Welcome to the Q&A Forum

"SEO Ranking" is an Iphone app, you can run a check whenever you launch the app and "SEO Edge" is pretty good, it had a few bugs but they seem to iron them out quickly, it tracks the top 100 results and shows the what site ranks in each position with yours highlighted in the listing.

The on-page grader lists the pages that rank in the top fifty for a keyword in one of your campaigns. In other words if you are seeing a phrase, even if the associated page is graded an F, it is because that phrase brought up that page in the top 50 search results. In general the rule is one phrase per page, but it is not uncommon for a page to rank for a group of related long-tail queries. However if a page is an F for a query, you may have to make a lot of changes for it to grade well for that query, which would likely have a bad effect on the query that is is meant to rank for. It would probably be better for you to figure out what elements of the page caused it to come up for the phrase it got an F for, and make a new page keeping those related elements and adding content relevant to this phrase. [The letter grades are not supposed to be the final word on the probable success of a page, btw.] As far as whether your client is causing significant changes in Google's behavior, I would think not or else a lot of SEOs would be spending a lot of time typing in strategic search terms. [Though perhaps if they are very low search volume terms and bringing up results on the fifth page, it might not be impossible that that is what Moz is picking up. But it still wouldn't be important.]

Thanks a lot, Tom. I appreciate your time and thorough response. This is exactly what I have been looking for to validate my suggestions and assumptions. I have been careful when implementing each and every annotation in the sitemap, I think I get it right and let's see what will happen. Cheers, Annie

Hey John If you decide to take action action, then being aggressive with the links is a good approach. Both in Cyrus Shephard's great Moz blog post on the disavow tool and also advice from Google itself says if you suspect an entire domain to be spammy, go ahead and disavow all of it. However, from my own perspective, I would only go through and create a disavow file if I knew for sure that I was suffering from a manual or algorithmic penalty.  I have seen very little benefit in being proactive with that tool (eg rankings are good, you spot bad links in your link profile and disavow them to be safe) and, in fact, I have seen a number of cases when a disavow was submitted "prematurely" - ie, a site was ranking fine and then disavowed some links and saw rankings fall. If we want to look at it from a slightly skeptical point of view - if you're not suffering from a Google penalty, do you really want to inform Google that you have suspicious links in your profile? However, that is a matter of preference based on my own experience.  I would certainly take note of the links you think are bad (and perhaps put together a file ready to go, just in case). Worth noting that prweb.com has made all of its links nofollow anyway, and so as they're not passing on link equity it doesn't seem logical to then disavow them (as they have no SEO benefit) Also, keep in mind though that if you visit the page and the link is not there - and especially if you do a google search for cache:http://www.example.com and see that the cached version contains no link - there's a very good chance that the link has already been discounted anyway and so would not be flagged in a manual or algorithmic check.  Seeing as you have so many links from the domains, that may be occurring. Hope this helps

Thank you all for suggestions. I have tried **Competitive Link Finder **but it yields too few results, so I have to resort to going through links manually. For example surely there are a few pages that link both to trello and leankit, the tool found only a few. Maybe I am not using it correctly, but there are not many options

Thanks. I had the feeling i was probably getting a bit carried away. I've been working so long at the link removals now, and I'm worried if I leave anything spammy we'll be stuck with this Penguin penalty forever, but I'll just ignore these links.

We also read the forum and assign questions related to product support to our help team. We actually love getting questions in here because of crowd-sourcing, and depending on how many customers we have writing in, it helps us get our job done that much quicker. Unfortunately, this issue looks like it might be a bug we need to triage.

We solved the problem, it was our analytics code on the website, it wasn't complet. Thanks for helping

Great answer with some quality humour. Love it! Thumbs up for you sir!

Thomas has a lovely answer. I'll just throw in that sites that have the top-level domain like .edu or .gov tend to have very good trust scores. Links from these sites will earn you more MozTrust.

Thanks.. it took me a while but I did realise that one eventually.

Traffic, yes, SEO, no. Search engines cannot "read" videos very well, unless you have a very robust video sitemap, which each of these sites like ABC news, also uses. (It's unlikely they'd do that.)

Hi there, Campaign data is only viewable for the current week or days within the week. There currently isn't a way to pull up previous weeks data for comparison for things like crawl diagnostics and on page grades. Historical keyword rankings are available via a CSV export on the Rankings page though. Re: monthly data, we won't present this until the 4th of the month and we have roughly 24 days worth of data. This makes sure the reporting is as comprehensive as possible for a monthly view. So your first monthly report should be available by the 4 of October. Hope this helps clear things up!

Hi Ahmad, I am happy I could be of help. You would take the location that ranks the best in local and leave that in a perfect world. However, there may be a good reason for you to not be able to do that. To answer whether you revivify or restart the answer is is yes you would begin again. If you are lucky there is a second phone number that has no ties to the lower ranking business and you can use that for your new NAP Do you have phone number associated with associated with both businesses? Sincerely, Thomas

Thanks to both of you. This all makes sense. We do have an option to opt out of certain sites and feeds like factual and that is what we have done. If we find duplicates i shall let you know.

One thing to note that I forgot to mention is that SquareSpace does use rel=canonical tags on their pages. So while your reporting may be off, link juice will not be split between / and no-/ pages. This also takes care of duplicate content problems, as the tag defines the source content.

Hi We use a company called Awin (Affiliate Window) in the UK and they are very good. As far as I am aware there is no two way affiliates, but the easiest way round it is, to set your self up as a publisher and advertiser. Its quite easy to do, and you could be up and running as an a publisher in minutes. Thanks Andy
