Moving site from one domain to another but don't want to lose my historic MOZ stats. Is there a simple way of doing this in Moz?
Hi there, Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately there isn't a way to change the domain in an active campaign. Part of the reason behind this would be the incongruency in the data presented if we did so. What you'll need to do in this case is create a new campaign. You can the archive the old campaign to preserve it's historic data. This way you can always reactivate it and pick up where you left off if needed. Hope this helps and have a great day!

How to avoid duplicate title tags?
Thanks Anthony and Miriam, this site doesn't really have a lot of unique textual content on the pages. It's sort of a portal site where consumers can download travel brochures in each city. I thought Googlebots might read the pages as duplicate because the pages are mostly images and links. There's a one or two sentence description for each page (brochure) as well as a physical address (NAP), but that's about it for text. My thought was that since it's all images and links, Google would have very little to crawl and therefore consider all the pages as duplicates, but the Moz crawl is not considering them duplicate pages from what I can tell. Do you think that since the pages are light on textual content that a duplicate content issue could pose a problem?

Do schema review numbers have to be manually updated?
Are you using a WordPress theme or a custom site theme? Let's use this flow as an example: User comes to your site and views a product User submits a review to the product Manager approves the reviews through the CMS The review shows up on the product page When the review shows up on the product page, your site probably generates that once the review is approved by a manager. The site generates some HTML and sticks in the review. That HTML generated should include the schema markup for the review. Same with your products, if you push a new product into the site it generates a product page. Within that page's template should be the markup auto-generated (if it is built into the theme). Does that help? You can PM me your site and I will take a look to be more specific.

My facebook stats are not showing up in open site explorer when I enter my website
Hi there, thanks for your question! Open Site Explorer will show the number of times the URL you enter was Liked, as well as the number of times any Facebook comments on the same URL was Like, and combine them into a single number. This number does not include how many times your Facebook page was Liked, nor Likes via embedded buttons on the URL. Hope that clears things up. Christy

Brand Name Pulling Into Search Results Incorrectly
My gut feeling is that Google is doing the same thing to the BBB entry (re-writing, that is) and not that BBB is the cause, but it's a little hard to separate.

Duplicate title error in GWT over spelling in URL
Hi, Thanks for taking the time to do such thorough research and offer some avenues for me to check out. To date, none of the above options work for me in Adobe BC. I can only get the hack to work in the blog layout (hack to implement rel="canonicals"). However the results tests out that every page renders the same - not to the individual post, but to the blog list of posts. This leans me in the direction of moving all clients to another platform.

Joomla to Wordpress site migration - thousands of 404s
Hi There Generally those types of 404's won't be too harmful - they sound like they may have been somewhat artificial WordPress pages. What I would do is get your list now from Analytics or Webmaster Tools - this way you will capture URLs that actually got traffic or Impression in Google and redirect those. So run a landing pages report, and an top pages report in webmaster tools - maybe for the last 6 months. Create a text file of all the URLs, and run them in list mode through Screaming Frog. Redirect any that 404. If you were to go back in time, what I would have done with Screaming Frog is - let it crawl everything - you have to allow it to "follow redirects" and "ignore robots.txt" etc - I know Google is not supposed to crawl anything in robots.txt - but basically you'd be letting Screaming Frog get to everything, that way you don't miss any URLs.

Our website uses adaptive design, that send either to mobile or tablet. Do we need to consider Phablets for new designs?
Thanks for the responses. I'll be analyzing the traffic that we get from the different devices. The site is not responsive design; because of the size and nature of the content, we had to go for adaptive design. Right now we have javascript that detects the user agents and deliver the appropriate CSS formatting. I am wondering if Phablets (specially iphone 6plus) will behave more like tablets, or like a smartphones.

Viral Video :Best use - What to do with it?
You are right on. It can be very, very expensive. Don't get me wrong, I love Wistia. I'm a Wistia customer myself. I just don't think it's right for every client/video/goal. Use YouTube. Use YouTube analytics to find out what websites embedded your video. Perform outreach to those websites, asking for a link crediting you as the resource. Make sure the YouTube video is embedded on your website and the actual video description links to your website, to verify proof of ownership.
