Spam Score and crawling of my site
-
Hello, I'm trying to analyze the spam score of my site which is 9/17
Actually I have few backlinks and all of them have a low spam score (max 4/17, just one).
I think there's some kind of issue with the crawler since I get strange spam factors:
-
Large Site with Few Links (likely true, I recently deleted a lot of tags used once)
-
Low Number of Pages Found (wasn't it a "Large Site"??)
-
Low Number of Internal Links (I got a considerable number)
-
No Contact Info (I have a link to my facebook in the menu and a "contacts" page)
-
Thin Content (It's just a blog with min 300 words per post, why thin?)
-
Site Link Diversity is Low (likely true)
-
Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Subdomains (likely true)
-
Low MozTrust or MozRank Score (true)
-
Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Domains (likely true)
Can you please help me to understand it, is it a crawling problem or similar? If needed I will post the url of the website.
Thank you so much
Marco

WP Events Calendar Creates URLs Too Long in Site Crawler
My travel/tourism site is on WP and using an Events plugin that ads a calendar of events to many pages. The MOZ crawler is indexing almost 46K links with a URL too long, but the site only has about 3.8K pages indexed in Google. I can tell MOZ is indexing the same pages over and over again but just adding a random calendar month and year. Here are some examples. https://www.visitcurrituck.com/four-day-stay/?full=1&long_events=1&country[0]=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=10&yr=2003 https://www.visitcurrituck.com/four-day-stay/?full=1&long_events=1&country%5B0%5D=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=10&yr=2034 https://www.visitcurrituck.com/beach-houses-family-time/?full=1&long_events=1&country%5B0%5D=US&ajaxCalendar=1&mo=1&yr=1873 Any advice on how to prevent MOZ from indexing this way? I don't believe that Google is seeing this also, but maybe they are. I just know my site has over 63K issues and I'm sure at least 75% or more is because of the way they are picking up on the events calendar. Thanks!

Open Site Explorer
I have entered my site (patioenjoyment.com) a few different times into the OSE and it never seems to find it, MOZ has found it because it has done the crawl test for me a few times, found some issues and I have been working on those. But I assume that if it is able crawl my site it should find it to run the OSE. It has come back with "**It looks like we haven't discovered established link data for this URL yet." everytime. ** Thanks, Julie

Moz crawling bot
Hi guys, in OpenSiteExplorer -> Top Pages, there are no page titles displayed in a raport for certain domain, and "HTTP Status" column shows: "Blocked by robots.txt". I tried to find out what the ID of Moz crawling bot is, and on this page: http://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/community/q/seomoz-spider-bot-details someone says it's: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; rogerBot/1.0; http://www.seomoz.org/dp/rogerbot). However, my robots.txt doesn't have such entry. Take a look: Automatically banned scanners and crawlers section User-agent: 008 Disallow: / user-agent: AhrefsBot Disallow: / User-agent: MJ12bot Disallow: / User-agent: metajobbot Disallow: / User-agent: Exabot Disallow: / User-agent: Ezooms Disallow: / User-agent: fyberspider Disallow: / User-agent: dotbot Disallow: / User-agent: MojeekBot Disallow: / Section end What could be the problem here, then? Why does the Moz bot think I'm blocking it?
