Removing old URLs that are being used for my on page optimization?
-
Is there a way to remove old URL's that are still being used for my keywords for my on page optimization? They are giving me grades of F since they no longer exist and if I change the URL to the current one, the grade becomes an A, but they are still showing after the new crawl.

Hey there,
Thanks for the question. If you have some old deprecated URLs that On-Page is still trying to check, you can get rid of them by click the Stop Running Weekly button as seen here: http://www.screencast.com/t/r7HO1zkuS
You can then either wait for them to automatically be generated for ranking keywords or manually enter them into your On-Page Report Card.
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Joel. -
im nto sure i understand your answer, i sort of use both, if you go to your campaign there is the on page link, there it shows all keywords and the grades for all of them, for my keywords though its getting 2 grades, one for the correct url whihc is an A and one for the old url (same keyword) and thats an F, yes i can click on the wrong url and put in the right url and regrade it and I get an A but it sucks to look at my overall on page report and see dozens of grade F's. I want to clean that up but cant get seomoz to stop pulling the old url and the thing is the old url doesnt exist its a temp redirect to a standard page, so im wondering if I cant tell seomoz not to use a certain url in my on page ranking and save that data or delte a url or somehting so my overall report card had no F's, below is an example, the first url is redirected so not sure how seomoz is grading that or are they grading the redirected page? and if so can i stop that or do i need permanent 301 to solve that, i could 301 to the bottom url

You use this tool http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/on-page-keyword-optimization/new ? or are seeing your results from your campaign. It is very likely that if you see results from your campaign must wait a week to be corrected.

they are redirected but seomoz is still using them for my on page rankings. For example sometimes it shows the same keyword 2-3 separate times each with a different url yet I only have one active url for that keyword, the old ones that seomos is pulling are redirected and some seomoz is pulling the worng page entirely, not an old page but for example I have a for my product in brown but seomox is using my gold page for brown keyword so my main question is can we control or save what url seomoz uses for on page rankings

If the pages are no longer the best you can do is 301 redirects

How many keywords should I optimize a page for?
Hi, There is a lot of debate going on on whether to use a single keyword per page or multiple keywords per page. What I know for sure is that it is not advisable to repeat the same exact keyword in different pages. I need to optimize product pages, categories and pages for an online store and still do not know if it is better to: 1-work with one main keyword per page plus latent semantic keywords, 2-to optimize a page for multiple different keywords (2 to 4 keywords) which are strongly related to the main topic or to the product sold in a particular product page 3- use single keyword for each page (and no more than one keyword per page). Some seo gurus argue this is the best way to get higher ranking for that particular page in the serps. My personal opinion would be 1 or 2, but I would like to hear what you suggest and think about it. Any suggestion or opinion is welcome and appreciated. Thanks in advance

Why are http and https pages showing different domain/page authorities?
My website www.aquatell.com was recently moved to the Shopify platform. We chose to use the http domain, because we didn't want to change too much, too quickly by moving to https. Only our shopping cart is using https protocol. We noticed however, that https versions of our non-cart pages were being indexed, so we created canonical tags to point the https version of a page to the http version. What's got me puzzled though, is when I use open site explorer to look at domain/page authority values, I get different scores for the http vs. https version. And the https version is always better. Example: http://www.aquatell.com DA = 21 and https://www.aquatell.com DA = 27. Can somebody please help me make sense of this? Thanks,

What's better for SEO a page per review or a page with all reviews?
Was wondering what's better for SEO. We have a platform where consumers can read and write reviews. But the question is: is it better to give one page per company with all the reviews on it? Or should we have different pages for the specific company? Example: Itunes has a company page with all reviews on the page, but not the whole review. You have to click further to view the whole review (new page), at the moment this the current situation. What if we place the whole reviews on the company page, so you don't have specific pages for the reviews? Hopefully can someone help us out. Contact me if it's not clear or you want more extended information. Kind regards

Danger of over optimizing
We have all read about the dangers of over optimizing our sites. Specially in regards to the latest google update. Every time we created a new landing-page we typically made sure that the page get an A-grade using the SEOmoz On-Page Optimization tool. Does this mean its not a good idea to do this? Maybe aim for a less perfect score? Hope to hear from you Fredrik

How do you see a list of URLs with duplicate page titles?
When looking at the Duplicate Page Title report, the Other URLs column has various numbers that presumably indicate the number of pages that share the same title. When I click on one of these numbers, say a URL that shows 4 in that column, the next page reports "No sample duplicate URLs to report". Why isn't it showing me the other 3 URLs with the same page title?
