Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I agree the campaign tool is great... However there is a week long lag to get results. Sometimes you need it in a matter of minutes and the rank tracker tool did that perfectly, until now.

Is there any chance the lag time could be changed for ranking results?

Agreed, i get nothing but errors when trying to use it as well.

Out of curiosity, since i haven't used wordtracker before.

What are the benefits that they offer in regards to keywords research?

The funny thing is, i didn't find a solution nor did i mark this as anwsered...

It looks like someone on the SEOMoz staff thought it was done?

Brent - thank you for finding my post, i thought it was forever lost!

They had created a custom template, however i will still suggest them try the TAC plugin just incase. I will post the results once i get them.

Thanks again - Kyle

So this new project that i am working on is a redesigned CMS site using Wordpress (php based). Before i started on the project they made a few major updates that include:

• Changed from ID based URLS to SEO friendly URLS
• Added multiple languages in directories
  • www.domain.com/en
  • www.domain.com/fr
  • www.domain.com/de
  • etc...
• Due to the new languages they wanted to have the previous home page, www.domain.com, redirect to the proper language based on their IP address. Currently they are using a 301 redirect through a php header. So if i was visiting the site from my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio and i type www.domain.com into the browser. I would automatically redirect to www.domain.com/en and i would have the option to switch languages if needed.

The issue:

When i first added their site into SEOMoz the crawl returned a large amount of 302 redirects coming from their old homepage www.domain.com. So i took a look at the header calls using IE's webmaster tools and Firebug in Firefox. In both profilers it showed the same problem.

• Before the 301 header redirect there was a 302 redirect called first
• When viewing the response header it mentioned an x-pingback of some file that didn't even exist on the site: www.domain.com/xmlrpc.php

This is obviously a huge issue because any link value from the old homepage will be lost due to the 302 not passing the value. I have tried search the almighty Google for help but it has gotten me no where. I have a hunch it is something to do with Wordpress but that is based on nothing but my gut. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I got to get that 302 gone or changed to a 301

Can you supply me with your competitors URL you are evaluating so i can review the OSE results?

So you are saying the zip & image files are being hosted by the competitor and fema.gov is displaying them via absolute links?

The easiest way to see if they are legitimate links is to check them out yourself. Use OSE to link through to the page, view the source, and then do a find for the competitors URL. From there you will be able to tell if it was actually a link or just a fluke.

Out of curiosity, what is your competitors domain?

Agreed, i always check both singular and plural. Not only for traffic reasons but for difficulty as well!

Well i took a look at your site's link metrics using majestic seo and it looks like you have some pretty limited link metric's for your site currently. Chances are you aren't seeing an error with OSE or Google's PageRank, you just simply don't have enough back links yet. (No worries though, there is always room for improvement!)

Remember it takes OSE around 2-3 months at times to notice new links if they see it at all. I would suggest using someone like majestic or google's webmaster tools to measure the amount of links as you start off.

As for how to build your links, here is a great place to start: http://www.seomoz.org/pages/search_results?q=link+building

Good luck - Kyle

Where are you receiving this error message? OSE, ranking reports, domain analysis? A little more info will help us answer your questions.

Thanks! - Kyle

First check to see if the site has been reindexed in Google's cache (this link can be found in the site preview box in the SERPs, it actually gives you the last crawl date). This will tell you if your updates have been reviewed by Google. If they still haven't, then its a waiting game. Rasmus does bring up a valid point with resubmitting an XML sitemap, i have seen that speed up the process as well.

Good Luck - Kyle

Google has published multiple times that running pay-per-click ads in no way influence your organic rank. I cannot imagine there is any difference with those ads if they show up in SERP's or on the content network. The only benefit i have seen with running pay-per-click ads in regards to organic is that your content gets re-indexed faster.

No problem! Glad i could help.

SInce i can remember the SEOMoz toolbar didn't display Google's PageRank, just DA and PA. However, as far as i know Google is still using this. If you are a pro member then you have access to the historic page rank tracker:

http://www.seomoz.org/toolbox/pagerank

Is the data being displayed in the title and meta description in the SERP content from the PDF?

If so, then yes, they are being indexed/crawled.
