Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi David, If you're confident enough that there is no duplicate related issues on your website, I wouldn't worry about implementing the canonical tag. You can use the tag on an individual page basis, should you feel that you need to tell Google which is the original page.

Hi Anders - totally not your fault; it's ours. We have volume data that's US-centric currently, and don't have data for Norway (or other countries) yet. We're working first on UK, Canada, and Australia, and then will try to get other countries' search volume data, too. Apologies for that - in the meantime, my suggestion is to use AdWords KW Planner data for volume and select the specific country.

Hi Kristina, some more detail to hopefully help answer this query. URL: https://www.boardshop.co.uk/surfboards/soft-deck Keyword: foam surfboard Moz on page grader counts 8 appearances I count 29 in the source code Text: 6 Element Titles: 12 Itemprop: 2 H1: 1 Data-title: 6 alt: 6 I hope this helps

Ah, got it! Your best bet is to choose the sites you compete with most. There are a lot of ways to figure that out, but one reasonably quick way is to search for your most important keywords in an incognito window, and choose 3 sites you'll need to outrank in order to pull ahead on the SERPs. Does that make sense?

A lesser evil

I know this was also reported in a message to our help team, so I just wanted to follow up here to note that this was a bug in our system that has been resolved by our engineers. We apologize for the inconvenience this caused!

Hi there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here. Yep - Eric McGehearty is correct! When we're counting all the links on a page, all links, including <nav>links, will be included. Anything that is <a href="" will="" be="" counted. <="" span="">​ ​Hope this helps!</a></nav>

Hi Pamela can youl provide the URL and the critical issue our tool is not seeing?

Hey there! Unfortunately we don't currently have an option to exclude certain crawl errors from reporting in your UI. You can always download the Site Crawl CSV and filter the results to hide those errors, if you wish!

Hi EliteVenu! I'm so glad Ryan pointed you in the right direction. If that turns out to fix the problem, mind marking one or both of his responses as a "Good Answer?"

Thanks Ryan and Chiaryn!  All looks good then!  So happy

Hey there! I just followed up on the message you sent into our help team, but I wanted to also post the answer here for reference. It looks like the robots.txt file may have recently been changed for the site because I created a new campaign for the subdomain and I am not getting that same error. You should no longer see this error on your next campaign update or you could create a new campaign and you would no longer see the error there. I did notice that you ran a number of crawl tests on the site since the campaign update, but the important thing to realize is that the crawl test can be cached for up to 48 hours. (I removed the crawls in this version of the screenshot for privacy.) We also cache the crawl tests from campaign crawls, so it looks like the first crawl test you ran on the 29th was cached from your campaign crawl and the two subsequent crawl tests were cached from that first crawl test. Again, I wanted to note that it looks like there are only links to about 2 other pages (terms and privacy) that are on the specific subdomain you are tracking, so we aren't able to crawl beyond those pages. When you limit a campaign to a specific subdomain, we can only access and crawl links that are within the same subdomain.

Hello David, Thanks for the response. I was able to receive a response in Chat yesterday that was very similar. All of the different URL's for the same product were pointing to the same canonical (the right one), so I was highly confused. Knowing that it's about Source Code helps a lot. Giant ecommerce sites like the one I'm working for it seems would have this issue more than smaller, boutique sites. All of the products have their own unique product descriptions and titles & meta descriptions. So, for our brand, it is about the source code. I can suggest that the writers add more copy to their descriptions, but I can't imagine that will be a fun conversation. I really appreciate the thoughtful answer to my question. Thanks so much!

I see over 50% "not available" for keyword volumes (when working with swedish keywords). These are not long-tail keywords and Keyword Planner in Adwords show these as having search volume. How can this be?

Well, Moz Content isn't something I subscribe to yet so I'm just sort of giving you an outsider's perspective but I like to do the searches and look for content that's winning. Here are some things I use in my analysis using Moz Content: All the related keywords on the top content. They are often different from each other and it shows me how the keyword ties into its related terms. For instance, if you do a search for "email marketing" you come up with a Clickz article that has: b2b email, email marketing, b2b email marketing, b2b, b2b email marketing tricks. But the 2nd result is Marketing Profs and theirs has email subject lines, subject lines, worst performing words, etc. So you can find a variety of topics & keywords this way. Blog research. Want to know what someone is searching for in your niche? Try "problem with SEO" - you will find some of the top articles that answer these questions and can put your own spin on the answers, as well as find related questions and think of ways to use the keywords in question. For example, under "Worst performing words" in the email example above you could do a post of "20 Best & Worst Performing Email Marketing Words" - new content, new-ish topic, perfect blog material. You can also then put "worst performing email" into Moz Content and find the top performing content for that exact search. Use Moz Content + Open Site Explorer. Take that top performing Clickz link and put it on OSE. Now you have all the links back to that content. These are places that may be interested in your new article and help you build backlinks, as well. Age of great content - the older it is, the more something is likely to have changed. You can update these articles for your own audience, look for broken links (broken linkbuilding), and when you do update, go back to all the links they had and show those site owners your new & improved content. Lots of ways to use Moz content - these are just a few ideas right off the top of my head and none of these even require the paid version. Once you get that you open up auditing your own URLs, getting CSV exports of results, having a content inventory to find gaps in your material and gaps your competitors left open, topical analysis and more.

Thank you for taking the time out Dirk you have put my mind to rest.

The page is actually a Registration form that is flagged for not having a Meta Description. So if I give the page a meta description will all of my registration form pages with query string parameters be removed from the report? Or are notices still flagged as "Medium Priority"?

Hi Brandon! Sorry about any confusion around this. The reason you're seeing different scoring metrics is that we recently updated the Page Optimization section within your campaign. We realized the A-F grading system, while understandable in certain countries, is not used world-wide. It was causing confusion so we changed it to a 1-100 scoring system. We also adjusted some of the weighting of the optimization factors and added new explanations for the on-page issues. The Page Grader tool has not yet seen some of these updates, so you'll still see the old scoring system there, and because of the differences in weighting for the factors you might see slightly different scores. We plan to get the Page Grader up to par in the future! I hope that clarifies things!

I will send details to help@moz.com Thank you.

Thank you
