Campaign Reports Question
-
Hello everyone. I'm new to SEOMOZ and sort of a beginner with this SEO stuff but this does seem like the place to be to learn things. I spent quite a bit of time reading the blogs and found them very helpful - including everyone's comments.
I'm not sure what to make of a couple of my campaign reports. I'm going through my campaign reports and have a few questions. I guess the easy way is to break this down.
Question 1:
Crawl Errors: I"m getting duplicate content/page errors for the following pages.
http://www.njsigncrafters.com and http://www.njsigncrafters.com/index.php
Am I losing a bit of google points because of this and do I fix it by using a redirect?
Question 2:
When I look at my on-page analysis I'm getting grades of A-F. I'm figuring maybe I should have some recommendations about what to do but SEOMOZ gives me a grade and then leaves it at that. Besides reviewing my on-page factors am I missing something simple that I"m supposed to click on to see recommendations?
I suppose once I get used to the way things work I'll get this SEOMOZ site figured out.

Hi Denis,
Welcome to SEOmoz! Glad to have you on board. There's is a lot to learn, and it's a very much go-at-your-own-pace kind of learning (with a lot of Google searches thrown in with a few years of trial and error) but that's why we're here.
1. Yes, you have a duplicate content issue with your homepage. Probably the easiest way to fix this is with a canonical tag (or secondly, a 301 redirect)
You can learn more about these here:

- http://www.seomoz.org/blog/duplicate-content-block-redirect-or-canonical
- http://www.seomoz.org/blog/duplicate-content-in-a-post-panda-world
2. On-page reports. Yep, your intuition is correct - you need to click through the blue link to see the report. After this, you'll see a rich report with all sorts of specifics.
Here's a tutorial and video on the on-page report. https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/20878127-on-page-analysis-for-campaigns
Hope this helps! Best of luck with your SEO!

Question #1: Yes. You have the same content on each page. Change up the content on the index page or edirect or block with a robot....
Question #2: The grades are there as empty buckets......you have to look at how many pages fall into each grade. Give the system a few days to come up with the resulkts.
You should also look at your sites link analysis against competitors. You can go into depth by clicking on them to show you the detail behind the totals.
The campaign stuff is good for the basics and would be perfect to give to clients.......but start to use some of the research tools that provide you more detailed information and allow you to go deeper. (It is one of the other folder options) There is a lot of value if you spend the time.
Hope this helps.....

Universal results not in pdf or csv reports
Right now, the universal results show up when I look at tankings on the site, but do not show up at all in the weekly pdf reports. They also did not appear in the full rankings history .csv report. They only appear in the weekly csv report, and then, the information is not as detailed as it is on the website (it only shows whether a universal exists, but doesn't indicate at what position it shows up). This limits the usefulness of these reports to my customers. I need to be able to show them rankings histories, including universal results, in their monthly or weekly reports. Including the charts would be nice as well. Since I can individually download the .pdfs for these for each keywords, why can't we just include it in the monthly reports. Also, would like to be able to view rankings history for all three search engines at once for a keyword, or multiple keywords to reduce the number of pages in a report. Can you add this feature?

The crawl report shows a lot of 404 errors
They are inactive products, and I can't find any active links to these product pages. How can I tell where the crawler found the links?

Using Your 50 Monthly SERP Analysis Reports
Hi. I've been running analysis on a variety of keywords for a few of our clients and am noticing I'm going through our 50 monthly full SERP Analysis Reports pretty quickly. While SEO is only a fraction of what we do, I know there are large SEO shops out there that must run a tremendous amount of analysis each month. If you're running such analysis routinely, how do you manage with only 50 full SERP Analysis Reports each month? How do these reports fit into your workflow? Thanks a lot. David

Keyword Difficulty Tool Full Reports - Are they correct?
Hello SEOMOZ Community I hope you can answer my following question. I’ve used the Keyword Difficulty and SERPS to analyse why my competitors seem to be higher than me in the SERPS for a certain keyword. The only problem I can see when I’ve done the full report is that our website has no internal links to the page we are trying to rank for, however when I go into Google webmasters tools it’s stating we have over 99,000 links. Can you please let me know why this is showing in the report? Many Thanks Matt

301 redirect question from a newb
So, I've been blogging for almost 3 years now. I've always used wordpress, but recently changed from a ProPhoto theme to a Woo Theme (Editorial...don't know if that matters). I've signed up for the SEOmoz website and HOLY CROW I have problems with my website out the wazoo. I am tackling issues one at a time and one of my issues seems to be 301 redirects. If you'd like to see a screen shot of the crawl diagnostics, check it out the attachment. If you'd like screen shots of anything else, just let me know. I'm not sure I'm reading the chart right, but it seems to say that all of my redirecting problems are because my links are redirecting from an http://www..... to a http://http://www... I've been in my wordpress blog post back end and can't seem to figure out how they A. Got like this. and B how to fix it. If I'm reading the chart wrong...definitely let me know. Thank you guys so much in advance! Screen%20Shot%202012-01-01%20at%202.28.19%20PM.png

Can I do a campaign for just a page?
We've been doing a lot of building and work on just one category page, but when i try to put it in the campaign it won't let me do any url that has a sub folder like www.mainsite.com/keyword-page. I can only do www.mainsite.com, and when i select the other campaign options like root domain or sub folder, roger pops up with an error. Is anyone else having this problem?

Unanswered Questions
Hey SEOMoz I have been spending a bit of time in the Q&A of late and have noticed lots of questions never get answered. I also had a question of my own that I left open for ages and I figured it maybe a good idea to add some kind of email nag or on screen notification for people to close old questions. There are some that have had plenty of answers but that either never get closed & really, it takes away from the fun of participating if things are never closed off & searching shows the same old tired, answerd but not closed questions lingering around like a bad smell. 🙂 Not really a question, but a little tweak suggestion. 🙂 Cheers
