Is it worth creating a page for misspelled keywords?
Hi, No certainly not. If you do that means you are optimizing pages for search engines and not users and even users will not appreciate it. Hope you understand. Thanks

SEO Best eCommerce Practice - Same Product Different Keywords
Hi Chris, I think the best is the first option. You can use teasers on the main product page for each theme like cycling, diving etc. And the details will be on the separate subpages. Inbound link for main product page will support all subpages. And you can link between each subpage too. NO4fc

If we have all products on-site for indexing, do we get dinged by Google for not transacting on-site?
The only issue I could see would be how different your 'product' pages are to your off site transaction pages. I'm thinking duplicate content issues. As long as teh content is different on each though I can't see any issues personally

Is Moz's backlink checker.... just... not good?
Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here. I think I can help explain why you're seeing fewer links with our tools than with others. Open Site Explorer and the Link Analysis page of Moz Pro Campaigns are both tied to our Mozscape index, which tends to update roughly once a month. Just a few points on how we compile our index: We grab the most recent index. We take the top 10 billion URLs with the highest MozRank (with a fixed limit on some of the larger domains). We start crawling from the top down until we've crawled ~130 billion URLs The idea here is that we're focusing on the highest-quality links we can find, coming from the most prominent pages of authoritative sites. So, while you may not see every link for a site within our index, we're aiming to report the most valuable ones available! Most new sites and links will be indexed by our spiders and available in Mozscape and Open Site Explorer within 60 days, but some take even longer for many reasons - including the crawl-ability of sites, the number of inbound links to them, and the depth of pages in subdirectories. This tends to bias our index in favor of newer links. Linking data is only stored in the index for around 180 days. After that point, unless the crawler has a compelling reason to return to your site and the sites linking to yours, recrawl and reindex them, those links to your site can fall back out of our index again. That doesn't mean they're not out there on the web affecting your SEO, just that our tools don't see them anymore. You can see our most recently updated schedule here as well as some more technical metrics on our Mozscape API Updates page. You can also see when the last and next updates happened on the Open Site Explorer (OSE) homepage at any time. Since Moz focuses on quality of links over quantity, we are always focused on the most relevant links to display to our users. It's possible that Moz's index will leave out some of the lower-quality (non-link juice providing) links out of our index because of this. So, that might explain why you may see some discrepancies with what other tools may be showing. You can read more about how we build our index in our guide here. I know this is a ton of information, so if you have any questions or if I didn't make anything clear enough, please don't hesitate to ask! You can always drop us a line at help@moz.com and we'll do our best to clear up any questions you might have.

WPEngine Causing Redirect Chain
Hi Jared, In the WPE redirect rule editor, it doesn't provide an option for the non-www domain. Only "All domains" and "www.mywwwdomain.com". What do you suggest doing here to eliminate the redirect chain?

Is this keyword stuffing or best practice?
Joe, Without seeing your site it would be hard to say. I do not think that would be considered keyword stuffing from what you mentioned. "Keyword stuffing" refers to the practice of loading a webpage with keywords or numbers in an attempt to manipulate a site's ranking in Google search results. Often these keywords appear in a list or group, or out of context (not as natural prose). This is Google's definition. Here is a great breakdown from MOZ https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo/myths-and-misconceptions-about-search-engines Supporting Article from Google's Matt Cutts: https://www.mattcutts.com/blog/avoid-keyword-stuffing/ See this image, this would be keyword stuffing. http://www.mattcutts.com/images/alex-chiu-banned.png Hope this helps

Should I set blog category/tag pages as "noindex"? If so, how do I prevent "meta noindex" Moz crawl errors for those pages?
In the situation outline by the OP, these pages are noindexed. There’s no value to clutterig up crawl reports on these pages. Block rogerbot from non-critical parts of your site, unless you want to be alerted of issues, then don’t.

Set Robots.txt file to crawl my website at specific times
Charlene, Your question does not make any sense, what block are they talking about? If your website provider is not allowing Google to crawl your site you should go look at getting a new provider straight away.

Reviews on Product Page or Separated
I like Logan's answer. You may, however, consider allowing a single "endlessly scrolling" Reviews page for each product, which: 1. Would NOT have the first X reviews shown on the Product page (sorted in whatever way works best for you). 2. Would perform the role of Review Pagination, though without taking anyone off the product page unless they REALLY wanted to see more reviews by clicking the (see all reviews) link. I think this is pretty similar to how Amazon does it, and they know what they're doing when it comes to maximizing conversions. 3. Would be indexable and optimized for "Product Name Reviews". 4. Would never be "built" unless there are at least X-reviews for the product, necessitating pagination.
