How to see SERPs the way that moz sees SERPs
-
I'm getting to grips with the New Keyword Explorer. I've found that one of my top keyword phrases has a 'Featured Snippet' result. However I'm struggling to see it in my own browser. Is there a clean way of viewing SERPs un enhanced by history, location etc?
I'd also like to see the other SERPs features - is that possible?
I'd like to be able to see the results as Moz clearly can view them!
Thank you Mozers

Hi Catherine
If you open an incognito window in chrome - top right, three dots where 'history' is then the browser will have a black background.
See Screenshot.
You can see there is a popup that says 'Google wants to know your location' Just hit 'Block'
You can see it's non-locational as there is no Google My business

I've cleared my history in chrome and logged out of Google. Google still knows my location and is giving me the local pack.
Does this matter? I was hoping to see the featured snippet that Moz's KWE has detected for the KWP but that is not showing. Is that because I'm seeing the local pack.
Googling how to turn off locations has just added to my confusion as there are so many possible ways of doing it!
Could you recommend a safe way to turn on and off locations?
Thanks
Catherine

Hi Catherine
The best way is to go to an incognito or private browsing window in either Chrome or Firefox and clear the history in both before proceeding.
Ignore any request to view your location and search. You will get a clear result devoid of location or browsing history.

What kind of search results are thos with this big video first result? Any tips how to achieve this? Something related with the views, video description?. I tested a few other similar queries, even big brands included in the search query and this kind of SEO result does not show up. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! qGwcE

Local Search Clean up Done. Now Best Way to Index?
I have spent hours doing some local search clean up and have a list of all the URLs to index, about 75. Is there a place I can dump these to get them all indexed quickly or do I have to wait for the hand of Google to come down and bless me with indexing. I don't want to dump all these to Google +, Facebook, or Twitter; that would just be wrong. Any ideas for fast indexing. I want them to all get indexed before the business address changes in a couple years 🙂

Rel Author Photo when does it show in SERPS
Hi,
Image & Video Optimization | | Ant71
Ive been using Rel author recently to get my Google+ photo showing up on Google serps. Can someone enlighten me to when people would and wouldnt see it. It appears on peoples results who live near me, however when someone 60 miles away does the same search he does not see the photo just the serps result. It is not a Google+ places entry, just your normal organic result. Any thoughts welcome 🙂0 -
What is the best way to embed a link back to our site in our video embed codes?
Our site has over 100 great videos. We are currently streaming them all from our YouTube channel. I noticed SEOMoz is using http://www.wistia.com and that when I copy and paste a video from SEOMoz that code has a link back to the SEOMoz site in it, which of course is awesome for SEO. My question has several parts: Is this possible to do with an embed code from YouTube? Specifically directed towards SEOMoz: Which of the 3 types of player did you choose, HTML5, Flash or javascript? Why? Is Wistia just creating a video feed, or are they actually hosting your video content too? Our goal is two-fold: 1. We want people who embed our videos to be also embeddding a link back to our site and 2. We want our videos to be found in SERPs and have those direct people to our site instead of our YouTUbe channel. I'd welcome any comments regarding video SEO in this thread. Thanks!

What are some effective ways to take up SERP real estate?
Hey Guys, I was wondering if you've seen or practiced some effective ways to take up real estate in the SERPS. Ideally I'd like to see more results from my own domain although I realize that G seems to only display 3 for any single domain. I'm looking for creative ways to take up more real estate other than subdomains. I recently saw a municipal website with 4 results (1 being a PDF) which suprised me. I have a couple in my head but what's worked best for you?
