Competitor analysis, why they rank so much better [ecommerce/Magento]
-
For a Dutch e-commerce website, we're having some issuse being found & ranked on important keywords. I have done a detailed view into the content & technical part (html) of our website and a competitor's site.
Our site is www.hond.nl (hond is the Dutcn noun dog, the best domain we could get)
Competitor: www.obobo.nl (no meaning at all)For searches for instance by dogfood (Dutch: "hondenvoer") we rank really bad while our competitor ranks really well. I've gone trouch the moz-tools intensively but can't figure out why. We got more content, more self-written texts, more incoming root-domain links etc.
Any ideas were we could get a solution?
Seems that our Splash pages are doing "ok" but especially Category pages are listing badly.

Sorry! It may be that your IP address is not allowed to access our site. We had an issue with spam a while back that made us have to turn up security a bit.
If you PM me your email address, I will send a PDF directly there.

For the hondenvoer keyword, it looks like you both have well-optimized pages for that, but your competitor www.obobo.nl has external links going directly to their www.obobo.nl/honden/hondenvoer.html page and your www.hond.nl/hondenvoer.html does not have any external links directed to it. While it's always hard to say for sure, those external links could be making the difference in your competitor's favor and might be a good place to start.
I took a peek at your account and does look like you are outranking your competitors on many other keywords - cheers to that!

@David-Kley, your website is unreachable for me!

I would do a full competitve analysis of your site vs theirs. If you are seeing that much of a ranking difference, most likely there is something you are missing. A few months ago we wrote an article on how to do a full competitive link analysis. Might help you getting started.

(301 Redirect) Link Spam Score: 10/17
Hi everyone, I'm looking for a specific answer, so I'll give some specifics to help get some information. https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fgpstrackit.com%2F&filter=&source=external&target=page&group=0&page=1&sort=page_authority&anchor_id=&anchor_type=&anchor_text=&from_site= After looking through Open Site Explorer we've noticed one of the links from login.gpstrackit.net has a 10/17 spam score. https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/spam-analysis/flags?subdomain=login.gpstrackit.net This link is a 301 redirect from a previous login URL, so users can be redirected to our current site and login from there. I don't know how to approach this situation or what the correct fix is. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Campaign shows website links from Https. My site is not https but http:// HELP
When looking at my web campaign, I have inbound links pointing from every page located on my menu from https:// I do not have an https. website in any way. The weird part is that when I click on the link, it is a replica of my homepage, although in text only format. I have attached a picture for reference. Why and how could my top links be coming from this? I do not have any inbound links non https:// from my website Thank you! BNHHc5u

DA/PA Question
Hello Mozzers, May be a noobish question but I've learned to ask when I stuck. Can we calculate how many links we need to get for example a domain authority of 40. Like can we say, if we get 8 more 80+ DA links, our own DA rises to 40. I know DA/PA are just moz numbers and it takes a lot more to succeed, but I thought about it and now I want to know it;) Help is highly appreciated!

How can Ahrefs be better than OSE ?
Dear Sirs and Contributors, I know this question is going to cause revolution, but I am paying for a subscription to moz every single month and I see that Open Site Explorer doesn't find baacklinks for some of my new clients when aHrefs can find more than 16 !! Why is this ? How can a free tool like ahrefs give me more information than OSE for which I pay for ? ;-(

Is there some way to tell the Moz crawler not to crawl URL's with particular dynamic tags such as "?redirect-to:http//" ?
We are encountering an issue where the crawler is finding a ton of pages from our wordpress login url that has this dynamic tag in it to kinds of different blog entries. It's madness. I can't figure out what is causing these URLs to generate to be crawled in the first place! Does this sound familiar to anyone out there, any constructive suggestions? Robots text or maybe meta robots tags that would resolve this crawl issue?
