Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I am accessing these tools from the "Rankings Report" page and looking at competitors pages.

I click on the dropdown next to the keyword and select either "extract terms" or "explore links".

In both cases I get a message that says SEOmoz has no data for the page in question.

This happens consistently for many keywords and pages.

What gives?

No, Google Webmaster tools do not list an error here.

Its indeed an SEOmoz bug. Ryan, thanks for trying though!

Well actualy I did already. The example I gave above is exactly that, only I replaced the real URL with "URL".

In a bit greater detail, the referring page is actually URL1 and this page contains the javascript

item = '

• text';

which produces 404 errors for URL2 in the SEOmoz crawl report.

Thanks for the tips. After drilling down on the referer, this looks like an SEOmoz bug.

We are using a wordpress plugin called "collapsing archives" which creates LEGAL archive links with a javascript snippet like this:

item = '

• text';

As you can see this is totally legal javascript. But it seems SEOmoz is scanning the javascript without interpretation and picking up the escaped quotation mark ' after the URL and interpreting it as an additional \ at the end of the URL.

Since the plugin is behaving legally and works well - we want to keep using it. What's the chance that SEOmoz will fix the bug?

Hi SEOmoz folks

We're getting a lot of 404 (not found) errors in our weekly crawl.

However the weird thing is that the URLs in question all have the same issue.

They are all a valid URL with a backsalsh ("") added. In URL encoding, this is an extra %5C at the end of the URL.

Even weirder, we do not have any such URLs in our (Wordpress-based) website.

Any insight on how to get rid of this issue?

Thanks

The crawl report tells me "Notices are interesting facts about your pages we found while crawling". One of these interesting facts is that my blog archives are "blocked by meta robots".

Articles are not blocked, just the archives.

What is a "meta" robot?

I think its just normal (since the article need only be crawled once) but want a second opinion. Should I care about this?
