John Mueller of Google Search recently shared quite a bit on the topic of links and website ranking factors in a Google Webmasters Hangout.

Naturally gaining affirmative incoming links pointing to those blog posts will substantially help. Creating the post is only a first step, I find that marketing the post afterwards takes longer - but also is what really gets the content used.

How I understood the conversation with John Mueller about on-page linking.

When a link is no followed, Google doesn’t pass link juice.

When a link is followed but is no indexed, in this case, Google does pass page rank because they are aware of the page.

When a page is no indexed and the link is nofollow, Google essentially sees it similar to a 404 page and skips it will flag to the spiders that this page is now relevant and to re-crawl the page.

CONCLUSION: When conducting a link audit, reviewing the link risk and considering factors currently ranking sites, the need for SEOs to understand NoFollow links is still necessary. This goes beyond the scope of the content distribution networks that we've tried.

When something is this central to building your domain authority, I agree with Egol that a more hands-on approach has it benefits.

Strong social signals also help a lot: each platform is unique from Google+, to Facebook and LinkedIn for lead generation.

Much depends on where your site lives. I spoke extensively with Bluehost this week because of having same error resurface at odd times and my site correspondingly lowered considerably in MOZ's trust score. (At least at the same time, although I wonder about this.)

You may need to try server load testing for servers using virtual users to learn what limitations currently exist. It helps if you highly optimize your site to load fast (recommend that you use Accelerated Mobile Pages). Monitor CPU loads, ram usage, and database connections/queries to see if they run efficiently. Reasons already exist and more are coming that make these pages load faster to reduce such complications as well as new advertising opportunities to target mobile buyers.

Typically shared servers are managed to some degree by the hosting company.  You can call them and perhaps together reset your timing in php configurations. They often won't make the change for you, you have to physically do that, but your web host may walk you through these timing tweaks for your site's TCP connection.

I have another client with the same host but who pays for a  VPS ULTIMATE package. That means that his server is unmanaged by the host, but on his site so far, we have not had the TCP connection close to the Moz crawler that we know of.

QUESTION: Moz, any chance you will simply extend the time your crawler takes to reduce these complications?

From my reads and attending Google hangouts with their AMP engineers, I take it that Google intended for AMP pages to be used for eCommerce from the inception of the project.

It comes for YOUR Moz report - "New Rankings & Insights | Hill Web Creations"

And that is precisely MY question.

| Keyword |
| np - /google-structured-data-update/ |

In my "New Rankings & Insights | Hill Web Creations" report, while "Google structured data update" moved up significantly, at the same time, "np - /google-structured-data-update/" moved down significantly.

Any insights that would offer a deeper understanding of the discrepancy and how to pull both up?

If this corresponds with Google Analytics, the "np" Acquisitions > Campaigns > Organic Keywords > "Organic Search Traffic" Report, how is Moz rendering is New Rankings & Insights?

I am working on a website, https://linkedinforbusiness.net and a ton of 999 HTTP errors have only now surfaced.

I would venture from reading the "Request denied" error in the log, LinkedIn means to block BLCs attempts to check those links. It might be because the site has a lot of LinkedIn links; maybe they find it suspicious that the server is sending a lot of requests for their links.

How do you see this? Any fixes? What level of harm do you think it brings to the site?

I have removed all similar links to LinkedIn from my site to avoid this (https://www.hillwebcreations.com). However, this isn't so easily done for LinkedIn For Business, as her work in all about helping businesses and individuals optimize their use of LinkedIn.

Yes, you are right, Ryan. It is a great practice to cross check reported. Before posting here, I did so and the errors are only indicated by the Moz tool. My assumption is that the Moz tool is more accurate and tests deeper.

That is why I hoped to understand and fix whatever issue would cause Moz to report "no data". Seems like it remains a mystery.

I am seeking to use LeadPages for Landing Pages for a client and cannot seem to correctly add them to the Sitemap.xml in the Google Search Console.

