Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Your internet and/or router is down..? Yeah I'd power-cycle the router and modem and try again. Or contact your cable company.

No offense but this is one of the weirdest Q&A posts I've seen here. I'm having a weird morning though so it totally fits.

Well as per which method is "better," see my last response to AWCthreads above. They both do pretty much the same thing but which is better depends on if you want localized results or not. For certain keywords this won't make a difference of course.

As for what's causing your problem, I'm not sure. I haven't even thought or looked into this, but is there a chance that since you're in the UK the moz keywords are pulling US google rankings? Or is there an option when setting up your campaign to specify browser location? I would assume there is as the moz team would think of this but just thought I'd ask as I'm totally unaware.

Are you referring to the campaign level reports only? Have you tried using the instantaneous rank tracker? http://moz.com/researchtools/rank-tracker

See what that reports as it will be the most current and up-to-date. Perhaps there was a funny flux/carousel thing happening when the moz crawl happened. I've seen a few of my keywords report <50 in the past when I know they're more like 8 or 9 and the next week they're more accurate. Sometimes moz even sends out an "oops we adjusted your campaign crawl a bit" message.. Or maybe that was a dream.

Let me know what you think... Hope I can help.

Yeah and that's how you do it in IIS... Trust me I did this recently.

You create a site, say - domain.com (if you already have www.domain.com)

go into properties of domain.com and set the "A redirection to a URL" tab to www.domain.com, check permanent, and then it will send all requests to domain.com over to www.domain.com

Seriously that's the easiest way to do it I did these exact steps about 2 months ago and our site redirects perfectly, all pages. (setting the canonical version is setting a redirect in this scenario)

Yes, they rolled it out a month ago. http://searchengineland.com/google-hummingbird-172816

I think the consensus is nothing much has changed on our end. That's certainly what I'm seeing.

This is more of a their-end overhaul from what I understand.

Wait are you saying this is just for your clients' sites? You can access other sites just fine? That's how you posted this question?

Sorry i'm confused.

Hi Carla,

I'm not a Moz Associate, but check out this URL for your answer: https://moz.com/researchtools/crawl-test

I agree with Mike, although I think you'll find that using a tool like ranks.nl will give you an idea if you've gone too heavy with one or the other.

Honestly from my experience, a naturally-written site about a main keyword that happens to be the subject will have said keyword appearing at about 1-2.75%

This includes bold, alt, title, url, ahref, everything.. all weighted differently by ranks.nl which is a great tool.

But use it as a secondary means. Read it first, like Mike said, to make sure it sounds human.

Nothing! Nothing unless you need to. If those links are coming in organically then the anchor text should be varied and you should be golden.

Carry on, keep that rank improving, and bravo!!

Yeah they all work for me too.

So this remains one of the weirder topics on here but for different reasons than I first suspected. ..I'm really not sure what to tell you. Sorry.

Okay so I've seen a lot of talk about this and haven't really had time to look too far into it. I am a sucker for a hype-train, especially when it comes to a brand/product/service I love.

So Rand is reminding us all this morning of the new moz coming tomorrow. What the heck is it?

Redesign? New Tools/Functionality? Just a purdy face-lift? Is it a separate service from Moz Pro?

What?

I agree with Dennis. Sounds like it's time to bite the bullet and re-build. Take it as a lesson and move on.

In the meantime, have you considered driving in traffic through a PPC campaign? Might stop the bleeding..

I may be biased, but I could not agree more with EGOL (again.)

Look around here. You might like what you see.

Good luck!

Yes this has happened to me but not recently.

Not sure about the rest... sorry I am unable to elaborate.

Google does not communicate well on these issues so it would not surprise me in the least. But I had a domain that was Penguined and is back without any notice... Who knows..

HA! Mike, you won the daily internet. Bravo.

Yes, Christy, I signed up long ago. As I said, I am a huge sucker for hype.

Wow Kristina thank you so much for all of these helpful tips and resources. This is fantastic. You guys over at Distilled are doing impressive work and I'm jealous of all of you over there working for such a fabulous company who gets it.

Yes time is tight on this project.. money not so much. I actually have a pretty decent budget to play with. That said we recently underwent a site re-design and while I personally think we should sub it out and have a professional (with my guidance) re-design the site AGAIN with responsive design, I can not convince my bosses of this. And my main concern with responsive design is that it would take a massive overhaul of our current site and take much more time.

