Hey,
I'm new to seoMoz and this is my first question (so far it's been great!).
Short summery, I got a website in a specific nitch in google IL, my website is 2 years old.
All my opensiteexplorer params are far higher than my competitor.On the exact keyword I'm ranked #3, wikipedia ranked #2, he's ranked #1. Cant figure out why is that.
I've tried copying his links profile, linking from same site he does. Had partial success but my links profile is far larger in terms of quality and content.
My page is graded "A" by seomoz tools.
Attached my OpenSiteExplorer screenshot.
I'm wondering what are your thoughts on that.
Regards,
Oleg. -
Oops, you're right about the 200, fixed to a proper 404.
Another related issue might be there you might have an advice for, what would you do with the 30 tags in the footer? nofollow, robots, removing the whole block or keeping it as it is - do follow links?
Regards,

thats hard to say, it will be affecting your ranking , but how far is your compeditor ahead of you .
blocking by robots is not going to help. in your code it will be worse, as your links will be leaking into the unknown. A un-necessary redirect can lose you about 15% of uyou link juice, but linking to a page not in the index will lose you 100%.
blocking in robots is a last resoirt for serious problems.
My advice is to take the block out and try to address the redirects and broken links.
it is hard for me to know whats going on as i cannot read hebrew. One other thing, your 404 pages returns a 200, this is what they call a soft 404, you need to fix that also.

My website is solar.org.il.
Do you think the reason for my lower ranking is Link Juice Leaks?
I've tried to blocking it by robots.txt.
-
One more think, http://solar-israel.co.il/ has canonical domain issues, it ios also reachable using http://www.solar-israel.co.il/
http://perthseocompany.com.au/seo/reports/violation/the-page-contains-multiple-canonical-formats
-
http://www.solar.org.il has over 1,000 Link Juice Leaks.
here is a typical sample
The link to "http://www.solar.org.il/services/%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD-%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD-%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD.html" has resulted in HTTP redirection to "http://www.solar.org.il/404.html".
something wrong there.
The is also a few canonical isses, pages blocked by robots, if you really have to block them, use a meta noindex,follow tag, so thsat the link juice will still flow.
50+ broken links, each one leaking link juice, example
The Web page contains the broken link 'http://www.solar.org.il/articles/search/.html'.This site has 1,0000+ brokrn links, leaking link juice
The Web page contains the broken link 'http://www.solar-israel.co.il/investing-in-green-energy'heaps of html errors, an example
The page at "http://www.solar-israel.co.il/" contains invalid markup.
The Tag 'p' was not closed correctly, the Tag 'div' was closed instead.Both sites have many other issues in smaller numbers.
I dont know what suite os yours, but who very fixes all their leaks should out do the other.

The linking shows you have better links, but he does alright in some key areas like trush linking domains. There are many other factors we could look at if we had urls

Keyword Rankings Report Accuracy
How many of you routinely have inaccurate data in your Moz Pro keyword rankings reports? I just checked 5 of our terms that came in this morning - yes, it's a not logged in, non-personalized, incognito, cleared cache search - and none of them actually ranked where Moz said they ranked. One was listed in the top 5 and wasn't even on the first page. One was listed at position 3 but was actually at position 8, a big difference when it comes to CTR. And the report will have stuff like our brand name not ranked at all one week, then jumping by 45+ positions the next week, then gone the next week. And it doesn't fluctuate like that. I get that the reports are general to what most people see, but should such big disparities be expected?

Ranking report and language
Unfortunately I noticed a huge problem in rank tracker amd ranking report. My site is in italian and I configurate the ranking report using google italy. The problem is that the ranking is related to www.google.it but using a browser set with english language!! Infact for a specific keyword the ranking position is 8 (using english) and 12 (using italian). This is a huge problem for me and makes useless any report! F

Does SEOmoz have a Keyword Research tool similar to, say, the Google AdWords tool or the WebCEO Keyword Research Tool? And where might that be? (Sorry, I'm very new to SEOmoz Pro.)
I'm looking for an SEOmoz version of the classic WebCEO Keyword Research that would give you effective suggestions based on a keyword inquiry. I've made the switch from WebCEO, but I'm trying to find something similar to that Keyword Research tool. Am I going to just need to use the Google AdWords tool for this function or does SEOmoz have it's own version?

SEOmoz PRO Custom Reports Issues
This post is for all PRO members, On January 2, 2012, we found a serious bug in our custom reporting system that made it possible for some of our customers to see other customers’ custom reports. This affected less than 1% of our customers in total (.6 % to be exact). Fewer than 100 reports could potentially be viewed by another customer. We are taking this matter very seriously. 98 accounts were affected and we will be contacting those people individually via their account email addresses. If you do not receive an email from us, don’t worry - you were not affected. Soon after we discovered the problem, we completely turned off access to these reports; even though people may have been provided access previously, the access was limited to a short time period. They no longer have access to the reports whatsoever. The issue has now been resolved and all reports moving forward are functioning properly. For more information on what caused the issue, how it's been resolved and any other updates on the issue, follow the thread here: http://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/20836338-custom-reports-issues-resolved. We'll add any updates there. Also, we'd like to have all comments/questions from members in one place, so please use the Zendesk link for comments. We really appreciate your patience while we work through this. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us at help@seomoz.org - we're always happy to help.

SEO Moz ranking reports
I am confused. The SEO Moz ranking reports state that my site show show up in a specific position in SERP for a specific keyword yet when I google the keyword the ranking is different. Are these ranking reports merely indicative or are they supposed to be accurate?

Why are my rankings not showing up in Bing?
I recently signed up for SEOmoz and love it so far...but....in the keyword ranking section I know we rank in the top 20 for our keywords on Bing and yet for some reason the SEOmoz tool is coming back saying we arent even in the top 50. Why is this?

About the rankings report in the Pro Dashboard, does it track the ranking of every page on a root domain, or just the home page or whichever page you set up the campaign with?
I noticed that one of the pages on my root domain has a #5 rank for a keyword, yet the ranking report says that there are no results in the top 50. So I am assuming it is only tracking the home page. That is one thing I liked about the Rank Tracker, that it would find any page that was ranking on a root domain. Thanks, Lara

Ranking better
Hello there, I am after some specific guidance on how to rank well for the keyword ‘Translation Services’. I have managed to get the site www.pstranslation.co.uk to page 2 of google UK for this key term. The difficulty is I seem to have run out of steam now on how to get higher rankings. After spending a considerable amount of time creating content and gaining links I managed to get the site from around page 15 on google uk to page 4 then to page 2. That’s where it seems to have stopped. I (think I) have got the onsite SEO pretty well nailed. I have got some good linkable content (http://www.pstranslation.co.uk/infog_languages.html,http://www.pstranslation.co.uk/language_resources_indus.html) and have plans to produce a more. Experience working within the language industry tells me that a top 3 position on page 1 for this keyword can very lucrative so my main focus of SEO is to rank well for this key phrase. There is a very good chance you reply will simply be get more (better) links and if it is that’s fine but is there anything else I can do? Am I missing a very obvious trick anywhere? Looking forward to your reply.
