Why does Moz Analytics drop my Google Analytics connection every time I login?
-
I get the following message every time I check the Moz Analytics dashboard on any of the sites I manage. It seems like a bug in the system. Does anyone know how to fix it?
"We lost connection with your Google Analytics account. Don't worry — you won't lose any data. Please reauthorize now."

Thank you guys for your help! I disconnected by Google Analytics accounts and reconnected them. Now, everything works as it should. Thanks again!

As a side note, we now have http://health.moz.com/ where we list trending issues like this, and in the case of the GA connection, the solution. We hope this will make it easier in the future when events like this happen.

Hey Chad,
I'm really sorry that you are running into this issue with Google Analytics. Unfortunately, the problem is that Google is serving us an invalid authorization token for the connection, so I'm afraid you will need to completely disconnect from GA and then reconnect. If you just reauthorize without fully disconnecting from the account, Google just feeds us the same authorization token, which is no longer valid. I apologize that the error message isn't more clear! We are working on updating that to explain the process more clearly in the future, but the only way for us to get a valid token would be to completely disconnect and the reconnect to your GA account.
I hope this helps. Please let us know if this still does not work for you.

Unfortunately, Moz hasn't done a very good job of proactively notifying users about this bug and its fix, Chad.
The trick is, you have to complete disconnect the GA account form your campaign, then reconnect it from scratch (as opposed to just reauthorizing it.)
There's a note in the Trending Bugs post (3rd entry down) that explains it.
http://moz.com/community/q/trending-bugs-in-moz-analyticsNote that it may take 24 hrs for the newly-connected data to start to show up again.
Hope that helps?

Interestingly, I can't get my Google Analytics to work at all. Once I'm notified that my connection has been dropped, I manually reconnect it and it shows that it has connected, but it again says that my connection has been dropped as soon as I refresh the page or navigate to a different page in the Moz dashboard. It has rendered my Google Analytics data completely useless.
Thanks for your help, Ruben!

I've seen this question pop up at least 20 times in the past 6 months, and the answer that I have always seen given is: they're working on it. And, the only solution at this time is to just manually reconnect it. I hope you get a better answer this time, but I'd think they'd make an announcement, if and when they finally get it perfected.
Best,
Ruben

Moz claims we have meta noindex but we don't
Hi, I'm encountering an issue where moz scan says we have meta noindex, but I have confirmed across several of our pages that this simply isn't true. I have confirmation that the below tag is present: name="robots" content="index, follow" /> I also verified our https header through https://www.webconfs.com/http-header-check.php and see nothing indicating that we are sending any no index headers. Why would the crawler report this when it doesn't seem to be the case? Let me know if I need to provide more information.

Why is on-demand crawl reporting numbers that are very different than the regualr site crawl by Moz?
When I look at the site crawl available through my dashboard, it reports 22.9K pages crawled. I just ran a on-demand crawl and it is only reporting 6K pages crawled. Why is the number so much lower?

How is Moz's DA score so high?
Obviously they make the tool that measures this, but is their own score inflated because of this? I know DA isn't strictly a measure of popularity, but Moz's own score seems a little _too _high compared to some other sites... 92 - Moz.com 90 - Salesforce.com 87 - Airbnb.com 84 - Priceline.com 83 - Squarespace.com Can someone shed some light on how DA is actually measured?

Crawl Diagnostics: Exlude known errors and others that have been detected by mistake? New moz analytics feature?
I'm curious if the new moz analytics will have the feature (filter) to exclude known errors from the crwal diagnostics. For example, the attached screenshot shows the URL as 404 Error, but it works fine: http://en.steag.com.br/references/owners-engineering-services-gas-treatment-ogx.php To maintain a better overview which errors can't be solved (so I just would like to mark them as "don't take this URL into account...") I will not try to fix them again next time. On the other hand I have hundreds of errors generated by forums or by the cms that I can not resolve on my own. Also these kind of crawl errors I would like to filter away and categorize like "errors to see later with a specialist". Will this come with the new moz analytics? Anyway is there a list that shows which new features will still be implemented? knPGBZA.png?1
