Rel Canonical and Moz Crawl
-
we have Rel Canonical tags set up on a few pages. When viewing the page source, the tags are correct. However, Moz Crawl results show the opposite.
for example the page source, correctly shows, URL X with a Rel canonical Tag of URL Y
but.. Moz crawl is showing URL Y with a Rel Canonical Tag of URL X ..any thoughts why this would happen? which should i trust more? -
Sara, if you're 301ing a page that also includes a rel=canonical directive, the rel=canonical will not be seen because the server redirects the user before they get to the page. If the pages are identical, you can rel=canonical one to the other and both URL will be available to the user. A 301 will prevent a user from landing on that page.

looks like after today's crawl, moz is correct. (the tags were wrong on site, and we fixed it.. but it didn't show up correct in the test crawls we did earlier this week).
-
we're actually 301 redirecting the page as well. should we remove the rel canonical?
It's a product id url (open cart default) vs a keyword optimized url
We don't want the product id url showing up on search results, as the content of the page doesn't mirror the Keyword optimized url - (Shopping cart is missing, image is missing. basically it's just text)
-
Lets not be hypothetical. If the exact url is shared, may be you will get a concrete and exact reply !!
-
Assuming you are absolutely sure your page has been set up correctly, you should trust that data source more. How is Google showing up the pages when you're performing a 'site:www.yoursitename.com' search?

In Moz Campaigns, how are competitor domains tracked if they redirect their site?
Hello! One of our competitors (Company A) that we've tracked in Moz for a long time recently merged with another company (Company B) and redirected their whole site to Company B's site. Will our competitor tracking still work as-is? Or do we need to make an adjustment? I'm reluctant to delete Company A from our competitor tracking, because we will lose all of that data. But if all of the keywords are slowly going to drop off as Google starts showing Company B results only, it may be the only option. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

External Links not showing in MOZ?
Hello:) I have a ton of external links on my site, but there not showing on MOZ? The reason i'm slightly concerned is because my top competitor has 80 and I show as only having 3? Does any one know why this would be? Also, my traffic on MOZ is a lot lower then my traffic report on Google Analytics? Is that normal, & which should I trust more? Here's my Site: Www.ThumannAgency.com Thank you in advance:)

Internal Links Count in Crawl Report
My understanding of the 'Internal Links' results in a moz crawl report is that it represents the number of links on the given page that link to other pages on the same site.Assuming this is a correct assumption: We recently ran a crawl report on www.phase1tech.com. Some of the pages are coming back with a large amount of 'internal links'. These 2 pages for example are showing 800 internal links: http://www.phase1tech.com/Upcoming-Events
Moz Bar | | AISEO
http://www.phase1tech.com/Contact Then there are a number of pages coming back with 705 Internal Links, including: http://www.phase1tech.com/Dalsa-CameraLink-Cameras
http://www.phase1tech.com/Hitachi-CameraLink-Cameras At best there are approximately 70-80 links on these pages. Where are these large counts coming from? Is there a means to see what the links being reported on are? At the same time the 'Too Many On-Page Links' indicates 'No' for some pages with a high number of links, and 'Yes' for pages with a low number of links. For example: http://www.phase1tech.com/Baumer-SX-Series
Too Many On-Page Links: Yes
Internal Links: 2

Has MOZ stopped including Text to Code Ratio?
My Moz extension no longer displays text to code ratio. Anyone else encounter this or know why it's gone? I see it in videos and descriptions and I used to see it in my extension, but it is no longer there.

Moz is reporting a broken link error but GWT is not
My latest Moz report is showing a 404 for: http://www.fateyes.com/how-will-googles-hummingbird-affect-your-search-ranking/”ht
Moz Bar | | gfiedel
(and showing the link this way with the characters after the last / which are not part of the page URL) Google Webmaster Tools says we have no errors. I'm wondering why there is this descrepancy and I'm wondering how I can track down where this link is originating from on our site. I've tried downloading screamingfrog and deeptrawl to no avail (java issues). I've also tried a couple of services online and installed Broken Link Checker plugin with no luck finding it. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!0 -
