How do get Moz to spider a Development site PRE LAUNCH?
-
Hi,
Does anyone know how we could get Moz to browse a development site before launch? But without Google and other engines indexing it?
Thanks

That would do it! Try this in robots.txt:
User-agent: Rogerbot
Disallow:User-agent: *
Disallow: /Keep in mind that this will only block crawlers that obey robots.txt. Once Roger crawls your site, it may be a good idea to lock the dev site down entirely.

Well, you could block Google and Bing from crawling your website (via Robots.txt) and run a Crawl via Moz, that's possible I think.

Got a problem in using MOZ Crawl test
Hello,

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

Moz Pro for Local Catering Company?
Is Moz Pro or Moz Content useful for a local catering company? I've started a trial to try to determine if it will benefit us. Our new site will be up next week so we don't currently have traffic. We will be using some Adsense and direct mail campaigns to get started, but not sure if Moz local will be sufficient. Please help connecting the dots. I know it would be good to rank higher for example "Catering Tahoe, Ca." But how would Moz help me see what kind of content to create for a local catering company? I'm not sure a blog article makes sense.

Finding out Who has high DA\PA and getting a backlink
Hi, So, like many others I was always in the top 3 for keywords in google for about a year, then 9 months ago we dropped, we now dont even exisit! (Page 10). One of the actions we are looking at is backlinks, however we have limited budget and want to work with domains that have high DA in order to help us, I assume this is good idea for us to do? Question, how can I easily identity domains that have high DA relevant to my sector? so I can engage in backlinks conversation David
