Rel Canonical and Moz Crawl
-
we have Rel Canonical tags set up on a few pages. When viewing the page source, the tags are correct. However, Moz Crawl results show the opposite.
for example the page source, correctly shows, URL X with a Rel canonical Tag of URL Y
but.. Moz crawl is showing URL Y with a Rel Canonical Tag of URL X ..any thoughts why this would happen? which should i trust more? -
Sara, if you're 301ing a page that also includes a rel=canonical directive, the rel=canonical will not be seen because the server redirects the user before they get to the page. If the pages are identical, you can rel=canonical one to the other and both URL will be available to the user. A 301 will prevent a user from landing on that page.

looks like after today's crawl, moz is correct. (the tags were wrong on site, and we fixed it.. but it didn't show up correct in the test crawls we did earlier this week).
-
we're actually 301 redirecting the page as well. should we remove the rel canonical?
It's a product id url (open cart default) vs a keyword optimized url
We don't want the product id url showing up on search results, as the content of the page doesn't mirror the Keyword optimized url - (Shopping cart is missing, image is missing. basically it's just text)
-
Lets not be hypothetical. If the exact url is shared, may be you will get a concrete and exact reply !!
-
Assuming you are absolutely sure your page has been set up correctly, you should trust that data source more. How is Google showing up the pages when you're performing a 'site:www.yoursitename.com' search?

Why isn't the Moz bar data populating for Yahoo sites?
The Moz bar isn't populating information for Yahoo homepage or it's verticals (i.e. homes, autos, finance, etc.), but I can get this data for other portals like AOL or MSN. I'm specifically looking for PA, mR, and DA information, but instead I get a generic "Search Profile" bar with no page/site-specific data.

MoZ vs Alexa & Moz vs Google
My colleague is continuously arguing with me why i went for Moz and why not for Alexa, He also says when Google is there then why Moz. I tried on my part to convince him but he has his own learning. Can anybody help me make him understand otherwise my job will become hard if he remains doubtful about Moz? Looking for down to earth and an honest feedback. Thanks Tanveer

Can you give some examples of MOZ Local Partners who have an API and update quickly?
In answering questions about the speed of MOZ Local, I've seen this a few times: "The time it takes our partners to update the listing really depends on whether or not they have an API. If they do have an API, the listing will be updated pretty much immediately." Can someone provide a list of which Partners have an API, and which do not?
