Hi Sarah,

If your notices, warning or errors increase and you want to analyse easily the data, then maybe you should try exporting the information (this is how I do it, it makes it more clear for me).

So the steps:

1. you go to your campaign overview

2. click on the crawl diagnostics

3. click on the notice you want to analyse

4. on the page export the info to CSV and click export

5. now download and open it with a Microsoft Excel or Openoffice Calc? (I believe that is the Excel version of Openoffice)

then in excel you can sort, filter, etc. the info.

Another approach would be to download all the information from the crawl diagnostics. Then you can sort, filter, etc the data from there.

I hope this helped,

Istvan

From my experience, if the content is well written and it adds value for users you will only benefit from it.

This way you will have Unique, descriptive text on the product search page and it makes easier to optimize for.

Hope that helped,

Hey Ash,

If you use a canonical in the index.html, then when you load example.com or example.com/ or etc. etc. versions you basically load the index.html (in which there is configured the canonical link).

My developer usually makes a 301 redirect from non-www. to www. and we implement to canonical link into index.html and that is it

I hope it helped,

All your campaigns are going to be crawled on weekly basis and you will get an email from the seoMoz team, when the crawl is finished.

You will find additional information on: http://seomoz.zendesk.com/home

The Zendesk provides all the information.

Sorry for not posting direct links to pro webinars, but you will find some great info on how to use your pro membership over there.

Greetings,

Hey,

I've seen nobody answered your question, so here it comes

What you see regarding canonicals are notifications(and not errors). There is not system which could tell if the canonical link is pointing to the right one or not(which url is the one that you chose to target), what it can do is to point it out to you. Then you can export the list of URLs and check if you have applied them good or not.

Unfortunately this means a lot of manual work, but it can help a lot.

Just think about the fact that you might Point a Canonical link from Page A -> Page A and from Page B-> Page B (because you have a script that will point a canonical to itself). Eventually these two pages are the same, it will be quite confusing to a search engine, right?

Or Page A -> Page B, Page B-> Page C and so on... that's also something that you would like to avoid.

Another case Page A -> Page B, Page B -> Page A.

With exporting the data that SEOmoz gives you and analyzing it in Excel (or a similar program), you will have the chance to avoid these problems.

I hope it helped and cleared the picture a little-bit

Hi Atul,

Do you have a thank you page after subscribing? if so, then you can track it with google analytics.

Set up a goal in GA: Decide one of the three types of goals you want. This can be URL Destination, Time on Site, or Pages/Visit. You will need the URL destination. just enter the Thank You page's URL and it is set up.

That should be the scenario.

I hope that helped,

useful video step-by-step: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no9LuXnmLao

There is a guide in Google help central which tells the steps to move a site.

http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=83105

Maybe you forgot to change the address in Google Webmasters Tools?

Hope that helped,

Hi Catfish,

The thing with the number of links is that usually having a lot of links on one site can devalue the "juice" that the article pages get from the fact that you are linking to them. I am always trying to keep the number of links on one page below 50 if that is possible, since then we target our audience better to targeted pages (and it is less confusing for the visitors).

I hope that helped,

Hi,

There is a nice article from Danny Dover on Moz: http://moz.com/blog/a-step-by-step-15-minute-seo-audit-a-sample-from-seo-secrets which describes a really simple SEO audit in 15 minutes.

Oh and for the tools list I would suggest 2: Moz + Screaming frog

I hope it helps,

your code should look like something:

 [onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Downloads', 'PDF', '/salesForms/orderForm1.pdf']);">Download PDF](<span>http://www.example.com/files/map.pdf)

The "MyMap" you see in the code above is a Label.
You can read further on: http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/eventTrackerGuide.html#Labels

From the article which is linked above:

Setting Up Event Tracking

Before you can view event tracking results in your reports, you must set it up on your site following these steps.

1. Set up tracking on your site. Make sure you have set up tracking for your website. For information on setting this up, see Tracking Sites.

2. Call the _trackEvent() method in the source code of a page object, widget, or video.

   The specification for the _trackEvent() method is:

   _trackEvent(category, action, opt_label, opt_value, opt_noninteraction)
   

   • category (required)

     The name you supply for the group of objects you want to track.

   • action (required)

     A string that is uniquely paired with each category, and commonly used to define the type of user interaction for the web object.

   • label (optional)

     An optional string to provide additional dimensions to the event data.

   • value (optional)

     An integer that you can use to provide numerical data about the user event.

   • non-interaction (optional)

     A boolean that when set to true, indicates that the event hit will not be used in bounce-rate calculation.

3. View the reports. Once event tracking has been set up and working on your site for a day, go to the Content section of the reports and view Event Tracking.

Hi Gareth,

There is a very good article about this @Google: https://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=83105

You can check that.

I hope it will help,

Istvan

As fair as I know, there is no other equivalent of this value. You should wait 1-2 days, usually big G is fast at checking the sitemaps and showing up some relevant data.

Also you can now test your sitemap data with the GWT so it will benefit from more than 1 part your work if you submit your sitemaps.

Cheers!

Hi Dave,

Personally I would put a noindex, follow on all three of these pages.

The question to you would be the following: Do you think, that if someone would land on your website to one of these pages, would it deliver value for them?

The single item, that in my belief should be analyzed is the search pages. I'd check from Google Analytics if there is any organic traffic to these pages, compare it with the current pages that are on my site. And IF I find any new queries which I do not cover with my current pages/categories, I would create one for them.

I hope it helped. Gr., Keszi

The code goes into the link which points to the download page (just as you have thought )

And the /salesForms/orderForm1 was a copy-paste from the article I have linked

Hi Jacob,

I would go for a canonical in the index page. This should remove the .com version from index and tell search engines which is the "main" language.

I hope that solves this issue.

Hi James,

I am sure they will come up with an answer or advice how to do resolve your issue

Good luck,

Hi David,

There was a very good article about this topic back in 2014 (I know it sounds a little bit old, but still it is very descriptive): https://moz.com/blog/seo-guide-to-google-webmaster-recommendations-for-pagination

We also had a similar implementation, and I went with the Option 3B from the article pointed out above: **Option 3: Implement Pagination Relationships + noindex, follow directive after page 2. **

So you want to have only the first page indexed, then set the directive "robots" to "noindex, follow" after the first page. HINT If you use /page/ in your url structure (vs page query parameter), you can also use that to check if that page needs to be indexed or not, as it should only appear after page 2.

I hope it helps.

www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/Portfolios/Income/ is not http://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/login/?requestedPage=%2Fportfolios%2Fincome%2F

The first one has content, the second doesn't. While you are not logged in you are redirected to the second one. (Depends on cookies I think). If they have "smart" enough they have submitted their www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/Portfolios/Income/ to Google index, so Google can see it
