Why is blocking the SEOmoz crawler considered a red "error?"
-
-
I think because that section is labeled "crawl errors", an area blocked from crawling would be considered an error. I can see where you're coming from, but think of it as an error found with an attempt to crawl, not necessarily an error found in the site itself.

So,
about 4xx errors read this article: http://webdesign.about.com/cs/http/p/http4xx.htm
for Seomoz crawler blocked by robots.txt , on this file, you have added two links, and are blocking the search engine robots to crawl/index this pages on their database.
about this error issue read here please: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=156449
hope helps,
thanks

It seems to me that it should be a "Notice" not an "Error." I am intentionally blocking bots from a defunct directory. Keeping SEOmoz out of an old directory should not (does not?) affect SEO, you know?

Sorry about that. I uploaded it 3 times and finally noticed the "Update" button after uploading on the 3rd attempt.

Hi, i can´t see the attached image, upload it on any imageshack or something like that and share here the url, and i will try to help you.
If the semozbot find errors on crawling,this mean your site have failures on programming of your site, it fails the " search engine friendly " optimisation.
send me image, i will try to help you.

Moz and HubSpot SSL - crawl error?
I'm getting an error message when Moz tries to crawl my site, however when I check in Google Search Console, they return no errors. Our site is hosted on HubSpot. Is Moz still having trouble crawling HubSpot sites that have enabled their SSL? I read an article that this should have been corrected in early 2017, but I'm getting an error.

How do fix an 803 Error?
I got am 803 error this week on the Moz crawl for one of my pages. The page loads normally in the browser. We use cloudflare. Is there anything that I should do or do I wait a week and hope it disappears? 803 Incomplete HTTP response received Your site closed its TCP connection to our crawler before our crawler could read a complete HTTP response. This typically occurs when misconfigured back-end software responds with a status line and headers but immediately closes the connection without sending any response data.

SEOMoz Software
I want to start off with stating that i am truly an advocate of SEOMoz and the great stuff they have done for the inbound community that we all know and love. I've been an active member since July 2010 and a paying pro member since December 2010. The software has always been monumental in helping my clients achieve their goals. However, in the past few months i have received nothing short of buggy unreliable software. The keyword difficulty tool never returns difficulty results. The Adwords data has been gone since i can remember. The rank tracker tool is successfull close to 1 out of 5 times. OSE is updated terribly slow compared to competitors. Plus, I have had to write emails to get my campaigns to be manually refreshed to see new ranking data. I have simply missed deadlines because my data is always delayed or missing from the software. Am i an anomaly here? does anyone have these problems? I have been researching some new tools as a replacement but i have yet to find anything as robust as the old SEOMoz. I'd love some feedback. Cheers - Kyle

I have a Rel Canonical "notice" in my Crawl Diagnostics report. I'm presuming that means that the spider has detected a rel canonical tag and it is working as opposed to warning about an issue, is this correct?
I know this seems like a really dumb question but the site I'm working on is a BigCommerce one and I've been concerned about canonicalisation issues prior to receiving this report (I'm a SEOmoz pro newbie also!) and I just want to be clear I am reading this notice correctly. I presume this means that the site crawl has detected the rel canonical tag on these pages and it is working correctly. Is this correct?? Any input is much appreciated. Thanks

New To SEOMOZ, 2 Questions...
Hi, 1. I got signed up with SEOMOZ yesterday and would like to know about the competitive analysis tool. I saw in a demo video of SEOMOZ that there was an aspect of Social links (Facebook etc) included in the analysis, I can't see this in my analysis however. 2. Is it possible to change websites over time? Let say in a few months I want to work on a new website, can I remove one of my 5 and add a new one? Thanks! James

SEOMoz Toolbar in Chrome
The SEOMoz toolbar is displayed very differently in Chrome as compared with Firefox. It 'overlaps' the page, showing on top of the content instead of offsetting the page/window. In other words, the footer or the header of the page (depending on what toolbar location is chosen in the Settings) is eclipsed by the Toolbar. This was not an issue in Firefox. Has anyone experienced the same problem with the toolbar? How can I make the toolbar integrate into the browser window itself rather that popping up on top of the rendered webpage? Thanks.
