Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Look at to your Search Console and see your backlinks and internal links 1 - search console > search traffic > links to your site 2 - search console > search traffic > links to your site Before to start an outreach stratege you have to make sure of accomplish all the technical seo tasks. Add Canonical Tags, internal link structure, header optimization an so on What I'm traying to say is first improve your page (onsite optimization). You have to optimize the page "New Machines " but you can not doit without optimize other ones. For me the best tool for that are semrush, moz, ahrefs and of course Search Console

I haven't found a way to export from the keywords management section, so I follow the same path as Manischa and export to Excel from the Rankings tab.

We're curious as well. This would be a feature that we would like to see.

I did - but if I wanted to cancel the subscription I did minimal effort to find out how I could cancel it. Just do this search query in Google: refund site:moz.com/community you'll get >200 results. If you're active in a community (on a voluntary basis) it is annoying to see the same question popping up because people are too lazy to search for themselves.

Your question is "What we doing wrong"? Could you be more specific? I see at least 44 pages indexed. Can you provide a few examples of URLs that you think "should" be indexed but aren't? Or is your problem not about how many pages you have indexed?

They're using different data sources and basing their assumptions on different metrics. Sometimes it can also be a matter of the location, if it's global search volume or on a national level.

I see your point: nicely done for UX because you see the different colors in small squares already on the category page. For now we don't have this option, I will see with our webmaster, it's quite interesting. Isabelle

Thank you David! This is exactly what I needed!

Hey, ** CNAME Records are used for identify multiple domain names that point to the same IP address.** A Canonical Name record (abbreviated as CNAMErecord) is a type of resource record in the Domain Name System (DNS) used to specify that a domain name is an alias for another domain, which is the "canonical" domain. For SEO point of view: Every website needs a ‘canonical’ or definitive web address of the site. Generally, this is the non-www (bare domain name without the “www” in front). Search engines view both the “www.site.com” and “site.com” as two different addresses so it's important to point the www version to the canonical name (or the non-www to the www).

Tom, Your use of Moz is unrelated to the drop in DA/PA. There have been some recent changes that Rand addresses in this thread: https://moz.com/community/q/is-everybody-seeing-da-pa-drops-after-last-moz-api-update#reply_359883 For an overall explanation of fluctuations, try this link: https://moz.com/community/q/da-pa-fluctuations-how-to-interpret-apply-understand-these-ml-based-scores Have a great day, Matt

While you may not be able to compete directly with the big dogs immediately, you aren't doing yourself any favors by sticking pages you wish to rank deeper inside your site. Even though the content may be more specifically relevant, the reality is that once you are targeting traffic on a national scale, you are probably looking at your link profile as the defining factor of success rather than your content. Content still retains power in terms of generating relevancy, but link building is what you need to compete with those long-standing enterprises. In my opinion, content location is secondary in this situation. A better way to go about this might be to run some competitive analysis on a wide range of keywords to determine: a) Where are your customers coming from? b) What are they looking for? c) Where does your competition rank? d) Why are they ranking where they do? Once you can answer these questions, you have the ability to make a strategy that will work regardless of where your content is located. Additionally, adding more pages will just make work for your web dev team without any discernible increase in your potential rankings, and will take time. Given the size of your site and the variety of products you carry, this may be an ineffective use of time when you might just be building a significant link profile to a couple of major landing pages. Whatever you decide, learning why your competition is succeeding needs to be your priority. Then you can decide on a content-driven strategy or a link building strategy.

Howdy. So, here is the thing - MOZ link crawler is very delayed. They crawl about once a month. Also, as any other crawler, there is a limitation on resources. Therefore there is high chance that simply your link profile is not up-to-date. If all other tools are saying that it's the case, then you are good. As for why your website is not ranking better than competitors - there are so many other signals than links. And the metrics are just metrics. Hope this helps.

Gotcha, ok well that's a relief. In troubleshooting the drop we are looking at a few more factors. Do any of these sound suspicious? 1. In redirecting everything, our developer was sloppy. There were slug conflicts all over the place and this resulted in hundreds of 404s and mis-directed pages (pages redirected to y instead of x), which he only corrected after we manually found the 404s. We went through 5 or 6 rounds of this. 2. We had over 100 pages without titles and he ran some script that rewrote a lot of existing titles. When we discovered this, he went back and fixed all the titles but only after Google reported 100+ duplicate titles. 3. We installed an internal link building plugin (that we've since deleted) and created business rules for cross linking. This resulted in hundreds of cross links with exact anchor text of the slug / page titles. As mentioned, we've since rolled this back but since the site only has about 50 external backlinks, wondering if the internal link building over-optimized and triggered a penalty. If this is something you think they'd ding us for, now that we've fixed the internal links, do you think Google will give us back some juice? Or is it gone daddy gone? Otherwise, our pages rank 95%-98% optimized according to Moz and we have zero technical issues at this stage.

Agree with Martijn - this is almost always caused by a link not properly including the http(s):// at the beginning.. Since it's occurring an all blog posts, it's likely a link in the navigation/sidebar/footer or other templated area of the pages. You'll need to look in the pages' source code to find it. [UPDATE] Yup, it's an incorrectly formatted link on line 100 of the page - part of your header menu. class="hs-menu-item hs-menu-depth-1 hs-item-has-children"><a <span="" class="html-attribute-name" data-mce-mark="1">href</a><a <span="" class="html-attribute-name" data-mce-mark="1">="</a>www.messinastaffing.com">Staffing Divisions You can see the href is missing the _http.

Hi there, are you a MOZ PRO member? I can see the crawl test when I click MOZ PRO in my navigation bar at the top. It is one from the bottom. Kelly

ok yeah, apparently it STILL is not possible to delete questions. Come on Moz, that needs to be a feature!

Apart from content, how old is your URL? The domain age could be impacting your rankings as well. I would also take a look at how your pages are performing. Do you have a high bounce rate? If users are coming to your website but clicking back to the SERPs, this could be telling Google that your website is not helping the user—thus hurting your rankings.

Hi Chris, Thanks for your reply. Any idea on "why" people do this? It's an obviously spammy URL that they would go to over and over. And for Robots.txt file for these spammy links, are you referring to using the "disallow" function for this file name? Thanks Chris, Michelle
