      I have a site with 48 linking domains and 200 total links showing in Google Search Console. These are legit and good quality links.

      Since creating a campaign 2 months ago, Moz link explorer for the same site only shows me 2 linking domains and 3 total links.

      I realise Moz cannot crawl with the same speed and depth as Google but this is poor performance for a premium product and doesn't remotely reflect the link profile of the domain.

      Is there a way to submit a sitemap or list of links to Moz for the purpose of crawling and adding to Link Explorer?

        Yes, Moz offers a feature called "Link Tracking Lists" that allows users to submit a list of URLs for tracking in Link Explorer. Here's how you can do it:

        Log in to your Moz account and navigate to the "Link Explorer" tool.

        Click on "Add a New Tracking List" or "Create a New List" (depending on the interface).

        Enter a name for your tracking list and add the URLs you want to track. You can enter individual URLs or upload a CSV file containing a list of URLs.

        Once you've added the URLs, Moz will begin crawling and tracking those links in Link Explorer.

        Keep in mind that while this feature allows you to track specific URLs, it may not guarantee immediate or comprehensive coverage of all links. Moz's crawling capabilities may vary compared to search engines like Google.

        By utilizing the Link Tracking Lists feature, you can submit specific URLs or a list of links to Moz for crawling and inclusion in Link Explorer, which can provide additional insights into your site's link profile beyond what is automatically discovered by Moz's regular crawling process.

            Even though Moz's tool doesn't search websites as thoroughly or quickly as Google does, the fact that it's not showing all your links is worrying.

                Unsolved Why does Moz Crawler start with HTTP//1.1 version??

                crawl

                We have run Moz Pro's Site Crawl for example-domain.com Why has Moz's crawler decided to site http://www.example-domain.com (ie the non-secure version) as zero crawl depth page and report the actually live https://www.example-domain.com (ie secure HTTP2 version) as a crawl depth of 2? Surely the main live page should be the first crawled and reported as crawl depth = 0?

                Moz Toolbar "Get Keyword Difficulty"

                New Moz Pro user here, and I've a question about the green "Get Keyword Difficulty" button that shows up to the right of the Google Search Keyword Term Input field after a successful search.  Clicking on this seems to have no effect for me what-so-ever.  Doesn't take me to the keyword tool, download a report, or add anything to the one screen link analyses in the search results.  In short, i'm not sure how this tool is supposed to function. I'm using the latest version of Google Chrome (Version 52.0.2743.60 beta-m (64-bit)) on a Windows 10 machine.

                The PA and DA shows as one. The message is "It looks like we haven't discovered established link data for this URL yet." But its shows me that there are facebook shares. Therefore, it can't be the reasons stated below.

                Is there some way to tell the Moz crawler not to crawl URL's with particular dynamic tags such as "?redirect-to:http//" ?

                We are encountering an issue where the crawler is finding a ton of pages from our wordpress login url that has this dynamic tag in it to kinds of different blog entries.  It's madness.  I can't figure out what is causing these URLs to generate to be crawled in the first place!  Does this sound familiar to anyone out there, any constructive suggestions?  Robots text or maybe meta robots tags that would resolve this crawl issue?
