Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Javier, thanks for your question! There isn't a feature to export the default dashboard as-is. You can, however, create a Custom Report that is every bit as visual as the one in the dashboard.

To get started, go to your dashboard. Click on the "Custom Reports" button, located underneath the main navigation bar on the RH side of the page. Then follow the directions to create your report using the easy-peasy, drag and drop interface. You can make the report look like your dashboard, or you can customize it to your heart is content.

When you've finished putting the report together, you will be given the option to print a PDF. After you create your PDF, you can then schedule the report to be automatically generated and emailed to you on the schedule that works best for you. Voila!

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have questions.

Just is correct that the primary purpose of alt text  to assist the visually impaired. Therefore, you should provide descriptive, concise alt text for every relevant image. So no, do not place hyphen between every word. You can (and should) use hyphens, accent marks, etc. for words that need them in alt text.

For non relevant, redundant images such as bullets and purely decorate images, you should use null alt text (alt=""). This will signal the screen reader to skip over the image.

Hope that helps! (Christy)

Hi David,

Great question! Peter and Mat both make good points. A few more things:

1. You can also tell that the Natureflex is a business page, vs personal timeline, as it has a like button, does not have a birth date (nor other personal information), has an option to share the page with your friends, has a link to suggest an edit to the page "about" information, and shows the number of likes.

2. It is against Facebook's TOS to create two personal Facebook Timelines. I know several people who have done this (one for business contacts, and the other for personal friends only.) Their accounts could be shut down at any time. The thing is, what they could easily do that is within Facebook's TOS is convert one of those Timelines to a Page with their personal name on it. If you create a new Facebook Page to represent one of your clients as an individual person (vs. brand/product, etc.), choose "Artist, Band, or Public Figure." When you go to create a new Page, you have a variety of options to choose from. This is the one to choose if you are creating a Page for any individual person (even if they are not technically an artist, band, or public figure.) When you select this option, you'll have a long list of categories to choose from, including "Business Person."  See Rand Fishkin's page as an example.

3. Here is some more information about Facebook Pages that you may find useful.

Please let us know if we have answered your question, and how you get on.

Cheers,
Christy

I second what EGOL said, Ed! high-fives

Hi Joni,

Thanks for the update. It looks like you can do this. Unfortunately, the catch is that you have to take action within 14 days of linking your YouTube account to Google+ (see https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/3056283?hl=en&ref_topic=3097177). As you said, Google+ is constantly making changes, and you are certainly not the only person out there with this problem. In the meantime, I would contact Google about your situation via the form on this page - https://support.google.com/youtube/contact/ytgplus. Make sure to use the email address associated with your YouTube account, and please keep us posted. Best of luck!

Hi there, the rel="author" tag does not show up anywhere in the HTML for this page. There is good news, though. If you go back to the GWT rich snippets testing tool and input your author's Google ID, you will see that Authorship has been established for this page using the verified email method.

Hi there, I'm sorry to hear that. Good news, though: your campaigns should have been archived when you had the issue with your credit card. If so, you can simply reactivate them. To do this, navigate to http://pro.moz.com/campaigns and click on "Archived Campaigns" in the sub-menu. Then click the button labeled "Activate" next to each campaign in the list. Did that work?

If not, please send an email to help@moz.com to open a new help request ticket. Best of luck! (Christy)

Hi there! In addition to the responses above, I'd also recommend checking out the Yoast plugin. On a brand new blog, I recommend noindexing the category pages until a good amount of content is built up in each category, including unique content on each category landing page. You may find this post by Dan Shure helpful: http://moz.com/blog/setup-wordpress-for-seo-success. Best of luck!

Yes, page load time is a ranking factor. Optimizing pages so they load quickly is listed as a best practice in Google's Webmaster Guidelines. So yes, increased page load load time may decrease rankings. It should definitely decrease traffic. Eight seconds is a looong time these days to wait for a page to load! Have you seen any changes in the SERPs since making these changes?

On the positive side, you must have some fantastic content if users are willing to wait that long for a page to load -- and stay on it for over half an hour I am curious, are you having a lot of repeat traffic?

No, bounce rates do not affect rankings. Matt Cutts has said that if a user visits only one page on a site and finds the information they need, this is a positive user experience. High bounce rates aren't positive for every site, don't get me wrong. If you have an ecommerce site for shoes and you have a very high bounce rate, meaning customers aren't browsing your offerings, writing reviews, and going through checkout, you aren't likely selling very many shoes on the site. The bounce rate is measured in GA to give you the information you need to analyze your site performance in this regard, not for the purpose of ranking your site.

Increased time on page correlates with increased user engagement. Users engage with, and engage longer, with quality content. Or at least highly entertaining content While it is not as clear-cut as to weather this is a ranking factor as is the case for page load time, Google is measuring it and they are all about rewarding websites that provide a great user experience, right?

Hi Eric,

You've received some great responses here! All are spot-on (as far as one can be answering this question at this time, that is.) You may also be interested to know that Dr. Pete has answered this question here in the forum at http://moz.com/community/q/google-s-mobile-update-what-we-know-so-far-updated-3-25. He actually posted a Q&A of common questions about the mobile update, taking new questions in the discussion thread, and updating the original Q&A post as new information becomes available.

I second Dirk's recommendation for Google Academy. I would definitely master the first two lessons in order, which will give you the skills you need to get started tracking the performance of your own website, and make use of the supplemental forums and videos for each course. Self-study is available year-round, and group study, facilitated by a Google staffer, is held a few times a year.

When I first started working with Google Analytics 7 or 8 years ago, I thought that Google Analytics was fairly intuitive, and most people could dive into it head-first (trial and error style.) However, I would not recommend anyone just getting started with GA today take that route.

Great video, Matt! I hope there will be more to come.

Hi there, thanks for your question! As the companies otherwise operate independently and it doesn't make sense to to cross-market the products under an umbrella brand, I would build out each company's website on its own domain.

Hi Cory - Thanks so much for the feedback! I totally agree with everything you say here. While all of your great suggestions are already on our to-do list for making big improvements to the forum, it is very helpful to know you'd like to see a lot of the same changes we're working on.

Christy

Good question, Dave! Crawl Test will eventually be integrated into Moz Analytics. In the meantime, you can use Crawl test here: http://mz.cm/16nn81v.

The only thing they are good for is letting the competition know what keywords you are targeting on your pages. So, assuming you aren't using meta keyword tags yourself, you are doing the best thing for your site here, and now know where to look for a bit of competitive intelligence.

Hi Boodreaux,

Did you see Linda and Andrea's requests for clarification above? Please give us more details about this site (URL if possible) so we can help. Thanks!

Christy

Hi there, has your question been answered?

Hi there, and welcome to the forum! Are you actually going to operate the location at 2731 Interstate St. using the new name -- or are you asking if it is a good idea to list what is essential the same business with this new name and address in order to get an addition map listing with Google My Business?

Keep in mind that your Google My Business listing(s) should mirror your business' real-world name, the one you are known to customers both online and offline (including storefront signage, your website, and all printed materials).

Happy to help, Romeo. And I definitely agree with your comment on the new Moz site. It is good-looking, easy to use, and FAST!
