Hi
New to Moz, I'm finding it all very helpful and daunting at the same time. I've read heaps of Seo the Moz content and watched every Video I can find.
It's all going well and I've managed to get A's on some of my pages,
I was hoping some one cold tell me why this site (Link to screan grab http://tinypic.com/r/dnj9di/8 ) is way above me in the Google search results? It appears to be under performing me in Moz but in actual fact it is greatly out performing me in Google.
Any insights are more than gratefully received!
Thanks
Ben

Hi,
This may also be a local search issue? I have just done the same search (based near Leicester) and i get the following results...
So you are coming 3rd in the results... Try clearing your cache etc when doing the search and/or doing it in incognito window in Chrome. See if your results are different.

Hi
looking at their site http://www.funeral-catering-services.co.uk/ they don't even use the key word I used, "funeral caterers" and the word "Funeral" is only in the copy 3 times and "caterer" is not used once, This is so confusing!
Thanks for your reply

Hi,
My suggestion is that it is possibly to do with particular keywords. Someone may put me right on this but you could have higher ranks etc loads of link juice but if there are particular keywords that are well used by the offending site then it might be that.

Lag time between MOZ crawl and report notification?
I did a lot of work to one of my sites last week and eagerly awaited this week's MOZ report to confirm that I had achieved what I was trying to do, but alas I still see the same errors and warnings in the latest report. This was supposedly generated five days AFTER I made the changes, so why are they not apparent in the new report? I am mainly referring to missing metadata, long page titles, duplicate content and duplicate title errors (due to crawl and URL issues). Why would the new crawl not have picked up that these have been corrected? Does it rely on some other crawl having updated (e.g. Google or Bing)?

Adding new categories to my website and getting them ranked
Hi, I currently run a website and have added a couple of new categories lately. The website is Planes Trains Automobiles Co UK. For example I want to add "Planes for sale" as a new category. What is the best way to go about this? Will each aircraft added add content therefore ranking? I don't want to approach an SEO company yet as the service would be free for the time being? Thanks

What is the quickest way to get OSE data for many URLs all at once?
I have over 400 URLs in a spreadsheet and I would like to get Open Site Explorer data (domain/page authority/trust etc) for each URL. Would I use the Linkscape API to do this quickly (ie not manually entering every single site into OSE)? Or is there something in OSE or a tool I am overlooking? And whatever the best process is, can you give a brief overview? Thanks!! -Dan
