Just signed up for Moz Local. Filled in all of the information. My score dropped a bunch of points and my Facebook as -100% now...WTF? PLEASE HELP!
Duly noted! In the case of the Facebook page, it looks like it's not being included in your Moz Local listing because the name on the page isn't a match to the Google+ page which was used to validate your listing. If you were able to change the Facebook name from Detroit Deluxe to Detroit Deluxe Paint Body and Car Restoration, then you should see it included within your listing report. I'm sorry that you're feeling frustrated with the process. As far as the functionality of the system goes, the general timeframe for updating listings can occur in as little as a day or so, but some of our partners can take up to 8-12 weeks to be fully updated.

Showing more Duplicate Title Tags Than WMT
That is likely the cause of the discrepancy, although Moz Analytics crawls can be deeper than Google, unearthing more data than Google has gotten to yet. That being said, I would be hesitant to rely on the canonical tag so much. I did a cursory crawl on your site and found that roughly 20% of the first 800 URLs crawled were duplicates (albeit with the canonical tag). You could potentially eat up your crawl budget from Google if most of the new URLs it is finding are duplicates. While you won't have problems with PageRank dispersion or duplicate content, per se, you will get a shallower crawl of your site. Google isn't going to keep digging if it keeps unearthing the same stuff. You might want to consider using robots.txt to simply block some of the sections like the /catalog/product/view/ directory if it isn't driving organic traffic and is a source of a good deal of your canonicalized duplicates. Hope that helps!

How to force moz to crawl my backlinks?
Hi Well - given the troubles Moz has to build the regular index in the past months I doubt they will add this feature anywhere soon. Don't forget that DA & Trust is an internal metric of Moz - which tries to predict how well your site will rank in the SERP's. As all tools, it is just an estimate of the real thing. Dirk

Meta Robots index & noindex Both Implemented on Website
Difficult to tell how long it will take before it's completely removed (Google is never very clear on how long it takes). If it's urgent you could use the url removal tool :https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en Dirk

MOZ should add a toxic link checker tool to their incredible arsenal of SEO tools. Seems like a no brainer.
I have used link detox they are very good at what they do. The main differences are link detox uses majestic for their back link discovery. Moz uses Open site explorer If you want my opinion you need to have Moz , Ahrefs, Majestic & Google Webmaster tools. Moz is spectacular and critical to what you're doing. I would make a disavow file from all the tools goi I have had the best luck with removeem.com allows you to combine all of them together and I would recommend checking them out. I hope this helps.

Should you delete old blog posts for SEO purposes?
for the original poster - what did you end up doing - and did it make a difference?? (and) similar question but different... If suddenly some 90% of a 5,000 page blog is changed to have the blog pages no-indexed, will the linkjuice be now more concentrated on the remaining 10%? in the old days, we sort-of-called this "pagerank sculpting" and the idea was to focus the linkjuce on certain pages and defocus it on other pages. does this make a difference these days?? keep in mind that the 4,500 remaining pages are still followed, and all backlinks remain in place. will the site start ranking better for the keywords on the 500 indexed pages? tia!!

Thin Content, Ecommerce & Reviews
Hi Everett Yep, that all definitely makes sense. Sometimes with the more mundane products it's hard to make them stand out. We do include most of this information but I'l review whether there;s anything we could add. Thanks again
