I have 702 'No-Index' warnings. Is this bad?
-
Moz has giving me 702 'No-Indexed Meta-descriptions' warnings. My page has quite a bit of product pages as it is a commercial chemical company which sells cleaning products for restaurants, hospitals, etc. Im wondering if this is effecting my site negatively?

Hi Scott,
As I've said before, having a lot of noindexed pages is not an issue.
What you should focus your efforts is in finding any mistakenly noindexed page.And yes, Yoast has a config that makes archive and tag pages noindex.
Hope it helps.
Best luck.

I am seeing the same issue, but mostly with archives and author pages. Same resolution? Check Yoast for index?

Hi there,
Cool that you are using Wordpress and YOAST, this could make the job a lot easier.
I´d recommend you analyzing every page that Moz flag as having noindex, then consider whether you want those pages to be indexed and shown in Google Search Results.So, as long as that pages have the noindex tag and that is correct, then you should not worry about that.
And again, having some pages noindexed _wont affect negatively_your sitewide SEO performance.
Hope it helps.
Best luck.

Hi Gaston,
The bulk of the issues are individual product pages. We are a chemical provider for restaurants, schools, commercial laundry products, etc. Its built primarily as a resource center for our service reps. and customers looking for a chemical provider and product information. (I would say very rarely would a customer search by name a product of ours). We aren't an e-commerce site. Our company is geared more primarily as a service company which offers chemical products and we service the machines, dispensers, inventory, and delivery. Our CRM is WordPress and Yoast is our SEO plugin (basic version).

Hi there,
Having pages with nonidex tag is perfectly normal, the thing is to be sure that you dont want those pages to be indexed.
Try checking up wich pages have that noindex tag and analyze whether its correct.Would you mind giving us more information about the website? how its built, wich CMS are you using? Have you installed any SEO plugin?
In regards to affect negatively, having pages with noindex wont hurt you. UNLESS, any of your importat pages are noindex.
Remember that a noindex tag is a really strong signal to Google and if present, then that page will not be shown in google search results.Hope it helps.
Best luck.

Magento Dynamic Pages Being Indexed
Hi there, I have about 50k Moz medium priority errors in my Crawl Diagnostic report. The bulk of them are classified as "Temporary Redirect" problems. Then if you drill into those further, I can see that the problem urls all kinda are center around: mysite.com/catalogsearch/result.. mysite.com/wishlist.. mysite.com/catalog.. Is this something I should disallow in my Robstxt file? And if so how specific do I get with it.. Disallow /catalogsearch/result/?q= Will listing the /catalogsearch be enough to cover anything after it? thanks

Batch lookup domain authority on list of URL's?
I found this site the describes how to use excel to batch lookup url's using seomoz api. The only problem is the seomoz api times out and returns 1 if I try dragging the formula down the cells which leaves me copying, waiting 5 seconds and copying again. This is basically as slow as manually looking up each url. Does anyone know a workaround?

If my keywords aren't driving any traffic to my site, why am I still ranking for them?
In several of our campaigns we have watched our keywords steadily climb the rankings without ever registering so much as a blip in the traffic data column. If these keywords aren't driving any traffic to our site, how are we still ranking for them?

Open Site Explorer Missing URL's

SEOmoz Crawl CSV in Excel: already split by semicolon. Is this Excel's fault or SEOmoz's?
If for example a page title contains a ë the .csv created by the SEOmoz Crawl Test is already split into columns on that point, even though I haven't used Excel's text to columns yet. When I try to do the latter, Excel warns me that I'm overwriting non-empty cells, which of course is something I would rather not do since that would make me lose valuable data. My question is: is this something caused by opening the .csv in Excel, or earlier in the process when this .csv is created?
