Open Site Explore page titles show as "No Title"
We're finding the URL on another site or page. We don't actually follow it or perform a GET request, we just collect the URL. This is also why you don't see a status code for the page. If you scroll down in the Moz list, you'll see that the line for http://moz.com/blog/new-data-reveals-67-of-consumers-are-influenced-by-online-reviews includes the page title and a 200 status. That is a page that we have visited as part of the crawl and parsed its source code to find the title and internal links. With extending the title, we would need to change this across our user interface rather than just on this one page and make sure the change didn't mess with the formatting of this table or any other element using the same code, The length of the URL is determined by pixel size, not number of characters so that it will adapt to screen sizes so changing this element will affect the rest of the table. You're welcome to use chrome developer tools to change your view, if you'd like. I'd recommend setting the width to around 450 pixels within the a.url element when you're looking at the page. This will allow you to see the full URL in most cases. As it is possible to download this data as a CSV, this is a lower priority than other changes that we have in progress. We only have a small development team and they are all very busy all the time. I have included your request in our feedback to them and it will be discussed but I can't guarantee that it will be implemented or what kind of timeframe you could expect.

The short answer is "no", you wont get penalized for having multiple H1 tags if the UI is subtle and the User Experience is great.

How do I increase my Trust Score?
I think the best way to answer this is to determine exactly how Moz calculates the score in the first place. They have a handy video explaining it on this page along with more detailed info. Long story short, to improve your Trust score, improve the overall quality of your backlink profile. Technical Definition of MozTrust MozTrust quantifies the trustworthiness of a web page relative to all other pages on the web. It is based off of an algorithm developed by Yahoo! search engineers that is likely similar to the trust algorithms used by Google and Bing search engineers. Just as links express global link popularity, they also express information about the trustworthiness of URLs. As mentioned above, receiving links from sources with inherent trust, like university and government homepages, is a strong trust endorsement for your own page or site. By measuring the occurrence and frequency of these endorsements, MozTrust can quantify trust on the web.

Changing URLs
Hi Kian_moz I feel it depends on how you want to change and how big the impact of changing URL as well as title tag. My situation was quite similar to you and I've changed one of my blog post URL and now the page has got 9th position which is much better than before middle of the 2nd page of SERP. But I lost 36 facebook likes, 2 facebook share. My blog started few month ago and not popular yet so impact was small and now I'm able to get more clicks so changing URL worked fine for me.

Menu impact on SEO
Hi there, You will be fine making this change in terms of technical SEO - as long as there's a link featuring anchor text and an equivalent H1/Title tag set up (along with other SEO considerations of course), this is no different than having your internal link navigating through your header. The only impact might be as a result of having your internal links indexed lower down the page than they might be on your header, but at that point you're talking such a small impact that it effectively doesn't matter. On the other hand, however, is your user experience. I'm sure you've already considered this, but relocating your link structure from your header to another area may impact your visitor's ability to find what they are looking for on your site. For my money, your priorities with regards to this question aught to be: Can my visitors find what I want them to find? How is the content set up to give my pages the best chance of ranking? What link building strategy will best support my choices in 1) and 2) above? If you are making this decision based on aesthetics, I would give it another look. If you are making it based on technical SEO strategy, there isn't much basis that it will help or hurt - just a different way of going about it. E-commerce sites represent a difficult SEO problem, so you probably have bigger fish to fry. Hope that helps and clarifies the situation a little bit - if not, feel free to reach out any time and I'd be happy to discuss. Cheers and best of luck moving forward! Rob

Local SEO: How to get local business showing up in Google Local
Hi Bob, Good luck with your presentation! I think you have an interesting opportunity residing and working in a small town. Like you, I live in a rural area beyond a larger, good-sized city. I find it interesting to study local SERPs in areas like this - they sometimes provide unique insights into Google's 'thinking' when there are fewer options/less data. In the coming months, who knows what you might learn from closely studying your local SERPs?

How Google's "Temporarily remove URLs" in search console works?
Hi there Totally agree with Logan here. I would also make sure that you update your sitemap XMLs to include the new subdomain URLs, and also make sure your internal links are updated as well. If you are able to update high value links to the old subdomain to the new subdomain, that would be hugely beneficial as well. Hope this helps! Good luck! Patrick
