Welcome to the Q&A Forum

This will still get you hit with a duplicate content penalty. Each page needs to have unique content on it, if you are trying to target different locations.

I once worked for what could be described as a "holding company" that's in the Fortune 500. Because everything they owned was so diverse, they either kept separate branches or the companies/brands separate. Especially if the brand was worth money as a name. It's important to do the research on how valuable the brand itself is because even if you decide to have one company to rule them all, you need to figure out how to transition customers.

Definitely check out our Ranking Factors survey. 

As far as Accessibility, many good practices such as providing transcripts for videos and alt text for images are just good SEO too.

I'd also check out BuiltVisible's Schema Guide.

This is definitely not from us. We also obey crawling curtsy, so we wouldn't slam a site all at once. Read more about our crawl bot.

The page grader will give you a bad grade if you keyword stuff.

Hey Andy,

This is a great suggestion! We're deeply aware that our Q&A system has some not so friendly quirks. We're actually currently on the hunt for a new platform solution/backend to host our Q&A forum on, and we'll definitely add this to our list of features that we'd like to have.

Thanks for being an active Q&Aer. And sorry about any troubles and frustration.

Google can, for the most part, tell the difference between product pages, blogs, etc. With answer boxes, they are looking for the best and easiest answer to the query and they don't really care that it's a services page, not a product page. In most cases, a page that doesn't sell anything is going to be better for Google since they are making any money off that sale and the whole idea of the answer box is that you never leave Google because you got your answer.

Hey everyone!

We are looking for new ideas for some upcoming webinars here at SEOmoz.  If you have any ideas please let us know!  Ideas can be big or small as we are looking to expand these webinars into a variety of areas and niches.

Additionally, we are also looking for speakers to give them. I'd love to find people that are amazing, but haven't had the audience before. Please keep in mind, we're aware of all the big SEO names, so no one needs to suggest Matt Cutts

Thanks!

I also highly recommend our Beginner's Guide to Link Building. Tons of useful and helpful information there!

The MozCon videos will be up in 1-2 months as we're processing the videos and making the site ready for them. All MozCon attendees will get an email about their access and will have automatic access since they were included in the price of a MozCon ticket. We'll definitely send out other emails and make a blog post announcing them, so folks who are buying them won't miss them.

Yes, you can use Screaming Frog. It always shows you the status code on all the pages, which you can then sort based on it and find anything not labeled as a 301.

Hey Q&A friends,

I know a lot of you have questions about semantic search and Google's Hummingbird, so for this Tuesday's free Mozinar (10/21), we're having the amazing Gianluca Fiorelli on to teach you and answer all your questions.

You can register for free here: https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/468375870

We do record all these webinars, so if you can't make it, you'll be able to find it in our past webinars within 48 hours post-Mozinar.

See you there!

The ones saying it's long are including the site name. So in the WP plug-in, you're only typing in your title -- Best Blog Post Ever -- but how it's displayed is -- Best Blog Post Ever | Example.com -- and that's what the SEOmoz tool is picking up as your entire title tag.

To answer your questions:

Yes, we are rolling PRO users into the beta slowly. We expect all PROs to have access to Moz Analytics by the second week in September at the latest. You'll be able to toggle between PRO and Moz Analytics as you get used to it. (One feature we haven't finished porting is custom reports, and you'll definitely be able to still access PRO to grab those.) When you have access, you'll get an email inviting you to try it, and when you log-in into our site to use the tools, there will be an in-app message also telling you that you have access. So it will be very apparent if you have access.

Yes, the Search section mostly has features that are the same as the current PRO application. The new features include more traffic data, an entire brand and mentions section (a lot based on Fresh Web Explorer data, but in more regular way), some retuning of the social tools, a much better UX/UI experience, more integration with Help documentation if you get stuck, and a main dashboard that provides a "health" type overview that we hope you can show off to clients/boss/etc who don't say care about granular inbound marketing work.

It's most likely to hurt you from a perspective of low-quality content, which a lot of retail sites get dinged with. In an ideal world, having size as option to choose and only one product page is best with information about all sizes on that page. However, Matt's canonical suggestion also works as a bandaid.

Traffic, yes, SEO, no. Search engines cannot "read" videos very well, unless you have a very robust video sitemap, which each of these sites like ABC news, also uses. (It's unlikely they'd do that.)

It's really hard to say without information about your company and the competitor that you're concerned about. My suspicion would be that the ranking has to do with how Facebook judges the pages, not Google.

Are you talking about your domain? And how hard it would actually be for you to rank? It definitely factors in the DA from the ranking domains.

"Your Keyword Difficulty Score is based on the Domain Authority and Page authority for the top 20 search results that keyword is pulling on Google. These sites are analyzed using our Mozscape index to pull Page Authority and Domain Authority. These two metrics (along with a host of others from the Mozscape index) help create the Keyword Difficulty score." from the FAQ about KWD.

So we have a special sign up page for people being referred from MailChimp or our other partners, which MailChimp should've sent to you. Since you already signed up for the 30-day free trial, someone from our support team will be in here soon to adjust your account to match the MailChimp promo.

Thanks!
