Find 404 errors
-
Seomoz is currently reporting 404-errors, without saying where these errors are found.
What good is this report when it does'nt say a word about where I can find the page linking to the 404?
Screen: http://filer.crenia.no/NJPZ
I really think it's time for Seomoz to prioritize upgrading the pro tools. Feels like they haven't been updated in ages..

This would be a great addition to our web tools! Thanks so much for the suggestions. I can absolutely see how valuable this would be.
Must suggestion would be posting this as a feature suggestion. Here's the feature request forum we use to collect ideas:
http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests
The teams at SEOmoz pay close attention to these requests and we make additions and updates to our tools often based on submissions just like these. I hope this will help.

If your site is under 3000 pages you can use this tool
it shows you the broken link, and the page and where in the source code the broken link is on that page.

Keri, given that this kind of question comes up so often, why not at least put a note on the report pages indicating that significantly more complete data is available in the CSV exports than can be shown in the tool itself?
If the data's there but in a non-obvious place, the page needs to do a better job of explaining that to the user.

We understand your frustration, and know that having to download the CSV to find the 404 errors isn't the most obvious solution. It is on our list of things to work on. We do have some upgrades coming in the future, never fear!

Hi Ignitas,
To get some insights into what urls are linking to a 404 page the best would be to export your Crawl Diagnostics to CSV. These files contain the urls linking to your pages.
Hope this helps a bit! But I would still suggest to the Moz team to include this feature within the PRO tools.

SEOMoz says i have errors but goole webmaster doesnt show them - which one is right ?
I have about 350 websites all created in farcry 4.0 cms platform. When i do a site crawl using any seo tool ( seomoz, raven, screaming frog) it comes back telling me I have duplicate titles, description and content for a bunch of my pages. The pages are the same page its just that the crawl is showing the object Id and the friendly URL which is autocreated in the CMS as different pages. EXAMPLE these are the samge page but are recognised as different in SEOMOZ crawl test and therefore flagged as having duplicate title tags and content ... <colgroup span="1"><col style="width: 488pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 23771;" span="1" width="650"></colgroup>

Now i believe i can fix this by chucking in a rel=canonical at the top of each page ? (a big job over 350 sites) But even so - my problem is that the website developers are telling me that SEOMOZ and all the other tools are wrong - that google will see these the way it should, that the object ID's would not get indexed ( although i have seen at least one object id show up in the serps.) Do i believe the developers and trust that google has it sorted or go through the process of hassling the developers to get a rel=canonical added to all the pages? (the issue sees my homepage as about 4 different pages www.domain.com/ www.domain.com/home /index AND object id.0 -
Fixing errors from SEOmoz diagnostic survey
I just ran a report from the SEOmoz diagnostic survey and was surprised to see errors. How did I fix these errors? Thanks in advance for your help, I have been pleasantly surprised at the thoughtfulness and responsiveness of this community: Errors: 5XX (server error) Overly Dynamic URL 302 Temporary Redirect Too many on page links (how many is ideal?)
