Social Media competitor anaylysis
I've not done one myself, but we use CoSchedule for our social media (and are happy with it) and this is what they recommend. The post even includes a downloadable template.

Link rel=next and prev validator?
Update: I checked the rel=next/prev tags in Screaming Frog and they are not implemented correctly. The homepage is identified in all rel=next/prev tags. Not good. I'm thinking I'll scrap my rel=next/prev efforts and try a view all option with a canonical tag.

My site crawl has been in progress since last week
Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here! Site Crawl results can take up to a week or more to fully populate, depending on a lot of factors, like how large the site is, how many pages we're crawling, and what kinds of errors and Site Crawl issues our crawler is encountering along the way. It looks like you've got a whole bunch of Campaigns set up, so I wasn't sure which to check on, but I would be willing to bet that it's the size of the crawl itself that's slowing things down. Sorry I can't be much more help here — if you shoot us a note over at help@moz.com with the details of which Campaign you're talking about, we might be able to troubleshoot further. Cheers!

Keyword Explorer search tips&tricks e.g. A&B , A&B Not C, AorB
Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here! Unfortunately, there's no way to use modifiers in your searches in Keyword Explorer to see results for, for example, "Apple and Oranges" but not "Kiwi." The tool is looking for exact matches for the keywords you enter, and it doesn't have any sense of modifiers to exclude or include different terms. The best thing to do would be to search for your keywords and then simply group keyword suggestions by high lexical similarity to the terms you've entered, or exclude your search terms for broader results. Sorry we don't have more sophisticated filters in Keyword Explorer just yet! If you have any more questions or there's anything else we can help with, feel free to give us a shout over at help@moz.com and we'll do what we can to get things sorted out.

H Tags in Menu
Hi Becky Concentrate on the on-page content. If H1 and H2 are properly aligned where H1 virtually copies the page title and H2 are reserved for headings just ensure that you write contextually rich content on the page. The more the better but don't keyword stuff or ramble on for nothing. A shorter page which is engaging, with images and maybe video is better than a long rambling piece that people will bounce off. Regards Nigel

AMP vs Responsive Design? Mobile SEO
Hi Niall, AMP is not the same as responsive design. It is a different format for mobile content which removes even more of the "extraneous" stuff in favor of a streamlined, simple design which Google then caches and displays from within a search result page (without the user ever needing to go to your website to view the content). The primary use case is for publishers to streamline their articles and other content, but AMP can also be used for other types of page (including ecommerce, although this is a newer development). The pros of AMP include: faster load times, getting your content featured in article carousels, and potentially ranking benefit; The cons of AMP include: creating separate versions of your mobile pages, removing certain elements to streamline the content, and the potential loss of traffic actually landing on your website. Eric Enge has just put out a blog post here on the Moz blog all about this topic: https://moz.com/blog/amp-digital-marketing-2018

How to stop internal Dynamically created links that generate 404s
A nofollow is a good idea moving forward. That will stop it from happening again. If you do the robots.txt, they can still index, just with no information on the page. If I were you, I'd add the nofollow.

Writing on the web, what is recommended
Do you consider the 2 nd being best because the subject is "your bicycle ride" instead of "you" ? I am actually targeting "alsace bike tours" as a sentence but this sentence is part of the highlights of my tour. Maybe in that case it is better to write "Today, your bike tour takes you to Obernai." or doesn't it matter ? Thank you,

Is any tool which is similar to LDA? Topic modeling
Hey there! I had a little dig into LDA (this tool was before my time) and it looks like a content relevancy analyzer. From what I understand, there are so many factors to consider in modern ranking algorithms and signals that there may not be one tool or metric that does this. Of course I could be wrong, so I hope other people jump in with their tool tips as well! In terms of Moz tools, I can suggest the Page Optimization tool in Moz Pro and MozBar. Resources below https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-pro-overview/on-page-optimization https://moz.com/help/guides/research-tools/mozbar I hope this is helpful! Cheers! Jo
