Is there a way to download a report showing all meta descriptions for our web pages?
-
I see how to look at data for web pages with meta descriptions that have been flagged as being less than optimal. Is there a way to do a complete download of the meta descriptions on all our pages? (good meta as well as not so good) Thanks! Lydia

Absolutely, there are a few ways you can gather meta descriptions for your web pages. One method involves using tools like Screaming Frog or Sitebulb, which crawl your site and generate reports containing various SEO-related information, including meta descriptions. These tools can export reports in different formats like CSV or Excel, allowing you to analyze and review your meta descriptions easily.
Alternatively, if you have access to your website's backend or content management system (CMS), you might be able to extract meta descriptions directly from there, either through built-in reporting features or by exporting the necessary data.
Would you like more specific guidance on using any particular tool or method?

Hi Lydia - Dave from Moz support here.
If you have a Site Crawl or On Demand Crawl of your site. You can export a CSV of your "All Crawled Pages". This will include a column of Meta Descriptions for each page crawled. This export will also include information of other data that we report on.
We hope that helps, if you have further questions on this, feel free to reach out to help@moz.com.
Thanks!

Hey Lydia!
You can simply perform a site crawl using using Screaming Frog. From there, you can select the "Meta Descriptions" tab and click "Export" which should provide you with all of your site' meta descriptions.

Meta description
Hi! I have updated my meta description a few sites on my website and for some reason when I check it on MOZ, the old meta description keeps showing up. We use a platform called Metropublisher and it is showing the updated meta description on their end, but through MOZ and Sreaming Frog, the old meta description still appears. Any ideas why this is? Thanks in advance!

Open Site Explorer not reporting all 301 redirected links
Our site had over 2,000 root domains linking to it as reported in MOZ Open Site Explorer (and Google Webmaster Tools). We then changed the domain and made sure that 301 redirects were set up for all pages across the site. That was about 1 month ago. Open Site Explorer is now reporting less than 300 linking root domains. For the links that it is reporting the majority of these are being 301 redirected to the new URLs (some of them we changed the links directly). However the majority of the links that are being 301 redirected are not being reported. It is reporting most of the links coming from the old to the new domain. Google Webmaster Tools is reporting over 1,000 linking root domains to the new domain (it has a max of 1,000). We did notice that MOZ took some time to update the domain authority of the new domain. It was 1 for along time and it has now jumped up to 46 ( it was previously at 74). Maybe this is a time delay thing and eventually Open Site Explorer will report all of the 301 redirected links? It is a bit frustrating at the moment as we can't fully analyse the links to the site to try to focus on the high domain linking sites to get them to change the link directly. Also, If all links are being 301 redirected to the new domain should the authority not be close to where it was previously after one month? Our search traffic has dropped considerably since the launch of the new site and hasn't returned yet, so just wondering if the 301 redirected links pass on as much value as thre original direct links. Thanks, Damien

I started downloading an OSE advanced report yesterday. It has been over 20 hours and the message below is shown on my report list page. Processing Getting data from the LSAPI. 27,450 out of 100k results found It takes a very long time than usual so I would like to know if there is currently any technical issue on Moz part, or that I should change any setting and try downloading it from the start. Thank you very much.

External Followed Links report
I would like to know, how do I get a report with the TOTAL amount of my external followed links.When I look on "Link Metric" it shows me: External Followed Links 2,951
Link Explorer | | AutoEuropeBut when I looked on Inbound links (only follow / only external), it shows me only 645. Why is that and how do I get the total from 2.951?
Thanks
