How to use moz to find spam backlinks
-
I am new to MOZ pro. I have lots of spam backlinks from a company that blackhatted me about 5 years ago. Can MOZ list these for me? I don't know how.
Thanks

From Spam Analysis you can export a disavow file and upload it in Google Webmaster Tools.

Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here!
Sean is totally right - the place to go would be Open Site Explorer, and you'd want to take a look at the Spam Analysis tab! That should help you focus your efforts for disavowing any links that need to be disavowed.

Hey there,
Put your website URL through Moz Open Site Explorer and pull out all backlinks pointing to any page on your domain. Moz has it's own metric known as 'Spam Score' that will rate how likely each link is to be 'spam'. This should help you on your way:

I hope that helps!

Change email address just for communication with Moz
I want to keep my email address as it is now for all of my profiles, however to manage my MOZ account I prefer that my assistant get the emails. If I change my email address on the Moz account will that trigger a change anywhere else? Thanks, Cindy Cindy@PTScoaching.com

Moz having a few issues with their site?
I've seemed to have a load of issues as of late. Just small graphical things but still enough to make me concerned. 1. https://moz.com/community/users/4207879 being noindex (however it seems to other users an external tools work) (image proof: https://i.gyazo.com/2e77c94ffd068718e9e149e8afef1e44.png ) 2. No mozpoints: https://gyazo.com/9e0777af3ebbdb6ad58a395bafe28a52 3. I'm a staff member? https://i.gyazo.com/5d7b156c13fa1d0bb6c2e0af3467423f.png 4. Trying to respond when logged out: https://i.gyazo.com/9f5fe8efd372920391a9a54178561e0b.png (not really a bug, however could be a better experience) These have all been sent via support, just wondered if it was just me having issues? Seems i'm staff on this one too: https://i.gyazo.com/6f1bc6372180f4f9f1cb1c7d6f6d941c.png

Moz pricing plans don't make sense
Hey. I posted a question about this on my other Moz account (one I use for moz local), but it appears to have been removed, so here goes again. Can someone from Moz please explain to me why that in your plans, as the price goes up and more campaigns are allowed, the amount of keywords tracked per campaign goes down? $149 plan - 5 campaigns - 450 keywords = 90 keywords per campaign. $249 plan - 25 campaigns - 1100 keywords = 44 keywords per campaign $599 plan - 100 campaigns - 3700 keywords = 37 keywords per campaign What confuses me here with your pricing plans is two fold Modern SEO requires a lot of quality content, interlinked together to rank well (in most cases). Your SEO guides even talk about this. Blogging is one of the most popular ways to do this. However, in any modest website these days, especially one that runs a blog, how does tracking only 37 keywords per campaign make sense? The fact is, that even your starter plan with only 90 per campaign doesn't make sense. My business website is tracking about 300 (that actually drive traffic). I provide my SEO clients with the same type of work I would do for my self, which again reinforces that 37 keywords is plainly pathetic. Every online pricing model I've ever seen follows one simple rule: When price goes up, you get more for your money, not less. At first glance you might think that is what you're getting when you step up a plan and get more campaigns, but then to have less keywords per campaign simply doesn't make sense at all. What does make sense is to have a more flexible pricing model. Instead of locking us into set tiers which don't really make sense, you should allow a more flexible pricing BEFORE we have to go up to enterprise. Why not have a per project price of 'x' price per month, then have a price per keyword or maybe per 100 keywords. This would allow all of us the flexibility to run campaign depths that make sense for us, not for your counterintuitive views of how we should be tracking them. Again, I'd really like a Moz staff person to respond to this as the last time I commented about this, it was removed.

I'm tired of logging in to MOZ
I like this site, I really do, which is why I visit multiple times a day. But I grow weary of these premium sites that require me to log in multiple times a day. This morning I was simultaneously working at ordercup.com, strengthcoach.com, and moz.com, and all three log me out at every turn. Argh!!! What's worse is that some MOZ pages think I'm logged in and others don't. I don't fully understand the logic behind the curtain, so I wander from page to page trying to get the login in sync. Why can't these sites work like lynda.com where I can stay logged in for days and weeks? To top it off, LastPass rolled out a new release that broke auto-login. All this logging in is getting in the way of me getting anything done.

Creating Multiple Moz Accounts
Hi there, due to my work - and for customer service - I need to be able to set up multiple Moz accounts for each client, providing their own contact/CC info. Can you tell me if Moz allows this (I keep getting the message that I'm registered and can upgrade), or do I have to login from a different computer each time? Ultimately, the client will be administering their own account, but I want to set them up to get them started. Thanks, Alison alison@snap360.ca

When will MOZ allow you to pull data by a specific date range?
I can only pull by week at the moment. When will it be possible to pull custom date ranges?

Moz login token, time to live...
Suspect it's just a wrinkle as a result of the change from seomoz to moz, but on seomoz the remember me checkbox had a time to live of a few weeks, possibly a month, which was excellent. Since the great rebranding and migration (which is excellent by the way), time to live from ticking remember me is in the order of a couple of hours, which is pretty annoying. Any chance the web folks could bump it up a little, better yet put it back to 30 days? 🙂
