Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey Nina, sorry your crawl data is looking a bit off. We don't count 301 redirects in the duplicate content, so it may be that these pages were not yet redirected when we crawled or that they are responding differently to our crawler than they would in a browser. However, it is difficult for me to say without looking into the pages directly. Can you please let me know which campaign you are seeing this on so that I can investigate further? If you prefer not to mention the campaign name in this public forum, you can email help@moz.com directly or use the contact form here: https://moz.com/help/contact/pro. You can just mention that you are replying to Chiaryn in your message and it will make its way directly to me. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

no problem!

Your robots.txt file is used to give instructions to bots visiting to your site - which parts can/cannot be visited. If your page is in the cache - you are probably allowing the bots to visit the page (else it wouldn't be there). The reason why you are redirected to the homepage should have another cause. Are you using a meta-refresh? Javascript or htaccess redirects? You could try to check what's happening by copying the cache url in httpstatus.io - url to use is http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3A< <insert your="" encoded="" url="" here="">- to encode your url you can use http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/</insert> Dirk

It's a valid concern, but if yo make sure that Google in the new scenario is perfectly able to crawl the pages again then you should be able to point them to the new pages that show up via the canonical URLs.

Poah, images and text in iframes? Thats an SEO-issue right now - and one of the first to fix. It wouldn't hurt you. Everything what is providing useful infos for your customer to explain your products and helps him to decide to buy (or not) is great. images videos text reviews - ratings q&A You can also ad something like related Products or people also bought (smatphone+smartphone-cover maybe) I think that could help: https://moz.com/blog/perfecting-onpage-optimization-for-ecommerce-websites a bit more technically: https://www.stonetemple.com/do-e-commerce-sites-completely-mess-up-their-seo/

Hi there, Unfortunately all listing deletions are permanent. There is a multi-step process to delete a listing that includes a warning it is a permanent action, so if a listing is deleted prematurely it will need to be repurchased. Apologies for the trouble!

I have screaming frog too. But it crawls only website pages. All of those are fine. Pretty much all errors I get are for images on my website. So basically for separate files. Also wanted to ask. Could this type of 8xx error problem be caused by one of the plugins in WP? Around that time I installed Optimise plugin (which was suggested by WP Engine to speed up my site) Thanks Casey.

There is long article on the dev blog how they determine whether pages are duplicates - check https://moz.com/devblog/near-duplicate-detection/ - it's quite technical stuff - but this is the part which might interest you: "This leads to one of the questions we get asked a lot: Why do I see duplicate content warnings in the context of Custom Crawl for pages that I see as different. Ultimately, it’s always because of the same reason: because no dechroming is done, there is a small amount of unique content relative to the total content. One of the places where this crops up a lot is web stores, where there’s a large amount of chrome layout, but only a short product description associated with it." Dechroming : removing things like navigation, footer, ..etc from the page (exact def. to be found in the article) If you compare both pages - apart from the image & product title there isn't too much difference between them so the crawler sees only a very small % of content which is different and marks them as duplicates. Dirk

Thanks. I will just go with 301 and see how it turns out.

Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here. Yes, you can add/delete/change the competitors associated with your Campaign any time by clicking into the Campaign Settings section and scrolling down a bit. Here's a screenshot of where to find that section: http://screencast.com/t/cvqhQmcd Please note that once you've added new competitors to your existing campaign, information won't start tracking on those new competitors until your next weekly campaign refresh occurs. I hope this helps, but please let me know if there's anything else I can assist with. And, as always, you can reach out to our team with any product questions in the future by sending a note to help@moz.com Have a great day! -Kristina

Can you clarify what you're concerned about for 301 redirects in terms of link juice? 301 redirects don't carry as much link juice as a direct link, but it doesn't impact correct links, just the links that, otherwise, wouldn't get link juice to your end destination at all. (Though, if your canonical is working correctly, it'll pass the same amount of link juice as a 301 redirect.) Dr. Pete goes into this a bit more over here: https://moz.com/community/q/do-canonical-tags-pass-all-of-the-link-juice-onto-the-url-they-point-to

Did you decide on a platform yet?  this was posted months ago, and was curious to your decision.  Other mozers are recommending Shopify.  I"m a WP girl myself, so I lean that way.  Just curious as to the final verdict.

Well it's quite difficult to judge the quality of the content as I don't understand what is written on the page. What I did notice is that each time I clicked on a link a new tab which advertising (https://trafficnado.com...) was openend (without me requesting it) or that a pop-up was blocked. Google does consider this to be quite spammy techniques, so could be the cause why this page has suddenly disappeared from the results. Not sure about the content - seems you are streaming series. Are you the copyright holder for these ? If not, this could also be the reason why your site did disappear from the results (DMCA complaint) Dirk

I think you would generally approach this the same way you'd approach any subjective research, which is heavy on asking questions on a survey. You could research traditional qualitative research processes to learn more about how they're conducted. You'd be surprised by the emotions that can be hiding in an otherwise 'boring' purchase like a boiler, however. If it's the middle of winter in Chicago and snowing outside on a Tuesday night and your boiler goes out and you have a baby crying in the house and a dog that needs to get walked - I can guarantee you're feeling a ton of emotions (frustration, anxiety, stress) when you open your phone, google "chicago 24/7 furnace repair" and finally get somebody on the phone to come out that night and fix it. Even in a B2B purchase, there are emotions and motivations that are hidden under the surface, such as picking the more expensive furnace repair vendor that has a better reputation because you need to use up your end of year budget in order to keep it for next year, and you can always justify the choice based upon their reputation or even just a Yelp score. SO - the hard part is capturing that emotion on a survey form or getting an authentic customer response shortly after purchase, or getting somebody to be truthful with you about these motivations that may be embarrassing or incriminating or whatever. I think you're best off doing some research on general emotions, and then creating a list of all of the considerations that go into purchasing your product (free shipping? good warranty? website looks trustworthy? my wife will like the color? etc.). Once you have each of those lists, brainstorm how various emotions will factor into each of the purchase considerations, and how it will change depending on your type of customer (b2b vs b2c, enterprise vs SMB, senior exec vs intern, etc.). This may yield a lot of ideas, or not many at all, depending on the nature of what you're selling. I think once you complete this inventory across each product, each customer type, each purchase consideration, and each emotion - you'll have a pretty darn good idea of how emotions can be factored into your marketing program, such as how to adjust the copy on your product/service pages, and how to create entertaining or educational content that reflects these emotions. Hopefully that helps, but let me know if I can assist further!

Nope, still not working! Quite a pain to be honest.

I have included the URL to a tool called "Ad Preview" by Google. It allows you to preview the SERP and put in these input parameters - Location, Language and Device. If you want to simulate different areas, you just put in a different location. Putting in the location "United States" should give you the most reliable data for your queries. You will be able to see the snack-pack in the SERP and it will be simulated for the location you gave. https://adwords.google.com/apt/anon/AdPreview
