Moz crawl error? DA & Linking domains significant drop.
-
Hi guys!
Our site www.carwow.co.uk appears to have been punched in the face by the latest Moz update. It's claiming our #linking root domains has dropped from 225 to 135 and has subsequently hit our DA from 38 to 35.
We haven't disavowed any links and our off-site strategy has been going well the past 2 months. Search performance has increased by around 15% (around 5k sessions) and rankings have improved week on week.
Any idea if this is a Moz error? That's almost a 50% drop in linking root domains.
Thanks,
James

My domain authority dropped by 2 points and page authority dropped by 1. From what I gather DA/PA are meaningless metric but I suppose it feels good for both to be high.

The good news is that the search engines don't use the Moz metrics in their updates, if that makes you feel any better. It could be that we just didn't crawl some of the domains that we crawled previously. I haven't seen any other reports of lots of linking root domains missing. Could you send in an email to [email protected] so we can send it to the proper team to make sure there wasn't an error in the latest update?
Thanks!
Keri

Unknown data items in Links API response
So I'm on the documentation page at https://mza.seotoolninja.com/help/links-api/making-calls/url-metrics . I've copied the bit fields table into a spreadsheet. I've removed all the "deprecated" items and have totalled up the remaining items making a Cols= value of 182537205900657000. For want of better knowledge, I've used that same value for LinkCols=, SourceCols= and TargetCols=. The request url ends up being (anonymized): http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/links/fordanddoonan.com.au?Cols=182537205900657000&AccessID=xxx&Expires=1557458487346&Signature=xxx&SourceCols=182537205900657000&TargetCols=182537205900657000&LinkCols=182537205900657000&Limit=1000&Scope=page_to_domain&Filter=external My question is, what do I make of all the extra fields that I get in the json packet what should I do to remove them? These extra fields are: lrid, lsrc, ltgt, luufq, luueid, lufeid, luujid, luumrp, luumrr, luflan, lufspf, lufsplc, lufspp, lufsps, lufspsc, luus, lufuid, lupuid, lufipl, luupa, lupda, luued, lufed, luped, lupib, luulc, flan, fspf, fsplc, fspp, fsps Is it simply a case of limiting the values of TargetCols, LinkCols and SourceCols? If so, to what?

803 Crawl attempt error
Hello I'd be very grateful for any advice with this: My insights show I have an 803 error. Now, under "pages with crawl attempt error" the page in question is just an uploaded image to wordpress. However, above the graph it says: "We were unable to access your homepage, which prevented us from crawling the rest of your site. It is likely that other browsers as well as search engines may encounter this problem and abort their sessions." Does this really mean my homepage? or is the only issue with the image? I have noticed for the past 8 weeks I'm getting 1 crawl attempt error every 2 weeks (so when viewed weekly I have 1 error one week, 0 error the next week etc) Is this normal? Since receiving this 803 error, I have significantly dropped in SERPS for 3 key terms I was on page 1 for (now dropped to pages 3-4). Could this be related? I realise this is a bit specific, but thanks in advance. Cheers 🙂

Oct 14 2015 MOZScape update: none of DA are changed?
Hello, everybody. Today I noticed that finally the latest release of mozscape update has been posted. Now, I noticed that NONE of 25 campaigns websites NOR any of their competitors DA has changed. I do understand that DA can stay the same, but 25+25*3=100 websites domain authorities hasn't changed at all since August 4th (the date of previous mozscape release)? Or is this happening only to me? Please advise.

Bulk download of crawl diagnostics csv files for multiple campaigns - any idea how to

I am trying to download all the campaigns diagnostics (High & Medium crawl-issues) on a regular basis, then with these cvs files then run some bulk extracts etc etc ... Appreciate any hint? Thank heaps 😉 Amy
