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.

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.

Using keywords in my URL: Doing a redirect to /keyword
My website in "On Page Grade" received an A.Anyway, I only have 1 thing to optimize:_"Use Keywords in your URL__Using your targeted keywords in the URL string adds relevancy to your page for search engine rankings, assists potential visitors identify the topic of your page from the URL, and provides SEO value when used as the anchor text of referring links."_My website is ranking in top10 for a super high competitive keyword and all my others competitors have the keyword on their domain, but not for my URL.Since I can't change my domain for fixing this suggestion, I would like to know what do you think about doing a 301 redirect from / to mydomainname.com/keyword/So the index of my website would be the /keyword.I don't know if this can make a damage to my SERP for the big change ir it would be a great choice.

Newbie question - Optimize homepage or create new page?
Hey everyone! I'm new here and wondering if anybody could help with a question. I'm trying to optimize for the keyword "meet people". I've attached a screenshot of the Moz SERP report for the top 10 results for this keyword for Google (UK). Unfortunately my domain doesn't make the top ten - we're currently raked 11th. My domain - tastebuds.fm - has a domain authority of 53 and the homepage has a page authority of 61 which is way way above the scores for the 1st placed result. What am I doing wrong? Should I focus on competing using a page that contains the keyword eg. http://tastebuds.fm/meet-people OR should I work on improving the 11th place of my homepage by tweaking the content? Bear in mind I already have an A grade for on-page optimization of the homepage for the keyword in question. If I decided to optimize a new page... how long would it take before I ranked well for the page if the only place it was linked was from the homepage? Also what should I put on this new page? Our homepage already converts well so should I duplicate it somehow? 4ENqCPz.png

How important is it to include the target keyword phrase in the page URL?
If I want to target a keyword phrase to a particular phrase, but do not want to change the URL of that page, will that negatively impact my rankings? I am also wondering if I can get around it by creating a new, short URL that 301 redirects to the original URL. Would that be as effective as including the keyword in the original URL?

Keyword in URL
Hi everyone, I've heard many times that keyword prominence in url have a good impact for on-page optimization, even in SEOmoz it is one of the on-page factors. But what if i put keyword in URL then some of the page weight will be targeted to the page in the URL. Which in my vision makes only a negative impact. For ex. Targeted page <a>with keyword "buy car in NY" has a link with anchor text "buy car in NY" pointing on page **, so some weight from A will be transferred to B. Also I think this subject cover a cross linking, so I would like to know, what is the right way of doing cross linking and does it still brings any impact on keyword rankings in SERP.**</a> <a>**Good answer will be appreciated. Cheers, Russel**</a>
