On your various popular blog pages, you link to your business page. Presumably, people who are interested in your information might also want someone to help them do something like that, so details of what you are offering and testimonials are important. [Internal links indicate to Google which pages you think are important and also spread link equity.]

RE: # code not detected
You have a inside the
but not thethat it is closing. That is just to start. The rest of that code needs cleanup and is mostly unnecessary--you wouldn't need two spans; the letter-spacing has no value, etc.
What is best is to properly define the h1 in the CSS and then use
Your Page Title
.
If you need to modify the h1 (maybe it is defined for a group of pages and on this particular page you want something a little different), do it as simply as possible. (The span attributes in your example probably would not do anything, assuming a white background, though that depends on how the class google-mixed, is defined...)

RE: Will Adding Publish Date at end of Page Title for Blog posts Hurt SEO?
Having dates in the URLs would discourage people from clicking on older posts in the SERPs, so you would be skewing your old posts vs new posts comparison in favor of new posts. Also, evergreen content can be really great for a site but those would be hard to come by with dates in the URLs I think, even if they are still very relevant.
However, there are certainly plenty of sites, like many Wordpress sites, that have dates in the URLs automatically so there are definitely people who successfully do this.

RE: When requesting a CSV for an internal 302 redirect report, the data isn't aligning with the UI. Does anyone have any suggestions?
On that spreadsheet, in column A you will see the URL with the redirect. Column G is "Temporary Redirect" and those should be TRUE (on the 302 redirect report). Column AK is Redirect URL and it is there that you will see the page that the page in column A is redirected to.
Are you looking for something other than this?

RE: Why MoZ Bar gives different PA and DA to my homepage? Surly they should have the same metrics?
Yes, that is exactly it. And yes, your curiosity should never be completely satisfied...

I am not sure what you mean. When you request a csv report for all of the pages with 302 redirects, you get a spreadsheet which lists all of the pages with that redirect, which you can view in Excel.

Did you try the usual, ie restarting or using a different browser?

Mine are working. What error do you see?

RE: Why MoZ Bar gives different PA and DA to my homepage? Surly they should have the same metrics?
The root domain does not have the same data as the homepage.
The domain authority takes the entire website into account and the homepage page authority takes only one single page, the homepage, into account.
Look at Moz again as an example. The homepage has 342,922 links from 11,650 root domains. The root domain has 15,899,372 links from 46,201 root domains. So they are not the same.
I do not know the mysterious details of how the authorities are calculated, but they are taking different data into account and one is looking at a single page while the other an entire site so it is not at all surprising that they can be different.

RE: Why MoZ Bar gives different PA and DA to my homepage? Surly they should have the same metrics?
All pages on your domain have the same domain authority. Each page has its own page authority.
The page authority of the home page can be the same as the domain authority, but it does not have to be.
For example, the page authority of moz.com (homepage) is 92 (looking at the moz bar) and the domain authority is 93. For www.macys.com (homepage) the page authority is 90 and the domain authority is 87.

RE: How accurate in your experience are the traffic results from Semrush
It showed you issues other than what you see in the Moz crawl?

RE: How accurate in your experience are the traffic results from Semrush
I don't find the organic traffic numbers to be very accurate (off by at least two-fold) but I like it for looking at ranking keywords.

RE: Canonical URLs all show trailing slash on main site pages - using Yoast SEO for Wordpress - how to correct
A similar question has been asked here before: http://moz.com/community/q/how-do-i-get-rel-canonical-to-eliminate-the-trailing-slash-on-my-home-page .
"Login to your WordPress backend as an administrator and look for "Plugins" on the left menu and go to "Editor" within the plugins menu."
You can also edit the canonicals of individual pages and posts under the "Advanced" tab on the individual page or post editing page.

RE: Finacial pages markup
I would also be very interested in having this kind of markup. (Maybe I'll send an email too...)

RE: Moz metrics
If you have two identical sites, Google would choose one of them and the other would drop out of the listings. A not-uncommon situation like this (two identical websites) does happen when there is no redirect between example.com and www.example.com. In that case the benefit of implementing a 301 redirect is that the indexed site gets the benefit of the way the two sites are not identical. That is, there might be links that point to the version that Google has not chosen that are lost without the redirect. So the rank of the site that is indexed would probably go up when the 301 is implemented; how much would depend on the quantity and quality of the unique links to the redirected site.

RE: 4 websites - meta titles and descriptions
If you have four different sites with basically the same content, meta descriptions are not your main problem. Google does not use what is in that field for ranking purposes; the purpose of writing good, unique descriptions is to entice people to click on them. Your big problem is that four extremely similar sites means Google will see them as duplicate content and one at most will end up ranking.

RE: Seasonal keyword tracking locally?
I do see the Adwords data for November is up now, so you can check your keywords.

RE: Duplicate Content Dilemma for Category and Brand Pages
According to Moz: "Another option for dealing with duplicate content is to utilize the rel=canonical tag. The rel=canonical tag passes the same amount of link juice (ranking power) as a 301 redirect, and often takes much less development time to implement." http://moz.com/learn/seo/canonicalization
Why do you think it does not pass ranking power?

RE: Canonical Help (this is a nightmare)
What I do when I want to get an idea of how frequently Google crawls a page is I look at when it was last crawled. If the cached date was a long time ago, Google probably doesn't crawl it that often. If it was recently cached, it could mean a more frequent crawl—but it also might be that I just caught it at the right time. So I look at a few similar pages to see if they agree.
(To see when a page was cached, do a search on the URL of the page in question—just put the URL right in the search box. In the results, look next to the green URL in the result which is the page you searched for and there is a little green triangle. Click that, and you will see "cached." Choose that, and it will bring up the version of the page that Google has cached, along with the date it was cached.)
Don't worry too much. Even without your fixes, Google will figure out the situation on its own and start showing a preferred URL anyway. But yes, it is generally a good choice to show yourself in the best light and follow best practices to make things as easy as possible for Google.

RE: How can I get a Moz crawl report of 404 errors on my site
I started to answer this one way, but then I looked again and you were looking for links from your website to external sites that are broken, yes? I do not know of a way to do this on Moz (though you can look at broken internal links), but you can do this with Screaming Frog. (A great resource to have for a lot of things...)
