Welcome to the Q&A Forum

You can try SEMrush to get possible competitors keywords, although I hear you shouldn't trust the data 100% but it could give you some ideas. You can also run the domain through Google AdWords tool and see what words it suggests. -Dan PS - Look at their meta keywords tag. The tag does nothing, but most people don't realize that and put their keywords in there anyway.

As I suspected everyone has a different favourite.... Going to need more people to weigh in with opinions before we start to see a pattern.

Hi Mike. I've sent you a couple of personal messages. Give me a shout back when you can.

This issue isn't OSE problem, it sounds like its your competitors problem. You should be using it to see what your competitor is doing, then figure out a way on your own to do better than them - Which from the sounds of it shouldn't be too hard.

Please have your client contact our Help Team help@seomoz.org, and we can see what we can do.

Hi Lara, You can still find your old questions at http://www.seomoz.org/qa/my.  Watch the blog tomorrow for some important info about the old QA section.  Let me know if you have any further questions. Casey

Hey Francisco! You are correct we have both. The affiliate program is designed for non-PRO members, and opens us up to working with networks of sites that are closely related to ours. The payout is $25 per lead. The referral program is really meant for existing PRO members, and helps us reward our PRO members for recommending us to clients, friends, etc. The payout is $100 credit to your account. The idea here is that we believe both PRO members and non-PRO members can have friends, visitors, etc. that might be interested in PRO. We wanted there to be options for sending qualified leads our way. We believe in rewarding anyone who mentions us, hence both options. hope that helps clear it up! Joanna

Unfortunately, at this time it's not possible to automatically create these types of reports. The biggest hurdle is that there are no metric models that measure at the subfolder level. It's sorta an apple to oranges type comparison. Current Moz link metrics cover: Page/URL Metrics Subdomain Root Domain ... but not subfolder. However, you could use Open Site Explorer to compare metrics against two homepages, at the Page Level. Just hit "Compare Page" under the text input on the homepage, and enter the URL of the subfolder or homepage you want to measure. The Page level link metrics will give you a pretty good idea of comparative homepage strength.

A quick side-question, I have an about me page:  http://about.me/ioansaid Looks nice enough and all that and I guess it's quite friendly and less commercial looking of a link than my company link which is what I have in my twitter profile. Twitter has much higher authority and all that than About.me as you pointed it out so I thought that having my http://celynnenphotography.co.uk link there would be more beneficial than my about.me page. But perhaps the About.me would generate more clicks? I don't know.. Purely for SEO purposes, am I right in leaving my company's link there or perhaps should I put my About me and hope for more clicks?

Many thanks!  I missed that post...

Hmm... If your stats haven't ever updated, that's very odd. We have a Linkscape update calendar as Casey pointed out here: http://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/345964-linkscape-update-schedule and those are pretty substantial (tens of billions of pages, hundreds of millions of domains and links). You can see the last few blog posts on the index updates, too: January: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/interim-linkscape-update-for-january End of November: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/2nd-november-index-update-our-broadest-index-yet-and-new-pada-scores-are-live Beginning of November: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/november-linkscape-update-is-live October: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/november-2011-linkscape-update And on and on. Following this category: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/category/38 will provide links to the rest. In terms of link timing - if an important link is created on, let's say January 1st, our crawler will probably find it in a 2-3 week crawl period. After that, it goes into processing for 12-20 days and an index is produced. Within these overlapping periods, you could imagine that in a worst case scenario, a link may not show up in a new index for up to 50 days (at the max) and as little as 14 days (in the best case). We have another index planned in about 10-12 days (as I noted in the January interim blog post), so you'll likely see it there. If you don't feel free to write to help@seomoz.org with details and we'll see what the issue might be. Cheers!

Hi Sha, I really appreciate your in depth explanation. I wiil try to email the help staff and see if they can help me understand why this notice continues to show up as a redirect. I am so OCD when it comes to my websites. Cannot tolerate anything short of perfection. Lol Thanks for your help, Jeff Bratcher

I'm a little late to the party, but I want to summarize what I see as the answer. 1. The "Search Engine Blocked by Robots.txt" is only a warning, and not an error. If you intend for these pages not to get crawled (and it does seem like you have a good reason for this), then there is nothing to worry about. 2. The reason the warning appears for MSNbot and not Google is that currently, your robots.txt allows Google to crawl those files. As Daniel pointed out, you would need to add the identical directives to your robots.txt file to make this happen. Does that make sense? Or you could just add all of these files under the * directive to apply to all robots.

Thank you Miranda!
