901 error code showing url back to back in crawl
An error in the crawler is a possiblity. Although i'm not that familiar with the MOZ-crawler so i have to be careful Have you considered issues where the URL is not actually written back to back in the code where you can see it? But where the crawler might get the impression that it has to written back to back? For instance in JavaScript/jQuery or similar techniques? Good luck! Bas

Multiple pages for a Profile
Hi, Part of this depends on how the backend of the website is structured. If it's easy enough you could make mass changes to the main celebrity page and have those changes take effect on your other pages as well. Obviously this doesn't change the fact that you would still have 20K page to update. With that in mind, another scenario might be to put canonical tags on the news, videos, and image pages that point back to the main /celebrityname page. This depends on how you want your pages to show up in search results, but that would help cut down on the duplicate content, as well as putting ranking "power" in one main place without having to make a ton of manual content changes. Hope that helps!

1 to 1 Advertising Using Adwords & LinkedIn Possible?
Hmm if it is B2B, targeted FB advertising like that is tough. It is possible that the decision makers you are interested in targeting use their work number on their FB accounts. You can create a custom audience using phone numbers and target them this way, Your approach could definitely work. I would recommend that you have some sort of content marketing campaign as well. This allows potential customers to familiarize themselves with your brand without feeling like they are being sold to every time they see something from your company. In your first cold email to them you could send some sort of real estate related article/infographic. For example, an infographic titled "10 Awesome Accessories You Need For Your Loft" or something along the lines of that. I see you have a blog on your website. I would definitely use it! If you could put together one high quality piece of content per month, you'd be surprised how much this would help your business in the long run. Hope that helps.

Does adding more outgoing links on a high PA page decrease the juice passed to previous links?
Google stopped ranking page rank in December 2013 and has said that it won't be supporting it moving forward. So yes, it's pretty much dead. I too was speaking conceptually about the "link juice" or power that flows from one source to another. Moz tries to measure / quantify that power in the form of domain and page rank.

Best Practice For Multisite Targeting Different States With Same Content
I imagine the goal for duplicating the site is to have each state indexed in search. If this is the case, you'll want to create unique content for each state page. To go one step further, you might want to consider adding a unique image and title tag for each state and acquire their own relevant backlinks. Best of luck.

Re-marketing to my competition's visitors?
Currently, Google does have a "domain targeting" feature in its Gmail Ads campaign type. While this isn't strictly "remarketing", it does accomplish a similar purpose, since people receiving email from a specific domain are very likely to have visited that domain in the past. This targeting option is specifically for Gmail Ads though, I do not think they have (yet) enabled this for other types of display advertising.

Where can i install my missing title tag?
Title tags are meta data that are added to each page of your website. As meta data, they are not visible to the visitor on the page, but they live in the code of the page (specifically in the page section) so that the search engines can find and use them. How you add the titles will depend on what system is running your website. If using WordPress, the best and easiest way is to add an SEO plugin like Yoast WordPress SEO or All in One SEO. These will add text boxes to where you create posts and pages that will let you add the page Titles and meta descriptions easily. Hope that helps? Paul

How best can I change my domain name and keep my domain authority and page authority.
You should check out the webinar about when we changed from SEOmoz.org to Moz.com. Our SEO-at-the-time Ruth went through her process and addressed a lot of things like DA drop due to losing some link authority, etc.

Do Google's mobile friendly updates effect visibility on desktop results pages?
Thanks for the response. But presumably when Moz show me search visibility scores this takes into account mobile as well? So maybe our landing page not being particularly optimised for mobile is one factor why our visibility has fallen?

It seems something wrong with Moz Profiles?
We do cache the pages for quicker loading. This means that you'll sometimes see a lag in MozPoints updating.

Domain Authority
Moz's index isn't a complete view of the web, but we try to crawl quality sites out there. Our index is always growing. But to be frank, no one -- not even Google -- crawls the entire web. There are just too many pages out there and computing power is expensive. Google crawls the most links simply because Google is a bigger company with more money and more servers and more engineers and who's business depends on serving web pages to everyone. At Moz, we focus on quality sites because we believe (and hope) our customers and community are focusing on high quality links that are still active, which are going to give them the best SEO results. (Also a huge part of the web is just spam nonsense.) Many SEOs -- and I include myself here -- will use multiple sources of link indexing for the broadest view of the web and their sites. I use Moz's OSE and Google Webmaster Tools (free and big, but includes lots of spam, which can be great if you're fighting a Penguin penalty). Others will use OSE, GWT, and OSE competitors like Majestic and Ahrefs, especially if link building is huge for them and they want to account for every penny. Every index is a bit different.

Optimal Page Titles to avoid cannibalization
Those two options aren't as opposing as you might think. The first option deals with having a highly specialized task/item/service that works for multiple industries. The second option expands on services more. Either one can work depending on what exactly you are offering as an industry and what people in those industries are searching for. Take into account the fact that relevancy is a thing. Just because you don't use the exact word you thought you needed to use, that doesn't mean you can't be found for it. Also remember that everyone searches differently. Just because you believe people should find you for a certain set of terms doesn't mean that they will all always be entering in those terms that exact way every time into Google. So its usually best to expand the way you talk about your industry, make sure to use not only corporate buzz words but also more generic terms that are related, dig deeper into your analytics to see other ways of how people are finding your site, and take a look at Search Console to see what other terms are out there that you have impressions on but poor Click through rate. Overall, this is part science and part creative writing. You need to find the right terms for the most qualified traffic for the right page for your site... but you need to make it sound good and look good without seeming stuffed, spammy, or deceptive. There is no easy formula for word placement that will function 100% of the time. You might find that **[field reporting] **is a better term in general so might want to use that in your homepage but then [incident reporting] might have better clickthroughs when paired with [medical] and [defect inspection] could convert better when paired with [construction]. Or you could find that the search volume isn't that different between most of them and that **[field reporting] **is the main way that all people are looking for your services.
