This plugin has nothing to do with Moz does it?

It just got renamed and looked like it was from moz but....

it just got renamed a second time and no reference of Moz anymore. It is now called Expand SEO. It looks like they were using Moz's name to promoter their plugin.

I saw it there too but it just disappeared.

I had suggested combining the low quality pages to higher quality pages of the same topic, but the customer does not want to do that and wants to keep the content.

The content itself is a blog post that relates to their service. So in short the content is not necessary but is relevant to the website.

Michael

Yes, but is this a good practice to use for low quality pages? Would it help the whole site overall?

Michael

I know it is a good idea for duplicate pages, blog tags, etc. but I remember somewhere that you can help the overall link juice of a website by adding no index no follow or no index follow low quality content pages of your website.

Is it still a good idea to do this or was it never a good idea to begin with?

Michael

I agree as well. Something that shows me the page authority of the posts on a website with WordPress would be very helpful.

Thank you. Too bad they don't have a graph to add to the custom reports.Michael

I'm trying to find out how a keyword phrase ranked over time. I remember how to do it on the old Moz platform, but do not see it in the new platform.

I've checked the help files and forums and the information seems outdated because it mentions to click on a link that is not there.

Michael

Thank you, I did not think it would have been an issue either but the customer did not like seeing that on the report and wanted it fixed. I will look into how to setup a robots.txt file to take care of this.

Michael

Nope, that didn't do it. I see that WordPress creates duplicate content from having an archive of posts made on the website. Maybe If I can have an robot.txt file that does not crawl that directory???

Hello All,

I have a WordPress site that Moz says has duplicate content.

http://deltaforcepi.com/latest-news/page/3
http://deltaforcepi.com/category/latest-news/page/3

So I set up an addition to the .htaccess file . . .

redirect code to move from one folder to another

RewriteRule ^category/latest-news/(.*)$ /latest-news/$1 [R=301,NC,L]

What did I do wrong? I am not proficient in .htaccess files.

I just found out that getlisted.org is gone and they want to charge $49/listing. I want to find out if moz local is part of the moz pro account and if I don't have to pay the extra $49/listing.

Yes, that is what I am doing now but like to have it automated using triggers like explained at http://www.aleydasolis.com/en/search-engine-optimization/seo-dashboard-google-docs-seomoz-analytics/.

How can I export SEOmoz website rankings to Google Spreadsheet? I have applied other SEOmoz API's and Google Spreadsheet combos effectively but cannot find anything online for this.

I would like to display current ranking and ranking history for specific keywords in Google Spreadsheet and have them update automatically using the SEOmoz API.

Okay, I remembered an article Rand did on subdomains vs. folders and found it so this brings up more questions.

Quote from article: "Subdomains DO NOT always inherit all of the positive metrics and ranking ability of other subdomains on a given root domain."

But does the subdomain give positive metrics to the given root domain when it does well?
(This is the question that I started out with)

Quote from article: "Some subdomains GET NO BENEFIT from the root domain they're on. These include sites like Wordpress.com, Blogspot.com, Typepad.com, and many others where anyone can create their own subdomain to begin publishing."

The blog will be Wordpress, but will the blog give benefit to the root domain?
(Same question I started out with)

Was this article written before or after Google changed its mind about how to treat links from a subdomain from treating them from and external site to treating them like from an internal site? Does this article even apply anymore?

Hello, I have a client that has a blog with a domain of www.domain-a.com and a website www.domain-b.com. I told him that instead of trying to promote and rank with two different sites for the same thing that he should have his blog on www.domain-b.com so that any links, notices, visits, social mentions, etc. all point to one domain name and he was in agreement.

But he uses a CMS (content management system) for his website and his hosting/design companey said it would be easier to set up his blog as a sub-domain of his site. www.blog.domain-b.com.

My question is will the blog on a sub domain (www.blog.domain-b.com) help out link juice, ranking, etc. for the domain name www.domain-b.com just as must as a blog at www.domain-b.com/blog would help out the domain name www.domain-b.com?

I know that Google used to treat links form sub domains as external but recently changed the treatment of these links to internal.

P.S. The current blog at www.domain-a.com holds very little value currently.
