Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Have you checked out our Help Hub page about rankings at http://www.seomoz.org/help/rankings? It offers several reasons why what you see and what we report may be different. Hope that helps!

Hi Sam, If it was Penguin that hit you, I would focus on these items, as Penguin was primarily backlink related: You appear to have a link exchange directory for doing link exchanges: http://www.dfwgolfcourseguide.com/links.html Suggest removing the links directory and don't do link exchanges (it's OK to do a few with a couple high quality, relevant sites). You may be using too many keyword anchor texts. A natural link profile typically has more brand and url anchor texts than keyword. See http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/anchors?site=www.dfwgolfcourseguide.com and https://www.majesticseo.com/reports/site-explorer/anchor-text?folder=&q=dfwgolfcourseguide.com&oq=dfwgolfcourseguide.com and http://www.searchenginejournal.com/anchor-text-optimization-case-study-whats-natural/43404/ and http://www.searchenginejournal.com/post-penguin-seo-link-building-the-naked-url-truth/46936/ Your links appear to be mainly from blog comments, directories, and link pages, which tend to be low quality links. Hope that helps! ~Adam

Definitely the wrong place to be trying to talk to the api guys. email api@seomoz.org However it sounds like you are querying too quickly. As it turns out I was having a chat this week with a friend who was having a similar problem. You can only make 1 call per 10 secs (you can halve that time if you are a pro member and email them and ask). If you make a call every 8 seconds, you get 8 values back instead of 10 etc. so make sure you are giving enough time Stephen

Hi Jason, This is Megan from the SEOmoz Help Team.  Unfortunately, since we crawl from the cloud, RogerBot's IP address is changing all of the time so we cannot specify a particular IP address.  Also, we do need the site to be live before we can crawl it, but you could remove the firewall and block all other bots except rogerbot so it won't get indexed anywhere else before it's ready. I hope this helps!  Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Sara, Right now, there is no way to track beyond the top 50 results. In our help hub page for rankings at http://www.seomoz.org/help/rankings, we mention "Ranking results beyond the top 50 tend to fluctuate to such a large degree that they make any actionable insight almost useless. Also, traffic gained beyond the first couple pages of search results is usually negligible." Hope this helps!

I'm still trying to get access to GWT for this client, so will definitely check that out. Good call and thanks!!

Hopefully we can find out what is going on.  Not sure how my strongest links are not showing up. Alexa has me with 24 links.

That's a question best answered by a programmer and/or someone who is familiar with the code of your site. Sorry I can't help more!

We usually don't delete questions, but leave them here so other people can learn. And no worries about gaming the hug system.

I'm not sure, but I think you are talking about SEOMoz tool for analyzing competitors. When I added  www.website.com/blog  it showed  up www.website.comblog  I guess this is your problem It's only possible to add the root domain of competitor.

Hi Rob, Just to clarify, SEOmoz flags your content as duplicate if finds 95% HTML similarity. You can use an online tool to compare pages yourself. I like this one: [http://www.webconfs.com/similar-page-checker.php](Just to clarify, SEOmoz flags your content as duplicate if finds 95% HTML similarity. You can use an online tool to compare pages yourself. I like this one: http://www.webconfs.com/similar-page-checker.php Google obviously uses a more sophisticated method than Moz, but it's still a good warning because pages without much unique content - even if they aren't true duplicates - often have a difficult time ranking for their targeted keywords.) Google obviously uses a more sophisticated method than Moz, but it's still a good warning because pages without much unique content - even if they aren't true duplicates - often have a difficult time ranking for their targeted keywords. Rob, for your specific examples, the content isn't an exact duplicate, but it's what we would call a "near-duplicate". These are pages that are very close to one another in theme and content. Having too many of these can actually hurt your site's ability to rank in a strong way. Dr. Pete goes into this in quite a bit of detail in this epic Duplicate Content post. The problem on these pages is that the duplicate content is all above the fold - the primary spot Google cares about. You might consider: Moving your unique individual products to the top, and moving the repeating "boiler plate" intro below the fold Better yet, writing unique intros to each page. My guess is this would give you the most ranking boost for your buck. So it's hard to say if this duplication is hurting you in a big way, but it might be - and it might be worth taking a look to make these pages more unique. Hope this helps! Best of luck with your SEO.

Hi Callie, Thanks for the question. It sounds like you're wondering why we don't show MozRank in the inbound links section. If that's not correct, please let me know. As for why it's not there, we chose to show the Page and Domain Authorities to give you a brief snapshot of the pages that are linking to you. If you need to view MozRank for links you'll want to click the icon for "Compare" and that will show you the specific metrics for the page that links to you. Here's a screenshot of where to find that button: http://www.screencast.com/t/rGz9HUuabRe I hope that helps clear that up. Cheers, Joel.

Hey Per, Good question. The On-Page report actually utilizes Broad Keyword Use in it's grading. For situations just like you mentioned. Not every keyword is utilizing proper grammar so we've padded it out a bit to allow for extenuating circumstances. Google will do similar with their rankings unless someone uses quotes to ask for an exact match (weird, but it happens). I hope that helps. Cheers, Joel.

Hi Fernando, I don't believe SEOmoz has any feature that requires you to submit a sitemap. It is not a search engine, and SEOmoz's Roger bot just crawls your site and pulls all the needed information(no tracking cookie, how awesome!). Once you submitted your domain, full crawls just takes a few days and you will have all the data you need.

Hi, I have seen both your pages your website have perfect onpage and does not have technical issues. You need to increase links to your website for that promote your page with keyword variation, do guest blogging and improve social media profile that will also help you to increasing PA.  For reading more about increasing page authority read this link it is really good. http://www.seomoz.org/q/page-authority-3

It's usually automatic. So you might've have a plugin like SEO all in one or Yoast that added the canonical URL. I'm guessing thats the reason.
