Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I'm trying to rank for several specific words in my industry. I've noticed that many of the pages I'm trying to rank for the specific words, the main image of the page is being ranked. So my question is should I still try to rank my page even though the image is ranking as the first image displayed in the google results. Will this count against me by Google if I do? Or should I try to make the image being ranked more enticing for google searchers to try to increase traffic? Right now the images are not generating many clicks.

Thanks for the response, the article already had these so I guess I'll just chock this one up as a "natural link from good content" win!

Just noticed a huge spike on one of our How To articles and found that a Lifehacker article used our article as a reference and linked back to it. Is there anything I can to to maximize the link juice from this backlink?

Thanks!

Here is my current sitemap for my site http://www.yakangler.com/index.php?option=com_xmap&view=xml&tmpl=component&id=1

I have some questions about it's current settings. I have a component called JReviews that xmap produces a separate link for each category.

Where as my other articles are only linked by the content category.

ex:

http://www.yakangler.com/news monthly 0.4
http://www.yakangler.com/tournaments monthly 0.4
http://www.yakangler.com/kayak-events monthly 0.4
http://www.yakangler.com/spotlight monthly 0.4

Which option is better?

The first question is pretty self explanatory. If I do need my keyword I'm trying to rank for in my link example: Looking for a cool skateboard (cool skateboard) is my keyword.

Can anyone on here help me come up with some creative ways for me to get folks to post backlinks to my site with that key word in it? Unfortunately my sites url does not have the keyword in my domain.

Wow that actually worked!!!! Thanks you have solved the issue!

It's nice to hear you didn't get a copy and paste answers like I got. What steps did you take to solve the issue, or did the revoking of tokens finally work?

Linda did you ever get your issue resolved?

Just a heads up to everyone. If you contact support via email like Sean suggested above this is the response you will get.

Normally this error is a result of Google going through a process called Oauth when it comes to authorizing access of services that are linked to your Google account. Under any single Google account, there are about 20 tokens account wide. Those tokens are used to provide access for a variety of services from Gmail to apps on your phone. Once you hit the limit, which is 20 for most users, the system automatically revokes the oldest token to provide a new one. I'm not certain if this is causing the issue on your account, but it is a great place to start troubleshooting.

You may be able to correct the issue by manually revoking your tokens to make room for new ones on your account and then reconnecting the account to Moz. Here are the instructions on how to do that:

• Follow this link https://accounts.google.com/b/0/IssuedAuthSubTokens. This page displays the current OAuth tokens you are using.
• Once you reach the page, simply press the revoke button (illustrated on this screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/vjh3KrjRRIe) for services that you are not using right now.
• Once you are done with, that simply go back to your campaign settings, disconnect your GA profile and reconnect.

I hope that helps, but please let me know if you are still seeing the error after you've done this or if you have less than 20 tokens on your account.

Look familiar? Yes it is the same instructions posted all over this forum. The worst part is when you reply to help saying you have tried this and it is still not working they will literally send you the exact same verbatim response. In fact they sent me this verbatim response for all 3 responses to my help email... You will also get the same people answering your email that answer in this forum, so I guess there is no Tier 1, 2, or 3, support. This issue is still not resolved for my account.

A while ago my site had a pharmacy hack done to it and created a ton of spam links. I've since fixed the issues on my site but I'm still showing links from their sites. See screen shot:

I think they are links from the spam site to me and not my site "yakanger" linking to them correct?

Do I need to worry about these?

Can I get rid of them?

I've been with SEO Moz for over a month and a half. Why would this weeks crawl have

Pages Crawled: 0? I've made no changes since the crawl last week that had 10k pages crawled...

Just noticed a huge spike on one of our How To articles and found that a Lifehacker article used our article as a reference and linked back to it. Is there anything I can to to maximize the link juice from this backlink?

I'm having the same issues, revoking access, and reauthorizing does not work.

not sure if this is any help to anyone but I have almost the same issue but it's a 500 error and the description says:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/downpour/init.py", line 391, in _error failure.raiseException() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/python/failure.py", line 370, in raiseException raise self.type, self.value, self.tb Error: 500 Internal Server Error

Talking to my hosting provider they said when the seomoz bot crawled my site it put my cpu usage over 25% causing the errors...  We will see if this happens on Sunday.
