On Page Optimization, F on all keywords?
-
On our website we have all F's even though we have the targeted keyword in the title, url, meta desc, h1, body and some of the img alt's. They still show zero uses of the keyword. Are we missing something here or is this some kind of bug or glitch? Any help or advice is appreciated, Thanks.
Keyword: 2015 Toyota Tundra Hilton Head

Looks like our host solved the problem. They mentioned they were blocking the rogerbot crawler. Anyone have an idea of how long we have to wait until the page grades and other info updates in our dashboard?
-
All F's.
Looks like our site devs have fixed the issue. I just ran the page grader and we received an A. I guess we wait until Moz crawls our site again to see our updated info.
-
Have you ever been able to see a non-all F report from Moz? If so, I would see what has changed since then. But yes, your developers should be able to give you the answers you are looking for.
-
I would start with contacting the developers and ask them if they have any clue about it Daniel. Failing that, without having a good root around, it's hard to say at a glance what is going on. There certainly are a lot of more general site issues.

Any ideas of where we should start to narrow down this issue?
-
We are also receiving these issues as well. Seems like its a hit or miss with the crawling.
-
I suspect this is either a permissions problem in the site structure or an issue in .htaccess, neither which we can see.
Aside from some messy code, issues on the cosole log and iframes on the page, I can't see that these would cause the problem because the pages are being cralwed and indexed.

Even the robots.txt page is 403...
-
I get a 403 for every page in the site. Is there something with your host that is blocking crawlers?
Edit-- OK , so it isn't something with your host as I tried to crawl another site on the same server, and that works without issue.

This is our robots.txt file, everything looks normal. Now that you say that, I do notice in our dashboard we have a high amount of crawl issues. At least 1 on each of our campaigns.

We receive a lot of traffic queries from our business name, our physical location name along with the make of vehicles our dealership carries, and quite a bit from year/make/mode/location. (2015 Toyota Tundra Hilton Head)
-
When I try that page in the on-page grader, I get "Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible. " If I put that URL into Screaming Frog, I see it is 403 (forbidden). I can see the page when I enter it into a browser, however.
It seems that something is blocking robot access to this page (although I do not see a robots exclusion)...
-
This might be an aside to the main issue, but this is a search phrase. Do your customers or webusers, actually search for this phrase?
I haven't drilled into this any more, but would be very interested to know which bit of the keyword they would be searching for.
Phrases are really hard to get a good score on in my experience

Here you go! I have also attached a screen shot of the page grader which gives me an error no matter what URL I input.
-
I don't see any reason it wouldn't be pulling the page in. Maybe check on the spelling of the keyword? If you have the right URL and the right keyword, it could be a bug, but hard to say at this point. We might be able to help more with a screenshot.

How many keywords should I optimize a page for?
Hi, There is a lot of debate going on on whether to use a single keyword per page or multiple keywords per page. What I know for sure is that it is not advisable to repeat the same exact keyword in different pages. I need to optimize product pages, categories and pages for an online store and still do not know if it is better to: 1-work with one main keyword per page plus latent semantic keywords, 2-to optimize a page for multiple different keywords (2 to 4 keywords) which are strongly related to the main topic or to the product sold in a particular product page 3- use single keyword for each page (and no more than one keyword per page). Some seo gurus argue this is the best way to get higher ranking for that particular page in the serps. My personal opinion would be 1 or 2, but I would like to hear what you suggest and think about it. Any suggestion or opinion is welcome and appreciated. Thanks in advance

Front page, keyword strategi?
Hi, Should the front page target a mixture of the most important keywords for the whole site (on page optimization)
On-Page Optimization | | Agguk
Or should we choose 1 or a few that are extra important/natural and optimize for this?
Each important keyword already has it´s own dedicated page (single keyword optimized)
...so either way the front page would "compete" against another internal page on a specific keyword, but maybe that´s the wrong way of looking at this?
Almost all external backlinks are pointing to the front page so I guess that´s the real strength of the front page but it does not provide in depth good value for a specific keyword. Thanks!/Anders0 -

Ranked page is not desired page
I have a question on a problem I am currently faced with. There is a certain keyword that my employer wants to rank for. The good news is that sometimes it does rank in the top 5 pages of Google. (It drops in and out) The bad news is that it is going to a page that we need to keep, but not the ideal place we want people who are looking for that keyword to go to. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this type of situation and what tactic they used to get people to the better page.

Page Analysis - Helping Product Pages Outrank Search Results Pages
Hi! We have a lot of our search results pages that have been indexed and outrank our product pages and in some instance the actual product pages barely show up at all. Here is an example query that includes our brand name: http://goo.gl/cgB6W So, we have loads of actual product pages, video pages, etc that should be showing up here, but are not and this is just one example. Unfortunately, there are a LOT of these Search Results pages out there and utlimately we would love to de-index them altogether, but it's going to have to be carefully done. So, was wondering if anyone would want to check out one of our product pages and give any feedback as to what we could change to possibly improve rank or to make them more search friendly or hopefully to help them rise above these indexed search results pages? Here is an example product page: http://goo.gl/2R4IT Thanks!! Craig

Autogenerated pages
My main product is database conversion software. As it supports tons of databases, it's fairly easy to generate thousands of landing pages simply by variating source/target database names, connection information etc. In fact, I autogenerated almost 25k pages that way. As I didn't want to jeopardize my main site, I placed all that content to a new microsite (www.fullconvert.com) which had no history and no inbound links. Results were nice - site is live two months and in second month already had 1300 visitors. Now, my question is - should I create the same thing on my (old and rather authoritative) main site www.spectralcore.com? I could use a different template to avoid duplicate content. Of course, my main concern is being penalized by Google. In my opinion, this autogenerated content is fine because it provides (tons of) laser-focused landing pages, so visitors will instantly recognize they found what they're looking for. But Google might disagree! What do you think? Is there a danger in trying to leverage authority of my main site in adding 20k+ autogenerated pages with inbound no links to them?

How to avoid keyword stuffing on e-Commerce Category pages
Hi, I'm optimizing a large, consumer electronic e-commerce superstore. Based on client's choice of keywords, I'm using product category pages as my target urls. Because of the proprietary CMS structure, product names and titles, featured on my landing pages (product category pages) create a keyword overkill, affecting various ranking factors. For example, one of the target urls / landing pages, dedicated to a specific product category, mentions the keyword over 190 times because of so many product titles in the "body" section. Would inline "rel="canonical" help? If yes, what part of the website should it "canonize"? If rel="canonical" is not the answer, what strategies would you suggest? Thanks!

Page Rank
I had just made a 301 re-direct on one of our product pages which had a PR of 4, now that Google has indexed the new page, it's now got a PR of 0, i'm struggling to understand why this could be, i know that you may see a drop of 1, which has happened in the past, but this drop just does not make sense. Any ideas of why this could be? Kind Regards