But I'm also concerned with the content. There is far too much content on our current desktop site which I don't think fits at all in mobile. So that was the main reason I wanted a separate mobile site.. the content was to be scaled back, simplified, and streamlined with a much smaller sitemap and much less "blah blah blah." (Of course I feel our main site should be this way too but I digress. I'm hoping that I can design the mobile site with this concept and show a higher conversion rate thus helping my case to re-thinking our desktop site.)

At MozCon Avinash told us all we sucked and showed us how we sucked. His favorite mobile site was motrin's (m.motrin.com) which is a separate site with scaled-back content. I have to agree with him that it's pretty sleek and does the job. Basically I am addressing this from the angle of "if a potential/current client lands on our page via mobile, what are they trying to see or do?" and the answer is most likely far less than the desktop site offers.

Does this make sense to you and seem like good reasoning to stick with the mobile design? I've been playing with the dudamobile builder and it is so incredibly easy that I may just end up doing that and paying them their $9/month to host it ad-free.

Anyway thanks again for the awesome response!

Build some links! You have a grand total of zero links pointing to this domain from zero sources with a domain authority of 1 (the minimum, basically zero).

I'm not sure why you're worried about your home page showing up when your domain/company is googled right now. I think you have bigger fish to fry. Those types of things will work themselves out as your SEO campaign takes off (ORGANICALLY!)

Googling "docslinc" at least brings your domain to the first results. It's an FAQ page, sure, but it's you. Google is in fact indexing your entire site but that may not last long either as you do have some pretty major duplicate content issues approaching... Go to google and search this query - site:docslinc.com

You'll see something like 1700 pages indexed and the VAST majority of them are duplicates of sign up and login pages. Examples:

https://www.docslinc.com/login.php?dctid=Mjg=&prid=NTI=&tim=MTQ6MDA=&dt=MjAxNC0wNy0yMg==&bkap=inst&brkt=MzA=&apptid=&ins_plan=&spl=1

https://www.docslinc.com/login.php?dctid=Mjg=&prid=NTI=&tim=MTQ6MDA=&dt=MjAxNC0wNy0yMg==&bkap=inst&brkt=MzA=&apptid=&ins_plan=&spl=1

https://www.docslinc.com/login.php?dctid=Mzg=&prid=NTY=&tim=MDk6MzA=&dt=MjAxNC0wNy0xMQ==&bkap=inst&brkt=MzA=&apptid=&ins_plan=&spl=1

(Yes folks, those URLs are slightly different)

They are all being indexed separately and that's a Panda Penalty waiting to happen. You need to get rel canonical tags on those pages and point them all to one or no crawl them altogether ASAP.

That dupe content issue will not solve your original question, but is very important nonetheless. To be honest I don't think your original concern matters all that much. Just get to building your marketing campaign and the rest will follow.

Good luck!

Couple things here --

First off I'm not sure you'll get the best coding advice here on the moz forums.. Although I know there are some people here who are good at it for sure. You may be better off with these types of questions at stackoverflow.com (just a thought)

Moz will give you awesome marketing/optimization tips though. For example, I might say to you "hey why are your images titled '09-prod.png' that isn't doing anything for your optimization..." Or I might say "oof. No offense but that site kinda gives me a headache. See if you can make it less busy and scale that drop shadow down... Is that comic sans?? no."

But also to answer your question, my best bet would be that your first product definition in the CSS has a "clear:left" operator assigned to it. That is most likely why it is not displaying. Try removing that.

Hope this helps!

Use different content?

I'm not sure I understand. Can you provide examples? I can't think of a reason why you couldn't build different/better content.

Well it doesn't really matter to me which one points to which one as the canonical version, but yes those are duplicate pages and one of them needs to be declared the authority. So it is up to you which you decide you'd like to have listed in Google's SERPs. Whichever one you decide you want listed, the canonical tag on both should point to. So if it's the tennis one you want listed, the gold one should have a canonical tag pointing to tennis and the tennis page should have a canonical pointing to itself.

Make sense? Hope this helps.

How bout shidiot? ...this thread is degenerating I apologize.
