Why is the Average Position in the Queries view of Google Analytics SEO report so different on each query from the position shown by SEOmoz?

The position provided by SEOmoz is through a query in a unpersonalized search + using a specific tld.(.com/ca/uk)

What Google provide in the SEO reports in GA is an average of one query or multiple queries also and based on users which they may have personalized results on or off ( and this might affect your rankings )

hence the difference.

hope this helps

Meta Robots query

Hi guys, I was ranking really well on my home page for certain keywords which has all dropped pretty dramatically over the last 3/4 weeks - I think the issue is since since the configuration of Yoast SEO Wordpress plugin. In March (when my rankings were strong) my crawl test showed the top data in the attached image, and in May (now the rankings have dropped severly) they show the bottom data. I don't fully understand canonical and Meta Robots so I am hoping someone can shed some light on the following points. 1. Will the change result in my loss of rankings.
2. How can I put it back to how it was in March? PS. I haven't had any Google penalties. Thanks,

Domain authority get down significantly. Internal MOZ Issue? Google Algoritm Update?

I've noticed that several websites have lost DA since middle of october. I attached a picture. Could be this a MOZ internal issue like happened a time ago? Not only the DA get down, I have lost C-blocks links, too
I check in http://health.moz.com/ and found this Crawl Services Outage: http://health.moz.com/incidents/fbn00m7xxzx2
But not appear to have direct relation with my question.
Or may be a google algoritm update? 3anVE5J.png

How can a site not indexed on google still have 40+ Page Authority on OpenSiteExplorer?

Hey guys, I was revisiting the backlinks to my site and found a few that were not indexed on Google anymore. I confirmed this by typing site:"SiteAddress" in google and it retuned 0 result. Yet when i searched the same site on OSE (OpenSiteExplorer) yielded me a PA of over 40. I used to research sites on OSE to see if they are worth pursuing for a backlink but i am second guessing this because of this recent finding. Can someone please shed some light on this? Thanks!

Can I prevent some pages from being crawled from SEOMoz spider and still not affect Google Spider?

Well, basically that's the question 😄 Can I prevent some pages from being crawled from SEOMoz spider and still not affect Google Spider? This is, I have more than 10.000 pages on the website, and I am not interested in having reports for many of them, but I still wanna get SEO visits on them, so I want Google to crawl it easily... Thanks!

Www, non www, 301 redirects, Google webmaster tools & SeomozPro

arg! Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated! This is in regards to sheffieldfurniture .com In October of 2011 I had our host set up a redirect for our site so all non www requests would be redirected to the www version and it works great (so it seems at least) Recently I signed up for SEOMOZPRO and when I started trying to track my organic results for various keywords I realized that Google has my site indexed in the non www format. Is this a problem? I’ve read you can tell google what your preferred domain is in Google Webmaster Tools, is that what I should be doing? Are there any negatives to doing that? I’m just confused as to why Google hasn’t noticed or acknowledged the redirect in 4 months. It makes me wonder if something isn’t working properly? I have since added a second SEOMOZPRO campaign with the non www version but I’m worried about having historical tracking issues if I then tell google to use the www version…
