Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you!

Thank you for the clarification.

You're very welcome

Ah you're right, that should be there - another one to flag to developers!

The Moz SPAM score doesn't directly measure Google penalties. It predicts when a penalty or ban might be assigned to a website by looking for domain, on-page, and backlink warning signals that are typically present in penalized or banned websites. The snapshot you provided shows Google with a spam score of 2. That means Google itself is exhibiting a few of those warning signals. 2 is a low score, meaning there is a low likelihood Google would penalize itself. Moz has an excellent post explaining what the SPAM score is, how it was developed, and what it means. It lays out the different warning signals and recommends potential uses for the spam score. Hope that's clearer. If not, let us know or search Moz for "Spam Score". There is more than one useful explanation.

Hi, Talk to the SEMrush team if you want something like this, I don't like advertising for them here but they can offer you full reports on the keywords your competitors are ranking for in both paid and organic search. You can retrieve a few hundred through their regular subscriptions, their API for some credits or get in touch with their team for a full export of the data they have (most expensive). Martijn.

Hey, Dave from the Help Team here, You can track up to 4 search engines in various countries per campaign which you can select while setting up the campaigns or you can edit them in existing campaign under your campaign settings > rankings tab.  If you need to track more than 4 countries, a workaround would be to create a duplicate campaign that tracks results for additional search engines.  Hopefully that helps to clarify, let us know if you need anything else!

The 3rd paragraph of your answer, which refers to "lighter code", are your referring to a custom theme or can a child them have light code as well?

Sorry for the delay Icarus, I thought RedSweater offered some good advice. My only other suggestion is to view this post - https://moz.com/blog/site-architecture-for-seo. Richard Baxter (the author) does an excellent job explaining the best ways to structure your content for search engines and human visitors.

You know what I don't know if this is something you would like to do or not considering your a custom home builder and I just finished up a custom home I purchased in New Hampshire I have a lot of respect for your craft. I think you can get that information at a very low price and also give your site a little bit more appeal to end-users if you use walkscore.com  you can get data if you think it would benefit your site. If not I would simply leave the pricing off of the site entirely I'm assuming that because everything is a custom home everyone is a different price and they are purchasing the land on their own already. I am certain that you advise them. So you really want to show off what you have accomplished with these past homes that you've built. I would definitely keep the photographs and add video if you do not have them. I know when I look at homes I like to be able to see as much as possible and if I'm looking for a builder I want to see a lot of trust signals and past work. https://www.walkscore.com/professional/research.php https://www.walkscore.com/professional/ I would also definitely crawl with Moz & deepcrawl you want to make certain that if somebody linked to one of your homes for sale that you keep that link equity as well. I would definitely make sure that they are visible and show off what you are proud of. Hope that was of help, Tom

Hi all, I agree with Thomas - if you don't 301 redirect the old domain then your new domain will likely have very few backlinks, and it will take some time for the new one to rank. If you need to keep the old domain, is it worth just keeping all content on the old domain? thanks

Hi Jonny, Are you talking about using small differences in content to post two different Domains? If so why not use Hreflang? granted it doesn't make sense for every website but if they're essentially the same site which I don't know if they are not this would help you quite a bit. Allowing you to post the content English let's say on one and German on another is that what you're trying to do? When you say backlinks are localized are you talking about having a different TLD or you talking about the same domain and TLD? if you're talking about the same domain and doing something like  example.com/Kentucky/shoes  and you want to have content on another domain with something like example.com/Annapolis/shoes you would most likely find out that Google would pick one of the two and rank them. However, if they are outside of the United States please look into using Hreflang if you could give me some examples of the URLs and just put example instead of the actual domain or example 1 example 2 if their different domains I can give you a much clearer answer. Also if you could discuss the content differences that you used to localize the content that would make things a lot clearer as well. Hope this was of help to you, Thomas

the report was run prior canonical directives Anytime remember to noindex your robots.txt https://yoast.com/x-robots-tag-play/ There are cases in which the robots.txt file itself might show up in search results. By using an alteration of the previous method, you can prevent this from happening to your website: <filesmatch "robots.txt"="">Header set X-Robots-Tag "noindex"</filesmatch> **And in Nginx:** location = robots.txt { add_header X-Robots-Tag "noindex"; }

Nice happy to hear that do you work with Greg Reindel? He is a good friend I looked at your IP that is why I ask? Tom

Hi there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here. Thanks for writing in and sorry about the trouble. This is definitely due to the way we collect this information for our link index and it is actually expected that we won’t find every page and link because we aren’t looking for them all! When we collect this data, we’re looking specifically for the most valuable links and, rather than crawling your entire site or every site, we collect this by starting our crawler on a few highest ranking sites and letting it perform a breadth first search to see what it finds. For each page that we crawl, we first collect each of it’s links before following these and collecting the details of each page that these link to and so on. There’s a set limit of links that we’ll crawl per page and pages that we’ll crawl per site so it’s expected that we may not follow every link on your site this way. Generally, we recommend using a wide variety of backlink tools to get the most illustrative picture of how your site's backlink profile looks. OSE and Ahrefs index differently and have different purposes. Ahrefs is good for quantity while OSE is great for finding higher quality links. Domain Authority is our own proprietary metric that is closely correlated to Google rankings, so our customers often use OSE to research influential sites to build links. I hope this helps - let me know if you have any further questions!

Hi, John Mueller said it depends, "sometimes they're seen as reciprocal synonyms, sometimes not." So in some keyword cases, Google would show the same results for a keyword with and without a hyphen and other times, it won't.
