Internal Clicks and CTR. Is REL=canonical better than Noindex in this case?
Thanks James this has been so helpful. I've searched all matter of search terms but hadn't come across "dwell time" before. It's amazing how one search term can open up the internet for you. I learnt another relevant search term in this article - "Unicorns" are apparently high performing internal pages. http://www.wordstream.com/blog/ws/2017/01/25/dwell-time-seo. Thanks again

Blog.ledsupply.com VERSUS ledsupply.com/blog
I agree with Cesare, if your blog has been a big part of your website I wouldn't move it to a subdomain. You'll lose any authority you've built to your website with your blog content.

How to take down a sub domain which is receiving many spammy back-links?
Hi vtmoz, OK. You can upload a file containing all the domains you want to disavow you don't need to do that one by one. To check thousands of links is not something one wants to do for sure actually... How you could do it: Disavow them all (from Webmaster Tools you export them all to a file) and then you delete a couple of dozens you know are strong and valuable domains. Cheers, Cesare

How do i cancel the free trial?
If the cancel link was hidden, just view source of "My Subscription" Page and then search (ctrl+f) "cancel". Next click in the link like "https://moz.com/auth/account/xxx?redirect=/subscriptions/cancel/xxx" and done.

'some pdfs are in ddmmyyy format and others are in mmddyyyy format - is there a setting to keep them the same format?'.
Okay - thanks Why are you folks using different formats then? Would it not be better to just have a standard format if no choice by the user? Thanks, Dave Roeser

Incorrect URL showing for my tracked keyword
Hey Lida! Thanks for reaching out to us! Our tool functions in such a way that it will find the highest ranking URL on your site for that specific Keyword. I understand your frustration, and it appears to be quite a common problem. However, as Randy points out in this excellent Whiteboard Friday Video - there are ways that you can try to deal with it! To sum up the video: Is there an alternative relevant page on your website which you would prefer coming up for this keyword? Perhaps this page is experiencing indexing or crawling or content or link issues. (Rand talks about these in great detail). Rand then goes on to explain how you can bolster that page's potential ranking signals, or even to down-grade the non relevant page. If all else fails, Rand presents a final potential solution... Check it out! To find the other pages that your site in ranking for you have the option in Moz Pro to choose 'Keyword Performance' from the drop-down (See image) and you will be able to see the other URL's that are ranking for that specific Keyword. This could help with the technical SEO side of things as mentioned above. Maybe some of the SEO pros in our community can advise further! If you do have any questions about our tools that I can help with, just send them my way — I'm more than happy to help! Have a great day! Eli kGSOl

Search results vary in chrome vs other browsers even in Incognito mode: Google's stand?
I agree with seoman10 in that it is often difficult to get accurate results, especially when a client is out of state and you are trying to replicate what they are seeing. One saving grace is that some tools, like SemRush actually allow you to set where you want to search from ex: if your client is in Little Rock Arkansas & you are located in NYC you can set your rank tracking from Little Rock and it is actually pretty accurate. Nothing is 100%, but we have found this is pretty reliable. Cheers, G

Once on https should Moz still be picking up errors on http
Wow - sorry this question slipped past, Ruth. As long as the proper HTTP redirect has been written to HTTPS, there's nothing that needs to be done with canonical tags. The beauty of 301-redirects is that they are server directives - once in place, its no longer even possible to reach the non-HTTPS URLs. The HTTPS URLs should of course still keep their own self-referential canonical tags, but that's handled automatically in most CMSs (Content Management Systems like WordPress.) Hope that covers what you were asking? Paul

Google Does not find Internal links
I got it. By the way I love how your alphabet looks like. I don't understand even a single sign but it looks good... Maybe there is an issue with your code/menu, but I have no chance of understanding anything with an alphabet I don't know... Idea: Add a sitemap that shows Google all you pages and the hierarchy: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/183668?hl=en. In a sitempa you can also assign you pages a relativ importance (score). I guess this should help. Cheers, Cesare

Which backlinks sites to use for full competitive research
In addition to OSE, ahrefs or SEMrush are awesome tools that can be used to reverse engineer a competitors link profile. If you haven't already done so, you may also want to review Rand's whiteboard Friday about getting your first 50 links to make sure you're got all the low hanging fruit before diving into other kinds of link building.

Page Optimization Score is 100%
Hi, You are welcome. No looks good. Don't exaggerate it with the density. What I gave you was just an example. You should do a proper Keyword Research. Maybe the most convenient keyword combination would be Sodium Bisulfate Pool Chemicals. But what you did now is already better than before. You should try to get some good and authoritative links now. That is going to strengthen your page and help you to be ranked better. Linkbuilding should be done regularly over time. Avoid to get 10 links in the next 14 days an then nothing for the next 365 days. Thats not good that looks very unnatural! To check how things are going you can use the campaign manager of MOZ. Its easiest and a very good tool. I guess you want to appear on Google Pakistan, so set it up for that URL. You will get regular reports how things are going. I would wait at least a 1-2 weeks for the next time to check again. Cheers, Cesare

Why do ignored crawl issues still count as issues?
Hi there! Thanks so much for the question! Sorry for any confusion here! Ignored issues should not count toward your total issue count once your next crawl takes place. When you ignore an issue, it will not be immediately reflected in your issue count but once your next crawl takes place, you should see the issue count reflect the removal of the ignored issue. If you're finding that this is not happening and your ignored issues are still being counted, please send us an email at help@moz.com and we'll be sure to take a look and see what's going on! I hope this helps!
