Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I agree! In case of noindex, nofollow tag you are telling Google not to count it!

If you set up the ad in Google Adwords you can just change it in the settings of the ad. https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2404246?hl=en-GB Otherwise if you don't have access to change the ad url or you are using a different way to advertise, the best way I can think to do this would be a 301 redirect. If you have access to the .htaccess file in the root domain its a fairly simple process to do but be careful when you edit the .htaccess file as you can very easily stop your site from working with some incorrect code. You would do it by adding the below bit of code to your .htaccess file: Redirect 301 /oldpagename /newpagename You can read more here: http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/frequently-asked-question/how-can-i-do-a-301-redirect

This could be an outlier, but easy to check.  Use a browser plugin and set the useragent to Googlebot. Browse your site.  See if it is displaying anything funky.  I have seen sites hacked so that when Googlebot is the agent, they show links to viagra type sites.  I would otherwise agree that you need to become friends with the disavow tool asap.

Thanks Jo but there has already been an update since I started this thread. I wonder if UK sites get indexed less frequently in these updates. Thanks Neil

I've never read or heard of there being any hard evidence that it wouldn't affect your social signal. It should have the same effect as it would come through on your Analytics as a Social visit. Almost everyone uses link shortener services now so I would be very surprised if it had a negative effect. As for the description its good practice to get into the habit of writing new fresh descriptions and content for your posts, this will encourage more engagement with the post. Especially if you re-post the topic a couple of times, people will get bored if you just copy and paste the same text each time.

Hi, I'm completely agree with Andy because if a spammy link is nofollow then there is no reason to worry. "When a link is disavowed, the next time that Google crawls that link they essentially add an invisible nofollow tag to the link."

Yeah sequence of load is also important when its time to go granular to find the true opportunities. Because the up-front evaluation time that can identify issues, can often result in faster-easier-more template-driven ways to speed up everything on a larger scale with less effort needed. That doesn't mean its okay to ignore other bottlenecks.  Just that the more clarity of understanding, the more likely real, sustainable success can be achieved.

Excellent news - glad it has all returned -Andy

You can definitely leave it as it is, it probably won't influence much. It's more additional information that could help you in the long run but it won't harm you.

Hi Andi! I'm not so sure the division of DA across pages on a domain is that cut-and-dry. It's not some finite material that can only be divided among so many pages, and a page's Page Authority can differ from its domain's Domain authority radically. Remember, also, that Domain Authority is a proprietary Moz metric measuring, primarily, a domain's overall link strength. It _approximates _Google's ranking algorithm, but it doesn't nail it exactly. In addition, the lack of backlinks to that page in Open Site Explorer doesn't mean that page has no backlinks. For a dynamically-generated page like that it's much more likely that OSE simply hasn't seen it. Remember, OSE doesn't necessarily crawl every page on a site, and that's especially true for particularly deep pages. Frankly, I would expect that the page on the larger site with DA 94 would do better than a page on a smaller site with DA 50. The DA 94 implies a much stronger site.

Hey Cindy! This is Michael on the Moz Help Team! You can absolutely set up a second idential campaign with different competitors for prupose of tracking 6. This is actually the recommend workaround for our campaign limitation of tracking 3 competitors. Keep in mind that the 2 campaigns will most likely not update at the same exact time, but if you remember the day of the week that you setup the origianl campaign, you'll want setup the second campaign on the same day to keep their data gathering in sync. I hope this helps! If you need more details guidance on moving forward with this option in your account, feel free to reach out to us at help@moz.com. Our Q&A forum is a great place to get some quality answers to your queries, but help tickets can help ensure the privacy of your account details. Cheers!

Hi Carmen, Thans for the response. No, I'd like to target french in france, fr-FR. That for french, but for english i just want to target the language and not the country, just /en/. So, I'd like to know if i can follow different strategies in webmaster tools, targeting country for /fr/ subdomain and language for /en/ subdomain. Thanks!

Hey Michael! Very good and creative tips from Moosa and Umar about trying to track this down, so I'll just respond to the part of your question dealing with what to tell clients. 100% consistency may not be a realistic goal for any business, precisely because of a scenario like yours in which old or bad data ends up on a directory you just can get connected up with. In such cases, judging the overall importance of the directory in question becomes key. If the directory is ranking in the top few pages for your client's name, then incorrect NAP there warrants making every possible effort toward resolution. But, if it's an obscure result, make normal efforts and then let it go at that if you can't find any way to correct it. Document your work for clients and pre-set expectations that you are shooting for high consistency, but not perfect consistency. Some of the smartest citation building experts I know have told me that 100% consistency is not only frequently impossible, but not even actually essential. Hope this helps!

Thanks, Alan. That helps!

Hello! I apologize for the issues you are experiencing with MozBar in Firefox. Mozilla is not accepting our updates to the tool and may not for a while so we are unable to deploy updates at this time. The Chrome version is the latest one and will be able to provide you with the SERP overlay and more. Hope this helps!

Hi Derek, You're totally fine using Schema any place you have your complete NAP. For the rest of your questions, I think you're going to absolutely love this Phil Rozek post, which digs deep into which elements to use: http://www.localvisibilitysystem.com/2014/06/30/how-to-pick-or-improvise-the-right-schema-org-markup-for-your-local-business/ Hope that hits the spot!

Did anyone ever come up with an answer?  The site is set for 301 Redirects but Moz show hundreds of 302s.. mostly Wishlist and compare related (Magento version 1.9.2)
