SEOmoz bot and "noindex"
-
As a recent newbie to SEOmoz, I've been implementing some suggestions and doing a general tidy up.
I removed URL's from our robots txt, and rolled out instead the noindex meta tag to pages we don't want indexed.
But surprised to see issues that are now flagged from the last crawl by the moz bot from pages that have this meta tag?
Does the SEOmoz bot not ignore this tag? Just want to make sure I've implemented it correctly, so the google bot does ignore it.
Meta tag syntax is and is placed below the title tag.
cheers

aha! thanks, yep exactly the issue/
Seen the response from Aaron Wheeler
"so perhaps we should also exclude those noindex pages from issue calculation as well. That's in the next couple of months, though."
Think I'll drop them an email to remind them
At least it's not an issue then with our site. -
Apparently someone flagged something similar up in April:
Are you having the same problem?

Erroneous "Weekly Keyword Ranking & On-page Optimization Report" For Campaign
Hi, I just received an email alert from Seomoz telling me my "Weekly Keyword Ranking & On-page Optimization Report " for the period 11/06/12 - 11/13/12 is ready. It is just a copy of the previous report though, all rankings and ranking changes are the same. What is up with that? Best regards, Martin

Confusion about how SEOMOZ crawler works...
So according to my SEOMOZ dashboard, I'm ranking between #3-4 for one of my keywords. My keyword is 'Boston Wedding Photographer'. My site is http://www.symbolphoto.com I show up in google places, true. But i was wanting to rank organically. Am i right in the assumption that Google Places and Google Organic are not the same thing? SEOMOZ claims 3,4th but not organically(Assuming they aren't the same thing) I get pretty good traffic right now being in Places, but i can't help but feel that organically ranking would bring more traffic. Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated. TIA! -Brendan
