Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Jen,

thank you for responding... I'll give it a try.

Does this mean that my personal stuff can be kept separate from the business stuff I do with it?

Thank you again,

Amelia

I've read the guideline at health.moz.com on this issue and all it says is to reconnect the account, which is what I've already been doing.

It says that the error message is incorrect and that the tool is still collecting data, but I don't think it is. I guess I'll wait and see what happens once this has been fixed. Thank you Christy for taking the time to answer the question.

Hi Christy,

Thank you for getting back to me. I've only just checked back today, so am about to try your instructions. I'll post back when I've done it.

Thanks again,

Amelia

It's really annoying! I've had problems ever since it switched over to Moz Analytics. Only just got around to shouting about it though...

Come on Moz - it's not just me with this error!!!

Where can I do this? Moz seems to automatically link to my personal page even though I am signed in as manager of the company page.

Thank you for helping - it's really kind of you

I was going to suggest Screaming Frog too. There's also Xenu if you want a free tool but IMHO it isn't nearly as good as screaming frog.

Hi,

As a company we have finally begun to embrace Google+!!!

All guest bloggers have their own Google+ account. These accounts are personal to the owner and do not belong to the company. We use them for our own personal use as I imagine Google wants us to do. We also use these accounts to share blog posts and for the rel=authorship tag.

For the company we have set up a Google+ business page, where again we share blog posts etc. I want to connect the business page to Moz because the personal profiles are personal. Is this possible? If it isn't possible at the moment, would you consider making it available?

Thank you,

Amelia

Hi,

Every time I log back in to Moz my Google analytics connection breaks. I have to reconnect it every time I want to look at something.

Thanks,

Amelia

Hello,

I've done this. It had absolutely no impact on our listings. I did exactly what you are suggesting to do.

I'm not saying it'll have no impact for YOU because I don't know that, but it didn't impact me so is likely not to impact you too. If that makes sense!!!

All the best,

Amelia

Hi Nicholas,

Option 2 is better because the hyphens actually separate words, and so robots (like Googlebot) read them as individual words rather than alloneword.

Matt Cutts video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQcSFsQyct8 on underscores vs. hyphens (not quite your question, but it appears that underscores are 'read' by Google in the same way as your first example.

All the best,

Amelia

Hi Chiaryn,

Thank you so much for sorting out the problem with the reports.

It looks like the reports are now populated, so I think you must have fixed whatever the problem was.

All the best,

Amelia

PS Happy Halloween!

Good idea.

I don't know of any 'magic' ratio, but surely you should put nofollow on all user generated links? That's kinda what it was invented for. Normal links (or 'follow' if you will) should be used for linking out to sites you can personally recommend to your visitors - either the sites offer additional insights that your content cannot or doesn't cover, or it corroborates what you're saying (e.g. linking to a government resource or wikipedia).

Does that make sense?

Good call George.

Hi Luke,

Use the canonical tag. Some info from Google here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139394?hl=en

Good luck!

Hi Josh,

I'm doing a similar thing - not exactly the same as we are merging 2 websites into one and then just for the fun of it putting the whole lot onto a new domain...

We've not done this yet as our new site is being built. Anyway, I found this webinar really useful: http://moz.com/webinars/domain-migrations-lessons-from-the-moz-transition and this blog post: http://moz.com/blog/domain-migration-lessons

I hope they help!

All the best,

Amelia

Hi Chiaryn - Thank you, I'll take a look tomorrow morning - I've had one of 'those' days and not quite got the time right at this moment.

Thank you again for helping me.

Amelia

Thanks Chiaryn!

The charity stuff was just a 'top of the head' idea.... Sorry it won't work for you.

You must have something worth telling the world? It doesn't have to be about charity - that was just the first thing that popped into my head. What about sharing something juicy that no-one else in your niche would dare share or has access to? Not saying you should give away too much, but there may be mileage in this. Or, you could do a survey and publish the results (with PR drive to get links from newspapers).

There are loads of ways of getting in the news! You just have to be creative. I suggest you have a brain-storming meeting with your team to try and get a strategy in place.

Best of luck,

Amelia
