Welcome to the Q&A Forum

yes, thanks!

Hi Carol, I went through your site and did see a number of pages that had a PA of 24 but I did also see a number that were all different PAs. It sounds like much of your page has the same or similar backlinks profile so it is possible to see them have the same PA. I hope that helps. Thanks! Joel.

Hi Kyu, Unfortunately, our crawler does not report if there are issues crawling your site due to JS or Flash, as it is actually unable to parse either of those languages so it does not process any information in those languages. Google's crawler is much more sophisticated than ours, as Host1 points out, so they may be able to parse your site and index it more thoroughly than we can. Please let me know if you have any other questions. -Chiaryn

Hello JPretz, What you are experiencing is a common phenomenon in which your former organic rankings get subsumed into your new blended/local rankings. These blended/local rankings are made up of many factors, including organic ones. It used to be common for strong businesses to dominate page 1 of the SERPs. They might have several organic rankings, a local ranking, citations from 3rd parties, video sources and etc., all on one page. Around the time of the Venice update in March (see: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/understand-and-rock-the-google-venice-update), I and many other Local SEOs noticed this had changed. For the most part, if a company had a local listing, they no longer had an organic one and vice versa. There has been some fluctuation in this display, but I still find this to be the way of things for most businesses, even in tiny niche verticals in rural locations. That being said, a couple of the Local SEOs I know have managed in the past to secure a double ranking since Venice. Linda Buquet of CatalysteMarketing is one who comes instantly to mind, as she published a post about getting a double ranking for a dentist: http://localsearchforum.catalystemarketing.com/local-search-general-discussions/719-lqqk-incredible-shrinking-local-serps-traffic-drops.html And here's a similar piece from Adam Steele: http://www.nightlitemedia.com/2012/05/organic-and-google-places-ranking-on-page-1/ Basically, the concept of double rankings revolves around the optimization of a secondary page. I've never engaged in this, and I believe Linda actually recently saw the double-ranked dentist results changes. She and I work together in her Local Search Forum, and I believe she mentioned this to me, so this may all have changed again. I know she was offering training on this in her Advanced Places Training course, but am not sure of the status of this tactic/training at this point. You might like to get in touch with her. At any rate, what you are experiencing is common and there is even discussion going on in the local sphere as to whether local inclusion causes traffic drops (making it preferable to remain organic). The thing is, this stuff changes almost daily, so the best we can typically due is keep up with the news and changes. Hope the articles I've linked to will be helpful.

On the Overview page in the Crawl Diagnostics box, click on Duplicate Page Title on the Y axis. It will send you to a page that lists the duplicate page titles.

Do you have the www in your campaign? We're looking for exact URL, so if you're ranking on www and you don't have www in your campaign that would be a reason why. If that doesn't answer the question, send a note to help@seomoz.org and we'll take a look at it for you.

Hi There, Thanks for writing in. You may be seeing this discrepancy because we only provide the option to check Google Belgium (which defaults to Dutch) in Rank Tracker, rather than breaking Google Belgium into language specific engines, as we do in the campaign. It seems that, in the campaign, you are are tracking the campaign under Google Belgium-French, which may mean that the system is pulling rankings from different datacenters and the results can be different between the two languages. It's also important to note that Rank Tracker is an older tool that works off of a completely different system than the campaign rankings, but we are working to align it with our campaign rankings collection and include more of the search engine options that you have with the full campaign. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions. -Chiaryn

You are welcome, i hope that you resolve the problem early. Ciao Maurizio

I use Majestic in combination with OSE. The former is great for raw counts and fast discovery, the latter gives me generally more reliable data (in terms of links that still exist, come from relatively stable sources, etc) and better metrics/filters. I thought Eric Enge's comparison was quite good: http://www.stonetemple.com/majestic-seo-open-site-explorer-shootout/

Hi, and welcome to SEOmoz! I'd suggest reading our Beginner's Guide to SEO, especially the chapter on Link Building. SEOmoz is focused on tools to help make your own website better, and to help educate webmasters. We're less focused on tools to strictly build links, though you will find many blog posts on our site in the link building category that discuss how to build links. Regarding crawling on a daily basis, do you mean the crawl of your site? If so, you can do a crawl test of two sites a day, up to 3000 URLs each, at http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test. If you mean Open Site Explorer, we don't have the processing power to update that every day.

I don't know the reason myself, but will ask when I'm back in the office on Monday. You know that you can filter out for just followed links, right?

Hi Tony, I need more information from you in order to check this out. I'm going to send you a support ticket to reply to. Thanks, Joel.

You all get similar links? It's a good strategy to find links that competitors have and try to get the same ones because.. you know they work since your competitor is ranking (strong links) they are linking to sites very similar to yours so you would be a good fit (high relevance)

Thanks, I agree it can be good for the user, in our case it shows the high calibre of clients we work with, which in turn makes us look good and is completely relevant. We're a service company, so we don't write blogs at this point. But just having a page explaining projects we've worked on with links to the clients it what works I think. I will search for you post!

Did you know we have a feature request forum at https://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests where you could submit that idea? Do keep in mind that we don't have access to Google's algorithm either, so it would be our idea of how it is influenced, not what Google thinks about it.

Hi Martin, Thanks for writing in and sorry for any confusion. I took a look at your campaigns and I do see that your On-Page reports seems to be working, so I'm afraid I'll need more information to look into the issue. Can you please let me know the keyword and URL combination that you are having issues with? If you would like to keep your campaign information confidential, please let me know and I will create a ticket in our email support system for you. I look forward to hearing back soon. -Chiaryn
