What do the dates refer to in seo moz reports
-
question is in the title - new trainee asked me and couldn't actually answer!
-
Thanks Sam, i've always viewed these reports as trend reports, but realised i had never understood the date formats underneath them!

Hi!
These dates just there to provide you with a timescale so you can see how your diagnostic issues have trended over time. The older the campaign is, the more the scale increases until you hit about a year. So for this example (http://screencast.com/t/U62XG8tCbni8), 2/1 refers to 2/1/13 and 4/16 refers to 4/16/13.
If you have an older campaign (say with a years worth of data), you'll see the graph that says something like 5/1, 7/1 [...] 3/1, 5/1. This would represent a 5/1/12 - 5/1/13 timeframe. Hopefully this helped clear up the graph Have a great day!
Best,
Sam

the particular date format I am refering to is in the crawl report - the dates are 10/1 7/1 4/1 repeated over and over
i have a feeling it is going to be a very obvious answer but, is it the number of days gone past and why would SEO not just use standard calendar dates?

Unsolved How to concat moz.com
Hello,
Moz Pro | | GrzegorzZ
I wanted to contact moz.com. I started my 30 day trial to test service.
After 2-3 days totally forgot about it. I remembered about moz.com when i received invoice saying they're gonna charge me.
I immediately wrote email to them that I do not want this service. I forgot and only put credit card data because i was required to. And would like a refund since it was 2-3 hours after bill. Unfortunately sending messages via their contact form is not an option. There is no confirmation on my email they received message nor return message from them.0 -
Is the Moz Spam Score a reliable detection of PBNs?
Hello Moz community I am looking at a couple of websites to guest post on and it feels almost too easy. I am concerned these sites may be part of a PBN. Their spam scores are quite low however (6% - 11%). Is the new Spam Score on Link Explorer (not Open Site Explorer) a reliable tool to vet PBNs? I asked a member of the Moz team but they didn't know. Perhaps another will. Here is the website http://www.dspacecloud.org/ Thank you in advance for your opinions.

Who else has inaccurate reporting? SEO Moz BUG
I have been in contact with support to little avail no timelines for the correction kind of leaves me out in the cold. I have loved SEOmoz in the past but this recent bug is costing me time and money. Can someone please tell me how they are working around all these issues in rank reporting and a zero accuracy rate on page report cards? bugs are holding up my SEO efforts. SEOmoz has been in touch but has provided no timelines. My programs are suffering. I found inaccuracy in each report metric and now have very little faith that this is going to be corrected in a timely fashion. I rely greatly on the wonderful tools SEOmoz provides and now I am flying blind. Who else has been hit by the bug? And, what has support done for you to help?

What SEO Tools Do You Use?
Things changed a bit for me when Raven Stopped using google and SemRush data and I haven't exactly found a solution I'm happy with so Just wanted to use what people use alongside SEOMoz, or what they use instead of certain parts of SEOMoz. Before I was using Raven Tools, Screaming Frog SEO Crawler but currently I'm using Screaming Frog SEO Crawler, SEOMoz (trial), and SerpIQ (trial).

SEO MOZ Timezone
I have looked & looked but I can not figure out how to set MY timezone on SEOMOZ? The dates are all wrong in my reports ... **Organic traffic data ** Last Data Update: 04/16/2012 Crawl Diagnostics Last Crawl Completed: Apr. 20th, 2012 Next Crawl Starts: Apr. 25th, 2012 Keyword Rankings "Your keywords are updated weekly on Saturday. The last update was April 19th, 2012." Yet today is Friday the 20th 2012??? It seems like each segment of the information is updated on a differing date?

How long does opensiteexplorer take to generate exportable reports
I tried exporting a few reports out of opensiteexplorer. They have been pending for more than 36 hours. Progress bar appears to be stuck. Is this normal? How long does it take to get the reports generated?
