Page title not being read
-
Hi all I have been testing my site with the Moz on page grader recently and every page seems to come up with the same issues. The keyword doesn't seem to be in the title tag or the title tag isn't there.
Could anyone tell me why this is?
This is an example of a page it is happening on https://www.sbat.com/tips/todays-free-horse-racing-tips
I used several versions of the Keyword including
free horse
Racing tips
Horse racing tips
and it seemed none of these were picked up.

Hmm, that is weird that they are not showing up. I would try submitting the URL into Google's URL submitter: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url
Hopefully by doing this, Google (and Moz) will index the correct title tags so when you use the Moz Page Grader it pulls the most accurate information.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for providing that additional information and I apologize for the delay.
I had a chance to look into this further and it looks like it is recognizing that you have these keywords in the Title, it's just making some additional suggestions around the placement of the keywords.
For example, when I ran a search in the On-Page grader for the URL https://www.sbat.com/tips/todays-free-horse-racing-tips and the keyword of "racing tips", the only thing it's returning a suggestion on is the placement of the keyword in the Title tag to be at the beginning. I also ran this same search in the Page Optimization tool within your campaign and the same suggestion came back there as well. It is recognizing that that keyword exists in the Page Title, however: http://screencast.com/t/04pn1vTDPUi and http://screencast.com/t/RQQDuo9CqF
I hope this helps! Please let me know if there's anything else I'm able to assist with.

This page should be crawled daily as it is updated daily. The title tags have been in the code for 2/3 months.
Thanks for looking though

Hi there - Kristina from Moz's Help Team here. It'd be helpful to know what keyword you were using to check your page with on the On-Page Grader in order to troubleshoot this for you. Can you update this post with that Keyword and I'll be happy to take a further look for you!
Thank you,

How long ago did you add that title? That page was cached by Google today, and the title shows up in search results. If you added it recently maybe MOZ hasn't picked up the change yet.

Site Crawl 1-page 301 status error but httpstatus.io says its 403
I am trying to run a site crawl for my website and MOZ is only resulting in 1 page crawled with the home page URL Status Code of 301. However when I run it in httpstatus.io it is giving me a 403 status error. Im curious as to why MOZ is saying its a 301 and httpstatus.io is saying 403. Is there anything I can do in MOZ first to get the site crawled before asking my developers to look into the 403 error?

How Can I Batch Upload URLs to get PA for many pages?
Howdy folks, I'm using advanced search operators to generate lists of long tail queries related to my niche and I'd like to take the batch of URLs I've gathered and upload them in a batch so I can see what the PA is for each URL. This would help me determine which long tail query is receiving the most love and links and help inform my content strategy moving forward. But I can't seem to find a way to do this. I went to check out the Moz API but it's a little confusing. It says there's a free version, but then it looks like it's actually not free, then I try to use it and it says I've gone over my limit even though I haven't used it yet. Anyone that can help me with this, I'd really appreciate it. If you're familiar with SEMRush, they have a batch analysis tool that works well, but I ideally want to upload these URLs to Moz because it's better for this kind of research. Thanks!

Blocked Resource in Google Index. SSL certificate blocking 718 pages seen in Google Search Console.
My google search console indicates that my SSL certificate is blocking Googlebot. I was wondering if the blocking of my SSL certificate to the GoogleBot is causing any issues. I I'm not sure if this was only blocked recently by Volusion (my host) as a means of accommodating my ssl certificate not being able to address the various url versions of my site, or is this just commonplace and not really harmful to my indexing. I tested one of these "blocked" urls in the robots.txt tester and it showed that the Googlebot was allowed. Could it be just the SSL certificate at the bottom of the page is blocked? Thanks

On-Page Grader URL inaccessible when copy/pasted but not when edited
Hi!, I've looked through multiple topics on this but none quite seem to fit what's going on - hopefully someone can help! I get the error message 'Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible.' when I copy and paste a url from my site into the search e.g. http://www.orbussoftware.com/enterprise-architecture/ However if I edit this to https the search completes fine. Since we redesigned our site approx 6 months ago, we've found most of our rankings have completely dropped off, and now I'm getting this error I'm wondering if it has something to do with how our site is structured? If I'm getting this error with Moz does that mean Google could be having issues too? Or is it all just a strange quirk? Thanks!

The Page Optimization tool keeps asking for several changes that are already in place! How can I get it to recognize them?
Hi there...the Page Optimization tool shows a 71 score for one of my pages, but the most critical needs it noted have already been in there for some time. What's the deal with this? Thanks...

Why do I get different results with On-Page Grader and Page Optimization tool? What is the difference between these two tools?
I use the Page Optimization tool to evaluate and make updates to a page until I get a grade of "A." But when I add the page and the keyword to the Page Optimization section of my campaign, it scores a 76% or 85% (which looks like a C or B to me). What would account for the difference in the evaluation results? Thanks for your help!

Is there anyway to track on-page grader grades for a site?
As opposed to going through the process of inputting the urls and keywords every couple of weeks, is there a way of Moz to send the scores for those keywords and the domain to which the url belongs?

MozBar "Page Load Time" result -140... seconds
Hello all, I have gone through a lot of work to optimize the page size and load time for my site (http://goo.gl/0SYrns) Here is the result: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/140618_6V_PDZ/ And my competitor (http://goo.gl/j7YBcn😞 http://www.webpagetest.org/result/140618_TN_PGP/ According to that tool (and many others) my site is considerably faster than his. However, when I check in the MozBar, the result for mu site is less than 0, around 1 second but his is -1403106240.403 seconds. So how do I get to such a result? I did everything, optimization, cds, etc...
