Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Donna...I'm very tardy with my reply but wanted to thank you for your help.  I'm glad I'm not missing any glaring actions for local SEO. Thanks for the links...very helpful. If someone comes out with a good local SEO tool they'll make a killing.

Hi Pooja, Open Site Explorer focuses on showing you the highest quality links going to your site and so we don't necessarily show all links. Just so you know, here's how we compile our index: We grab the most recent index. We take the top 10 billion URLs with the highest MozRank (with a fixed limit on some of the larger domains). We start crawling from the top down until we've crawled 90,000,000,000 pages (which is about 35% the amount in Google's index). Hope that helps!

Hi, I'm also dealing with duplicate content and searching for a proper solution. have you tried to use a canonical url for this issue? If only the url is different /releases/ v.s. /releases/index a canonical can help. Put this in the head here is more about duplicate content: http://moz.com/learn/seo/duplicate-content

Thank you! I'll test it out!

Hey Charl, Thanks for reaching out. I'm afraid we don't currently have a plan to break out the links from the external C-blocks by C-block or IP. We base our product changes on the number of customer requests made for a feature and I'm afraid that this feature has only been requested once, so it hasn't been our focus to make this update to the data. Again, I would recommend submitting a feature request for us to keep this data in the future and make it sortable by C-block. Here's the feature request forum we use to collect ideas: http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests That forum goes directly to our Product team and they use the requests made there to inform our product changes going forward. It also allows other users to vote for the feature, as well, which is how we prioritize product updates. I hope this helps! Chiaryn Help Team Sensei

Just for the sake of documenting it, our DA dropped 5 points too, our main competitor dropped just by 2 points. We have 1.4k backlinks, they do have 140k backlinks.

Tnx & yes: i'll keep it between my business partner and myself!

Yep, given your resource constraints, I'd focus on translations for now. If you ever get to a point that there is something bigger than price differentiating your content, then you can think about geo-targeting. You will need the resources to differentiate the content though. Right now, my recommendation is to drop the country specific content and just offer English for now. Your content can rank for any English speaking search, regardless of country. However, if the terms people use in the US, UK and Canada differ that much, you can "translate" the content (en-us, en-gb, en-au) and use the HREFLANG tag. For price changes, that's tricker, but do you offer the price in search results via schema? Does it show up? If not, then you can use cookies to set the prices dependent on the country the person chooses (try not to use IP address, and if you do, make people confirm the setting). For now, focus your time and efforts getting the flow right for the user. Only worry about HREFLANG if your English content needs to be differentiated for term usage. Then focus your efforts on getting those upcoming translations right. When that is ready, then really use HREFLANG. Hope that helps!

Hi Thom, I don't know anything about "endpoints", but you maybe don't need a Yahoo store specialist, but just a regular SEO who can help you diagnose some of your problems. Moz has recommended companies you could reach out to ask if any offer hourly consulting. If they don't, try going thru the Q&A searching for any questions related to ecommerce and see who pipes in with helpful advice. (There is no ecommerce category in the Moz Q&A. I checked.) You could try approaching them. I say that b/c I did a scan of your site and saw some duplicate pages, for example, http://www.atlasphones.com/reli.html, http://www.atlasphones.com/reli1.html and http://www.atlasphones.com/reli2.html, two of which look like they might be errors or oversights. It could just be that you need someone to help guide you through the process of discovering root causes and potential fixes. I worked with Yahoo store a few years ago, it has its querks, but is much like any other online store so if you can translate Yahoo terminology working with a SEO you might be able to make some great headway. A second thought is whether you might be able to tag your "endpoints" or "items" as canonical and see whether that deals with the problem. It's a start anyway. Good luck!

I realize this is a very old post, but we have found the same issue. We added this to our robots file: Disallow: /customer/account/login/referer/ When the next crawl runs, will these be removed from the 'Crawl Diagnostics' report automatically?

Mhhh, to google these three domains are totally different entities, so if you have the same content on each page for sure it would be counted as duplicate content. But I can see you do have a 301 redirect to the canonical www, so you should not face that problem. But you are talking about duplicate title only... In the report, when you see a duplicate title, it should also tell you (in a different column) which other pages are sharing the same title, what is it listing? I would check the redirect for those specific pages.

We've also seen some drops across our website and our competitors domain authorities. Glad its not just our market.

DA can fluctuate with OSE updates depending on the size of the index. If the size goes down, DA may go down. If it goes up, DA may go up.

Nothing will positively effect this issue more than updating the content and giving the searchers solid, informative, unique content to read. One way to do that might be to aggregate some reviews for these individual shows, give a short, unique bio of the performers, or rate the venues. 500-800 words of unique content will go a long way in this case. Something else to work on would be the amount of internal links back and forth. When links are all robot sees, that becomes your duplicate content issue too. You can't do too much about that in this case. Most of the links come from the nav bars, so, the way to counter it would be again, adding great content.

It looks like there's something going on oddly with your redirects. I'd be double checking that those redirects are indeed 301s so they're picking up the current meta description (along with the rest of the info!). While on the user end, it looks great, the bots are getting different signals. I also noticed that I was able to get this page: http://www.efurniturehouse.com/full-over-full-bunk-beds/ Which your current page is at http://www.efurniturehouse.com/full-over-full-bunk-beds-1/

Hello, I just checked and the 301 redirects appear to be implemented properly. I would not worry about the difference in PA/DA between the www. and non-www. version - this is simply a metric tied to the number and quality of links going into the www. version vs. the non-www. version. With time, the non-www. version will accumulate more links and more authoritative links that will ultimately power the rankings. As you build and naturally produce more links to the non-www. version this version of the page will become more and more authoritative. It should quickly become more authoritative in all metrics than the www. version. Even in the short-term, I would not stress over the very small amount of link equity that is lost in the one 301 redirect between the www. version and the non-www. version. This is a VERY minor/small SEO impact (if one at all).

Where I compete, the short tail is becoming enormously competitive.  Almost all of my revenue comes in from extensive long tail content. Extensive.  More than all of my retail competitors and manufacturers combined. Most of my traffic comes in from long tail queries that are informational rather than transactional.  So, although it looks like my conversion rate is bad, the number of conversions is higher because a few of the informational content visitor will purchase.

Hi, I sent you a PM last week. Did you receive it?

It actually wasn't that bad.  There was no need to edit out any of the categories or add comma when you pasted in.  However, all the category information was lost.  Still want the "copy to another campaign" button.

Hi Chris, I'm looking at expired domains, narrowing them down to only those with good quality link profiles, those with .edu, .gov links, genuine .org links and links coming in from otherwise quality sites. Because it is only the domain, and there are no pages to actually to go and look at, I am wondering if in this situation it matters whether the PA is higher than the DA. Based on what you said, my guess is it just means that when the site was operating there was an internal page that had higher Authority than the home page, which is fine, but as long as the link profile overall looks good, the higher PA than DA doesn't really matter. Would you go along with that? That's a good idea to see, on the OSE report, whether there are a lot of links going to one page in particular. I will doing that from here on.
