Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Check out Siteliner. I've never tried it with a site that big, personally. But it's free, so worth a shot to see what you can get out of it.

@Moz has tweeted back on the matter saying "The update is live, but it has not rolled out across all campaigns yet. That process takes hours."

In terms of a Google penalty, you have nothing to worry about.

However if you are providing false information about the competitor or writing negatively about them, I'd be more concerned about their response rather than Google's. If not, no worries!

This shouldn't be too much of an issue at all really.

My recommendation would be to noindex these /page/2 etc pages if you're using Wordpress. Various Wordpress plugins are available that allow you to do this easily. My favourite is Yoast SEO - you can noindex those pages and tag pages too. If you use tags, this would be more of an SEO concern than the paginated pages.

According to https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/ it has already been updated on 15th October, with next update due 15th November.

EDIT: Though the OSE homepage and Mozscape Updates log (https://moz.com/products/api/updates) says that it has been updated, I'm finding now too that all my campaigns' DAs are unchanged and still displaying same +/- stats as before. Testing different URLs on OSE too, doesn't seem as if any DA or PA has changed since August update.

Would be great for a Mozzer to let us know what's actually going on here...

Probably worth mentioning too that Mozscape doesn't update that often. So if the links are quite new, you may have to wait until at least the next update to see them in your link analysis. It can be like 2 months in between updates.... Basically if they say next update is mid-September, it'll come mid-October. But yeah, take Moz's link analysis with a pinch of salt and use in combination with other tools. I find ones that Moz picks up that others don't too so.

In my opinion, a good blog post would cover all four of those formats. Maybe even in that order.

Doesn't seem to be a way yet as it's still in early stages. But many users have requested this feature, and I've read that they plan on adding it soon. Fingers crossed very soon!!

Difficult really unless you already use something to track your keyword positions, such as Moz Pro or SEMrush.

Have you double-checked the accuracy of this?

I would first look to see whether traffic has been impacted by the drop, and then go on to check my main keyword rankings. Then I would try to figure out which search queries and pages I've dropped position for, and see if I can spot any patterns.

If you have access to all the website's files, you could try finding all instances in the directory using something like Notepad++. Could even use find and replace.

This is how I tend to locate those one-liners among hundreds of files.

Good luck!

Unfortunately, Moz's On Page Grader guide (https://moz.com/help/guides/research-tools/on-page-grader) doesn't discuss the contributing factors in much detail. But if you go into your Moz Analytics and click on the landing page in question in the On Page Grader, it shows you where you're lacking on all their contributing factors. Broad Keyword Use in Page Title is of "critical importance" which isn't too far from reality. But hopefully if you can get all of the other contributing factors sorted, you can at least get your grade increased from an F even if it will never be an A due to the page title.

How many ticks do you have in total? Are all bases covered but the title?

There are two or more different URLs on the same website competing against each other for that search query. If you hover over them or scroll down you can see which of the URLs they are. Trouble is, since they are competing against each other, it may be harder to climb the ranks as Google is getting confused and doesn't know which one to rank.

Better to have one single URL with content optimised to target the search topic and keywords, as it relieves Google of having to make the choice and ultimately... screwing it up.

Especially with recurring events, duplicate content also might be causing you issues down the line. You could always delete the events which are older than 12 months, and 301 the old event URLs to the current or upcoming ones. This way, you won't have duplicate content issues with recurring events, and searchers won't be landing on outdated events.

I noticed a drop with ecommerce rankings too earlier this Spring which I'm still trying to clean up.

Seems there was an "unnamed update" in February that affected quite a lot of ecommerce websites from what I've read. Certainly was noticeable that there was a change from February in the ecommerce sites I manage...

So between that and the Phantom, and from what I've seen in my analytics, I can only speculate that it had something to do with content quality / duplicate content (beyond just standard duplicate content issues, and looking at topically similar pages within large site structures that could potentially cannibalise each other based on theme alone). I'm still trying to sort out a better site structure to deal with these issues...

I don't think just specifying a title for an image makes a significant impact at all on its own, but combined with other aspects of image SEO (such as the alt text, the surrounding content and context of the image, filename, etc) helps. Even if a tiny amount. I personally like to include it myself, because why not. If it's relatively effortless, every little helps.

Be interesting to read what other community members make of image titles

I'd recommend checking this out for LD-JSON Schema examples for location pages for local businesses:

https://developers.google.com/webmasters/business-location-pages/schema.org-examples

https://developers.google.com/webmasters/business-location-pages/

Check out branchOf schema and how Google recommends structuring your location pages for different store locations and departments.

Hope that helps!

I wonder whether Moz would count your social profiles in the website schema as links? Because then you wouldn't need to get rid of the official Facebook and Twitter buttons (if you don't want to).

All you'd need to do is chuck this in your code:

If Moz are just checking the source for the links, maybe that's all they'd need. And Schema is always good

Not necessarily. I usually go via the campaign dashboard for clients, but you can use it to check out the top 50 pages of your competitors' websites too via that link.

In your Moz Analytics, if you click on Link Analysis from the Links section in the sidebar, you will see the Top Pages by PA tab.

Clicking this will show you a table of your Top 50 Pages by Page Authority, sorted into Page Title, PA, LRDs, Total External Links and HTTP Status. You can also export this to CSV for your own records or just to suit your own preference of data browsing in an application of your choice (Excel, Google Sheets, whatever).

Hope that helps!

EDIT: This might be easier...
