No data in Moz
-
Hello,
Since last tuesday there has been no data in Moz anymore. The error code for the homepage says:
'608 : Page not decodable as specified Content-Encoding:'
I checked this list http://moz.com/help/pro/why-can-t-rogerbot-crawl-my-site but it doesn't tell me more.
Hopefully anyone can help me.Thanks,
Marcel

Yesterday another crawl failed. Moz's Help team told me on the 15th of November:
'Our engineers are looking at this now and I should have news for you today. Sorry for the delay, I'm sure we can figure this one out.' Since that day I haven't received one message from the Help team, very disappointing.
I'm missing the data of one month now and this is not acceptable.

A new campaign for a new website we have just launched caused no crawling problems. This seems to tell there is no Gzip error at server admin side. Moz is working on this case so I hope to get a positive word soon.

Hi Joel,
Today I subscribed for a trial period with Raven Tools. This tool can actually crawl our website. This tells me that the issue is possibly not a Gzip error but an issue on Moz's side.
Gzip is a piece of technique which is not required for browsers to show pages. I suppose that Gzip is neither required for the Moz bot to crawl a site. A lot of websites do not use Gzip what should mean that they can't get their website crawled by Moz?
What possible solutions are there to solve this problem? Is opening a whole new account a solution? I suppose that some technical masterminds are working for Moz. Could you pass this case to them to get the problems solved?
I contacted our server admin again but they already told us nothing happened lately related to this problem.
Thanks again.

Hey Marcel,
I looked at your latest crawl and it appears you're still getting that gzip error.
Unfortunately I don't have any way to see more about your server since the crawl is dying at the www subdomain.
Sorry I couldn't shed any more light on this.
You may be able to have your server admin check your logs using the timestamp in the CSV as a reference and see what happened.
Thanks,
Joel. -
I found out that hiding the navigational items caused the Google ranking problems. This has been solved now. Still there is no data in my crawl diagnostics report and it got updated again on the 6th of November. Two empty updates now.
Why can Roger bot only see two indexed pages? Can anybody help me with this problem? I need to see all the data again.
Thanks.

Hi Joel,
Thanks for your reaction. I checked several Gzip tools and they are all telling me there are no problems with the Gzip on our website. I also contacted our server admin and I am waiting for more information now.
Another issue we are dealing with is that we have lost some (over 15 positions/ categories) of our organic positions since last Sunday. And new pages won't appear in the SERP (but will get indexed) where they used to gain a top 10 ranking one or two days after putting them online. Ofcourse with high quality content. It seems like Google are devaluating our pages for some reason. Since last Friday we have lost some organic traffic every day (10-20%).
Could there be a correlation between the Gzip error and the oganic position drops? I was thinking about: a Gzip problem will cause page load time problems (which we have last few days on the homepage) > page load time is a Google ranking factor > higher page load times means a drop in organic positions what means a organic traffic drop.
Another thing I was thinking about is a website change we have made last week. We hid some navigational items by just adding them as 'hidden items' in the source code. Since hidden content has been not done by Google guidelines, could this be a reason for the position drops? We undid this change this morning to hopefully regain our positions.
Could you help me further by thinking with me or giving me some new insights?
Thank you very much.

Hey Marcel,
Thanks for the question. It looks like what happened is that when we hit your www home page we got a gzip error. Unfortunately I don't have any specific advice on how to resolve this but you should be able to work with your server admin to determine the cause and solution of this.
Thanks!
Joel.

Can Moz generate 404 Broken links report in an excel format
Hi all, Hope you are doing good and that all is well at your end. I'm a marketing team member here at Zephyr and I take care of the content side things for the team. I'm reaching out to you this morning in regards to figuring whether any Moz feature can be used for fixing broken links on our website and whether or not it can generate the broken links report which can be exported and saved in a spreadsheet. We are in the middle of cleaning up all the broken links which are currently live on our drupal site and which is why we are in need of a tool that generates the report of all the broken links onto an excel spreadsheet.Once we have the list of broken links set in a spreadsheet, we will work towards fixing those links. Meanwhile, we have also created a 404 error image for our readers who can be directed towards our homepage. Please, let me know if you can help me take care of these below-mentioned requests: 1. Suggest a tool /Moz feature which can generate the site report and list of broken links onto excel/spreadsheet 2. Once I've the list in an excel format, is there an automated way in which we can fix all the broken links which are currently live on our website, instead of manually deleting/unlinking those pages. Truly appreciate your help. Thank you! Is there an automated way in which we can fix all the broken links which are currently live on our website, instead of manually deleting/unlinking those pages.

How do Moz tools handle signs for "PHRASE" and [EXACT MATCH] KW queries?
Hello, As some of my projects are in competitive niche markets, I often chase exact match KW to handle with. However, when using 'Moz >> Keyword Difficulty Report' I'm getting SAME Search Volume result - regardless using broad match, phrase or exact match KWs. Have I missed something? Ranking result's and are however different and seems to correspond to different type of KW search ( which type of KW all its. Please share some light on this.

Site Explorer - No Data Available for this URL
Hi All I have just joined on the trial offer, im not sure if i can afford the monthly payments, but im hoping SEOmoz will show me that i also cannot afford to be without it! In my proses of learning this site and flicking through each section to see what things do. However when i enter my URL into Site Explorer i get the following message "No Data Available for this URL" My site should be crawl-able, so how do i get to see data for my site/s. I wont post my URL here, as the site has a slightly adult theme.

How current is the data reflected in the SEOmoz toolbar?
Been using the SEOmoz toolbar for three weeks, yet nothing on my site seems to have changed in terms of rankings and metrics. How new or "fresh" is the data that the toolbar uses to come up with PA, mR, mT, DA, DmR, and DmT? How often does it update?

Using the 'Organic Traffic Data ' feature.
I don't have access to the clients Google Analytics Password. Can you set it up without being redirected to Google webmasters? Is there a way to insert a simple code into the website and then have SEOmoz double check the code? Thanks so much

How Long For New Keyword Rank Data?
I have a PRO account and added the initial keywords and got the immediate rankings for those. Then I added new keywords and those have not been updated. How long do I have to wait to get Keyword Ranking data on those keywords. I know it says they are updated every Friday, but does that mean I have to wait until next Friday for my first run of data on new keywords?? I ask because I have to present to a client before then and I require the data for that meeting. Any insight is appreciated.
