Open site Explorer Facebook Shares
Hi There, Thanks for writing in and for using our Open Site Explorer! I'm sorry that you still haven't been able to see your likes in Mozscape. Unfortunately, this may be an issue our Mozscape update cycle. Mozscape is constantly collecting data but updates our database over a four week period. Unfortunately, if changes were made recently they may not show up until either the next update or depending on when the data was collected the update after that. The next update is on 1/8/2015 so I would check to see if the facebook likes are reflected there and if not feel free to write us at help@moz.com and we will investigate further. You can view the next scheduled update here: http://moz.com/products/api/updates Hope this helps provide some clarity. Please let me know if you have any questions! I wish you a spectacular day and look forward to hearing from you soon!

Keyword Research for country not listed by Google
Hi, Please let us know the country, it may be easier to help you. Did you already check if the country is included in Bing's keyword tool? I am sure there is a tool that includes this country, if there isn't you could try it with google suggestions, not a very good solution though..

Google news rejection
They have every one of my competitors included who cover the same content we do. So that should not be an issue. I do have a news sitemap as well

Subdomain/subfolder question
It is pretty interesting how often the same question is asked. Its good to ask, better than just chose the easiest way - both are right - in that point the folder would be the right decision. Give Horvath a thumb up

Google Local Business SEO
Hi Kevin, If you have face-to-face transactions with your customers, you are allowed to have 1 Google+ Local page per each physical location out of which you operate. These are Google's rules (https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177?hl=en). It is also considered a best practice to have a unique landing page on your website for each physical location you operate. These should be high quality pages that help customers (not thin or duplicative pages) and linking your Google+ Local listings to these pages (rather than to the domain) may also reduce the risk of Google accidentally merging your listings in their system, because you are doing your utmost to differentiate the various locations. You can read more about the practice of creating local landing pages here: http://moz.com/blog/local-landing-pages-guide Hope this helps!

How accurate in your experience are the traffic results from Semrush
I too have just noticed actual traffic is about 2x greater than what SEMRush has reported. I will be more careful using these figures now! I even segmented valid hostnames in GA to make sure spam was not in there, still much higher

Pages that 301 redirect to a 404
I agree with Dave. When the page redirects from a page to a 404 it's another redirect however the url mentioned does not exist so there should not be any links to it within your site. If a competitor is linking to a non existing page it's referred to external and as long as it stays like that then you should be just fine. The problem starts when you start linking to a non existing page. So keep it clean and implement the change I would say.

Why ratings (no. of reviews & stars) still not showing in search results?
If your pages are correctly marked up with Schema you don't don't need to submit them to anything and even if it marked up correctly, it's still up to Google to decide if they give you the rich snippets, or not. ie. Simply having the correct markup does not guarantee you the rich snippets!
