Mozscape Index
-
Hello:
There was a Mozscape Index scheduled 9/8/2015 and now it go pushed back October 8,2015.
There seems to be a lot of delays with the Mozscape Index. Is this something we should expect? Updates every 2 months instead of every month?
Thanks!

Thank you for your question and concerns. Moz is committed to providing high quality metrics. I wrote a piece about it prior to my joining Moz a month or two ago comparing the proportional representativeness of Moz's index to Google vs. the other major providers, which showed that Moz's crawl was more representative of Google than any other. An unfortunate side effect of monitoring index and metric quality is actually doing something about it when things don't look quite right. We would rather know we delayed an unsatisfactory release than not know if we delivered a satisfactory one.
That being said, I think you will be pleasantly surprised over the next year or so with the improvements you see coming out of the Big Data team in everything from quality to quantity and stability. They are doing some truly amazing things.

Yeah, you guys have pretty much nailed it. So sorry, again, for the delay!

Moz finally added an update on the Mozscape API Updates page:
https://mza.seotoolninja.com/products/api/updates
TL:DR; This month's update has been cancelled.

Just adding to what Dmitrii said...
Rand offered an explanation in August on this Q&A - https://mza.seotoolninja.com/community/q/august-3rd-mozscape-index-update-our-largest-index-but-nearly-a-monthly-late.
Like Dmitrii, while I can understand why the delays are happening, I hate learning after the fact that the update is delayed. I've concluded that every two months is the new normal, at least for now, and am setting my own and client expectations accordingly.

Hello there.
If you go here - https://mza.seotoolninja.com/products/api/updates You can see that it's far the first delay and that it's somewhat "normal". So, I'm kind of used to it. Now, also if you go here - https://mza.seotoolninja.com/about/jobs#listings
You can see that there are lots of open positions for engineering staff. So, if you are willing to help MOZ improve - there is a good chance They are growing and their amount of clientele is growing even faster. I'm not trying to justify the delay, but at the same time i do understand why it's happening.

Do you fetch website titles from paid api https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-api/mozscape/api-reference/url-metrics?
We are using one of your API: https://mza.seotoolninja.com/help/guides/moz-api/mozscape/api-reference/url-metrics on our website and it does not show up the title for each website.

But when I see the title of the same website through your extension Moz Bar, then it does show the title from the extension of that website. Can you tell me what is missing here?0 -
/index.php causing a few issues
Hey Mozzers, Our site uses magento. Pages within the site (not categories or products) are set to display as www.domain.co.uk/page-url/ The hta access is set to redirect all version such as www.domain.co.uk/page-url to a url ending in a / However in google analytics and in moz landing page tracker these urls are being represented by www.domain.co.uk/page-url/index.php When visiting www.domain.co.uk/page-url/index.php a 404 is displayed. I know that by default when directed to a directory it automatically finds and displays the index file. So i understand why this is happening to some degree. However, when manually visiting this link does not exist. This poses a problem when trying to view the landing pages information in moz pro. I have 20 keywords being tracked in relation to www.domain.co.uk/page-url/ but because moz is recording it as www.domain.co.uk/page-url/index.php the keywords are unrelated so not showing information in relation to the page. Any ideas?

Mozscape API - Keyword Rankings?
Hi, I'm using the free access to the Mozscape API and while I'm still a novice about what data the Mozscape API can pull I can't seem to figure how to pull the keyword rankings for my campaigns. I reviewed https://mza.seotoolninja.com/help/guides/moz-api/mozscape/api-reference/url-metrics but can't seem to find what value I need to call. Can someone guide me in the right direction or is this something only the paid version has access to?

First Mozscape index of the year is live
I'm happy to announce, the first index of the year is out. We did have a smaller count of subdomains, but correlations are generally up and coverage of what's in Google looks better, too. We're giving that one a high five! We've (hopefully) removed a lot of foreign and spam subdomains, which you might see reflected in your spam links section. (another woot!) Here are some details about this index release: 145,549,223,632 (145 billion) URLs 1,356,731,650 (1 billion) subdomains 200,255,095 (200 million) root domains 1,165,625,349,576 (1.1 Trillion) links Followed vs nofollowed links 3.17% of all links found were nofollowed 63.49% of nofollowed links are internal 36.51% are external Rel canonical: 26.50% of all pages employ the rel=canonical tag The average page has 89 links on it 72 internal links on average 17 external links on average Thanks!
