Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hmm the question isn't very clear. The question only you or your team can answer is "are these the keywords we want Google to rank us for"? If yes, then no problem. If not, then you can do several things: Block the reference pages from being crawled using the meta robots tag Submit a sitemap so Google better understands your site structure Revisit your on-page SEO to make sure your html reflects the keywords you want to rank for Restructure the site so that (1) your authoritative content is more prominently linked and (2) the reference material comes after the real content in the page markup.

Thanks, Ryan!  I'll take this to our development team.  Have a good weekend.

Hi Richard. For the first issue, does your site have over 10k pages? I ask because I believe the crawler has a 10k limit and if you exceed that number any issues on extra pages can be missed. Otherwise I would recommend inspecting your site in Google WMT. The idea behind any crawl reporting is to locate issues before Google finds them. Since you are just starting here, Google has likely already discovered any issues on your site. I have not found any broken links in WMT which the moz crawler missed so I trust the tool; however, I have not worked with IIS. For the duplicate page issue, you should ensure only one version of each page is accessible. Determine which URL version is preferred, then either eliminate the other version(s) or 301 redirect them to the primary URL version. In the example you offered, I would suggest http://www.cylc.org/ is the cleaner, preferred version of the URL.

As Ryan pointed out, I would only be concerned about the browser type-in visitors. The more popular your website will get, the more # of visitors you lose to your counterpart. If you are project is serious enough and if you can afford to get the .com, I'd go for that.

I personally don't think it is necessary. The worst that can happen is that a competitor knows you are checking them out. Any good company checks out the competition. If you are trying to hide your origin, it would be better to search from your personal account as the company IP maybe more easily identified. Again though... I wouldn't worry about it at all. You don't need to be stealthy.

+1 for Survey Monkey! It's easy to implement and provides good reporting as well.

Hi Sandeep. While I see it commonly used, "Allow" is not a valid syntax for robots.txt file. You can confirm it with this validation tool: http://tool.motoricerca.info/robots-checker.phtml Since the code is not valid, I am not sure how Google will handle it. My best guess is you should be fine, but you can also use Google's robots.txt tool: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=156449&from=35237&rd=1 Any changes to your robots.txt file should be picked up immediately on the next crawl. Can you please share the specific dates involved when the pages were restricted by robots.txt? There is a good chance your site is fine now and you are looking at old records.

Hi Stephan, I don’t want to use tricks to cheat Google, what I'm trying to figure out is just if "Capitalizing Some Keyword in Italian Language", that is not grammatically correct (for the Italian Language, please see my reply to Ryan) can cause me a better click-through-rate or a penalization. Just want to know if some of you try this in organic SERPs and not only in AdWords ads, or faced the same problem in his SEO work. Thank you so much for your answer!

Hey Will, Very cool to see you dropping by on the Q&A Sha

Sorry I can't give you a direct answer. I would suggest running a test. Upload a new one to see if it overwrites old date. The maybe go on to a small group to see how that works. If everything looks good... upload away!

Hi Joe, You're probably better off directing this to the SEOmoz help team. Fire them an email at help@seomoz.org. As they don't read each Q&A thread, you'll probably get a faster response this way. Thanks, Brendan.

Personally I have no experience with Australian IP... but I have not really seen significative page load speed differences in the case of Italian sites with USA/UK IP

If your target market is SEO professionals, which seems to be the case with your pricing structure, then this logic is flawed. If you are competing directly with SEO professionals for relationships with the end users, then SEO consultants should be sure to have their eyes open when using your products.
