I am struggling to log in from different PC's
Hey there, Sorry no one from Moz got back to you yet. There's nothing in our system that will prevent you from logging in on different devices, even at the same time. This sounds like it's more of an issue of using incorrect passwords. What does it say when you try and login? Thanks, Joel.

How to Optimize Multiple Listing Pages
Hi, OK, I understand a bit more now. These types of pages are automatically by the Content Management System (CMS) on which the site is built. I'm not sure you will have much control over the Titles, but it depends on the CMS used. Wordpress, Joomla? There may be a plugin or extension you can use to fix the automatic titles generated for these even if to only add a Page 2 or Page 3 etc to the end of the title. In terms of optimising them beyond that as there not a lot you can do if the content is being generated dynamically and the pages presumably contain lots of links to other articles so in a sense you should not consider them as landing pages to appear in search engines but as signposts for search engines to build links on your site.

Has anyone already tried these hosting service (iPage, Just Host, a small orange and Fat Cow) ?
Can't believe you being an Interactive Marketing Manager fell for a cheap looking fake review affiliate site. Except A Small Orange, the others are crap. As horrible as you can get in the hosting industry.

Recent Rank drop after Penguin 2.1?
The "good" links we disavowed earlier are ranking well on Google. Most are from high quality sites related to the same niche. The issue was, the reconsideration request got rejected the twice. The example links mentioned in the response were all created by our site visitors. We were in now way responsible for the links placed on those pages. The pages were from BlogSpot, Wordpress and some really popular forums with content created by the users. But we had to disavow those as well and similar pages to get the penalty revoked. We never checked the page quality and authority that time. We checked later when the traffic dropped and found a lot of pages to be good.

Who is placing pieces of code into my site??? Is it MOZ bot??
Hi Fabio They are not harmful and you can leave them. FYI, there is something called a "find and replace" which you could do in a few ways to remove the unwanted code; you can move your HTML text to a text editor like Text Wrangler, do a find and replace and move the HTML back to WordPress. you can use something like this plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/search-and-replace/ which should work well within wordpress. As noted, it's not harmful, but if you ever did need to remove lots of text at once, that would be the way to do it. -Dan

Multiple geographic targeting in Europe
I'm using a .de domain, so google does the geo targeting by default. I have several region specific sites that have a high degree of content overlap, so I use <link rel="alternate" tags to prevent duplicate content issues. I also do ip based redirections so users are sent to the most relevant site. the urls in question are http://fiik.com (this only does the ip based redirection) http://fiikelectric skateboards.com - USA http://fiikelectric skateboards.com.au - Australia http://fiikelectric skateboards.co.uk - UK and english speakers in europe http://fiikelectric skateboards.de - Central Europe, German speakers, not built yet maybe the best approach would be to use a .com or .eu domain, so geotargetting isn't forced, the rely on the <link rel="alternate" tags to do language based targeting.

Google Analytics alternative with free trial version
Do not become discouraged or get mad at yourself about this situation. A new paradigm is emerging, Google will not supply info about the visits that are coming from its search engine and we are obliged to work on this completely new environment, trying to find ways out and palliatives, in the meanwhile. All of our proposals are to "overcome" this current situation for 100% not provided. Our obligation is to move forward and find alternative ways of coping with our clients’ needs and our thirst for info. You (actually we) should start a new approach to Bing & and other SERPS from a different perspective. As Fishkin told in his WBF (actually Tuesday) it’s a matter of Google´s monopolistic situation, they are driving us to Adwords, and the only way out is to find other means of information different from Google´s search engine. Come on, lets give Google a "damn good battle to fight" ( actually I do not mean any battle, nor fight but let us move forward) Cheers

SEM Logic Or SEO Scout: Softwares for writers - Any Suggestions?
Egol, You are a mine of information! Thanks for pointing out the LSI being done by Google. I'd been trying to get those semantic keywords in to my writing but I see that it's not really needed. "cat photos" gets me cat pics, cat images, cat photographs, cat pix so I can see that Google are interpreting the intent pretty well already. Steve

Appropriate use of rel canonical
Yeah, I'd really tackle this error first, as the other one could be a false alarm. It sounds like you've got multiple canonical tags on a single page, which Google can't interpret very well (and that might just ignore it or use the wrong one). This often indicates that your CMS is double-placing tags and could signal broader problems.
