My title has a TM symbol and Moz says I don't have the keyword in my title
-
Moz gave me a poor rating because I don't have the keyword in my title but I do, it just has a trademark symbol.
Pelican 1500 Case is the keyword I'd like to rank for on this page: http://www.thepelicanstore.com/pelican-1500-case-1014.aspx
Moz says the keyword doesn't exist on the page. Should I ignore it, remove it or otherwise change it? I feel the trademark symbol would help with CTR in the title.
-
I am sure it is not seeing the exact match because of the TM, I am just wondering if it is something I should consider changing or ignoring. I will send an email right now Chris. Thanks!

Ignoring Moz's recommendation was what I was leaning towards, I just didn't want to assume. Every time "Pelican" is used, I have the TM symbol, I suppose I could exclude it in the body copy and sub headings to be sure.
-
Its likely because its attempting to find an exact match so if you have Moz tracking [Pelican] it won't see [Pelican
] as the same thing. -
Im not sure how the trademarked symbol would play into click through rates but when I put the url in screaming frog and checked the source code I can see the keyword in the title. You can also run a search by "site:thepelicanstore.com/pelican-1500-case-1014.aspx" and you can see the title showing up in Google's search results.
I would ignore the moz rating

Give a Solution my DA is not increasing and not index my backlinks in MOZ??
DA of my site is not increasing. It seems like Moz is not indexing my backlinks. Multiple backlinks of my site [ Tech Spotty ] is not indexing in Moz that is why DA is not increasing. Backlinks of my site have indexed in both Ahref and Semrush both not showing in Moz. DR has increased to 51 but DA is still 7. If anyone has the solution please let me know.

How is Moz DA affected by spam links? Disavow file?
So it does not appear that moz let's you upload your disavow file. So when moz calculates your DA how do spammy links factor in? After digging through our GA it appears our site was hit with the 2016 penguin update and never recovered. Our weekly visitors were 2k, then dropped to 500 and have stayed close to that level for a while. We've used the disavow tool, without success over the past 3 years. During that time we have done link out reach and built around 10 legit good quality DA links since. But we have not recovered. At this point i'm thinking I should just remove the disavow file. Moz says our spam score for our domain is 5%.

How long will it take for the changes we've made to reflect in Moz OSE spam score data?
I signed up for Moz to see the spam flags our site had triggered. As soon as I found out, we worked on it and have been trying to correct our mistakes but it's been more than a month and we've managed to neutralise zero flags. I would appreciate if someone can clarify how long the OSE data takes to refresh. Also, how do you combat the following three specific flags: Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Subdomains Ratio of Followed to Nofollowed Domains Low Number of Pages Found Crawl only gets a valid response to a small number of pages. Thanks.

Moz Spam Score
Hi! The spam score for my sites is "--" with no graph. The sites are large ecommerce sites with a ton of branded search and DAs of 50+. Simple question - are these clean spam scores, or has Moz not calculated the scores yet?

Not sure why the data on the reports is stale. Meaning it hasn't been updated since my purchase date. Hard to know if I am making any progress.
I am a MOZ Pro subscriber and I am not sure why the data on the reports is stale, meaning it hasn't been updated since my purchase date. Hard to know if I am making any progress. How often does the data update?

Moz & Other Sites Not Showing in Link Profile?
I'm curious to know why Moz, YouTube, G+ and some other links are not showing the OSE link profile as NOFOLLOW or DOFOLLOW for our website whiteboardcreations.com? When doing analysis, we see a lot of companies YouTube pages with their NF link and G+ page links and even see a lot of the Moz community members with their Profile pages showing the NF link or the DF links. I'm confused as to why OSE is not picking up any of our links from those respective sites. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance. - Patrick

How Is a Page Crawled by Moz When Moz Says 'No Links'?
As above, really. I've crawled a new client's site to find the Moz crawler has identified a handful of 404 errors. The Moz crawler says these pages have '0 linking domains', and OSE has no data for these pages. So how are these pages being crawled by Moz and what should I advise my client?
