Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Peter, If pages suspect of duplicate content all register a 200, does that mean they are true duplicates? I am having a situation where all of our links with parameters are being reported as duplicate; however, we have canonical tags in place and have Google set to ignore parameters. However, when I run the site through Screaming Frog, all pages register 200s.

Take a look at the Moz Help Page Why Isn’t My Site Being Crawled? You're Not Crawling All My Pages! It lists the most common reasons for your issue.

Maybe try SEozio. SEOzio uses data collected from Google, other free SEO analysis tools, and information from the site to put together a comprehensive report with an overall score. Users can look at individual areas affecting rankings including Link Analysis, Branding, Crawlability, and Site Code. These categories show how each factor contributes to their overall score. You can log in and use the tool as much as you want to discover if your recent SEO tactics are improving the site rankings at all. Its especially useful to look at your site vs. a competitor’s site, to see why they’re ahead of you, whether it’s more backlinks, social, or web code optimized for crawlability.

Hi Rick, Sorry you are having issues with the toolbar. Let me know if the suggestions made by other users have helped. You may also want to try re-installing if you were not successful. Let me know if you are continuing to experience issues! Talk to you soon.

Conner, From Moz's documentation on the Keyword analysis tool, it analyzes the distribution of page authority and domain authority of the top 20 results in Google for your query so it's not just looking at the first page results but basing it's score on the results on the first two pages. The keyword difficulty score is by no means perfect and int this particular search it may be starkly obvious which factors are more dominant in composing it.  I would see that as an opportunity to better understand what is required by your site to rank more highly for your query. What scores are possible? We break up keyword difficulty levels into a number of ranges: 76%-100% - Extremely Competitive: These are among the most challenging keywords to rank for. On-page optimization, massive link strength, and high domain authority are necessary to achieve top ranking positions. 51%-75% - Highly Competitive: Powerful sites with strong pages tend to dominate these results. Links in quantity and quality (at both the domain and page level) are required to earn top rankings. 26-50% - Moderately Competitive: Search results in this category require high authority domains with well-targeted pages OR lower authority sites with powerful individual pages to achieve top results. 0-25% - Non-Competitive: Keywords in this range tend to have less powerful sites/pages in the top results. Rankings are achievable by pages on low authority domains with good on-page optimization and light link metrics

Thank you for your answer people. It looks like index,nofollow would be indeed better. By looking more on the net, I also found a yoast article about this issue: http://yoast.com/wordpress-threaded-comments-and-seo/ "WordPress automatically adds a noindex, nofollow robots meta tag to each URL that has ?replytocom in it." This is why all my comments URL look like http://www.example.com/example-post/?replytocom=1 Yoast plugin update offers an option to remove ?replytocom variable. I think that I will have to drop All in one SEO on this website...

Thank you all - I had attempted to default the canonical reference to http - however, a setting within Yoasts SEO plugin was forcing all canonical references to https and the logic evaded me. I've changed the setting and it reports fine on the On Page Grader now.

Hi Peter, Thanks for getting back to me. I will visit http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests Carla

Thanks! It's been a great help.

Hi everyone, Local and global volume data still don't  seem available for me... Is this still due to the situation described here? Does this mean that for each keyword one would have to enter it in the Google adwords keyword tool? Thanks for your much needed help on this matter Greetings, Fries

Glad to try and help best of luck

Yes, you can track/view this inside your campaigns. If you go to one of your campaigns and click on "Link Anaysis" - then click on "History" the first report at the top will show your Domain Authority trend versus your competitors over time. I've attached a screenshot in hopes that helps. You then have the option of exporting the historical trend data into Excel, where you can then get really fancy with it if you want to. ng0lXvE.jpg

Great, thanks. With those 2 recommendations I have more than enough for the next crawler. Thank you both!

Thanks David!

The keyword analysis tool! https://moz.com/researchtools/keyword-analysis This tool uses Bing monthly organic data.  The benefit of using this data is that it is not an estimate of organic search volume, it's real and accurate search volume, and it gives you the data for the last month of searching - so you can get an idea of how relevant the keyword is right now. The disadvantage of course is that Bing has a much smaller market share than Google and thus its data set may not be indicative of real searcher behaviour.  That's why I like to combine the Bing keyword volume with the data you can get from the Google Adwords Keyword tool. If you get the average volume from the two sources, you're well on your way to conducting some good keyword research.  Try and also combine keyword phrase mentions in Fresh Web Explorer and social mentions on Topsy for the last 30 days. Hope this helps.

Hi Brendan, You're on the right track with labels. I would definitely use those to flag your most important keywords. What you will have to do then is export your report into Excel, format it as a table with headers, and then sort by label. This will allow you to create a report on just those specific terms. However, I understand the desire to make it pretty for a C-suite executive. I highly recommend building a ranking index (people who read my posts are probably really tired of me recommending these two awesome people to help you do that). Read a tutorial on how to build the ranking index written by AJ Kohn. Make your ranking index beautiful by watching Annie Cushing's presentation from MozCon 2012. I am an Excel moron and I rocked this out of the park thanks to them Hope that helps a little -

Thanks, Peter. I just added my vote to the suggestion, which was already in there.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. It is probably a bug that is not accepting special characters. Google does recognize C++ and C# as separate and thus, you should be fine with these titles.

yaah I do the same i have added suffix and prefix for the title of the page and it takes the name of the product in the title. Thnaks Gagan to respond

Hi Jet, This is something that might take awhile for us to resolve. For toolbar only purposes you can use it in Firefox which works great. I'm very sorry for any inconvenience and wish I could give you an ETA. Hope you have a great weekend!
