Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey Todd! Sorry for the delay in my reply. I copied out your body code from your site into a text doc and then did a simple cmd+f for "hyperbaric chamber", without a hyphen. I then scrolled through and sense checked the results. That's how I came back with 22. I know it's a bit of a hacky solution and not completely foolproof. A bit of news on the metrics you are after. I've heard back from my team that we're looking to get those added to Page Optimization in Moz Pro. I'm sorry I don't have a solid timeframe for the work, but it is in the pipeline from what I have heard Cheers! Jo

Hi, New meta description length is 300 characters and it is not temporary, Moz also updated meta description character limit. See below article. https://moz.com/learn/seo/meta-description Hope this helps. Thanks

Hi Doug If you have duplicate content then you could add a cross-domain canonical on all the pages from site 2 to site 1. Then when it's dropped away just 301 everything, That means you'd still get direct traffic to it but Google would rank the main site 1 and drop site 2 because all the canonicals would reference site 1. You just put the 301s in the .htaccess file I wouldn't do it this way - I'd just make sure all the content was on site 1 then 301 but I understand you might be nervous. Regards Nigel

Hello David, II found the same problem on the site of the Backlinko Backlinko have <title></span><span>SEO Training and Link Building Strategies – Backlinko</span><span class="html-tag"></title> but show https://imgur.com/RkusvVq

Reviewing analytics and running usability tests are the two best ways to decide how much to have in each navigation system. There are several different forms of usability tests that you could use to determine the best way to organize your website and how to label each page: TreeJack is a service that will let you try out different navigation menus to make sure people can find what they're looking for; you could do card sorting which gives people a set number of categories but they physically or virtually group the cards into categories and you can then use the categories in your navigation; you can even create prototypes with a tool like Axure or Balsamiq and have people try out a few different options to see which one works best. If you don't have the time or budget for usability testing, looking at analytics is second best. Things to look for: what content is the most visited on your website? Are people getting there by navigating through your website, or are most of them coming directly from organic search to those key pages? How long do people spend on particular pages? If some of the pages have very low time on site, it's a good idea to shorten the navigation path - you can either deep-link to those pages in sitewide navigation or just look at specific pages and add smaller nav menus within say a sidebar or a CTA button within that page's content, which gets people from that page to a deeper page with 1 click versus drilling down through several different links one at a time. Another great place to look: if you're tracking site search, see what people are searching for and what pages they're searching from the most. If 75% of people who visit the homepage search for 1 of 3 terms, then put prominent featured sections about those 3 terms right there front and center to help them get there. Also take note of the specific keywords people are searching by and use those as your navigational labels - that can be even more helpful than simplifying hierarchy, if you name things the way people use them naturally. In my personal experience it's best for SEO as well as for users when you stick to the old no-more-than-100-links-per-page rule. If you provide too many options, people just get overwhelmed and don't know what to pick. So my own rule of thumb is to only link to about 5 top-level pages in my sitewide header navigation; under each of those have no more than 4 to 5 sublinks, and leave it at that. But I always make it very, very easy for them to drill down deeper - if the site is 4 or 5 levels deep, those 4th and 5th levels are accessible from the 2nd and 3rd directly, so they don't have to click 5 times to get down 5 levels - they can hit the homepage, go to a 2nd-level page, and from there straight to 5th-level if that's what they're looking for.

Hi there, Thanks for writing in - Sam from Moz's Help Team here! That's such a good question, we made an entire resource page about it. (https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority) There's also a video! Here's a preview: Domain Authority is a score (on a 100-point scale) developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engines. Use Domain Authority when comparing one site to another or tracking the “strength” of your website over time. We calculate this metric by combining all of our other link metrics—linking root domains, number of total links, MozRank, MozTrust, etc.—into a single score. In terms of DA dropping, we do get a number of questions about this - overall, DA numbers dropping with an index update is a fairly common problem and can be attributed to a few things: 1.You've earned relatively more or less links over the course of the last 30-90 days. 2. You've earned more links, but the highest authority sites have grown their link profile even more. 3. The links you've earned are from places that we haven't seen correlate well with higher Google rankings. 4. We've done a better or worse job crawling sites/pages that have links to you (or don't). It's a bit difficult to isolate the exact cause of what happened without your own SEO consultant or developer being able to take a dive into this, but you can definitely read more specific information here: https://moz.com/community/q/da-pa-fluctuations-how-to-interpret-apply-understand-these-ml-based-scores if you'd like to understand more about the process:). A great place to start with improving DA could be to focus on link building! You can learn more about link building here and get a more detailed explanation of Domain Authority through this resource. In general, I'd recommend keeping in mind that all of these metrics are relative with respect to the other sites included in our index. The metrics will probably have some additional context when compared to sites similar to your own, including your competitors. Feel free to give those resources a once over to see if they help clarify some of your questions! I hope this helps!

Ahh, this helped answer my question: https://moz.com/community/q/rel-canonical-tag-back-to-the-same-page-the-tag-is-on Thanks All. Going to mark this question as answered.

Thank you for the screenshots. The first thing you need to do here is to edit the GMB listing title to reflect your real world business name. Right now, the title is what we call "keyword stuffed" and is in violation of Google's guidelines (see: https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177?hl=en-GB) Nothing but your real-world business name belongs in the title. So, basically, best advice here would be to clean up the GMB listing and any other citations that may have been built with the stuffed titles, and then build up the authority of the actual brand, both on and off the website. Right now, you're basically being outranked by your reputation on third party websites, which, if you're positive that no penalties are associated with the website, would indicate that the website lacks both authority and clarity.

If the look and feel is different on each site and each has it's own content it would not really matter. Just be careful interlinking those site with each other. If you can assign each website with their own IP that would be the best!

I do have duplucate content (products) on my new platform and I wonder if putting all the links of those products on Canonical could benefit the original specialized websites. Google has not said exactly how they treat these. I believe that rel=canonical has become a substitute for the old method of building links by article syndication.  I believe that many people are doing it at industrial scale and that google will eventually start to discount the beneifits, ignore the benefits or penalize some uses of rel=canonical. For that reason I am staying away from rel=canonical just like I stay away from dropping links in forums, buying links, linkwheels, syndicating articles, etc.  That's me being cautions and taking care of my websites. Each person must decide what they are willing to do.  You can wait until Google publishes it in their webmaster guidelines or you can stop doing something that Google might simply refer to as "manipulation" without getting specific about it.  Google is specific about very few things.

Hey Adam! Thanks for reaching out to us! Your website works perfectly at www.bluerinsevintage.co.uk and our crawler would have no problem accessing that page, however, your Campaign is set up to track the following site: bluerinsevintage.co.uk https://www.screencast.com/t/lfDM1Zxjbzw When we try to access that site in the browser I get the following error message: https://www.screencast.com/t/qLHhbQcH Our Crawler will always start from the HTTP seed laid out in your Campaign Settings e.g. bluerinsevintage.co.uk, and once it successfully reaches that page it should then be redirected to www.bluerinsevintage.co.uk Perhaps someone on this forum or an external web developer/administrator would be able to advise on how to remove this shopify error message? Once this is sorted out, we should be able to crawl your site successfully Let me know if you have any other questions! For general troubleshooting of crawler issues please check our guide https://moz.com/help/moz-pro/site-crawl/crawl-troubleshooting Eli

I also just realized that these are not just images being hotlinked. It seems that on each page with the hotlinked images there is also an actual link with an anchor of "." being used.

What do you mean by "wrong"? Is Google not showing the site links you want to see? Are they formatted incorrectly? Please explain further or show us an example.
