Hi Linda,

are archive pages a duplicate page of the blog post? So they are actually separate pages?

Best wishes.

David.

Thanks Keszi!

I am watching it now.

Best wishes.

Hi Linda,

thank you for the quick response,

Promise this is the last question!

The report is also flagging up tags and the archive pages like this one:

http://www.dwliverpoolphotography.co.uk/2013/11

How do I correct these?

Thanks again!

David.

Hi Linda,

If I set it in yoast wont I have duplicate metas?

Best wishes.

Hi Moz is reporting no meta description on a wordpress category page like this one:

http://www.dwliverpoolphotography.co.uk/category/uncategorized/

Can I add a meta description to a category?

Best wishes.

Hi Chris,

Just read screaming frog is good for 500 urls and then you have to pay, I thought it was too good to be true!

David.

Thanks Chris!

Just after i wrote  question 1, I thought of using the screaming frog tool, I guess the title of the page is a strong enough indication?

Thanks for the links to the guides, and tools It get's a bit overwhelming sometimes it's hard to know where to start!

David.

Hi,

1. Is there any way to get the moz crawl to analyse any site like the website auditor tool in seo powersuite on command. It would be good to see what keyword my competitors  are using. would also like to analyse my site when i have corrected errors on command.

2. Is google adwords keyword tool still the best keyword research tool? I Don't see anything in the newbie guides to the moz pro tool regarding keyword research.

Thanks!

David.

Hi Rob,

Thank you for getting back to me. Your's and Hutch's advice regarding the spammy links was fantastic, I used the link to the guide Hutch sent and managed to disavow the spammy links in an afternoon. I rose 28 positions (back to top of page 2) the following day after using the google fetch command! I think the subscription has paid for itself there. So I take it you don't have access to the forums without the subscription?

David.

Thanks Chris!

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the response. I should have said it is a DA by MOZ from open site explorer. What about reciprocal links from other photographers? I am a member of an american site Photographers seo and there are other photographers who are happy to swap links. Are they worth the time?

Just going through my competitors back links, and discovered a couple of directories who charge a small fee for a listing (£20) (one way link) or a free listing (with a reciprocal link) they both have PR of 50 so I was wondering are these type of links still worth it?

Best wishes.

David.

Hi Rob,

Just checking out the tools you have mentioned, I was wondering do you think the MOZ pro subscription is worth it? I have only really been using the open site explorer and the forum. The SEO spyglass looks a lot more powerful.

Best wishes.

David.
