This would be a very useful feature, and other sites are doing this, including Ahrefs.

Hi!.

You can use MOZ, RSS feed and also IFTTT to configure the alerts you want. I think you can use them to create backlink alerts. Here is an example at MOZ's Blog:

I can not tell you about Ahrefs, because I do not use it. I hope I could have helped.

Why my site not crawl?

my error in dashboard: **Moz was unable to crawl your site on Jul 23, 2020. **Our crawler was banned by a page on your site, either through your robots.txt, the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header, or the meta robots tag. Update these tags to allow your page and the rest of your site to be crawled. If this error is found on any page on your site, it prevents our crawler (and some search engines) from crawling the rest of your site. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster i thing edit robots.txt how fix that?

Can the login page be updated (the tab order)?

When utilizing certain password manages, the tab order on the login page is set in such a way that the username fills in and then where the password should go is the Create an Account link. Thus, the password is not filled in and the user is brought to the Create an Account page.

Is there a moz tool to optimize original advertorial content?

We are launching a new module that will involve paid advertorial along with unpaid articles. Does Moz have a tool that will help us with optimizing these articles for the English speaking Hong Kong market? We are not interested in optimizing for the US or other markets as people there would not be searching for the content we are producing so the optimization would not be very relevant. Example: https://hongkong.asiaxpat.com/other/263101/guide-to-buying-and-riding-a-motorcycle-in-hong-kong/

Posted by Link on Moz - Broken

I wasn't sure which category to place this in as Support doesnt feature Q&A or the Moz site in general so I dropped it under other research tools to which the Q&A kind of is 🙂 Now I am not sure if it is just me and that you have rectified the issue, but when ever I click on the "posted by" links to the user. I am getting a page not found error. The links in question can be seen in my two grabs and effect all posted by links on the Q&A section of Moz. A simply trailing slash after .com "/" will do the trick 🙂 https://moz.comusers/view/636129 - BROKEN
