Why won't the Moz plug in "Analyze Page" tool read data on a Big Commerce site?
-
We love our new Big Commerce site, just curious as to what the hang up is.

I know several developers but the main concern is the platform, Big Commerce. I am not offering feedback regarding the platform, but the first decision you need to make is whether you are committed to sticking with Big Commerce.
If you wish to keep the site built on Big Commerce, my recommendation would be to seek out a developer who specifically has experience working with that platform. There are tons of developers and companies who are all to willing to accept any web development work. You want a specialist who can say "I have built dozens of Big Commerce sites, that's mainly what I do."

Thanks Ryan. As I'm not a developer I wouldn't have known how to troubleshoot this. I had suspicions that things were not all good, as I noticed some slow slow page load speeds.
So basically, my client's developer hacked up the code very nicely.
Know any developers interested in getting involved with this project? Seems like I'll need to advise my client to fire yet another developer.
Best, Stephen

The AnalyzePage function works fine on Big Commerce sites. I checked a couple other sites and it worked perfectly. For example: http://tricejewelers.com/ is a Big Commerce site.
The difference I see on the particular site you shared is it has the largest number of coding errors I have ever seen on a web page. http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.asseenontvfrenzies.com%2Fyonanas%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.2
When I try to use AnalyzePage via FF, it hangs. When I use Chrome, I see results but it is for the social plugins, not the page itself. I suspect the root issue is the coding errors. For a more definitive answer you can open a ticket with the help desk help@seomoz.org.
Good luck.

Can you share the link to the page?
Analyze Page does not work if a page is not fully loaded. I have experienced issues in that regard, but then I refresh the page and it works fine.

Will a Robots.txt 'disallow' of a directory, keep Google from seeing 301 redirects for pages/files within the directory?
Hi- I have a client that had thousands of dynamic php pages indexed by Google that shouldn't have been. He has since blocked these php pages via robots.txt disallow. Unfortunately, many of those php pages were linked to by high quality sites mulitiple times (instead of the static urls) before he put up the php 'disallow'. If we create 301 redirects for some of these php URLs that area still showing high value backlinks and send them to the correct static URLs, will Google even see these 301 redirects and pass link value to the proper static URLs? Or will the robots.txt keep Google away and we lose all these high quality backlinks? I guess the same question applies if we use the canonical tag instead of the 301. Will the robots.txt keep Google from seeing the canonical tags on the php pages? Thanks very much, V

Verify all versions of site in Bing Webmaster Tools
Hello, We recently migrated our site to a new shopping cart, https, and from www to non-www, and it's been a rough transition. We've lost a lost of traffic particularly in Bing. All the versions of our site are verified Google WMT, sitemaps are submitted correctly, etc. Unfortunately, this was not done for Bing. Currently only the new version of our site (https, non-www) is verified in Bing WMT. Do we have to verify all versions of our site in Bing, the way they are in Google WMT? Also, now that it's been a few months since the switch, should we still submit a site move to Bing WMT or is it too late? Thanks in advance!

Links in Webmaster Tools that aren't really linking to us
I've noticed that there is a domain in WMT that Google says is linking to our domain from 173 different pages, but it actually isn't linking to us at all on ANY of those pages. The site is a business directory that seems to be automatically scraping business listings and adding them to hundreds of different categories. Low quality crap that I've disavowed just in case. I have hand checked a bunch of the pages that WMT is reporting with links to us by viewing source, but there's no links to us. I've also used crawlers to check for links, but they turn up nothing. The pages do, however, mention our brand name. I find this very odd that Google would report links to our site when there isn't actually links to our site. Has anyone else ever noticed something like this?

"Standout" tag and "Original content" tags - what's the latest?
In November 2010 Google introduced the "standout tag" http://support.google.com/news/publisher/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=191283 I can't find any articles/blog posts/etc in google after that date, but its use was suggested in a google forum today to help with original content issues. Has anyone used them? Does anyone know what's the latest with them? Are they worth trying for SEO? Is there a possible SEO penalty for using them? Thanks, Jean

I am getting an error message from Google Webmaster Tools and I don't know what to do to correct the problem

On-Page Report Says 'F', and I'm Confoozled As to Why
I'm primarily interested in how we failed in our "Broad Keyword Usage in Title" category. The Keyword Pair we're gunnin' for is: "Mac Windows" Our current page title is: "CrossOver: Windows on Mac and Linux with the easiest and most affordable emulator - CodeWeavers" This is, I grant, ugly. However, bear with me. SEOMoz Report Card says "Easy Fix!" and suggests: "Employ the keyword in the page title, preferrably as the first words in the element." I humbly submit that "Mac" and "Windows" IS in the page title. So what am I missing? Is it the placement of the words relative to each other, or relative to the start of the sentence? Or is the phrase "CrossOver:" somehow blocking the rest of the sentence from being read? Are colons evil? I'm genuinely mystified as to why (from a structural standpoint) our existing title tag is failing this test, and I'd be delighted for answers and/or feedback. Thanks in advance.

How to block "print" pages from indexing
I have a fairly large FAQ section and every article has a "print" button. Unfortunately, this is creating a page for every article which is muddying up the index - especially on my own site using Google Custom Search. Can you recommend a way to block this from happening? Example Article: http://www.knottyboy.com/lore/idx.php/11/183/Maintenance-of-Mature-Locks-6-months-/article/How-do-I-get-sand-out-of-my-dreads.html Example "Print" page: http://www.knottyboy.com/lore/article.php?id=052&action=print
