Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi there! Were you able to add the MozBar to Chrome? Just making sure you saw Sean's response. Let us know, thanks! Christy

Hi There It's questionable how much weight H tags carry at all. If they carry any, it's probably really small, or relative to how easy the keyword and industry is. H1's may help a bit more than all others - but when you start getting into H2's vs H4's it's splitting really thin hairs. This is the best resource on H tags and SEO I know of: http://www.seobythesea.com/2012/01/heading-elements-and-the-folly-of-seo-expert-ranking-lists/

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out. My name is Erin, and I'm on the Moz Help Team. Campaigns have a 90% tolerance for duplicate content. This includes all the source code on the page and not just the viewable text. So if a URL is at least 90% similar in code to another URL, this warning will appear. Although the pages in question are may appear to be different on the front end, they are actually duplicates based on this percentage (at least the example URLs I checked in your campaigns.) You can run your own tests using this tool: http://www.webconfs.com/similar-page-checker.php We don't know what standard Google uses, but it's safe to say they are a bit more sophisticated than us - so you might be okay in this regard as long as you have a couple hundred words of unique text per page. Google won't say how much duplicate content is too much, so we like to be better safe than sorry. Our crawler does recognize canonicals, so this might be happening because of where your canonicals tags are pointing. Pages are considered duplicates if their canonical tags point to different URLs. For example, DUPLICATE1 is considered a duplicate of DUPLICATE2 if the canonical tag for the first page is CANON1 while the canonical for the second URL is CANON2. Since the canonical tags point to different pages it is assumed that CANON1 and CANON2 are likely to be duplicates themselves. Here is how our system interprets duplicate content vs. rel canonical: Assuming A, B, C, and D are all duplicates, If A references B as the canonical, then they are not considered duplicates If A and B both reference C as canonical, A and B are not considered duplicates of each other If A references C as a canonical, A and B are considered duplicated If A references C as canonical, B references D, then A and B are considered duplicates For more information on using canonical tags, check out this great post by our very own Dr. Pete: http://moz.com/blog/rel-confused-answers-to-your-rel-canonical-questions Whew! That was a lot of information! If you still have questions, feel free to email us at help@moz.com with examples of any URLs you have questions about. Happy Tuesday! Erin

Hello Peking123, Sorry about any issues this caused you - I went ahead and got this taken care of and followed up with you via email as well. For billing issues we typically recommend going through Help@Moz.com and will answer within 24 hours of the ticket submission. Thanks for being patient!

Two domains can run in the same account. They cannot run in the same adgroup. If you never plan on spending more than 15k/mo per domain then I think it's OK to keep them all in the same account. Just be sure to label them differently for each campaign. If your brands will be bidding on the same keywords, then do not put them in the same account. Because they are two separate brands you can double serve ads, but it's not advisable. There are MANY things that can go wrong if you try to bid on the same terms with two different accounts. I would suggest hiring someone who knows what they're doing to help you set this up & possibly run it for you so you don't end up bidding against yourself and running up your own CPCs.

No problem, glad I could help.

The crawl test will show the results in a CSV file, but not update on your dashboard. It is a way to spot-check and see if the changes have been made. When you go to your crawl diagnostics page, it will tell you the date of the last crawl. We crawl on the same day each week.

Oh no problem! Glad it wasn't a bug Cheers!

By masking are you talking about rewriting the url? If so, they will stay in the index. You can also send a canonical header with your image files too, Google will respect that as well.

Thanks George, I'll think I'll take your advice and hold off for now. Aaron

If you are sold on prestashop and are sure you have the URLs taken care of then that is pretty much all you can do in that regard. I still think you should look deeply at the links after the site is done, and possible do all of this on a dev server to make sure everything copies over as well as you hope. I am not super familiar with Prestashop. So I am hesitant to give much specific advice on it. Some of my concerns come more with that. I personally use Magento if the client is sold on a eCommerce based CMS. They are the largest, most SEO friendly, and the most protected when it comes to plugins etc. Plus eBay owns it now, so you have that behind it. Regardless, I don't know if I really even have '10 things" for you. Check links before and after to make sure everything matches up. TEST, TEST, TEST. Try to break your website, on a dev server. Someone else will if you don't, that way you can identify it before somebody else does. Check plugins. Plugins are one of the best ways to ruin a website. One update, or lack of an update can throw an entire website offline. Accept that any change you make will have an effect. SEO is just like Newtons laws. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Now, in the long run, switching to a CMS could be extremely beneficial, at first it very well may hurt you. I would highly doubt that it would drastically impact your rankings, but in my opinion, you cannot make a change in this world and not have there be some sort of ripple felt somewhere else. Good Luck

I'm assuming you changed keywords in the content of your site, as opposed to changing the meta keywords tag, or changing the keywords you are tracking in Moz Analytics, but want to check to be sure. There is a lot of "it depends" here. If you're a big site like Amazon and change your home page, the search engines will notice that right away. If you have a five-page site that hasn't been changed in a year, the search engines might not notice you've changed things for quite a while.

I would not recommend putting anything on your site that Google can see but not your customers. From- https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66353?hl=en Hiding text or links in your content to manipulate Google’s search rankings can be seen as deceptive and is a violation of Google’s Webmaster Guidelines. Text (such as excessive keywords) can be hidden in several ways, including: Using white text on a white background Locating text behind an image Using CSS to position text off-screen Setting the font size to 0 Hiding a link by only linking one small character—for example, a hyphen in the middle of a paragraph

Thanks Lee.
