On-Page Grader supporting HTTPS?
-
Hi there,
I am getting the error "Sorry, but this URL is inaccessible" on the Moz On-Page Grader. I have tested with multiple URL's but any that link to my site give the error. I have noticed my site's URL's redirect to https so my question is..is the on-page grader in-compatible with https?
Cheers!

Oh good! I'm glad you were able to find the source!
We actually use a set of dynamic IPs, so there's not a range that I'd be able to provide. I'm afraid the best things I could suggest would be to ask them to whitelist our user agents, dotbot and rogerbot.

Thanks Jordan, it didn't make a difference but what I found was that my hosting company was blocking Amazon Web Services. They said they need a range of IP's from the cloud service that Moz uses to unblock, is there anyway you can advise me on what these are and is Amazon the cloud service that Moz uses?
Cheers!

I would expect that to take care of the issue

I've changed it too:
User-agent: rogerbot
Allow: /
Would this let Moz crawl the site?
-
Hmm I thought that too! It's strange though because my site is being indexed on Google and Moz is able to crawl it for other features. When I run the robots test in Google Webmaster Tools, the one where you run a test to see if URL's are blocked and you pick a bot e.g Googlebot...it says everything is working ok and it is allowed? Wouldn't that not be the case if bots were blocked from crawling the site?
-
Ah, yep, that would do it!
That configuration is currently blocking every bot known to man from accessing every portion of your site. Here's an awesome resource to help with robots.txt setup: http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html
If you were looking to allow all robots to access all pages on your site, then this command would do the trick:
User-agent: *
Disallow:
(Without the blank line between commands. Q&A formatting be damned. )

Hi Jordan,
Thanks a million for your response! I am still having the same issue..my robots.txt is as follows:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /Would this be blocking those bots? I know this blocks bots from accessing ALL content, but does it block all bots from accessing my site in general? Should I be changing it and if so, what would you recommend I change to allow for optimal crawling?
Cheers and thanks for taking the time to respond!

Hi Ross!
On-Page Grader should definitely function for https sites, in general. For example, https://mza.seotoolninja.com looks to be working just fine.If you're getting that response from On-Page Grader, it's usually related to some sort of blockage. I'd recommend checking through your robots.txt to make sure that rogerbot and dotbot aren't being blocked, that your SSL is all looking good, and that the site isn't blocking Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Moz bot has trouble crawling Angular JS - I believe it's seeing the SPA (Single Page Application) before Universal. Anyone else have this issue? What is the fix?
The Moz bot user agent detection settings are able to read Universal, but the Single Page Application (SPA) version partially loads on the website before Universal. Because of this, Moz (and possibly search engines) think we have massive duplicate content issues. For example, the crawl report said a particular product page (which has about 1,000 words) has 33,000 words and has duplicate content with over 300 other pages. This makes me believe it's only picking up the SPA version. Has anyone come across this, and what would be the fix?

How can a page have high Google/ organic traffic but show no ranking keywords in Moz?
We have a page on our website with a higher than average number of pageviews, 85% of which came from Google organic search. When I research this page by entering the URL into the "exact page" keyword research tool, Moz says it has no ranking keywords. How can a page be earning organic traffic without ranking for any keywords?

Is the Content Suggestions section under Page Optimization a TF-IDF Analysis?
If you start a campaign in Moz, go to page optimization, enter a URL and keyword, and go to the bottom where it says "Content Suggestions" is that basically do a TF-IDF analysis? I want to make sure I understand how that works. Thanks!

Moz keyword mention on-page counting errors
Hi. Moz is showing 18 mentions of the keyword 'street furniture' on this landing page https://www.broxap.com/street-furniture.html But I can only count 6 in total in the body copy and 13 if you include navigation links. This is the same on other pages too for that keyword. Does anyone know where it's counting these extra keywords from? I don't want to fall foul of keyword stuffing but as far as I can see we're not! Could Moz be miscalculating? Any help appreciated! Thanks Joe

Moz crawler only crawls one page?!
Hello there, I'm using Moz for a while and I'm very pleased with the tool and community. But for the first time I encountered a problem. We are trying to run a crawler for a client's website but only one page (only the homepage) was crawled. We tried to do a test on a more detailed level (maybe there is something wrong with the homepage). My campaign test's crawl came back for the Producten folder (level deeper than homepage), and it was also only a 1 page crawl with a 200 status. I did look at the robots.txt file now, and it is very restrictive, but there is nothing that I can clearly see that would explain why the crawl isn't working. Hopefully someone can point us at the right direction. Thanks in advance, Jeremy

MOZ On Page Grader Not Seeing Changes
Hello all, I've been doing some SEO work recently and using the really handy A-F rating on MOZ on page grader as a guide. It's worked great so far on my sites up until today. I've made some small changes to a site such as the title and MOZ isn't seeing these changes. For example if I were to put 'banana' in the title of one of my other sites and re-run the on page grader with 'banana' as a keyword, instantly MOZ would say this keyword is used in the title once. I've done the same to another site and the same thing hasn't happened. I did a test and wrote all the keywords from the title in the on page grader and it still said they appear 0 times in the title. Am I missing something here? The site is different from the others, it's flat html and not CMS, but the SEO changes I've made are still the same. Thanks!

Duplicate page titles
Hi -- A crawl tells me I have 200 duplicate page titles. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell me what those pages are duplicating. What do I do with this information? How do I begin to respond? Thanks
