Pro Report Card Question
-
I am getting this warning in the Pro Report Card, my site is http://www.myfairytalebooks.com which seems to have Children's and not Childrens in the title.
Is it my site that needs to html encode in the title or is Report Card slightly broken?
Exact Keyword Usage in Page Title
Easy fix
<dl>
<dt>Page title</dt>
<dd>"Personalized Childrens Books Kids Music CDs Baby Books & Gifts."</dd>
<dt>Explanation</dt>
<dd>Search engines consider the title element to be the most important place to identify keywords and associate the page with a topic and/or set of terms. SEOmoz's correlation research has also shown that rankings are heavily influenced by keyword usage in the title tag.</dd>
<dt>Recommendation</dt>
<dd>Employ the keyword in the page title, preferrably as the first words in the element.</dd>

You can test it by searching for the keyword "Personalized childrens books". If you get the same message, then maybe you need to look further.
I think that you're most likely right and that it IS the apostrophe, but you can probably safely ignore it.

i would ignore it, Apostrophes offten cause problems in programmiing, i am sure thbat google knows its the same

Ryan,
Maybe, but this report is for a 3 word keyword "Personalized Children's Books" it seems to be saying that my title reads "Personalized Childrens Books" missing the apostraphe
Make sense?

That part of the report is very picky, if your keyword is not the first word in the title it gets upset. For example, I was getting a report on my optimization for "Adoption", and my title begins with "Open Adoption Services". The report said I should fix it.

Unsolved Does Moz Pro include Moz Local
My client has bought about six Moz Local accounts and are pleased with results. We have not yet used your Moz Pro program. The client might be interested in switching to the Moz Pro if those Moz Local accounts can be included into it. Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks!

Summarize your question.Is it possible to request another unscheduled crawl?
We have just sorted a couple of issues on the website which threw the crawl into spasm and gave us hundreds of hugely long URLs. We are pretty sure that we have corrected this and do not want to wait another week to check what SEOMOZ comes up with. Is there anyway that we can request a special crawl of the website so that we can hopefully just be left any legitimate remaining issues?

On Page Ranking Tool Giving Weird Reports
My on page ranking tool is giving two entirely different reports for my website - I get one report for my domain name and a different report for the index.html even though essentially both of those pages are...well...the same. Not sure what's going on, hoping it's not an indication of a more serious issue? I appreciate any help!

Is it possible to override the 10k pages crawl limit on PRO?
Hi There, Just signed up for PRO and I love it! We have a particularly large website (tons of content) and the 10,000 page limit is holding us back from getting really exhaustive analysis. Is there any way to up the limit for a single crawl? Thanks!

Site Ranking Report
Hi guys, My site ranking report says that I've gone from being 1-20 for a variety of keywords in Google UK to not in the top 50. When I do a search myself I see that my site remains where it previously was (between 1-20). How reliable is the site ranking reporting on a weekly basis? Is it best to look at it monthly?

OSE Advanced Reports best practices
I'm curious how people use the OpenSiteExplorer Advanced Reports tab. It seems very powerful. What do you use it for? In particular, I see that it has choices for 'same C block' and 'different C block'. Those seem useful to find C blocks that my competitors have links from that I do not, but I'm not totally clear on how to construct the query. Any help or best practices would be appreciated. Thanks!
