Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Judd. You wouldn't need the title or description tags for Google's sake (or Bing's sake) on pages behind a login since they couldn't crawl those pages. That said, title tags aren't just used by search engines. That is also the title that shows for the page in the browser window and in the bookmark name (if people bookmark those pages), so it can be worthwhile to add a good title tag to help your visitors. Obviously, beyond the meta description tag, there are other meta tags that you might need (like meta viewport or metra reresh, etc.).

Hi there! Sam from Moz's Help Team here - I'm sorry about the trouble! Unfortunately, this would be a result of our crawler's inability to work with Javascript. If your site is primarily Javascript, then the data you get back with regards to the crawl report won't be completely accurate because of this. There's no real work around that I can recommend for this one, since it is a technical limitation, but I did find some good blog posts and discussions in the Q&A about this when I searched our Help Hub. While the tools and data that rely on our crawl of your site may not return the best results because of that Javascript, your keyword rankings and link profile should work just fine. You might also want to check out a few tools that are compatible with Javascript, like Botify or Screaming Frog. I'm really sorry I can't be of more help here; I'll definitely be sure to pass this along to our Product team as feedback on your behalf. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with, or if there are any follow-up questions you might have!

Hi Jason! Thanks so much for coming back on this one. I'm really glad it helped. Since I responded, one of my Moz Blog posts was published which might offer additional help. It walks you through doing a full competitive audit, with a free downloadable spreadsheet to help you: https://moz.com/blog/basic-local-competitive-audit Going through the formal process of the audit could help you turn up some more things for your to-do list. Good luck to you!

Katarina shared some good advice. Remember that the Open Site Explorer, good as it is, can't crawl the entire web, so might not discover every single link for a competitor. And to displace an established competitor with consistent rankings doesn't mean matching their inbound links - it means exceeding them, as they'll also have the benefit of the domain history, existing traffic etc. I've done some outreach in the past for a major window supplier in the UK, and if you use your graphics and animation skills in the right way, you should definitely be able to improve your situation. It's just about finding the right angle for the right audiences....

Hi, First of all, there is no way you can submit a URL to any tool and it will provide you with a definite number of keywords you rank for. Why? Because you can have thousands of long-tail keywords that would bring your URL in search results. There are a couple of things I would advise. The first one is a tool called SemRush - this will show you limited number of keywords your URLs rank for - you can explore your competitors' pages and their keywords too. The tool is really interesting, it allows you to submit projects and track changes over time. Another tool is your own Google Search Console which is probably the best solution - simply select a date range and you will see all search queries you received impressions for. You can also see clicks and positions. You can select a particular landing page (equivalent of your URL) and this way explore all search queries that triggered this page for impressions. If you are not sure how to do it, let me know and I'll send some screenshots across to guide you through. It will be very useful for you indeed! i hope this helps. Let me know how you get on! Good luck! Katarina

Hey there! Sorry for any confusion about this. Your monthly data reports are a summary of your weekly collections, so we need to have at least 21 days worth of campaign activity within a single calendar month in order to compute the monthly roll-up. June will not have a monthly data roll-up for this reason, but you should see July data come through in the early days of August. I hope that clarifies what's happening!

Sorry for the trouble! Sometimes new account emails can get sorted into spam folders in your email program, so you may want the users to check there. If you're still unable to find the account setup emails, feel free to regenerate them by attempting the sign up again, or reach out to us at help@moz.com with the specific account emails and we can take a look. Thanks!

Hi Alessia, While you could say these are duplicates (as Igor said), I don't think Moz should be reporting these as duplicates because they are not an issue as they are handled with hreflang and pagination - and won't actually cause you any problems. However, I would update your Italian pages to use Italian titles. They seem to be in Italian everywhere except the title - this will be important for you to get Italian traffic to your site. There is also a small issue with your hreflang implementation where you are only specifying a language. You must specify a language and a country for hreflang to validate. Cheers, David

HI,just checking if anyone figured out the issue with this?

Hi there, Google tries to select the search results that are most likely to satisfy the search queries - I.e. they provide answers, resolve issues, etc. in comparison with results that will be diverse but likely to result in bounce rates. Therefore, it is irrelevant that multiple results come from the same domain. Any brands search can be a quick example that will just confirm this claim. I hope it helps. Katarina

Hey Dan, So that's the problem. Our site is up and i can manually navigate to anything including the robots.txt file. I've done this multiple times throughout the day and different days as well and manually triggered different Moz crawls at different times so i've ruled out an outage.

I believe you already understand the answer. Through my experience with google Adwords, and learning much of my Adwords campaign skills for marketing veterans such Tommy Griffith. My understanding is that Monthly Searches are to be treated more as trends rather than accurate numbers. However, those trends seem to be precise and a meaningful to gauge size and market share. I am going to suggest you dig into what kind of brand awareness campaigns your competitors have been executing on and what kind of marketing they're doing in general. My observation is that given the total market share size combined with your marketing efforts and churn rate 5000 search is a rough estimate of what your brand is capable of acquiring in regards to Search Share at a given period of time. Perhaps you should modify or get started on a brand awareness strategy.

Thanks Patrick. It is helpful. We've approached appx. 600 website owners and asked them to remove our link. Most of them do not respond , so, we disavow these links and sent reconsideration request. Again, Google refuses to remove penalty from our website. Anyone, can help. Thanks in Advance.

We add appropriate internal links in all of our articles.  Although we don't syndicate or grant permission for our articles to be republished, many webmasters copy/pasting quotes into their content have produced thousands of backlinks.

Just ignore it, duplicate content is not a real issue. Definitely not in this case. What Moz is looking at is the overlap in code, if the code is for xx% the same they'll mark it as duplicate. That's why it isn't super intelligent, also don't worry about duplicate content and Google itself. Only if you really mess it up, you'll get yourself in trouble.

As you said, as long as you're adding value then there's no harm in seeking links. As always just make sure they're relevant to your space. Link building is still a ranking factor so if you're getting a ranking increase on top of clicks and awareness why not actively seek links?

Hi there I agree with Kevin here. Relevance is key when it comes to your users (and search engines). You could take it a step further and redirect job URLs on board B to the related job URLs on board A, that way users go directly where they need to go should they have clicked a link from a third party or another site. It might take a minute to do, but the payoff is a better user experience and organic equity being transferred correctly. Here's a tutorial on how to do a redirect map. Hope this helps! Good luck! P

Hi Jeff, If the content on website 1 and 2 is the same and you do a page-by-page mapping and canonicalization, then you'll be fine. Otherwise, I wouldn't do it. Here are Google Guidelines for using canonicals FYI.

Good question, Billy. Single page apps now play a huge role in modern web development and SEO issues make sense. Before October 2015 Google suggested to use the following scheme: http://example.com/page?query#!state I.e. in your examples it will be yoursite.com#!products and yoursite.com#!prices. So main role in the understanding correct page URL played the ! symbol. Here is the full recommendations (It's outdated now, read below): https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2009/10/proposal-for-making-ajax-crawlable.html In October 2015 Google launched new scheme and deprecated the old one.  So here is the new announcement: https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2015/10/deprecating-our-ajax-crawling-scheme.html The major news of this announcement is that now Google DOES index dynamic pages.  But you need: Make sure your JavaScript files can be indexed by Google (because Google run it in their crawler like just modern browsers) Make sure you use HTML5 mode in URL scheme (AngularJS supports it).
