How to find all of a website's SERPs?
-
Was wondering how easiest to find all of a website's existing SERPs?
-
The only caveat is this:
SEMrush scrapes the top 20 results. It does not, however, scrape a 10-result page 1 and a 10-result page 2. It scrapes a 20-result page 1.
If you look at 10-result SERPs and 20-result SERPs, you'll see that they're slightly different. It's much more likely that you'll see multiple results from the same domain on a 20-result SERP. So be aware that if SEMrush tells you that you own the #2, #3, and #4 spots for a given keyword, that's probably not true on the standard 10-result SERP.

Thanks Keri and CMC-SD - on my way to take a look at SEMrush

I rank #1 for "Use the shopping cart option available on most pages" but nobody ever searches that and it's nothing that would bring me any money. There's not a way to find out things you rank for but nobody searches, at least that I'm aware of, and it might not do you any good. Still, the others have some good suggestions here.

SEMrush can help with this. Once a month, they scrape the top 20 results for something like 95 million keywords, so you can see a great number of KWs you currently rank for, including KWs you might not have intentionally targeted or even thought of. It's not perfect, but it's potentially valuable information. Plus there's good PPC data as well, if you're doing that in addition to SEO.

Thanks Fred. Yes, it would be very useful to see where all your rankings are - I guess I can do a trawl through Google Analytics to see the keyphrases people are actually clicking through from, but it sure would be nice to be able to click a button and get a full run-down, for strategic reasons as much as anything (am I ranking for keyphrases which may be worth focusing on? Just found such a keyphrase this morning - never focused any effort on it because I imagined it was too competitive to bother with!).

I used to use Webposition Pro to establish the position of all my major keywords. Google is now quite specific that such tools as the aforementioned should not be used. I not perform this task manually. I am quite new to this site but it does allow you to check the position of some keywords

404's after pruning old posts
Hey all, So after reading about the benefits of pruning old content I decided to give it a try on our blog. After reviewing thousands of posts I found around 2500 that were simply not getting any traffic, or if they were there was 100% bounce & exit. Many of these posts also had content with relevance that had long ago expired. After deleted these old posts, I am now seeing the posts being reported as 404's in Google Search Console. But most of them are the old url with "trashed" appended to the url. My question is: are these 404's normal? Do I now have to go through and set up 301's for all of these? Is it enough to simply add the lot to my robots.txt file? Are these 404's going to hurt my blog? Thanks, Roman

What happens to a domain in SERPs when it's set to redirect to another?
We have just acquired a competing website and are wondering whether to leave it running as is for now, or set the domain to redirect to our own site. If we set up this redirect, what would happen to the old site in Google SERPs? Would the site drop off from results? If so, would we capture this new search traffic or is it a free for all and all sites compete for the search traffic as normal? Thanks in advance. Paul

Do links from twitter count in SEOMoz's Toolbar link count?
I am using the Chrome extension and looking at a SERP, when a page is said to have 2000 incoming links, does that include tweets with a link back to this page? What about retweets. Are those counted separately or as one? And what about independent tweets that have exactly the same content (tweet text + link)

Hello everyone, I am an SEO analyst - a good one - but I am weak in technical aspects. I do not know any programming and only a little HTML.

Secondly... about the topic of this particular question - I know that a website should have a flat architecture... but I do not know how to find out if a website's architecture is flat or not, good or bad. Please help me out on this... I would be obliged. Eagerly awaiting your responses, BEst Regards, Talha

Understanding Google's keyword tool...
When I type in Google a keyword like : boot camp I get results that show Bootcamp (one word) traffic in the tens of thousands. I see many words combined. Does this mean that tens of thousands of people every month are misspelling that keyword? How should I interpret this in terms of anchor texting? I would hate to deliberately misspell it on my website just to get traffic. For those interested, my website is: http://ultimatebasictraining.com/admin/ (currently revaming my http://ultimatebasictraining.com website)

Inspiration from today's WBF!
Hello and Welcome MozFriends! so I watched the WBF this morning, and I got the idea of making Keyword Tiers for a site like so. Site Products- wheelchair, Powerchairs, Hospital Beds, Lifts, Lift Chairs Specific Items- 16" wheelchairs, 4 wheel power chair, Patient lifts and such. The Keywords for the Front page would be very general not referencing the sites specific items at all. Like Medical Equipment, supplies things like that. Keywords for products would be the Manufacturers names, and the category name. Specific Items would have specific keywords to draw an audience that has a goal and is searching for that specific product. So my theory/experiment is this. Instead of making the whole site generate traffic for one type of audience, I am making certain tiers for certain audiences. The higher up in the Site Hierarchy the more global the keywords are designed for. It may just be complete and utter non sense but I would like to hear any thoughts on it if it works. Thank You Friends! Justin Smith

How long a domain's bad reputation last?
I catched a dropped domain with a nice keyword, but poor reputation. It used to have some malware on the site and WOT (site review tool available at Chrome among others) has very negative reviews tied to the site. I guess that Google has to have records about that as well, because Chrome used to prompt a warning when I entered the site. My question is: how long will the bad reputation last if I build a legitimate website there?
