  • Hi there! Tawny from Moz's Customer Support team here. Sorry for any issues you are running into trying to connect your Google Analytics profile. Unfortunately, GA limits the number of profiles they present us with to 25, which are also a random sample. If you profile isn’t showing up on the first try, I'd recommend attempting to refresh the page until you are presented with the profile you need. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes! If you're still having trouble connecting your GA profile after giving this a shot, write in to help@moz.com and we'll do our best to get you all sorted out.

  • Good topic! So, the guidelines currently state: Ratings must be sourced directly from users. Don’t rely on human editors to create, curate or compile ratings information for local businesses. These types of reviews are critic reviews. Sites must collect ratings information directly from users and not from other sites. My question is, is the service you are using publishing your reviews anyplace else but on your website? In other words, are the reviews posted on your site appearing anywhere else?

  • Thank you for your replies. I don't think the content will be exact duplicates, however I haven't seen it yet. My concern is that it will be low quality, product page content, put up quickly (so could be duplicate with supplier sites) because no one can write 17,000 that quickly. Will so much low quality content affect us?

  • See how it goes in the next few days Clojo and if it doesn't settle down, perhaps start taking a look at the site in a little more detail. Perhaps the recent update pushed a button on your site for Google and they are reindexing? Hard to tell at this stage sadly. -Andy

  • I just posted this for a user on a forum I am a moderator on so unfortunately I can't answer that question. This was his reply to your post: "Hi, Thomas I think the lady who replied last to your thread in Moz had hit the spot. backlink from Washington post must have bump up the DA ( Even though the change is too high ). I wonder why this link didn't show up in web master tools. Google mustn't have indexed this link thus far. and Moz not showing the link is also a question. [image: icon_eek.gif]"

  • Have a look at Sistrix because they have a very nice visibility index with loads of keyword data. -Andy

  • Just keep in mind that people would much prefer to scroll to find something than not see it at all. Perhaps exchange the tabs for in-page anchors that will scroll someone down to a particular part of the page from the top? I have seen Google index these anchors as well, so word them carefully, and you could gain extra from doing so. -Andy

  • Shawn124, whenever you move from HTTP to HTTPs, you'll need to set up the 301 permanent redirects for pages on the site only. The other elements, such as images, JavaScript (if they're external files), and .CSS files will need to be changed only in the code so that they reference the new HTTPs URLs, and not HTTP. If you load an HTTP element (such as an image that uses the full URL in it's reference rather than the image filename only) on an HTTPs URL, then the browser will give you an error.  So generally you need to do two things: set up 301 Permanent Redirect for the page URLs. search the entire website for all references to HTTP and  change them to HTTPs (unless you're linking out to an external site). If the site is in WordPress, you can use the Search and Replace plugin to replace it all at once in the database.

  • I understand the frustration of working with a big company where "because it is new" is a reason not to change the site. That is not a good way to run a business but inertia and people trying to protect their own positions often result in this type of situation. And there generally isn't much you can do to change this, sadly. How terrible is the new site? Does your client just not like it? Or did rankings/search volume/leads/sales plummet when it was introduced? If it is the former, your client should just suck it up and stick with the current site design. It is the customers' preferences that matter and if the site is doing well, that is what counts. If the latter then your client is right to want something different but I wouldn't count much on organic search traffic in that scenario. And I don't know that one working piece will drive company success, though perhaps your client hopes to use that smaller success to drive change for the rest of the site. Good luck with that. Either way it solves your subdomain dilemma--in the first case you won't need one and in the second case it probably won't make a difference.

  • Hi Lisa, Very serendipitous indeed!! In fact after I wrote my Q&A yesterday morning "Including "Volume" on the Tracked Keywords Overview Page in Moz Pro", I received a brief Moz questionnaire in the afternoon. While filling it out I thought I would just mention again how it would be nice to have this feature. Ten minutes later and I was back looking at my campaigns and much to my amazement, a column with "Volumes" was on the page!!! :0 I must admit for a few minutes I was second guessing myself. Was it actually there before I submitted my question to Q&A? If so then that would look pretty dumb!! However I was pretty confident that "Universal Results" was indeed there in the morning. I just figured Moz Support had looked at my question in the Q&A, gone into my account and changed a setting to see a different column display. I had looked before for a column display setting but could not find one. Yesterday after the change I went looking again, but I still could not find it. It didn't matter. I had my volumes column and I was using it yesterday afternoon to make some SEO adjustments based on the information. With your message this morning.....the mystery is solved!! Thanks.....Scott

  • Hi, It isn't something I would recommend. The title would keep changing as the stock changed, but as Ikkie said, Google will just ignore this element. Try and think about you you can make the title engaging at the same time as telling Google what the page is about - and remember, you have 70 characters (approx) to play with now. -Andy

  • Hi Tanan I'm afraid the Mozscape API is for link metrics and does not offer keyword data.
