Two pages targeting the same keyword?
Hello Yusa, IF you can, I´d suggest you to merge both pages. They are for the same. That top level category doesn´t carry any importance in the structure of the web. Even, with the second URL, you are repeating the keyword: Roller Blinds. That would be something to take care of. IF you can´t merge, I´d change the latter URL so as the wouldn´t be repetitiveness. And of course add the canonical tag so there won´t be any keyword canibalism. In a general rule, you should prefer: The page that has more content and/or is better optimized and/or has better user experience. Hope I´ve helped. Best luck. GR

James is completely right here! You submit all of them so you can keep track of issues in case they come up with other versions of your site. But there is always a preferred one to use.

Link Building - Blogger Outreach - Need Help!
Some link building campaigns are more difficult than others. If your blog contains unique content that is useful to people, find your niche market. Hopefully the someone you email agrees that the content is useful and will link to it, also benefiting their users. If it has to do with products, again find your market. This can be more difficult, hopefully your products have features that similar products don't. Focus on those features when finding your target market. I would focus on emailing blogs/bloggers & websites personally instead of guest posting. If you get a response there's a far higher chance you'll get a quality link. If your blog has great content, you'll only need to do this a few times before more and more people find you. If you try many times with no success, work on your content. If searches about your content is highly competitive, focus on sub or even sub-sub topics about your content. Content is king!

Is there an easy way to get MOZ data into Google Sheets?
Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here. I'm afraid our tools don't have directly integration with Google Sheets, but you can always download Moz data in CSV format and transfer that into Google Sheets manually, but it's not something we offer an automatic way of doing. Sorry about that! Please let us know if there's more we can assist with or clarify! -Kristina

Rel canonical on every page of wordpress CMS website
Hi, According to Dr. Peter J. Meyers "I’d say to use rel=canonical on the home-page, known duplicates, and any pages with parameters that could drive duplicate content, and leave the rest alone." Here is full article @ https://moz.com/blog/rel-confused-answers-to-your-rel-canonical-questions According to Yoast "At Yoast, we have a strong preference for having a canonical link element on every page and Google has confirmed that’s best. The reason is that most CMSes will allow URL parameters without changing the content. So all of these URLs would show the same content: if you don’t have a self-referencing canonical on the page that points to the cleanest version of the URL, you risk being hit by this stuff. Even if you don’t do it yourself, someone else could do this to you and cause a duplicate content issue. So adding a self-referencing canonical to URLs across your site is a good “defensive” SEO move. Luckily for you, our Yoast SEO plugin does this for you." Yes for wordpress use rel="canonical" for all pages. Thanks

Keywords Dropping Out
It's not necessarily a bad thing to have a product page rank over the category page. As you said, it depends on what experience you want to give the searcher. If they've searched broadly, they might expect a broader result and will therefore result in a higher conversion rate with the landing page as they are given the options they were looking for. Rather than being given a specific product page that they weren't exactly looking for, and bouncing immediately back to search despite you offering what they were looking for on another page... If there is really not much at all that differentiates the products in a certain category, it might be worth having a look to see what kind of traffic/keywords the product page pulls in. If the category page is stronger for that term and the products, I'd even go so far as to "follow, noindex" it and work on optimising the category page for search instead (including all the long tails that the products would otherwise pull in. Optimise it for both the category _and _the product), and focus more on user experience on product pages. Obviously, this would be a case-by-case basis and I would not recommend applying this en masse. If this tends to be a pattern with your products, that you have a lot of products that are similar differing only in things like size or colour, then maybe it's time to rethink your site structure and system. Could all these product pages be a single product page with different options for ecommerce? Would this not benefit your user too, as they could land on the page and see all the options available from the single product page? Think about clothes websites (for example), you choose the model which takes you to the single product page where you can choose colour/size/etc. Would probably make SEO easier for these kinds of products too.

GWT Fetch & Render displays desktop version of site as mobile
Hi Jacob, Is the mobile version significantly different in terms of content? If they're the same, I wouldn't worry too much about this. Google's priority seems to be on a good mobile experience anyway, so I'd be more concerned if this was happening in the opposite direction. But as long as they're correctly seeing that you have a mobile-friendly site (your site looks beautiful by the way!), and they're able to access all of the content regardless of user-agent, I'd consider this a low priority fix. That said, if you haven't already, I'd suggest checking out your mobile vs desktop rankings (especially if you know when the issue started and can do a before and after comparison) and see if there's a significant discrepancy there. Of course there will always be minor differences in mobile vs desktop but if it's a big difference that could be a sign that this is causing real issues and should be fixed asap. Hope that helps!

Moving site to new domain without access to redirect from old to new. How can I do this with as little loss to SERP results as possible?
New wrinkle. I added the redirects to the original site (robinsonsllc.net). Pages are redirecting just fine to new site (ababilling.net). However, I get redirected when I try to login to robinsonsllc.net/wp-admin. I didn't add any wildcards, and I certainly didn't redirect the wp-admin. I have no way to get back into the original site now. Any ideas?
