Moz bot transforms special characters into fake 404 Pages in Reports
-
I have a lot of 404 links in my exported Moz Pro reports which are not actually Not Found pages when checking the Referring URL. For example:
Referring URL:
https://ofertolino.ro/oferte/barn%C3%A4ngen404:
https://ofertolino.ro/barn%C3%83%C2%A4ngenWhat happens is that the referring URL leads to a redirect (https://ofertolino.ro/barn%C3%A4ngen) but it never leads to the specified 404 Page (which has even a more weird symbol in the URL when it is url decoded) in the report.
What could be the issue here and is the Moz bot responsible for such misbehaviour?

Not sure why the data on the reports is stale. Meaning it hasn't been updated since my purchase date. Hard to know if I am making any progress.
I am a MOZ Pro subscriber and I am not sure why the data on the reports is stale, meaning it hasn't been updated since my purchase date. Hard to know if I am making any progress. How often does the data update?

Moz Crawl Canonicals and Duplicates
Hi all, I am using Moz Crawl to analyze some sites I am having to optimize.
Link Explorer | | Eurasmus.com
I keep seeing many of my pages detected as duplicate content when they have the rel=canonical applied. Example: www.spain-internship.com/zh-CN/blog-by-aaron
I have seen that in other sites. Of course I understand that Moz is not perfect but, is there a known issue or am I doing something wrong with the canonicals? Regards,0
