Significant Benefits from KW Usage
-
We're wondering how important it is to use a keyword at least 4 times versus say 2. Often times we use our keywords once or twice within the body of our pages with appropriate H1 and Alt text use.
Will we notice significant SEO benefits by using the KW at least 4 times given that we are scoring 'A's on almost all our pages via the On-Page Keyword Optimization Tool?
Thanks!

Using the keyword 4 times instead of 2 in your body content will probably do nothing. If you simply add to your existing content and include the keyword 2 times in the new content you are adding, then yes, you could get some benefit there. But if all you do with your existing content is swap phrases, you won't change much with Google. They already know what your page is about. So the only way you could help would be to add more targeted, keyword rich content to what is already there.

Moz Reporting a brand page as KW stuffed for the the brand KW, not a problem i presume ?
Hi if I'm getting a keyword stuffing warning on Moz for a brand page for the brand name kw that shouldn't really matter should it? Moz just oversimplifying it since seen the brand name says 27 times on a page think it's stuffed, but if its a 2000 word page all about the brand, those occurrences are totally natural & hence Google will think so too generally speaking? Thanks Dan

How do Moz tools handle signs for "PHRASE" and [EXACT MATCH] KW queries?
Hello, As some of my projects are in competitive niche markets, I often chase exact match KW to handle with.

Ranking result's and are however different and seems to correspond to different type of KW search ( which type of KW all its. Please share some light on this.

On Page Report - To Much Alt. Text Keyword Usage
I ran a Moz on page report for our Roho Cushions page using the keyword Roho Cushions. I found "keyword stuffing" within the page, mainly from alternate text on images. The report told me I have 45 IMG ALT keywords & 28 Body Keywords. I cannot find the keywords I've used in the body, and if I inspect any image element, the keyword is not used as alternate text. I've ran this report multiple times in the past 2 weeks and have come up with the same results. Does anyone have any solutions? Thanks!

Amount of Pages Crawled Dropped Significantly
I am just wondering if something changed with the SEOMoz crawler. I was always getting 10,000 or near 10,000 pages crawled. After the last two crawls I am ending up around 2500 pages. Has anything changed that I would need to look at it see if I am blocking the crawler or something else?

This Rookie needs help! Duplicate content pages dropped significantly.
So I am pretty new to SEO Moz. I have an e-commerce site and recently did a website redesign. However, not without several mistakes and issues. That said, when SEO Moz did a crawl of my site, the results showed A LOT of Duplicate Content Pages on my site due to my having one item in many variations. It was almost over whelming and because the number of pages was so high, I have been trying to research ways to correct it quickly. The latest crawl from yesterday shows a drastic drop in the number of duplicate content pages and a slight increase in pages with too long page titles (which is fixable). I am embarrassed to give the number of duplicate pages that were showing but, just know, it's been reduced to a third of the amount. I am just wondering if I missed something and should I be happy or concerned? Has there been a change that could have caused this? Thanks for helping this rookie out!

All my opensiteexplorer params are far higher than my competitor. On the exact keyword I'm ranked #3, wikipedia ranked #2, he's ranked #1. Cant figure out why is that. I've tried copying his links profile, linking from same site he does. Had partial success but my links profile is far larger in terms of quality and content. My page is graded "A" by seomoz tools. Attached my OpenSiteExplorer screenshot. I'm wondering what are your thoughts on that. Regards,
