How does Moz identify which keywords are evident on page and how many that can be on that page.

Can any of these identified keywords lie on any other pages within site and to what degree-thanks

Hey there!

Thanks for reaching out to us!

We recognise exact matches found within the source code of your page. We struggle with parsing Javascript so typically the Keywords are found within HTML.

Feel free to reach out to help@moz.com with any further questions.

Best,

Eli

Why is on-demand crawl reporting numbers that are very different than the regualr site crawl by Moz?

When I look at the site crawl available through my dashboard, it reports 22.9K pages crawled. I just ran a on-demand crawl and it is only reporting 6K pages crawled. Why is the number so much lower?

Strange insight "tracked keywords" from Moz

Hi there, I was wondering if somebody is seeying the same problem. Since a couple of days i got a new keyword insights in my mail and i've seen some strange things for two accounts. The branded keywords are dropped lower then position 51. The thing is that i got an insight, i checked it in my private mode and the branded keywords are still there. Other keywords are still ranking, and there is no effect on my traffic. There is no connection between the sites. One has a couple of links and the other a lot. One has a very good page with nice optimalisation and the other has no text. So it couldn't be over-optimalisation and incoming links...
Does anybody have the same problem? Greetings,
Niels

Are we actually getting accurate data on keyword volumes from Moz (or other sources)?

I have a client who does patio furniture repair and restoration. When performing keyword research in Moz for terms like "patio furniture repair" I see that only 11-50 people in the entire US are searching for this term according to the Moz data. However, running an Adwords campaign currently and our top keyword is the phrase match for "patio furniture repair" which has generated over 100 clicks in just a couple of months in ONE county. Is there a better way to research more accurate results on search volume estimates? This makes organic SEO and keyword targeting hard! Thanks, Ricky

Duplicate Page Content

The site crawl is registering duplicate page content for our storefront site, but the pages aren't the same. They're ascending pages within the same category (ex: Featured, Featured pg2, Featured pg3, and so on). What can be done to fix these errors or prevent them in the future?

902 Error and Page Size Limit

Hello, I am getting a 902 error when attempting to crawl one of my websites that was recently upgraded to a modern platform to be mobile friendly, https, etc. After doing some research it appears this is related to the page size. On Moz's 902 error description it states: "Pages larger than 2MB will not be crawled. For best practices, keep your page sizes to be 75k or less." It appears all pages on my site are over 2MB because Rogbot is no longer doing any crawling and not reporting issues besides the 902. This is terrible for us because we purchased MOZ to track and crawl this site specifically. There are many articles which show the average page size on the web is well over 2MB now: http://www.wired.com/2016/04/average-webpage-now-size-original-doom/ Due to that I would imagine other users have come up against this as well and I'm wondering how they handled it. I hope Moz is planning to increase the size limit on Rogbot as it seems we are on a course towards sites becoming larger and larger. Any insight or help is much appreciated!

Onpage Grader not Finding Keyword in URL

I've noticed that the Onpage Grader is not including my keyword in the URL when the keyword is in the domain. If I grade an inner page and the keyword is in the sub-directory, it finds it. Is this intentional? If so, why does the grader not include my keyword in the domain as Keyword in the URL?

Keyword Difficulty and Analysis

Hi There - I'm using MOZ's keyword difficulty and analysis tool to understand the difficulty of a given set of keywords. To my surprise- I appear number 1 on Google, for a keyword with a difficulty of 36% On the other hand, for few other with difficulty in range 16% - 25%, I appear on the second or third page. In regards to page optimization, and back links i'm far better off on these ones than the other one (with 36%). Any reason why that would be the case ? PS: I've already analyzed the possibility of DA or PA, but it doesn't make sense. As the latter ones always scores better. Thanks, K
