On Page Ranking Tool Giving Weird Reports
-
My on page ranking tool is giving two entirely different reports for my website - I get one report for my domain name and a different report for the index.html even though essentially both of those pages are...well...the same.
Not sure what's going on, hoping it's not an indication of a more serious issue?
I appreciate any help!

If you're getting the 2 different reports for the same Keyword against domain.com and domain.com/index.html then it's very likely that it's an issue from your site and not from the software:
Even though domain.com and domain.com/index.html are the same page to you and I, Google treats them as separate documents. To make matters worst, you might even get penalized for duplicate content when both those pages get indexed, so you need to take one of these actions:
- Do a 301 redirect from domain.com/index.html to domain.com
- Use the canonical tag on the _index.html _page to point at domain.com
Hope this helps,
Bogdan

Benchmark report for client
Hello, Wondering if someone can tell me how to make a clean, professional report of the most important SEO metrics for a client, from a month ago. I have MozPro and want to be able to see where we stood in rankings, links, crawl issues, landing page, PA/DA, etc when we began. I am thinking that there has got to be a way I can customize a report in Pro and then, if not all the info I want is there (traffic stats?), I can integrate that info in? Is there an easier way? I should've done it when I signed up and started working on the site, but....I didn't. ;( Thanks!

We are considering purchasing your complete suite. Our question is regarding your Ranking Tool. We currently subscribe to Market Samurai and they provide us with keyword ranking abilities tied to our internal pages. Our domain, www.wklaw.com has hundreds of internal pages. (86 areas of law, each with 5 pages). will your ranking tool match our keywords to our internal pages? or does it only provide us ranks for the main domain? Thank you.
