Problem with Rankings and On-page Optimization
-
Hi SEOZ
I have a question regarding the Rankings and On-page Optimization in the seomoz Campaign Manager.
I have setup a website url for examle: www.keyword.com
After that created a list of all the target Keywords, that I want to reach within my Website: keyword-a, keyword-b, keyword-c and so on...
Then I did a On-Page Analysis for all the urls with the specific keywords.
keyword-a: www.keyword.com/keyword-a/ keyword-b: www.keyword.com/keyword-b/ keyword-c: www.keyword.com/keyword-c/ and so on...
Most of the urls got the A grade.
Now after the Website hast launched and got crawled, I have a problem with the Rankings and the On-page Optimization.
The Rankings for my Keywords and also the Grades at the On-page Optimization are only shown for my Start/Homepage: www.keyword.com NOT for the urls that are specific for a Keyword for example: www.keyword.com/keyword-a/
Also the Grades are shown for the Keywords but again only in combination with my Start/Homepage www.keyword.com NOT for www.keyword.com/keyword-a/
What is the problem?
Bye, Alex

Hi Alex,
These awesome guys are right. The SEOmoz PRO platform automatically runs an on-page report for any of your managed keywords that shows up in the top 50 of your chosen search engine, for the URL that is displayed in search results. This is not necessarily the page you tried to optimize for.
So, if your homepage is ranking for "keyword a" instead of homepage.com/keyword-a, SEOmoz will run a report for your homepage instead.
The good news is, you can set the report to run for any keyword/URL combination you like. The instructions are here, about 1/2 down the page...

Now, the advanced SEO question is... why is your homepage ranking above your optimized page? Not sure I can answer that one here.
Hope this helps. Best of luck with your SEO!

Using OSE http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/, you can view each of your page metrics. (Page Authority, and links)
You may have optimized the pages for certain keywords, but there are many more metrics that determine which pages will rank better in serps. And usually your strongest page will always be your home page.

Alex It sounds like the homepage URL or whatever URL you are seeing in SEOmoz ranking reports is the one that is ranking in the SERPS and that's how SEOmoz does the grading of pairing that search term with that URL. I would advise you to look at this article from Rand on this topic - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/wrong-page-ranking-in-the-results-6-common-causes-5-solutions

Moz is treating my pages as duplicate content but the pages have different content in reality
Attached here is a screenshot of links with duplicate content. Here are some links that is also based on the screenshot http://federalland.ph/construction_updates/paseo-de-roces-as-of-october-2015 http://federalland.ph/construction_updates/sixsenses-residences-tower-2-as-of-october-2015/ http://federalland.ph/construction_updates/sixsenses-residences-tower-3-as-of-october-2015 The links that I have placed here have different content. So I don't why they are treated as duplicates BWWJuvQ

A 301 redirect to a page with a rel canonical to a page with a 301 question...
MOZ registers thousands of DC and Duplicate titles on a Drupal site which has a little strange setup. Example: www.1234.com/en-us 301 redirects to www.realsite.com/en-us which has a rel canonical to www.1234.com which 301 redirects to www.realsite.com. If you're still with me I thank you.

My question is since MOZ registers errors, if indeed the rel canonical isn't recognized due to a 301 redirect?0 -
Sudden increase in on-page links
Within one week, the site crawl shows my on-page links going from ~10 to ~100+ Does anyone know of a rational reason for this? Sucuri shows my site is clean, so I don't think it's a hack. 10 seems too low to begin with anyway. Any ideas? Thanks 🙂

Rank Tracker report truble
Hello, I am new at SEOmoz, and I am having some troubles setting up my rank tracking report. Last week I set up e-mail notifications, but it hasn’t been delivered to this day. Can anybody tell me when do you usually receive the report via e-mail? Thank you.

My Google Keyword Rankings are Missing. Anyone else having this problem?
I logged in to pull my reports for my clients and noticed that I am missing all of my ranked keywords for my campaigns for the Google columns. One word is ranked. All the rest have a TUES sign that looks like it references Tuesday. Is anyone else having this issue? I had over 30 words ranked last week. Only showing 1 today. The rankings for Bing and Yahoo are intact though. There is no report showing a decline in ranking for all those words either (in the google column.) This is also happening in another campaign of mine but they have a WEDS in place of the google ranking... ugh Frustrated...
