MOZ Site Crawl - Ignore functionality question
-
Quick question about the ignore feature found in the MOZ Site Crawl.
We've made some changes to pages containing errors found by the MOZ Site Crawl. These changes should have resolved issues but we're not sure about the "Ignore" feature and do not want to use it without first understanding what will happen when using it.
- Will it clear the item from the current list until the next Site Crawl takes place. If Roger finds the issue again, it will relist the error?
- Will it clear the item from the list permanently, regardless if it has not been properly corrected?

Hi Jo,
I have a query on crawling errors, can you please look into my post on Moz Q&A forum and it will be great if you can help me with this.

Hi folks!
Jo from the Moz help team here, you can now choose to mark issues as Fixed!
When you mark issues as "Fixed" we'll check back when your campaign next updates (or you force a recrawl) to see if it persists.

ViviCa1, Thank you. I think I'll now be requesting a new feature.

It clears the item from the list permanently (until you choose to un-ignore it). I only use it for things that Moz finds but that we are not planning or unable to fix (or that are supposed to be this way). So if you have fixed the issues, don't ignore them, they will just be removed from the list when the next crawl is done.

Localized pages with hreflang markup being reported by Moz as duplicate content
We have 5 websites, each targeted at a different geography. They are all in English, but targeted per country (e.g. US, Canada, UK, Australia). And we've properly implemented hreflang tags on each page, with the US site being the x-default, and with each country-specific page having a self-referencing hreflang tag as well as individual hreflang tags pointing to the other country-specific versions. All seems to be working properly with the search engines. But, each week in our Moz Pro campaigns, Moz reports the pages as "duplicate content". It seems that Moz does not regard the hreflang tags when deciding if content is duplicate or not. I'm not 100% sure that's what's causing Moz to report them as duplicate, but it's my best guess. To date, I've been marking these as "ignore". But, that creates two problems. First, we have new pages all the time, and so this gets to be laborious. Second, it makes it somewhat likely we might miss a real duplicate content issue. Can someone confirm whether Moz should be looking at hreflang tags before considering pages as dupliacte? And possibly offer any suggestions to us if Moz doesn't do that?

In Moz's Keyword Explorer/Explore By Site, Can I Exclude a Keyword From the Results?
Hypothetical question - Let's say I sell tax preparation software and I want to see the keywords that "turbotax.com" ranks highest for. Based on that list I might want to optimize for similar keywords on my site. But if I use Keyword Explorer, select "Root Domain", and enter "turbotax.com" as the root domain, the first 200 or so keywords in the list have the word "turbo". None of those interest me. Can I exclude certain keywords (like "turbo") from the list? Thanks.

Can Moz change this on the Subscriptions dashboard?
Hey Moz, Bit of a random bug bear of mine, each month I log in to download the latest invoice receipt to hand over to accounts for processing etc. After I click the billing and subscriptions link from the profile drop down menu, I am presented with the subscriptions page. The payment history panel placed located on the right all ways shows my first 3 invoices. As this is a snippet in time, would it not be more beneficial from a UX perspective to show the most recent 3 invoices. That way I can get the info I require that tiny bit quicker rather than be presented with invoices that are 3 years old. I know it is a tiny thing but wondered i it could be accommodated. 🙂 Many thanks Tim ypjDGDk

Crawl diagnostic errors due to query string
I'm seeing a large amount of duplicate page titles, duplicate content, missing meta descriptions, etc. in my Crawl Diagnostics Report due to URLs' query strings. These pages already have canonical tags, but I know canonical tags aren't considered in MOZ's crawl diagnostic reports and therefore won't reduce the number of reported errors. Is there any way to configure MOZ to not consider query string variants as unique URLs? It's difficult to find a legitimate error among hundreds of these non-errors.
