Question About On Page Grades
-
New to the whole SEO game in some aspects and wanted to know about on page grades.
Some of the pages I got ranks of F for are actually in the top 10 in Google. Could anyone help me to explain way these pages/tags are F's with those rankings?

I agree with everything from Dan, but I wanted to add the following: I was in the same boat as you a few months ago, when I got my first report. If you're like me, you're next step might be "should I touch a page, if it's ranking well?" I optimized all the other pages first, and then, eventually decided to go ahead and optimize the ones that were ranking well, too. I was nervous this would somehow hurt my rankings, but it didn't. Everything stayed the same or moved up where possible. At least, now I know, I have that step taken care of in case someone else starts trying to go after the same keywords.

Hi
Probably because there is not much competition for the keywords they are ranking for
A good seomoz grade report does not determine that you will get a good ranking, just that a page with an A grade is more likely to achieve better rankings than a page with an F grade (since an A grade means page is more relevant for the target keyword than a page with an F grade). This is also considering all other factors to be equal (which they never are of course). So for example a page graded F but has lots of high quality links from good quality content pages on high authority websites, may well rank higher than a page on a different site that has an A grade that doesnt have any good quality links, from high quality websites
Hope that helps ?
All Best
Dan

Disavow Question
Hey, In webmaster tools i have 520 domains linking to my site and i disavowed some today, when i was done it said "you successfully uploaded a disavow links file with 75 URLs and 0 domains". First question, did i do this right? Second question if a site is linking to me on multiple pages on their site do i have to disavow each link or just the domain is enough. When i download the all links to my site it was around 5,000 from the 520 domains. I appreciate the help.

Redirecting https pages
If I add 301 redirects from the https versions of the root domain to the http:www.website.com (canonical version), will this prevent users from being able to access the https version? I believe the https version is only accessed once users log into the site. Thank you!

Please review page for on page SEO
I'm working on an adult dating site review blog and am hoping to build links to the category pages. It's a wordpress blog so the posts are categorised by topics. However can you tell me if there is enough content on the page for google to identify what the page is about? The problem is that the content of each category pages is pulled from the posts. What I think is needed is some static text on the page 2-300 words that use the keyword. Here's an example of a page targeting the keywords 'online dating'. http://www.top-10-dating-reviews.com/category/online-dating/

My website is saying I have duplicate page content and page title. How do I fix it?
Hi, I created a website on webstarts.com. After I launched it then ran a scan through SEO it says I have duplicate page content and page title. The 2 pages it is reading are technically the same page. www.mobilemowermedicsinc.com and www.mobilemowermedicsinc.com/index . I am unsure how to get rid of on of these as it keeps saying this is an error in the SEO scan. Could someone please advise me of what to do from here. Thanks!

Third party pages
Suppose you are using a third party tool such as an affiliate program. Typically, all the files are organized under one subdirectory. In addition, you may have little or no ability to modify any of the files in terms of SEO. Would you recommend hiding the entire subdirectory with a noindex? Best,
