Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Jack, Thank you so much for your answer. I was just getting worried because I double checked and it is correct and the testing tool confirmed it Thanks.

Hi there, Sam from Moz's Help Team here - thanks for reaching out and sorry about the trouble! Unlike the rest of the metrics available in Open Site Explorer, the Spam Score doesn't update each month with the rest of the index update. The Spam Analysis section updates on a completely separate schedule, and much less frequently; usually around every 6 months or so. So it's entirely possible that you're seeing Spam flags that are no longer relevant to your site. It's always best to trust your instincts: for example, if you know you've got contact info on the site, and we're flagging you for it being missing, you can safely ignore that warning. I hope this helps - let me know if you have any further questions!

My pleasure!

Awesome! Thanks.

Thank you, that's very helpful.

Absolutely agree with Egol. This might not help with the SEO per se, but such a big SEO factor is how happy people are on the page itself. You might find by adding important bullets that you retain someone for longer, make them want to read further and then go on to make a purchase. Make the pages as good as is possible. -Andy

Thank you! Yep - I redirect the .html files to the https domain to as specific a page as possible. Its good to know that I don't have to factor in the CNAME or A records into the issue. It sounds like I am doing the right things from what you say - yet I do have some redirect chain warnings in my Moz crawl.

Yep, I completely agree.

Hi Roman, I get that, I am just not seeing why moz crawler even found links such as these to throw a 404. I donot think these rss feeds existed on my site at any point. So i would like to find why they are coming up as 404 and fix it properly without redirects. Thanks,

Moz, Semrush, Ahrefs have a report tools but they are mostly for one time reports or for your own consumption ( SEO specialist not for regular user ), Raven has the option  to integrate several data sources and have the option to publish it in a URL so you sent a simple link and your client will see the updates in real time, I'm not telling that other reports are bad (Semrush, Moz, Ahrefs) but from a workflow perspective and data management saves me a lot of time.

Moz Pro Local if you are worried about duplicate listing for your business I think is the best solution. This is just my opinion there are other useful tools but I don't have experience working with them. Maybe you should give it a try Whitespark Local Citation Finder SEOProfiler SEOPressor

It would make more sense to transfer your site to the new domain first. Get that working correctly and ranking as it should and then you can focus on changing the design. Here is some good information from Google on how to achieve this. -Andy

Andy, I think this is spot on. I will focus on the value I can add. Thank you.

Hello, Thanks for the answer. if I merge all the similar pages to much fewer pages what will happen with the internal links?

ok, Thank You, Will apply the same

Thanks Andy! I'm still a little confused on how I will be copying data over from Site A to Site C. Is it just a matter of creating an empty Wordpress shell with no template and copying the data from Site A to it? (And how is that usually done?) Then would I redirect all Site A's pages to Site C's pages, just with the URL changed? I.E www.SiteA.com/large-dogs redirect to www.SiteC.com/large-dogs I don't want all of Site B either, just about 10 pages from it, would I manually copy them over also, and how would that be done? Thanks

Do you have multiple similar products that are targeting the same keywords, could the pages be keyword cannibalising each other and the pages keep switching in your rankings. If so you may benefit from canonicalising similar content pages that may not be direct duplicates or trying to further seperate the content. e.g. Product review 1 ranks P3 then drops whilst another page say Product review 3 takes its place. Do you track each url placement?

Hi, No, there is no good reason to do this. For linking purposes, this will do absolutely nothing for you. Sitewide and Footer links are mostly just ignored or devalued by Google, but could end up with you looking spammy. Rand actually did a Whiteboard Friday about this very subject last year. https://moz.com/blog/links-headers-footers-navigation-impact-seo -Andy

Thanks Andy, I suspect you're spot on. Even Google uses keywords with their own products, eg https://www.google.com/analytics. It's just quite amazing that so many big digital agencies are happy to miss out on the opportunity.
