How Does the On-Page Grader Know about my Target Keyword? Or how can I tell it?
Of course, but it's a pain in the bleep to do that over and over again for each KW. Thanks though.

Moz Crawl Test: Referrer is sitemap.gz?
Hi, No I don't think it indicates a problem. Your sitemap.gz is just the gzipped version of your sitemaps and it's a good sign that they link back to all your pages.

2013 - Google Places/Business to Google Plus Local
Titan, I am going to give you a suggestion before I answer your question; if you fill out a bit of the info on your Moz profile it will help people understand about what your business is in cases where they might need that info to help you. Next, with your business and the new merge of google business + with social (best descriptor I have found), if you have a service area business currently, you will not be able to do a merge. Full disclosure is that I am not able to find anything about this for you to link to and it came from our head of Local who talks with some of the top Google contributors for local. I suggest you check out Linda Buquet's posts and Mike Blumenthal if you haven't yet. Mike has localu.org and this post has some good back and forth that follow it. If you have a physical location where customers come in to do business with you, you should be able to create a G+ page using the same email address and then force the merge. If this does not answer fully for you, let me know and I will give you clear directions on how. It appears you have already done some reading and the only thing you need is a G+ page. Best

Microsoft/Bing Webmaster Tools
A easy way to insert question is definitely if you use a personal e-mail address and a separate e-mail address for business. It sounds to me like you want to have these things separated. I would create a new Bing webmaster tools account for your businesses URL along with every client. I honestly focus mostly on Google however it is important to make sure your doing things correctly on Bing as well. Here is a link talking about managing clients accounts or how to "Manage access to client accounts" using Bing Webmaster tools http://advertise.bingads.microsoft.com/en-us/help-topic/how-to/moonshot_proc_manageaccesstoclientaccounts.htm/manage-access-to-client-accounts & how to add users http://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/how-to-add-users-to-your-site-account-d5c00364 I would go with what makes you more comfortable. Personally I believe separating business with your personal e-mail is a very wise decision. I hope this helps, Thomas

How "much" schema.org is "too much"?
Thanks for the reply. The link is great! And other than "rel=author" (which I know shows up ), are there other "critical" ones to have?

Manual Rankings or Automated? Plus and Minus?
Hi Titan - I'm not an SEOMoz employee - so I can only speculate here. From the blog post on Raven Tools - they made the comment that the reason they decided to stop offering the rank tracker is because they failed an audit for the Google Adwords API. Google gave them an ultimatum - either stop using scraped data, or lose access to the API. From what I understand, SEOmoz was recently faced with the same problem, and they chose to drop the access to the Adwords API, instead of giving up access to the scraped data. This is understandable, since SEOMoz's tools focus exclusively on SEO - while Raven offers a a wide range of services - some SEO, some PPC, some Social Media, etc. So, I would be surprised if SEOMoz would stop offering the rank tracker. Though I really have no inside knowledge about this at all. I think the SEOMoz rank tracker is an internally developed tool. Raven tools, and a lot of other SEO tools in the industry used a company called Authority Labs. http://authoritylabs.com/ Rank tracking is the only thing that they do, and from what I've seen, their data is a bit better overall, if you're just looking for rank tracking. They also do daily monitoring of keywords, which is a bit overkill from my perspective - but could be useful if you're in a very competitive niche.

Counting Places LIstings in Manual Rank Checking?
Hi Titan552, When I am explaining to my Local SEO clients how to view search engine rankings, I say something like this: "You are ranking in the B position (2nd) in the blended/local results for X term. You are ranking 3rd in the organic results for X term". I differentiate between the two types of results, because they stem from different factors, though some factors are shared. Let me show you this as a live example, to be totally clear. Look at the results on this page for the query 'dentist san francisco': https://www.google.com/search?q=dentist+san+francisco+ca&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a SFGreenDentist is in the B position (2nd) in the blended local results (the ones with the lettered pins). DrMarkle.com is ranking #4 organically. In other words, SFGreenDentist.com has managed to achieve high local rankings and DrMarkle is doing pretty well organically, but hasn't broken into the true local results with his/her efforts. If you, instead, looked at the first page of the SERPs as a whole, I suppose you could say that SFGreenDentist is 5th overall and that DrMarkle is 11th, but I would not recommend doing this, particularly if you are working with Local SEO clients because it is important for them to understand that these results stem from 2 different sources. This often comes into play, especially, when dealing with service radius businesses (like plumbers, landscapers, chimney sweeps, etc.) who serve in a number of neighboring cities. The way Google is handling local rankings at this point, the typical strategy for, say, a plumber physically located in San Francisco would be for him to go after a primary blended/local ranking for 'san francisco plumber' and to go after secondary organic rankings for other cities where he serves where he is not physically located. In other words, for terms like 'plumber san jose', 'plumber oakland' and 'plumber santa clara', he would be targeting organic rankings for the most part, because Google is unlikely to show him in the true local results for these searches due to his lack of a physical location in the neighboring towns. So, viewing these 2 types of results as separate makes good sense, in my view, because the work and potentials of gaining high rankings in them requires different factors and tactics. Hope this helps!
