Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi there, Thanks so  much for reaching out - Sam from Moz's Help Team here! I'm so sorry, I'm afraid I don't understand your question. Could  you pop us an email with some additional information over to help@moz.com? Looking forward to hearing from you!

Description is empty and H1 missing. You could add an H1 to Tag in the Template (not sure if possible for squarespace) wich somehow says the name of the tag and to define it more, Articles marked up with <nameoftag>.  Or use the Text in Header for your H1.  If you cant add descriptions, you cant do anything here. But imho, you dont need to add H1 or MD here.</nameoftag> All you would achieve is , you will not see the issues again. But I am really not sure if you should  index these Tags. It allways depends how much different categories and tags are and how much stuff is in it.  How unique and usefull they are. But in most cases it is better to noindex these . They are oftentimes thin (your example to links with image and excerpt) and duplicate (your example, bet thats 100% exists elsewhere - more than one time) content.  Maybe you can do that. These Tags will never rank for any term, so why optimize them?  Not worth the work. The question is: is it useful to have them? And: is it useful to have them indexed? Is a Visitor using these pages? Are they needed for anything? BTW - Some of your Alt-Attributes are toooo long - I mean, they should describe the image and you sometimes did it how it should be. But in some image-alt's are dont know 200 words?

You should use a canonical for pages with  this utm - but the canonical is without utm. Otherwise you have a chance that you earn duplicate content (you mentioned utms in SERPs).  It doesn't make sense to use a canonical with utm, because this would make organic users to utm=gmb users (if indexed and clicked). And if you dont use canonical and link internally without utm? It happens, that people click on the found knowledge panel url and link to it - bamm! indexed and you cant trust your utm anymore and again, duplicate content. Use canonical = yes  include utm = no your pages: https://yourpage.com/subpage https://yourpage.com/subpage?_utm_source=gmb_ should both have this canonical: <link rel="canonical" href="yourpage.com/subpage"> ```

Hello, I am observing similar type of problem with one of my site namely https://thenamecombiner.com/. Currently it is stuck on page 2 and i wonder its dancing under top 100.  What should i need to do, desperately looking towards solution. Thanks Mark

Hi there! Thanks so much for the great question! I'm so sorry to hear you're having this trouble with the 5xx errors. To resolve this we'd recommend adding a crawl delay for rogerbot to your robots.txt file. That crawl delay would look something like this: User-agent: rogerbot Crawl-delay: 10 This will tell our crawler to slow down when it's crawling. We do not recommend using a crawl delay of longer than 10 as this can keep the crawl from completing. As far as whether this is impacting Google's ability to crawl, I'm really not able to help identify that. I'm so sorry about that! The best suggestion I can make would be to check the server logs for your site to see how it is responding to other crawlers you may be concerned about. ​If you have any other questions about rogerbot or the our tools, please feel free to send an email on over to help@moz.com.

yes, but now go the complete way. Get rid of the links to these tags, because you link to stuff you don't want to index, is low quality and i bet not used.  Why sent google there every time? If they are used you may change your opinion and do something different with the tags - but I saw them and the links, they are not in use i bet.

Hi there, Thanks so much for reaching out - Sam from Moz's Help Team here! This is an issue that our engineering team is aware of - could you pop a message about this over to help@moz.com  so that we can add your site  to the open ticket and then notify you when  we've resolved the problem? Thank you!

Hi, similar response to Andreas but I suppose a bit stronger. Rule of thumb is that with every redirect you use up Google's processing power (meaning it's likely to spend less time elsewhere on your site) and that you lose some link equity at each step. So, if we're answering the question "is a redirect chain less-than-ideal for SEO?" then I would say yes - we should remove redirect chains where we can. However, the question we're answering is "does a redirect chain have any impact on rankings?" To be honest there is a huge range there. If we're talking about one redirect chain, which has two hops (the least problematic version of having a redirect chain) then it's probably unlikely to cause too many issues. It'd be a nice-to-fix but not something I'd spend 5 hours dev time sorting out. If you're talking about thousands of links on your site going through multiple redirect hops, that becomes much more problematic and I'd want to get that fixed more urgently. Unfortunately, as with many things in SEO, the answer here is "it depends". Hope that helps!

This happens to my site as well. There were nearly 2k spammy links that were created automatically and still not get resolved. My site: djcontrollerhub.com

If you are reviving an old website make sure it is mobile friendly. Then you will need to refresh the content and update page titles and meta descriptions. Also make sure you add new content regularly.

Hi, Thanks, BobGW and  Everett for your valuable suggestion. I am in talks with my customer service guys and asked them to create a sheet of questions. @Everett, I am looking into the tools you have shared.

Thank you for your response @Optimal_Strategies. Of course, the right way to get rid of all the trailing slashes throughout the site is to enforce the rule in NGINX configuration. However, the real question we have is the right strategy - 1. Whether we should leave existing content on the site with trailing "/" and continue building rest of the site with URLs without trailing slashes. OR 2. Enforce non-trailing slashes site-wide and implement a 301 redirect to all the OLD urls to new urls.

Hi there, Sam from Moz's Help  Team here! So, if you'd like to keep all of the data  in  one Custom Report (for one campaign), then yes, you can filter/sort using keyword labels when you're adding the  Rankings module to the Custom Report. You can read more about keyword labels  here: https://moz.com/help/moz-pro/rankings/keyword-labels. You can add  a variety of different locations for your  keywords within  one campaign - we have a guide here: https://moz.com/help/moz-pro/rankings/track-local-keywords - one thing to note though is that if you track keywords nationally and locally, or across multiple locales, each location will count as a separate keyword in your total keyword limit. If you have a large amount of locations  you  want to monitor, you could  (depending on your keyword limit) create another campaign for the same site as well, and separate that way. If anything is confusing or you have any other questions,  please do feel free to pop a message over to help@moz.com (there we can take a look  at your specific report/campaign, within your account)!
