Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Eight!? That sucks Try my crawl file: https://d.pr/f/KTsX5i.seospider (crawl file, hosted on my Droplr) When you load an SF crawl file directly, it remembers all the settings it was run with (handy huh?) So just make copies of my file and re-run it from there. Problem solved. No need for any questions

You should be able to force https under your Settings (gear in upper right) > Domains & URLs (left side navigation)> Primary Domains (under "Domains" tab) > Edit (button on right side) > [  ] Require HTTPS (make sure this box is checked.

Big question here is, are any other tools giving 5XX errors on those PDF URLs (ending in .pdf) or just Moz on its own? Moz is known to have issues crawling URLs which contain certain characters, which other crawlers may not have a problem with - so you need a second opinion here Install this on Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/redirect-path/aomidfkchockcldhbkggjokdkkebmdll?hl=en (mainly for tracking redirects, but also tells you status info in a handy way from a pop-out button) Visit one of the URLs directly which Moz is saying gives a 5XX. Does it on Chrome? Note: sometimes a page will look like it has rendered properly, but for some reason the server will still send an invisible 5XX response - this Chrome plugin would pick that up!) Also check the URL with this second plugin: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/seo-indexability-check/olojclckfadnlhnlmlekdihebmjpjnoa?hl=en-GB If both those plugins agree the page loads fine on a 200, then Moz has an error. If they both agree that the page is a 5XX even though it looks legit, then you have a server response error If you get mixed results we have a mystery to look deeper into...

I like to use Keyword Explorer for YouTube research the same as I would for SERP  keyword research.  The difference is I look at the keywords differently.  I try to think of the "user intent" and how it would differ from a web search vs a video search per se. As an example, let's take the keyword "NBA sneakers".  (I know nothing about sneakers but it's the first thing that came to mind) User intent for organic search might default to "buy nba sneakers" as the dominate interpretation.  For the most part when people do a Google search for "nba sneakers" they will probably be looking to purchase sneakers and the results will generally be "stores" in the top results. When someone is on YouTube, the default might be to compare or get more information about the different popular sneakers that are out right now.  Generally it's people looking for a visual vs actually purchasing. (not that they won't want to purchase soon) Keyword Explorer will help you find questions and keywords around the topic you are researching, you'll need to decide what the intent of those keywords are based on user intent. You can read more about user intent here --> https://moz.com/blog/a-guide-to-setting-up-your-very-own-search-intent-projects and here is some information about building an intent-based keyword list here --> https://moz.com/blog/the-basics-of-building-an-intent-based-keyword-list https://moz.com/blog/the-basics-of-building-an-intent-based-keyword-list

Hi there, Sam from Moz's Help Team here! Could you pop a message over to help@moz.com about this so we can ensure everything is running smoothly for you? Thank you!

Thanks for confirming Meghan Have a great weekend ! All Best Dan

Hi there! Thank you so much for the great question and sorry for the confusion here! Moz's Spam Score is not calculated based on the Spam Scores of your inbound links but rather, it is the percentage of sites we have found to have been penalized or banned by Google which have similar on-site features. If you're looking to improve your Spam Score on Moz, I would recommend checking out the 27 common features we identified through our machine learning model which make up this score. Working to improve those features on your site will help to improve your Spam Score. I also have a guide here from our Help Hub which talks more about Spam Score, the common features, and how to use this metric. https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score I hope this helps! If you have follow up questions, you can always email us at help@moz.com.

As far as I know when something makes new update they change lots of things. That's not only you but many other people facing this same problem. But creating good content, fix on page and internal linking for a good result.

As long as the subdomain is on a good host, has good UX/content and links well w/the parent. It also requires more maintenance than the parent. But if you can maintain everything then it's ok.

Can anyone tell that if my difficulty 19 against my keyword then how many backlinks required to achieve #1 rank?

Question: if you start redirecting the longer URLs for the shorter, don't you get actually do get dinged for - ecessive 301s or daisy-chain 301s. How do you handle this for large sites with products? Canonicals?

This all depends on what your business wants to sell, to whom & where. As for keyword research, I'd recommend using: Keywords Everywhere SEM Rush Google KW planner/ Moz Ahrefs AnswerThePublic

Hi BJake, Moz & Google use different ranking factors, similar but different as they both have their own crawl spiders. If you're tracking the site on Mox base your figures on that campaign, & any of Mozs tools that you have. Other than that, have you looked at you Google Search Console reports?

Hi saharali15, What is the single most challenging problem with this site you are trying to solve? Please be as specific as possible and provide us details and screenshots about what you have and have not tried so that we can try to help you. Thanks! Christy

Anybody else have ideas or suggestions about this question? Happy New Year! Greg

I completely disregard those numbers.  Completely. On an informative site, I would use every genuine text connection in Article A as an opportunity to link it to other articles on the website.  If you look at wikipedia articles, you will see an example of what I am talking about.  We make those hyperlinks bold on our site becaused we believe that bolding increases the number of times visitors will use those links (and generates more pageviews that are monetized by ads). On a retail site with related content articles we have two approaches. 1)  On the article pages that explain the use, maintenance, selection, etc. of retail products, we use bold hyperlinks to direct the visitor to: A) pages where mentioned items are sold (this is done to help visitors easily connect to a sales page while information about the article is immediate in their mind); and, 2) pages where informative articles about that same product are located.  This is very similar to the linkage on informative article sites. On pages where products are sold we cut back on linking, and focus on linking only to pages were accessories are sold; and pages where important information about the item being sold is explained.  This decreased linkage is to help the visitor maintain their purchase intent, yet give them easy access to accessory purchases and the most important product information.
