Can someone explain the attached on page error message?
-
Two weeks ago, I took down our mobile site and switched to one on dudamobile. However, for some reason, I keep getting this error/improvement message on my on page report. I do not see how I can have a cannocial problem with a page that is no longer there. Can someone explain that and what I can do about it?
Thanks!

Whoops sorry Mike ninja'd me so you have two of the same answers but at least you know the answer is correct this way!
haha

So I'm not sure how dudamobile works in this regard (although I am currently developing a site through their service so this is relevant to my interests) but I do know how canonical tags work.. In looking at the page in question I'm seeing two different canonical tags. One points to the desktop page and the other points to the mobile page. This is a mistake and will prevent either page from being indexed, just as this warning from dudamobile reads. (*PROPS to dudamobile for catching these types of things!)
I can't see the source for your mobile page as it automatically redirects me to the desktop version when I try to access it but basically you want that one to canonical to the desktop site and the desktop site to canonical to itself (or nothing, really.)
But by no means should you canonical the desktop version to the duplicated mobile version of the same page and vice versa. This will cause neither page to be listed in SERPs.
Hope this helps!

It appears that your problem is that you have 2 canonical tags. One referencing the desktop site and one referencing the mobile site.
Remove the /mobile/clearwater/bankruptcy-clearwater-lawyer-attorney.html tag from that page and you "should" be good to go.
Hope this helps,
Mike

Source page showsI have 2 h1 tags on my page. I can only find one.
When I grade my page it says I have more than one h1 tag. I view the source page and it shows there are two h1 headings with the same wording. If I delete the one h1 heading I can find, the page source shows I have deleted both of them. I don't know how to get to the other heading to delete it. And I'm off page one of google! Can anybody help? Clay Stephens

How do you explain this in this Keyword Difficulty Report?
Hello here, I am trying to understand how my site virtualsheetmusic.com can better compete for the keyword "sheet music download" where we used to be 3rd until a few months ago, and now we are at the 5th spot. But here is my specific question: I can't find an explanation why two of our competitors are ranked before us at the 3rd and 4th spot. Please, look at the attached image (very wide) which shows the Keyword Difficulty Report for this keyword. You can also download a PDF of it here below: http://www.virtualsheetmusic.com/storage/keyword-sheet-music-download.pdf We are at the 5th spot, and the two competitors highlighted in pink are the ones I am talking about: I am trying to understand why they are ranking better than us, despite our metrics look much better than theirs. In fact, if I look at the metrics in the report, I can't find an explanation to justify their outrank against us, so there must be something else that the report is missing. Any thoughts about this issue are very welcome! Thank you in advance for any help. Sincerely,

Sudden increase in on-page links
Within one week, the site crawl shows my on-page links going from ~10 to ~100+ Does anyone know of a rational reason for this? Sucuri shows my site is clean, so I don't think it's a hack. 10 seems too low to begin with anyway. Any ideas? Thanks 🙂

"Issue: Duplicate Page Content " in Crawl Diagnostics - but sample pages are not related to page indicated with duplicate content
In the crawl diagnostics for my campaign, the duplicate content warnings have been increasing, but when I look at the sample pages that SEOMoz says have duplicate content, they are completely different pages from the page identified. They have different Titles, Meta Descriptions and HTML content and often are different types of pages, i.e. product page appearing as having duplicate content vs. a category page. Anyone know what could be causing this?
