Why does the moz bar link count differ from the moz link analysis page
-
Hi all,
Why does the Moz Bar show a different link count from the Moz link analysis page? For example, when I check the SERP below, for the first result, the bar shows 936 page links from 4 RDs. But when I check out the link analysis page, it tells me there are just 141 page links from 4 RDs. What gives?
For the second entry, the bar shows 6 page links from 0 RDs. Not sure how that's possible.
Can anyone explain these things.
Thanks!
Andy

Hi there Andy,
Thanks so much for writing in to us - Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
I think the issue here is this - it's worth nothing that MozBar displays Total links (internal and external links), so if you're seeing a large amount of links and 0 RDs I would recommend checking the Link Explorer Compare Link Profiles tab to see a breakdown of the results.
https://mza.bundledseo.com/help/guides/link-explorer/compare-link-profilesIn this case you'll see that for instance for the page with 6 links from 0 RDs, the 6 links are internal links. The link analysis will show you results for that specific page - in the compare link profiles section you can see for the 936 page links/4 RDs, that is the set of total links. The 141 links would be links pointing just to that page.
I hope this helps but do let me know if I can help with anything else!

Got a problem in using MOZ Crawl test
Hello,
Getting Started | | turkeyanaclinic
Guys i need help as i'm getting this message "**Moz was unable to crawl your site on Dec 26, 2017. **Our crawler was not able to access the robots.txt file on your site. This often occurs because of a server error from the robots.txt. Although this may have been caused by a temporary outage, we recommend making sure your robots.txt file is accessible and that your network and server are working correctly. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster."
After i made a Campaign i'm getting this message but after i created new campaign it crawls well

Standard Syntax in robots.txt doesn't prevent Moz bot from crawling
A client is getting many false positive site crawl errors for things like duplicate titles and duplicate content on pages that include /tag/ in the URL. An example is https://needquest.com/place_tag/autism-spectrum-disorder/page/4/ To resolve this we have set up a disallow statement in the robots.txt file that says

Disallow: /page/ For some reason this appears not to work, as the site crawl errors continue to list pages like this. Does anyone understand why that would be and what we need to do to properly disallow crawling these pages?0 -
Moz Pro for simple local seo status reporting
I have a new client on a small budget with a local yoga studio. There's been no SEO work on this site so far, so, after the basics, I plan to work through the items on this list: https://mza.bundledseo.com/blog/top-20-local-search-ranking-factors-an-illustrated-guide I'm a new Moz Pro user and am looking for advice on how to use Moz Pro tools with my client to review progress over time...a simple checklist of reports/metrics to share and track, and to use in weekly status reports. Or, in other words, how can I configure and use Moz Pro tools for basic progress tracking? This is not a sophisticated, SEO-savvy client, so I want to keep things very simple. Thanks for any ideas or pointers. Dave

Moz Staff: History + Watch List
Hi All, I have been going crazy trying to find a thread I read last week ... I think!
Getting Started | | Mark_Ch
Several search attempts later, no closer to finding the thread in question. A genius moment or simple frustration got me thinking. How cool would it be to have the following features on MOZ Q&A Forum. Watch List
1] Check off any threads that you would like to monitor over time. Should you stumble upon a thread of value then simply add to watch list and view it's progress over time. No searching for the thread in question. History
2] Keep a history off all threads viewed over a period of time. Thanks Mark0 -
Mozbar highlight links in firefox
I use Mozbar to check for nofollow links on any website. Recently I changed from Chrome to Firefox and it appears that the link highlight function is behaving different on the latter.
Getting Started | | Trbl
On a page with nofollow in the robot.txt links are highlighted both when selecting nofollowed (pink) and followed (green) links. In Chrome it used to highlight only the nofollow links (as is correct in this case) Did anyone notice this behaviour too? Seems like a bug.0 -
