Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Unfortunately, there is no way to mark up your website to display sitelinks in search results. Google will only display them for reputable websites if they think that these additional links to pages within your website are useful to the user's search query. Can't really do anything else, I'm afraid. Apart from demote pages in Search Console that you don't want to appear as a sitelink. Other than that, sitelinks are a little out of our control....

As always, Google thinks it knows best. What's new? lol

Good luck!

This is quite common when Google feels that the specified title and meta description isn't as relevant to the search query (or if they feel that your title and meta description is misleading and irrelevant to the page content). So although it might show your title and meta description for the majority of search queries, they might decide that they can do better and provide a more relevant title and meta description based on the user's search query. Unfortunately when it comes to this, you can't win them all. The important thing is to make sure that your title is optimised and relevant to the content that's on the page as much as possible, and that your meta description is both enticing to the user and also relevant to the content of the page. I've found that, although Google no longer use the meta description as a ranking factor, it's still important to get a couple of your page's keywords in there just to prove relevance.

As a frequent user of Fetch as Google, it's handy to get some pages indexed as quickly as possible into Google or to update how Google is seeing a page. I've seen absolutely no negative effects from speeding up the indexation process like this, but there is a monthly limit. (But, unless you're going HAM on it, you'll likely never reach this.)

I'd rather have as much control as possible over how my result is displayed in the SERPs. I think if you make your meta description relevant enough to your page that Google doesn't consider it not as good as theirs (at least for the more obvious queries. Can't please all those longtails), then you can use the description to really sell the page to the searcher.

I think Matt's saying though that it's better to specify no meta description at all than use duplicate descriptions across multiple pages.

I'd personally recommend subdirectory. Google tends to see subdomains as being separate websites so, as you said, it's harder to build up authority to a subdomain blog.

There have been many people this week reporting huge drops and fluctuations in their websites' DA and PA. This has been put down to the recent updates with Mozscape and how it is calculated. Rand explains it quite well in this post: https://moz.com/community/q/da-pa-fluctuations-how-to-interpret-apply-understand-these-ml-based-scores

Any drops in DA and PA don't necessarily mean that your website and/or link profile has decreased in quality. Which is why it's always recommended to compare your DA/PA metrics against your competitors rather than against your own website's historical metrics to get a more accurate view of how DA and PA updates are affecting you.

Unfortunately you'll have to wait for the next Mozscape update to see the effects of your changes in Open Site Explorer.

Next update is scheduled for 9th December.

Check out Rand's explanation of the huge fluctuations in DA/PA this month (https://moz.com/community/q/da-pa-fluctuations-how-to-interpret-apply-understand-these-ml-based-scores). He explains it rather nicely.

Always best to compare your DA score against your competitors', rather than against your historical scores alone. Causes less panic too! But yeah, it seems many websites are reporting huge drops in DA. Doesn't necessarily mean that your website quality/authority has decreased since last update.

From the Billing & Subscription page (https://moz.com/subscriptions), on your Subscription Summary, you should see a list of "Subscriptions you manage".

On that page for each subscription, you have the options to "Manage Seats", "View & Change Plan" and "Cancel Subscription".

If trusted websites are linking to that page, the anchor text used to link to that page is a huge signal to Google that that page is relevant to those keywords being used in the anchor text. So Google will start to rank that page higher for those keywords, sometimes despite those keywords not even making a single appearance on the page.

Just get those keywords you're trying to rank for somewhere naturally on the page - within the text, headings, alt text, etc. So long as doesn't look keyword-stuffed.

As far as I'm aware, the custom reports are sent with every update (usually weekly). So if your keyword data etc has just been updated today, then you would have received the custom report today.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but that's just what I noticed on running custom reports myself. Every time recipient received a custom report, it was not long after keyword data had been updated in Moz Analytics.

This answers sooo many of my questions. Thanks, Rand!

Just when you start automatically expecting Mozscape update to be delayed... The new index gets released early! Thanks, guys!

I would suggest noindexing these tag pages so that they don't appear in Google and therefore pose no duplicate content issues with Google. Bit of pet peeve of mine to have tag pages being indexed... though they're great for on-site navigation!

But if pages 2/3/etc are displaying duplicate content from your actual blog posts, then why would you want the paginated pages indexed by Google?

Ask yourself: what do I expect people to Google to land on page 2 of my blog, and would I rather they land on a blog post instead? If the pages 2/3/etc provide no value to searchers and only serve as navigation for users, why confuse Google by keeping them indexed?

If your title is relevant to the query searched, then it could be down to a number of reasons e.g. Your title is too long, too spammy, irrelevant to the actual content of the page, etc.

It's difficult to say really without seeing the page and comparing it to Google's preferred title.

It's definitely worth asking about that canonical link. If they are nice, they'll add it - and I've personally been lucky with that before. If they were "nice" enough to credit you for the blog post and link to the original source, then they should be fine with adding it.

This is apparently on Moz's "To Do List", due to the high number of requests they've received for this feature. Multiseat is still a super new feature, so I expect (hopefully!) with time more multiseat settings will be made available. But they have stated that multiseat permissions on a campaign-by-campaign basis is something that they are working on.
