Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The problem might be that the last week in September is only a partial week with the rest of that week in October. Perhaps that last week might need to finish out before the September report can be generated. [I am just guessing here... ]

Yes, once you get back into doing it everything will come back to you quickly. Have fun!

Title is not a meta tag, as for the rest, order does not matter, they have to be somewhere in the head section. The id attribute can be used on any element in HTML5 and moving it to the end will make no difference. However in general it is best to keep a standard, consistent style. Why stir things up unnecessarily?

The order of attributes does not matter. [Don't you trust your developer? ]

I tend to avoid technologies like that (even if Google is involved), but here is a link that might be a start for you: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.no/2014/05/understanding-web-pages-better.html

When I first started my current job, I found out that in the past there had been a separate, small website for one of the products, which had been abandoned a couple of years before that. (The site, not the product.)

The site still seemed to have some good links pointing to it, so for the heck of it I 301'd it to the main page on the current site for that product. That page quickly grew to be one of the strongest pages on the current site.

This is just one anecdotal data point but based on my experience if it's not a huge amount of work, I'd try redirecting, at least for the pages with the best links.

I actually ended up installing it on my home computer as well as my work computer--I find that I have come to rely on it as a quick-and-dirty gauge of the quality of the website I am visiting...

In your chrome browser, there is a little "hamburger menu" on the top right (three horizontal lines, stacked).

Click that, go to tools > extensions and you should be able to delete it there.

ps- What do you find that it covers up?

How long ago did you connect Moz and your website? Perhaps not enough time has passed yet to see your reporting.

Could it have something to do with your topic, rather than the site itself? When I look at "student debt relief" in Google trends, I see a big spike in July, and September is half that. I know on my site that traffic is related to seasonality.

I had worried about that too, but Matt Cutts says no, within reason. If it is a clear "read more" with a paragraph or two dropping down, that's within normal use. If you have several pages dropping down on a minimalist page, that's probably bad.

It is an old video (2011) but I haven't heard anything more recently and Google hasn't taken it down...

I am not location-specific in my PPC so I cannot speak from experience but if I had that question I would probably set up two campaigns, one UK-wide with localized keywords and the other region-specific with the more general keywords, let them run a while, and see which one performs better.

The on-page grader lists the pages that rank in the top fifty for a keyword in one of your campaigns. In other words if you are seeing a phrase, even if the associated page is graded an F, it is because that phrase brought up that page in the top 50 search results.

In general the rule is one phrase per page, but it is not uncommon for a page to rank for a group of related long-tail queries. However if a page is an F for a query, you may have to make a lot of changes for it to grade well for that query, which would likely have a bad effect on the query that is is meant to rank for.

It would probably be better for you to figure out what elements of the page caused it to come up for the phrase it got an F for, and make a new page keeping those related elements and adding content relevant to this phrase. [The letter grades are not supposed to be the final word on the probable success of a page, btw.]

As far as whether your client is causing significant changes in Google's behavior, I would think not or else a lot of SEOs would be spending a lot of time typing in strategic search terms. [Though perhaps if they are very low search volume terms and bringing up results on the fifth page, it might not be impossible that that is what Moz is picking up. But it still wouldn't be important.]

It appears to be working for me. Maybe it was a transient glitch.

I use Rank Checker http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/rank-checker/

Matt Cutts has a couple of things to say about news websites.

One is that keeping a developing story on one webpage and updating it is a way to have a news page that can build rank.

Another is that news websites that are authoritative and/or do their own original writing can do well. Here are the links to the two relevant videos. (Kind of old, I know.)

We have news on our website (not at all the major focus - just as a handy reference for users) and it is also valuable to us because Google news picks it up, but since those pages weren't getting traffic after the day the news story appeared, I started removing old ones to be on the safe side. (Though that might not be workable for a site whose main focus is news and needs to keep living archives.)

Spammy signature links will not help you and they may well hurt you. If Google is ignoring them, that is a good thing.

The original question was about moving a blog from a subdomain to a subfolder (hosting your blog as a folder rather than a subdomain) and using the newly created subfolder as the canonical, which would be accessible.

I do see that in the example the question refers to a 301 from the subfolder to the subdomain, but I think that was just a little mix-up in writing up the example, and it should say that the 301 would be from the old subdomain to the new subfolder. Otherwise yes, that would be circular.

There is also the question of whether you'd need a canonical as well as a 301 (since that would be redundant) but I would probably do it anyway as a sort of belts-and suspenders approach, in case something went wrong. (But I worry too much.)

We are going to do a very similar changeover in the near future and that is how we plan to go about it. I have been looking into it and I don't see any major drawbacks. (But if anyone else has other information--I too would love to hear about it before starting this...)

It sounds like you might be selecting the campaign settings, rather than the ad group settings. Try this. When you are in Adwords, look at the folder tree to the left of your Adwords screen. You can see the ad groups indented under the campaigns that they are in. [Sorry if this is too elementary--sometimes it is hard to explain things online.]

Click on the ad group you want to adjust, then on the settings tab, then on the devices sub-tab. [You will know that you are in the correct place, the ad group rather than the campaign, because there will be no ad group tab.]

That is the other thing that might be causing your problem--you have to make sure "Devices" is selected, otherwise it will try to switch you to the full campaign if you have "All settings" selected. If "Devices" is selected, you should have no problem adjusting the mobile bid specifically for that ad group.
