keyword Rank History for the life of an active campaign?
I want to get a history of the keywords that have been tracked in an active campaign. This will allow us to see improvements over time.

Number of pages crawled = 1; Why?
Since November, we've been trying to figure out why, when I select Crawl Diagnostics, my number of pages crawled is only 1. In mid-november, we changed our URL. That is, we went from www.example.com/home-page/ to www.example.com/new-home-page/. My first assumption was that I needed to re-create my Moz profile. That didn't fix it. The only crawl error we get is the no rel="cannonical" found -- but it's there. We find it on every page, including the home page. Our content shows up in search. Moz bar shows us info for every page. I just don't know what else to check. Everything else in my dashboard seems to look as expected. Specifically, I've turned to Crawl Diagnostics to find 4XX errors on our site. Typically we find one or two per week. Sometimes 0. Sometimes 4 or more. But it's been 0 since November. I highly doubt we've arrived at perfection. Any thoughts?

Historical link report
In the old version of Moz, it was possible to export a historical link report for entire duration of the campaign. Now it only shows 3 months worth of data. Is it possible to export the data for more than 3 months and if so, how is that done?

Where are my October Monthly Reports?
My custom monthly reports have not been generated for any of our clients for the month of October. The report lists 10/1/2013 as the last report and says that the next report will be available on 12/3/2013. Obviously, there is a glitch that has caused October to be skipped. How can I fix this in order to get my monthly reports to my clients ASAP?

Can I still view archived campaigns if the subscrition is downgraded to the free version?
We have made a company decision to use another tool for the purpose of rank tracking and want to downgrade our Moz subscription to improve our bottom line. The current debate is whether the archived information has enough value to justify keeping a subscription. I am desperately hoping to circumvent this foolish, time consuming debate by being able to view archived campaign data from the free subscription, is this possible? Thanks in advance.
