High Priority - Error Code 804: HTTPS (SSL) Error Encountered
Hi Sean! Unfortunately do not have an ETA on when the SNI may be fixed. We are definitely aware of the problem and know it is a big concern for a growing number of users, however fixing the issue requires a good amount of time and resources due to the need to significantly rewrite our crawler. If you are able to disable the SNI configuration on your site, then we should be able to crawl it normally. Sorry I don't have better news right now!

How to redirect old domain to new domain.
if English is your default language, keep that at the root (which I already see you guys implemented- nice!) and use subfolders for the remaining languages. be sure to use hreflang markup to let crawlers know which pages are translated versions of which pages.

Receiving 4XX status codes
Hi there! Tawny from the Help Team here. It looks like, from this screenshot, the referring URL does not contain the www - it could be that there's something not quite right about the redirect from http://premier-hd.com/ to http://www.premier-hd.com/ that's tripping up our tools. I found this article about 406 HTTP status codes that might be helpful to you: http://www.hostingflow.com/http-error-406-not-acceptable/ It might be worth going over what you're seeing in your Site Crawl section with your web developer or whoever manages your web page for you. They'll be in a good position to help you address the issues that Site Crawl brings up. I hope this helps! If you have more questions, feel free to write in to help@moz.com and we'll do everything we can to assist you!

About anchor text in links
When it comes to anchor text, you want the links pointing to your site to look natural. That said, if you are trying to rank for the keyword "Best India Travel Destinations" and every guest post link you get is exact match anchor text, this can look suspicious to Google. There isn't some magic percentage for exact match anchor text, but I usually never go over 15%, especially if most of the links are coming from guest posts. Hope that helps.

Moz Bar not providing any data. Tried logging out/back in and un/re-installing, but no dice.
I have uninstalled the extension and reinstalled it - it's working now. Strange, as it is the same version number. Regardless... happy days!

301 redirect to URL plus anchor tag???
Hi Jenny Yes you can redirect to URLs with anchor tags, but to Gaston's point - now that you have everything on one page, they may not rank as well as before. It does depend a little on how much overlap there was across the different products to begin with. The new page might rank well for a little while, but as Google starts to take the new consolidated page into account, you may lose ranking. The root fix would be to maintain separate pages like before, it that's possible.

Are ALL CAPS construed as spamming if they are used in a meta description tag call to action?
Hi, I'm using CTA in all caps and many other SEO's also used and not heard any penalty due to this ever. Second meta description is not a ranking factor it is just to increase CTR. **Don't use whole meta description in caps only CTA part in caps e.g FREE DELIVERY OR FREE SHIPPING. Thanks

Self referencing canonicals and paginated content - advice needed
Hi, Thanks for you advice. I don't see what you see with Amazon, in fact I see something very strange - http://d.pr/i/1ik1T The product reviews sit in their /product-review/ directory and these urls appear to be no index, no followed. They also have a canonical back to the original product page - why bother if the url is no indexed? If I've got that right it would seem Amazon don't get the full value of the millions of pages or product reviews they have?! This from the Google url you referenced seems to sort out my problem thanks! rel="next" and rel="prev" are orthogonal concepts to rel="canonical". You can include both declarations. For example, http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=2&sessionid=123 may contain:

About how much time should I budget for an adwords audit?
I did it myself and went for kind of a top items approach. In the end, it took about 6 hours. Thanks... Mike

Should you use google url remover if older indexed pages are still being kept?
Thanks! Was hoping to recover a month ago but if google is still having these old urls cached, then they very well think we have them still, so hopefully once the urls are gone in google's brain we should see some improvement. Thanks for clearing that up, hope this helps others in the same boat or somewhat close.

Change URL or use Canonicals and Redirects?
I knew it that sounded like a Google A/B test protocol! A good rule of thumb is to avoid changing URLs unless it's absolutely necessary. There's a lot going on with that URL in the background that Google knows about....internal and external links as I mentioned above, but also XML sitemaps and usage metrics. You don't want to point them elsewhere and have them re-learn a new URL structure and step through a redirect just to get there. Google has put more emphasis on UX in the last couple years, so improving the usability of this page, as you've done by A/B testing, is likely to benefit you in the long run.
