        I learned to ignore the auto grade reports a long time ago. I'm sure somewhere somebody has explained what sort of algorithm they use to generate them, but I haven't seen it. Granted, I have really looked either. I'm happy just running my own reports when I see fit.

        Good luck,

        Don

          LOL. Thanks Don. I'm new to moz and haven't felt this stupid in I don't know how long. Do you know if there's something like a step by step getting started, setting up a campaign - that sort of thing - section? tks!

            The grader is just a baseline report generated to give people starting out an idea of why or where their site could use improvement. If you are having issues with a site or URL, I would post it and see what people on here can help with.

              Isn't this more to do with the fact that the pages that Moz chooses to grade aren't necessarily the ones that you're optimising, but the ones that you're ranking for in the search results? If your home page is the only page with any authority, you can find it ranking for lots of your main keyword terms.

              If the wrong page is ranking you might want to take a look at your site architecture/internal links and the language being used on the page - but be careful, the page ranking might not be a perfect match for the keyword - but it's a whole lot better than having no pages ranking at all!

                Hi Gloria,

                Thanks for reaching out, and sorry for the confusion! By using the 'Add & Manage Page Grades' option, you should be able to add any URL of your choosing along with a specified keyword :). I hope this helps get your page grades back on track! Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or concerns about this! Have a great day, and happy marketing!

                Cheers,

                Jordan
