Pages with URL Too Long
Hi There URL length is not used as a ranking factor. The guideline is that they mustn't be overly long without reason, otherwise they can look spammy. If your URLs are: Site/Category/Sub-Category/Brand/Product Name Then I see no problem whatsoever. MOZ didn't used to warn on URL length - I generally ignore it and tell my clients not to worry about it. Regards Nigel

Our crawler was not able to access the robots.txt file on your site
Wanted to jump back in on this topic as I've just confirmed my initial suspicion. I just added a new client to our Moz account and had the exact same issue, crawler unable to access the robots.txt file. It's a secure site and was configured in Moz without the HTTPS. When I go to the robots.txt file without https://www, it redirects to the same thing as yours where the / between the TLD and page path gets removed. Reconfigure your site and it should begin to work.

Sudden Drop in Organic Traffic through Image Search
Hi there, It's known that image search is rather random than understandable. Also, there has been some movements in the algorithm in the past 5-6 weeks. Check two of the most used sources: Mozcast.com Agoroo.com Also, have you checked if what images where the one ranked? Is it possible that those images where updated? Or that the newly ranked are more optimized? Have you noticed any changes in your server? Loading time might be a plausible cause. Best Luck. GR.

Avoid Keyword Stuffing in Document
Hi, I'm new to MOZ and I love the tools. I run a couple of websites that I have optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin. Yoast tells how many keywords and if it's enough or to less. In my case all websites meet the Yoast credentials. Now I'm running each page through MOZ and I got all A grades which is great, but many pages I have keyword stuffing. If the article is 2000 words or just 800, it's the same error. Yoast counts words/keywords depending on the length of the article. I don't see this within MOZ and I doubt if an article is 2000 words I can't use the keyword 20 times, that's just 1% but MOZ tells me stuffing. Would also like to learn more about this. Oscar

Changing URLs from sentence case to lower case
Just in case later in the future you want to turn all your URLs to lower case you can do something like this In your .htaccess file insert this ensure it is not a file on the drive first RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s RewriteRule (.*) rewrite-strtolower.php?rewrite-strtolower-url=$1 [QSA,L] Then in your root directory place a file called rewrite-strtolower.php and insert if(isset($_GET['rewrite-strtolower-url'])) { $url = $_GET['rewrite-strtolower-url']; unset($_GET['rewrite-strtolower-url']); $params = http_build_query($_GET); if(strlen($params)) { $params = '?' . $params; } header('Location: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/' . strtolower($url) . $params, true, 301); } exit(); ?>

Domain remains the same IP address is changing on same server only last 3 digits changing. Will this effect rankings
Hello Andy, Many Thanks for your reply, the site is UK based and for UK customers. You can view details about the webacelator here https://goo.gl/3nGlNy. Our site is not particularly slow, in google page speed it scores 83 for desktop and 70 for Mobile. We tried every bit to move the score to Green but it is fixed on current scores. Recommendation is asking us to remove imp js files which is not possible, when we implementing google minified js the pages are not functioning proper. One of the recommendations was CDN for which we contacted our hosting and they recommended webacelator instead of CDN as we are a UK based site only and they advised CDN is more for global websites Our site is made on custom PHP To the most i have read online on forums a DNS change would not affect our rankings. We may now go ahead with the transfer keeping fingers crossed Cheers! Sohail
