On-Page Grader Levels
-
I see that On-Page Grader reports include a numerical number such as the following:
Keyword Usage for audio book gift certificates = 15
I improved this page (http://www.audiobooksonline.com/audio-book-audiobook-gift-certificates.html) from 3 to 15 today.
What is the maximum "grade" possible?

Hey Larry,
The numbers you mentioned are not a grade, they are a count of the number of times that the keyword is used. The maximum grade that you can receive is A.
To answer your second point, we actually do have a section to let you know when you are overusing a keyword. In the on page grad report there is a section labeled "Avoid Keyword Stuffing in Document", which will let you know if you are over stuffing a keyword.
Cheers,

Matt, Chris; Thank you for your comments.
Certainly I don't want to over include keywords into any of our pages.
The On-Page Grader report I received showing 15 uses of the keyword phrase made no mention that I was close to or had exceeded recommended usage. I would think that the On-Page Grader report would let me know if I was over using a keyword phrase. Correct?
Is there such a keyword use recommendation?
I don't see the "Factors Overview" box that Matt refers to.

Larry, don't crank that number up too high--it's not a grade, it's the number of times you used the keyword in each of the elements shown above the total. You really should be looking at a few times in the body and not more than once everywhere else.

Going on the on-page "Factors Overview" box near the top, the max appears to be 36.
But the number you refer to is simply a count of instances of the particular key phrase on the page, which as far as I know has no maximum - it's simply an indicator of what the crawl found for that URL - of course too high a keyword density leads to keyword stuffing and pages that are thoroughly unnatural to read!
We've long moved past the point where keyword density was the be-all and end-all of ranking, so beware trying to get it too high.
Check in the view-source of the page as some (Page Title, Meta Description etc) won't appear in an on-page search in browser if you're looking to confirm the value.

Blocked Resource in Google Index. SSL certificate blocking 718 pages seen in Google Search Console.
My google search console indicates that my SSL certificate is blocking Googlebot. I was wondering if the blocking of my SSL certificate to the GoogleBot is causing any issues. I I'm not sure if this was only blocked recently by Volusion (my host) as a means of accommodating my ssl certificate not being able to address the various url versions of my site, or is this just commonplace and not really harmful to my indexing. I tested one of these "blocked" urls in the robots.txt tester and it showed that the Googlebot was allowed. Could it be just the SSL certificate at the bottom of the page is blocked? Thanks

How can I find duplicate pages from a Moz Crawl?
We have many duplicate pages that show up on the Moz Crawl, and we're trying to fix these but it's very difficult because I can't see a way to isolate the code where the duplicate is found. For instance, http://experiencemission.org/immersion/ is one of our main pages, and the crawl shows one duplicate of http://experiencemission.org/immersion. It appears that one of our staff manually edited the source code in one of our pages but forgot the trailing slash. This would be an easy fix but the problem is that this page is linked to internally on our website 2423 times, so it's next to impossible to find the code that is incorrect. We have many other pages with this same basic problem. We know we have duplicates, but it's next to impossible to isolate them. So my question is this: When viewing the Moz Crawl data is there any way to see where a specific duplicate page link is located on our website? Thanks for any and all help!

The pages http://www.aignerart.com/abstracts-oil-painting/cicli-colora.html and http://www.aignerart.com/abstracts-oil-painting/murs-de-la-ville.html are marked duplicate but they are different paintings. Any ideas?0 -
On Page Grader not working on the fly
On Page Grader has this lovely little re-grade page button next to the URL and term field but it's never worked on the fly for me. What's going on here? You discover something critical, fix it and you want the satisfaction of re-grading to test it and get that A but it doesn't work. I can see the changes on the site so why not??

Is there a way to do a mass lookup of Page Authority?
Meaning, is there a way I could look at the Page Authority for 50 pages all in one place? Or do I need to use the MozBar and go page by page? Just looking to save some time. Thanks.
