It does work for single location as it is a cheaper option. So if you were to build your listing manually on the same directories we submit data to, it would cost more. Unless you are using Yext, automated submission tools rely on standard data propagation for each directory to process data. It is known not to be quick process as each directory ingests data at different times/schedules.

if you don't have the time or budget to manually manage your listings, Moz Local would be a quick solution and cheaper solution for data submission.

If you have the time and budget for manual management, it takes longer to claim/verify, then submit the data, however it will be quicker to update than waiting for data propagation.

Our tool is intended for bulk location submissions for agencies and marketers to submit and manage 100s+ locations. We do recommend if you only have a few listings and the time and budget for manual management, it is a quicker process than data propagation.

The links should be more diverse and the external pages are being link to from diverse links and so forth and so forth. There is no exact number of links I can say that would allow our crawler to crawl the links, as it can depend on many factors.

For http://www.eskewdumezripple.com, we are indexing links to multiple category/tag URLs that are contributing to the link count for example:

http://www.eskewdumezripple.com/studio-life/archives/2014/05
http://www.eskewdumezripple.com/studio-life/blog/by_tag/tag/community+engagement

You can use pagination to see what type of links are being picked up here: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/pages?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eskewdumezripple.com%2F&no_redirects=0&sort=page_authority&filter=all&page=1

HTTP status will indicate wether or not we crawled the page (200 status or No Data).

Hope this helps

Hi Will

Sorry to hear we have not crawled your site.

There are currently no new links going to any page on the site that will send us back for possible crawling. Also many of the pages indexed are returning 404s.

https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/pages?site=http%3A%2F%2Ftrahanarchitects.com%2Fwork%2Fholy-rosary%2F&sort=page_authority&filter=all&page=1

https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/just-discovered?site=http%3A%2F%2Ftrahanarchitects.com%2F&filter=&source=&target=domain&page=1&sort=crawled

To stay in an index and potentially have metrics calculated, you want to have continuous and fresh links going to the site to active pages. It most likely that the external links were captured over a span of time within a 160 day window but not enough close together to deem your site important to crawl. These are both the most common reasons we may index links but not crawl.

Hope this helps!

Hello!

Your site does not have enough links or authority for us to crawl.

https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/pages?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bijouxusa.com&sort=page_authority&filter=all&page=1

Keep link building to all pages on your site and on sites that are frequently visited with high authority which can help increase your score.

Hi Chloe

It's possible that your site's authority is too low for us to crawl your internal pages. The Crawl delay in robots could also be preventing us from crawling.

You will want to keep link building as currently there are no new links being discovered which means we won't revisit your site until we can find quality links from other sites: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/just-discovered?site=ccsadoption.org%2F&filter=&source=&target=domain&page=1&sort=crawled

Hope this helps

Hi arb3ux!

It appears your site/server is blocking our user-agent when we start from http://, we receive no response when we attempt to crawl as rogerbot or dotbot

I can reach your site directly by going to https://

So there is a configuration preventing us from reaching http to be re-directed to https

I recommend reaching out to your hosting provider to help isolate the issue. Please let me know if they make any specific changes and I can re-run the test to see if future crawls will be able to index your links.

Anytime!

Hi Kristin

I can confirm your issue is not related to SNI or the new beta crawler as your site does not use SNI.

Outside of SNI and intermediate certificate issues, 803/804 responses will mostly be temporary at the time of the request to reach a page, which is very difficult to isolate unless you see the same URLs appear in each new report.

I wouldn't worry about the spike until the next crawl occurs where you will want to look for re-appearing URLs which will then help you isolate possible issues with your SSL configuration.

Export the CSV for the current URLs to compare with next weeks crawl.

Hope this helps

Hi Etienne

There is a public 3rd party tool which also fails to connect which is hosted on AWS:

https://www.hurl.it/

If you run a GET request to this URL you will see a time out. Your admins can use this tool to quickly isolate any issues as this timeout is the same we are running into.

The SSL issues reported may not block normal browser connections but possible non-browser user-agents which would be another bot or server. We do not have any requirements or TLS, 1.0 and up is supported.

Hope this helps!

Hey Philip

Currently we would need a physical address in order to validate against Facebook Places or Google+. You can setup an address in one of them to validate and publish then set your info to be hidden or private afterwards. By marking your business type as a home business in the csv file will allow our partners to hide your address.

Hope this helps!

UPDATE: Only one partner can hide the address, all others will display the full NAP and in order for us to stay connected to a validating source (google/facebook) the listing must not be setup as an SAB. Google now hides SAB listings from their Places API.

Service Area Businesses are not supported and it is recommended to manage your listings manually: http://www.localvisibilitysystem.com/2013/04/22/private-local-citations-where-can-you-list-your-business-but-hide-your-address/

Your robots.txt is blocking us with the wildcard directive at the very bottom.

You will want to add:

User-agent: dotbot
Disallow:

This should update when we release a new index next month.

Hope this helps!

Hi Radi

Just wanted to add that dotbot only crawls once a month while rogerbot crawls weekly. So you will not see any new metrics on OSE until we update our next Index.

Hello!

I can confirm your site does use SNI which can be checked at https://globalsign.ssllabs.com/analyze.html?d=www.honesthouse.co.uk&latest

If anyone else is unsure about your own site, you can use the above link, replace the URL and click on any server results which will confirm SNI status shown here: http://www.screencast.com/t/GLzjD7gjzjR

As for any workaround, other than disabling SNI completely, the quickest option to get crawled would be to sign up for the beta.

Jon will keep everyone posted with any new status and I can assure you this is our top priority feature we are working on.

Hello!

We do not have a hashtag tracker. Overall we don't have a strong focus on Social metrics outside of Followerwonk and we're more about tweets to and from particular users rather than a larger trend analysis. If we see more interest in this, it could be something our product team could add to their roadmap.

Currently I would recommend checking out https://tagboard.com/ for hashtag analysis.

Yes the sign up link is in the very first post by Jon

Hi Etienne

I checked the campaign you have with the 902 response and the issue is with your host blocking AWS IPs. I could not find any SSL or SNI errors for the domain.

You will want to reach out to your hosting provider to make sure they are not blocking any AWS IP ranges. Our IPs are dynamic so we will not be able to provide a range for you.

There are also other issues with the SSL configuration which will need to be looked at which could result in different errors once the IPs are unblocked.

You can run a test here for any SSL domain: https://globalsign.ssllabs.com/analyze.html

Hope this helps!

Hi Ryan!

Our crawler will flag pages that have at least 90% similarity in the entire source code of the site so not just the body.

The way you want to interpret the report is the contact-us page has 35 duplicates, so "gabe" and "sale" are not dupes of each other in this section but are only each a duplicate of "contact-us". Those URLs might appear with their own duplicates of the same pages further down in the report.

While on the front end the pages do not appear to be similar. The issue is likely with the amount of javascript code on those pages.

Our crawler cannot read javascript so we are likely only able to see the template of the page. Other search tools are probably seeing the same thing as it returns 79% similarity  using this tool: http://www.freebulkseotools.com/similar-page-checker-tool.php

I can't provide much insight from a dev perspective but hope this helps!

Awesome to hear!

As for other tools to measure traffic drops we don't have any but I recommend creating a new post on the Q&A as our community may be able to provide some tips

Hi Monique!

I have sent an email to you regarding your campaign not collecting data. Let me know if you have not received it and I will send another!

Cheers
