Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks. The option under settings actually hasn't been visible for me for months, but I just checked again and it allowed me to make the change.

Great article on your wiredseo.com site Clint! That about saved my life.

This has to do with Click Thru Rates (as well as visitor performance metrics once a user lands on the page) and what Google thinks serves as a better Title. In a nutshell, Google is providing a better page title for you.  For you, this means create a better page title.  Look at your search queries in Google Webmaster Tools.  Look at your particular landing page and notice the differences the main search impression keyword phrases and the Page Titles that Google ends up delivering in search results. Use this to your advantage to optimize click thru rates.  It's likely that they think your brand name so much coincides w/ your product, that you may be better off using it in the front of the Title, instead of at the end. Hard to say w/out knowing more specifics, but we're about to publish a piece on this topic regarding leveraging Page Titles for increases in click through rates -- one of the main problems is the fact that Google keeps modifying them.   Turns out, that's a good thing though!

1. It could certainly impact the number of pages indexed. Have you explored to see what those pages might be? 2. It could also impact your search rankings in a number of ways. Care to share the domain?

From what I am picking up, you are only offering translations. Be careful not to associate one language with one country when it comes to the major world languages like French and Spanish that are spoken in a number of countries. Therefore I highly recommend removing those flags and bringing a language menu up to the top. I am happy to hear you are changing from ccTLDs to another solution. ccTLDs are only meant for content targeted at one country. If you are doing translations, then Spanish would need multiple ccTLDs (example Mexico and Spain) and then the content would be duplicated across those sites unless something else changed about your offering on those country sites. Anyway, I am babbling. You are headed down the right path. Remove those flags and have a language menu up top.

Hey Jay! My name is David Black and I'm the Director of Customer Success here at SEMrush. I see you mentioned our service so I wanted to throw this out there... have you tried the new SEO Ideas tool within our Projects Suite? I would really encourage you to try it if you haven't already. Essentially, we're doing exactly as you described. Based off of the SERPs collected within your Position Tracking campaign, we scan the content of the pages that rank within the top 10 for your target keywords and pull together a list of related keyword suggestions found on these pages and analyze how frequently they use them. This is going to help enrich your own content or find new opportunities. It also pulls together ideas for backlinks and onsite optimization. The best part is that it does it on the fly as opposed to our regular keyword analytics reports. It's pretty awesome. You can check out an article from our User Manual that should help you get started - http://www.semrush.com/manual/what-is-seo-ideas/ I hope this helps!

Hey Radi, The link metrics section of your campaign pulls from our Mozscape index, which updates about once a month. Most new sites and links will be indexed by our spiders and available in Mozscape and Open Site Explorer within 60 days, but some take even longer for a variety of reasons, including the crawl-ability of sites, the amount of inbound links to them, and the depth of pages in subdirectories. Just so you know, here's how we compile our index: We grab the most recent index We take the top 10 billion URLs with the highest MozRank (with a fixed limit on some of the larger domains) We start crawling from the top down until we've crawled 180,000,000,000 pages (which is about 35% the amount in Google's index) Therefore, if the site is not linked to by one of these seed URLs (or one of the URLs linked to by them in the next update), then it won't show up in our index. We update our Mozscape Index every 4-8 weeks. Crawling the entire Internet to look for links takes ~2-4 weeks, but our crawlers are always collecting data. When we need to put the index together, we grab all the data they have collected and start processing, which can take up to 3 weeks to determine which of those links are the most important. Mozscape focuses on a breadth-first approach. This means that we almost always have content from the homepage of websites, externally linked-to pages, and pages higher up in a site's information hierarchy. But deep pages that are buried beneath many layers of navigation are sometimes missed and it may be several index updates until we catch all of these. If our crawlers or data sources are blocked from reaching those URLs, they may not be included in our index (though links that point to those pages will still be available). Finally, the URLs seen by Mozscape must be linked to by other documents on the web, or our index will not include them. I hope this information helps! While the site and links may not be indexed yet, give it some time - maybe we'll see them in OSE next month!

So sorry for the lack of response, Jay. I think it's fair to say that no one is aware of a tool that meets those needs.

Interesting. Literally none of the crawler tools I've just tried using give me anything more than a 404 for your  home page and that's where they stop. I can see the 301 from the non-www version so the domain itself is crawlable - I'm wondering if maybe it's a htaccess issue? The best I can work out from the outside is that something is wrong with your htaccess file, maybe it's pointing to an invalid path and this is generating the 404. Since the site currently just gives a soft 404, taking users to a page that looks like the homepage, it may be that what actually happens when you go to www.schoppnutritionclinic.com is that you're being handed the soft-404 and just thinking it's your home page. It's impossible to test further without access to these things but hopefully this points you in the right direction. I'd be interested to see the outcome here regardless; it's bugging me now!

Hi Oleg & Chris, Thanks for the answers. This is exactly what I've been thinking, but wanted to sanity check it... just to make sure I wasn't just having an initial negative reaction to someone else's idea. Best... Mike

Hi Rodrigo, Ah I didn't realise we're using XLST so you're not seeing the source code but only the marked up versions for the stye sheets. I would recommend to check the source code of this URL for example: http://thenextweb.com/post-sitemap71.xml it will show you the image:loc tags for almost every URL.

Hope this helps : https://developers.google.com/app-indexing/introduction?hl=en

To add to Bryan's advice, I just wanted to clarify how we count things as duplicates. Our tool has a 90% tolerance for duplicate content, which means it will flag any content that has 90% of the same code between pages. This includes all the source code on the page and not just the viewable text, so often it's a matter of finding the best answer for resolving the specific type of pages being marked as duplicates. There are more in-depth explanations of common answers to duplicate content on this page, if you're curious!: https://moz.com/learn/seo/duplicate-content

All of them except Ahrefs comes with "free" versions and you can export almost everything.

Cheers for the heads up. To be fair it does make sense to have it as a seperate element, much like the knowledge graph panel which despite being in prime location is not really part of the serps. Cheers for this and will look forward to the new tweet serp feature coming soon.

Thanks for your quick response and your recommendations!