They are visible in the web host's CPanel version of the sitemap.xml and have been indexed in the Fetch as Google in the Google Search Console. Yet they will not show up in any sitmap.xml test within the Google Search Console.

Does this have something to do with the pages being added through LeadPages WordPress plugin? How can I get them to be added to the sitemap.xml in the Google Search Console?

Example pages:

http://ddinstruments.com/chevy-gauge-cluster-repair

http://ddinstruments.com/remanufactured-international-instrument-clusters

http://ddinstruments.com/kenworth-truck-speedometer-repair

Yes, I have checked the page speed both in Google's PageSpeed and GTmetrics.  Depending on the page and browser, we fit between and "A" and a "B". (YSlow, as usually, rates them a bit lower),

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your response. I have run several tools, such as Screaming Frog and only have a few HTTP Status errors, and those few don't necessarily line up with the Moz report.

It was nice to learn of http://httpstatus.io - a new tool for me.

As I am always working hard to win in SERP's - if this error reporting in Moz can clue me to new improvements that would be great.

In my Moz top pages report, why is there "no data" in the  HTTP Status column? Is this an indication of something missing or an error?

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to do such thorough research and offer some avenues for me to check out.

To date, none of the above options work for me in Adobe BC. I can only get the hack to work in the blog layout (hack to implement rel="canonicals"). However the results tests out that every page renders the same - not to the individual post, but to the blog list of posts.

This leans me in the direction of moving all clients to another platform.

Thank you for your answer. I have the rel=canonical tag in all web pages, but this is a blog post and in the BC platform, I don't believe I have that option (that I can find).

I cannot determine why the URL redirects weren't working. As you suggested, I redid them. Both time they show in the Adobe BC platform. I have waited hoping to see an updated correction populate through; however even now a week later the same error shows up in GWT. If, why, or which one could be a wrong reading - I don't know.

I have hundred's of 301 redirects and have no problem with the others. Is there simply a point where there are too many?

Can you help my place the benefit of paying for Moz Local, if I now need to pay for so many individual directories to update the information. I presumed that Moz Local would have the reach to do that. My score has actually gone down since using it. Rather than correcting listings, new one were generated and now I have more problems than ever with multiple listings and have to go pay additional to fix them.

Hi,

How do I resolve a duplicate title error in GWT over spelling in URL?

Ttile of Post: Minneapolis Median Home Sales Price Up 16 Percent

Not sure how this happened, but I have two URL versions show up. Even with a 301 redirect, the both remain an error in GWT.

/re​al-​est​ate​-bl​og/​Min​nea​pol​is-​med​ian​-ho​me-​sal​es-​pri​ce-​up-​16-​per​cen​t and /re​al-​est​ate​-bl​og/​min​nea​pol​is-​med​ian​-ho​me-​sal​es-​pri​ce-​up-​16-​per​cen​t

Does anyone know how I can correct my axiom.com directory listing? I do pay for Moz Local Listings, however, this one refused to updater per my CVS file used by Moz.  Is there a way to do so without paying axiom as well?

The provided website URL fails to display and the city is incorrect on axiom.com's directory. It is correct in the Moz file submitted.

I am ramping up the Local Search, using Moz's paid Local Search and will see what happens. Thank you both for your responses.

Again, thanks for the insightful comment, EGOL.

Can anyone from MOZ help me better understand my question and  the example  provided?

Thanks advance if you can take the time and offer help.

EGOL,

You highlight a chief concern of mine: this real estate client is dynamite. Yet, did I "pick the right niche" in trying to help her? Here her unattended, disregarded for typical SEO features, etc, site on the super star parent company is given more credence, that tremendous effort on her personal web site has.

What organic SEO practices can ever nudge Google's ranking needle when in the same niche as brand giants that spend mega amounts on paid search?

Why do you thing MOZ puts an emphasis on it if DA & PA have no merit or influence?
