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.....

Unsolved Questions about travel industry keywords
My question is regarding my current learning of SEO and keyword research. I have been leaning towards Keyword Everywhere, SEMrush, and Google Keyword Planner for keyword research. What do you recommend? I know you might suggest Moz, but I'm looking for something that will enhance and help me find valuable keywords for the travel niche. If I sign up with Moz, will someone from the team help me with keyword research for the travel niche and my website? I haven't found any resources or lessons specifically focused on travel websites and their keywords.

Crawl Diagnostics Report
I'm a bit concerned about the results I'm getting from the Crawl Diagnostics Report. I've updated the site with canonical urls to remove duplicate content and when I check the site - it all displays the right values, but the report, which has just finished crawling is still showing a lot of pages as duplicate content. Simple example: http://www.domain.com http://www.domain.com/ Both of them are in the duplicate content section although both have canonical url set as: Does each crawl check the entire site from the beginning or just the pages it didn't have a chance to crawl the last time? This is just one of 333 duplicate content pages, which have canonical url pointing to the right page. Can someone please explain?

Question about a dramatic decrease in domain authority.
My personal website http://Bsalva.com has started to drop in both page authority and domain authority. This seems to be largely due to open site explorer not picking up all of my inbound links. Right now it says I only have one linking root domain, but I know this to be crap. I have quite a few followed links from well trusted and reputable sites. My page rank typically bounces between a 5 and 6. I should also have hundreds of inbound links. The other sites In my campaign monitor haven't taken such a hit so I'm starting to get a little worried. Does anyone know what might cause incoming links to not me recognized? they were just fine last month, and I can go find them on the web as we speak.

Personalised PRO Dashboard reports?
Hi guys, I'm loving the SEOMoz PRO dashboard and have learnt so much from the campaigns I've been running. I was wondering if I could personalise the reports to have my logo on them instead of SEO MOz's? At the moment, I export them and try recreate them offline, but it wouold be way easier if I could just send them the reports PDF'ed up straight from the dashboard.

Question about when new crawls start
Hi everyone, I'm currently using the trial of seomoz and I absolutely love what I'm seeing. However, I have 2 different websites (one has over 10,000 pages and one has about 40 pages). I've noticed that the smaller website is crawled every few days. However, the larger site hasn't been crawled in a few days. Although both campaigns state that the sites won't be crawled until next Monday, is there any way to get the crawl to start sooner on the large site? The reason that I've asked is that I've implemented some changes that will likely decrease the amount of pages that are crawled simply based upon the recommendations on this site. So, I'm excited to see the potential changes. Thanks, Brian
