How do I address "Critical Factors: Accessible to Engines"?
-
Hello,I am going thru the on-page report card produced by SEOMOZ and am stumped as to how to address the first critical factor. It looks like the correct meta tag to get search engines to index the site is at the bottom of the header. And as far as I know, which isn't much, the site returns the HTTP code 200 when I refresh.I am new at this, so please let me know if you have some specific solutions. I am using IWeb and the IWeb SEO Tool to make meta code improvements. I have pasted the head code for my website (www.grass2greens.com) below.

I'm not exactly sure about the SEOMoz error - but your site is doing a strange redirect when I load it up, going to this URL:
http://www.grass2greens.com/Grass_to_Greens__Asheville_Edible_Landscaping.html
It looks like you've setup a CNAME in your DNS settings to do that - which could potentially be confusing the SEOMoz crawler. Any reason in particular you set it up that way? Most people just set their homepage to be www.domain.com/ and have domain.com redirect to www.domain.com using an 301 redirect.

Will including "Contact Me" form degrade Google page ranking?
I have a content-rich page about one of my offerings. Will Google knock down the ranking if I include a contact me reply form on the page vs including a link to a standalone reply page? My concern is that including the form will cause Google to downgrade the page as being "too commercial".

Is Article Length A Factor For Keyword Stuffing?
I've noticed that the SEOmoz On Page analysis tool sets a limit of 15 occurrences for a keyword on a page. It seems this is not dependent on the page length? Is that not relevant? Thanks!

Follow up on "Canonical Tag Placement - Every Page?"
