MOZ Site Crawl - Ignore functionality question
-
Quick question about the ignore feature found in the MOZ Site Crawl.
We've made some changes to pages containing errors found by the MOZ Site Crawl. These changes should have resolved issues but we're not sure about the "Ignore" feature and do not want to use it without first understanding what will happen when using it.
- Will it clear the item from the current list until the next Site Crawl takes place. If Roger finds the issue again, it will relist the error?
- Will it clear the item from the list permanently, regardless if it has not been properly corrected?

Hi Jo,
I have a query on crawling errors, can you please look into my post on Moz Q&A forum and it will be great if you can help me with this.

Hi folks!
Jo from the Moz help team here, you can now choose to mark issues as Fixed!
When you mark issues as "Fixed" we'll check back when your campaign next updates (or you force a recrawl) to see if it persists.

ViviCa1, Thank you. I think I'll now be requesting a new feature.

It clears the item from the list permanently (until you choose to un-ignore it). I only use it for things that Moz finds but that we are not planning or unable to fix (or that are supposed to be this way). So if you have fixed the issues, don't ignore them, they will just be removed from the list when the next crawl is done.

Server blocking crawl bot due to DOS protection and MOZ Help team not responding
First of all has anyone else not received a response from the help team, ive sent 4 emails the oldest one is a month old, and one of our most used features on moz on demand crawl to find broken links doesnt work and its really frustrating to not get a response, when we're paying so much a month for a feature that doesnt work. Ok rant over now onto the actual issue, on our crawls we're just getting 429 errors because our server has a DOS protection and is blocking MOZ's robot, im sure it will be as easy as whitelisting the robots IP, but i cant get a response from MOZ with the IP. Cheers, Fergus

Moz is flagging my callto: links as 404s. I "fixed" with tel: & nofollow and lost 2 DA. Help?
I changed the callto: links to tel: links in the footer and nofollowed them and my domain authority dropped 2. I'm assuming this is because we lost 2.8K "external links" Advice on how to remove 404s for Phone#'s without affecting DA? Will just using the tel: format stop Moz from crawling them as 404's? It was adding links to the 404 list that look like this: www.ocp.org/missals/callto:########### I assumed it was because to the crawlers the links looked like relative links this is what our links look like now: <a <span="" class="html-tag">href</a><a <span="" class="html-tag">="</a>tel:###########" rel="nofollow" title="Call us">########### Old footer links: <a <span="" class="html-tag">href</a><a <span="" class="html-tag">="</a>callto:###########" title="Call us">###########

Suggestion to Improve Moz's Link Data
Hello All. The recent Index update (29th January) seems to have produced quite a few shocks to Moz Pro users. Index updates always cause panic and joy every time they are released. However, I feel this is a big improvement that could be made. In this last index, the DA for my site has remained the same. I was expecting a rise, simply because I have been doing some link building since October and was expecting the results to start showing around this time. However, the link metrics for my site looked worse this month than ever before. The index clearly didn't crawl sites and pages that it has crawled the last couple of indexes, and I noticed a few links disappeared from the metrics altogether, links that I know still exist. So I have a suggestion... If Moz has collected link data in previous indexes, can it not preserve that data rather than starting afresh with every new index. Regular checks could be conducted on existing link data to identify expired or broken links, but to disregard them and start anew with every index seems a little odd. That way, Moz would have much more accurate and comprehensive link data which would help to avoid the DA inaccuracy, and provide users with a better measure of how their site is performing against the rest of the web. This may be naive because I do not know the technical side to index updates. Any thoughts, advice, suggestions etc would be appreciated.

Moz Local - Does it do the work for you?
Good Morning Everyone, I have a quick question regarding Moz Local ... I understand what it does and the purpose and how great it is... My question is this: If you sign up for Moz local, does it actually send all of the proper and necessary info to each of the aggregators or sites that it lists or does it simply tell me what information i need to send them and i have to provide this info to each one myself? For example, does it say something like "Inconsistent info found on Yelp, please do this to correct" .... OR, does it actually make the corrections and send to yelp for me? Thanks

Way to track public's use of keywords over time in MOZ?
I apologize for the basic question but is there a way to track within MOZ the public's use of my keywords over time? My traffic understandably goes down certain times of the year -- holidays, vacation season, back to school, etc. What I want to see is whether my share of the traffic available is staying steady, slipping or even increasing. Sometimes I'll see a big spike in traffic that I suspect is related more to a general increase in traffic in my keywords than anything else. Thanks for any help.
