I have a client with a wordpress.com site.
-
Is it possible to manage a campaign for such a site on Moz? It looks like in order to be able to add an independent Google Analytics tracking id, he has to upgrade to a business account. Does anybody have any experience with this?
-
Thanks Chiaryn! I've set it up, and will follow up with my client on the other stuff.

The traffic section is an integration that you can add to your campaign, but it is not necessary for the majority of the reports we run. Pretty much all of our reports are generated with proprietary data collected by our own crawlers and do not rely on the integration to be set up. Having a GA account connected to your campaign can certainly add color and insight to these other reports, but it is not required for our tools to run on the site.

I'm sorry, as follow up - I'm confused - from the screenshot that I attached, I was under the impression that Google Analytics was important to show traffic data? Am I missing something?
-
Thanks Chiaryn. I'd prefer to move this client off of Wordpress.com, but that's a discussion for him, not here :). Good to know - I'll get the campaign started today.

Hey Cindy, you can definitely track Wordpress sites with our tools.
You don't need to add any type of tracking code for our tools, so you can just enter the homepage URL in the campaign creation and get started from there. All of our reports are generated by accessing the site directly and crawling through the links to pages we find there.
I'm afraid I don't have any advice on the Google Analytics issue, though, since I haven't managed a Wordpress site myself. So I will leave that open to our community members to answer.
Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Can Moz Monitor a JS Site?
We are building a new site that, on the blog landing page, uses JS to populate the individual blog article links on the page. The links are not viewable in the page source, but do appear once the page fully renders. After running an on-demand crawl of the site (in QA...not indexed yet), it appears that Moz isn't indexing these pages, and it also isn't reading other page elements that load later (like an H1 that is rendered in JS but not in page source). Are we going to be able to use Moz to track this site? Is there some setting to help?

Open site explorer
Excuse my ignorance but I am very new to all this. I have a new site www.sassandgrace.co.uk and am using MOZ to try and get it right first time. On OSE I am seeing different results for http://www.sassandgrace.co.uk/ and http://www.sassandgrace.co.uk i.e with an without / ) and different results again for http://sassandgrace.co.uk These differences relate to the social page metrics but I would be keen to get one consistent reading. What do I need to do? Also, I know that I have links to the site but none are showing at all. On google console there are a couple showing but I know that there are many more. Is it just a matter of time before they are 'found' or is there something that I should be doing? Sorry for what are probably very basic questions but any help is appreciated.
