          Unsolved Crawling error emails

          crawl error

          Recently we start having random error messages about crawling issue:
          2024-08-30 edweek:Ok
          2024-08-29 marketbrief:Err. advertise: Err, edweek:Err, topschooljobs:Ok
          2024-08-23 edweek:Ok
          2024-08-22 marketbrief:Err. advertise: Err, edweek:Err
          2024-08-21 topschooljobs:Ok, edweek:Ok
          2024-08-15 marketbrief:Ok. advertise:OK
          2024-08-13 edweek:Ok
          2024-08-12 marketbrief:Ok
          2024-08-08 marketbrief:Ok, advertise:Ok
          2024-08-03 edweek:Ok, topschooljobs:Ok
          All for 2024-07 - are Ok Yesterday I set 2 more crawls for the same sites (edweek and marketbrief) and I get a morning email about original edweek site is ok (still have some problem but crawl occurs and all is fine) but for test crawl for the same site "EW Test" I just got error email.
          Also I suppressed ALL email communications and frankly surprised by this email. Can you please check what is wrong with a crawler or stat collection or I don't know who produced the issues.

          Unsolved No replies from help@moz.com - one of our IPs is blocked by Cloudflare so we cannot access Moz Community from there

          error access denied help

          Hi all,
          I am a bit at my wits end trying to get some acknowledgement from MOZ. Have had no replies, no ticket auto-replies, no updates on any of the messages I have sent via the Moz Help Form on the website. Literally nothing. I wanted to avoid having to post publicly, but does anyone know how to raise a "technical problem" ticket with MOZ? help@moz.com never replies and the Help Form doesn't generate any kind of ticket. From our main office we get an "Access denied" Error (via Cloudflare) specifically for the Moz Community area. This happened to us in February of this year and has been happening again all through May. After testing ourselves with our IT, we determine that MOZ's Cloudflare account has incorrectly blocked the dedicated IP address specific to the internet connection at our head office. This means that none of our Moz User accounts can access anything related to the Community area in our account when working at the studio. We can only do so when working remotely (ie. some other IP address). This is incredibly frustrating, particularly as we've been on a proper paid MOZ account for many years. And I have sent numerous email requests, messages via the Form, etc., and have never heard back from anyone at all. The problem has been on-going for some time and I guess it is my fault because I tried to politely wait a fair amount of time between each follow-up. Only to realize that, actually, I don't think anyone is monitoring help@moz.com or even the Form submissions, or are even looking into the issue for me. Am hoping this message is seen by someone at Moz so they can let me know what is going on please? Guys..... c'mon.....

          Unsolved Strange "?offset" URL found with content crawl issues

          crawl error url issue

          I recently recieved a slew of content crawl issues via Moz for URL's that I have never seen before For example:
          Standard URL: https://skilldirector.com/news,
          Newly identified URL: https://skilldirector.com/news?offset=1469542207800&category=Competency+Management). Does anyone know where the URL comes from and how to fix it?

          Unsolved Moz can't crawl my site

          crawl error crawl errors

          Moz is being blocked from crawling the following site - https://www.cleanchain.com. When looking at Robot.txt, the following is disallowing access but don't know whether this is preventing Moz from crawling too? User-agent: *
          Disallow: /adeci/
          Disallow: /core/
          Disallow: /connectors/
          Disallow: /assets/components/ Could something else be preventing the crawl?

          Is anyone else experiencing a lot of bugs in moz?

          It seems like there have been a lot of bugs in moz over the last couple of days - is anyone else experiencing anything similar? Scheduled reports have sections coming through blank, same thing happens when trying to edit the module in the report - it's just blank. Yesterday, trying to use the KW explorer the SERP portion of the tool would not work and the metrics gathering seemed to be endless. Also been receiving various error messages across many different reports

          Moz Local support -- please address our dashboard issues.

          We are experiencing issues with two client locations for Hillcrest. Hillcrest Home Care and Hillcrest Hospice Care. The Hospice Care location is displaying as Home Care, and one of the duplicate Home Cares is saying it is paused. This might be due to the fact that Google flagged Hospice Care as a duplicate of Home Care, because they are at the same address but have different suite numbers. Please help ASAP. Thanks.

          Reset my MOZ Account?

          I recently redesigned my 2 websites.  Both are large 80+ page sites with unique text on every page, no keyword stuffing and generally using all the proper SEO techniques ( I hired a professional w/ 10 years experience).  My pages rank for the targeted terms, but MOZ reports say "Not in the Top 50".  I had friends run "Clean Searches" from the west coast and we were ranking.  Prior to the redesign, I used MOZ and the reports were very accurate.  Should I reset my MOZ account or what?
