I added a privacy policy link to my footer and now Moz is showing thousands of 4xx errors

Because putting https://www.utahattorneys.com/privacy-policy/ or just "/privacy-policy" tells the browser where the location of the Privacy Policy is. Otherwise, the browser will think the Privacy Policy page is located in the same folder as the page you're on.

I fixed it per your suggestion and and re-crawled the site, which fixed the issues.
As an SEO newbie, can you please explain why the relative URL would cause those issues but not the absolute URL?
Thanks again! I really appreciate it

Hi there!
Sorry for the confusion!
So it looks like the issue here is that you have entered in a relative link into your footer instead of an absolute link.
[utahattorneys.com/privacy-policy](</span><a href=)">Privacy Policy
vs
[https://www.utahattorneys.com/privacy-policy/](</span><a href=)">Privacy Policy
If you make the change as shown above, you should be all set! If you have any further questions or concerns, please send up a message to help@moz.com!

Unsolved Did Moz Bar change to have no Keyword capabilities?
I'm trying to use it during SEO training over here and the KW button goes to a "Get Page Optimization Score with MozBar Premium - Try Free", with a link that takes you to: https://hsinfo.moz.com/mozpro/mozbar/lander?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Brand | NA&utm_adgroup=Brand - MozBar&utm_term=mozbar&gclid=CjwKCAjwxOCRBhA8EiwA0X8hi4Tx1YaOVwzWZaCGmzmYdBO4JEON8YlRMw52stp2AyfEBbH4uWDnARoCum0QAvD_BwE? Didn't this used to accept keywords and allow keyword checking? My training materials have the KW button behaving like this: [1] Do Keyword Research in MozBar.

1. Click the icon with KW and a magnifying glass.
2. Enter a term related to your subject. For example, "cyber security".
There is a section telling you the keyword score, the relevancy to your page, and giving you optimizations that you can make to the page regarding this term.... Thus, I feel sure KW had useful and free features and not a button for a trial and paid Moz Bar Premium account. What is the pricing for this feature now? Or am I missing something? Thanks,

Can Moz Keyword Explorer help target keywords for Google Images results?
I'm wondering if I can use Keyword Explorer (or maybe another tool?) to target keywords for image rankings. I'd like to play around with optimizing images so that they appear in search results and thus provide traffic - but wasn't sure the best way to track that kind of progress. My ultimate goal is to analyze the difficulty of ranking for a certain keyword via Google images. (I do know to optimize alt tag/title tag/place in relevant article etc, but wanted to know if I could research the difficulty). Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Ranking now showing on google
So. its kind of weird. on my campaign keywords tracking I now have 4 keywords that my client site is being ranked for. (on Monday it was 2) however on Monday and now too. I cannot find my website when I try and search that keyword manually. i understand that Moz does not update and search every keyword every day but even after a few days now. also the rank tracker show different results for same keywords and these results too seems not accurate what am i missing?

Moz Rankings vs DuckDuckGo
Hello, So we have a client that’s only interested in a handful of keywords. We would like track his rankings through a Moz Campaign but he currently uses Duck Duck Go to check them. Strictly from an accuracy perspective (and not necessarily added features like Mobile Rankings) is there any arguments we could use to convert them to Moz? If not we will let them know but any input would be appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from all of you! Thank you in advance for the help. Best,

Should I exclude prepositions in tracked keywords of moz analytics?
I'm new to Moz. Just set up my trial campaign, and it had suggested many keywords. Many of the phrases that were suggested do not contain prepositions. For example, instead of something like "sporting good stores in Chicago" it suggested "sporting good stores Chicago" Today, I looked at the on-page optimization suggestions, which are (of course) suggesting that I remove prepositions from my page to rank well. Well, as you know, that is unnatural to the reader. But I suspect people are searching in higher volume, leaving the prepositions out. I know that if I were to search for a sporting goods store in Chicago, I would probably leave out "in." What should I do? Should I remove all the suggested keywords, and make them readable (which people are less like using in their search?) Do I go back to all my pages and try to optimize it for a keyword that is natural, but does not include a preposition (such as Chicago sporting goods stores) or should I be doing something else?
