False 5xx Errors for ColdFusion website
Unlike 3XX (301, 302 etc) or 4XX (404 etc) errors, 5XX errors are actually highly variable and relate to server errors. A page can give a 5XX error one second and then in a few seconds, return a full page instead. If you encounter high volumes of 'false-positive' 5XX or 0 (time out) errors, it's usually a sign that at a certain time your server is under strain and Moz is crawling it a bit too quickly (thus resulting in false positive 5XX errors) This could be if Moz decides to crawl your sit too quickly at peak operating time, or if Moz crawls your site when it's running something like a cron job (assuming that the job is handled by the same server which is handling your web requests). There can be many other reasons for 5XX false positives, but this is the most common You can delay Moz's crawl bot (rogerbot) from crawling your site too frequently: https://moz.com/help/moz-procedures/crawlers/rogerbot See if that helps. Keep in mind the change won't be instant, it may take a few weeks for it to be processed effectively. We had to do this recently for a client's site which was bound to a ridiculously weak hosting environ Hope that helps!

Can MOZ keyword explorer output sentences instead keywords?
Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here. Unfortunately, no, Keyword Explorer can't output entire sentences instead of keywords. You can use it to check for keyword metrics or to see what keywords a site already ranks for, but there's no way to use the tool to optimize for sentences. You may be thinking of our Page Optimization tool, but we don't have anything that is specific to the Knowledge Graph (OG) element. Sorry about that! If you still have questions or if there's anything that needs clarifying, feel free to drop us a line at help@moz.com and we'll do our best to answer all your questions.

SERP with no "www"
As Jeff mentioned, it could very well be Google running a test - they run small tests like this quite often.

Has anyone heard about "Vocus Marketing Suite"?
I am in the middle of negotiating with Vocus and think I will tell them I only want access to the PR Web press releases too. All of the other stuff just seems like "fluff" that can be accessed from many other places for a fraction of the cost.

Google Places have been entirely replaced by new Google+
I also think it's a strategic way for Google to push G+ when there's been a significant drop off of engagement. People sign up but don't use it often/regularly (I mean, most people) so this is a good way to give rationale and expand beyond the original "Facebook killer" assumption.

Shall I fix "most Common Errors" for a website that ranked top 3 on Google (difficult KW)?
Hi although you may be a little reluctant to make changes to a site which is performing well I would take some direction from the error report. It will help. You may find that you start ranking better for main keywords and also start picking up some other keywords also. Too many links; this is not always straightforward if you are an ecommerce site, though if your links are in footer and for seo purposes it may be worth deciding which are important. 302 redirect. Google prefer 301 permanent redirects Title tag too long. This may be a good exercise in that perhaps your title tags are not as well optimised as they might be, not only for SEO purposes but also for human consumption because this is what is bolded inorganic results. A good title tag will increase click through, therefore it could be the case that lower ranking competitors with better title tags are actually getting more visits from organic. Meta description. The same advice here. You should have a unique meta description for all your important pages. This is what will appear in the organic results snippet and again better meta descriptions achieve more traffic. Sean
