SEO Tools for Content Audit
-
Hi i'm looking for a tool which can do a full content audit for a site for instance -
Find pages which:
• Lack text content.
• Finds pages with lengthy meta descriptions
• Finds missing H1 tags or multiple H1 tags .
• Duplicate meta descriptions.
• Find images with no alt text
Are there any tools besides the ones on SEMOZ which can enable me to do a full content audit on factors like these.
Or any SEO audit tools out there which you can recommend.
Cheers,
Mark

Agreed; I take SF over Xenu any day.

All of these are great options.
If I can add a great chrome extension is "Web Developer" by Chris Pendrick. It doesn't do everything you want, but it can gives you a few easy to use SEO tricks right in your browser.

I'm a huge fan of using things like screaming frog to get a lot of raw information, and then pushing them through something like link detective (or the links extension for excel) to get data on all the pages.
Screaming frog will give you some valuable info like
- title length
- meta description length
- h1-h6 info
- Meta Keywords info (basically to know if anything is there so you can remove them)
- Duplicate meta descs. titles etc
It's also free for less than 500 URIs
Hope this helps

I would suggest SEOmoz Crawl Report tool for this. It has got wealth of options to get all the details that you need regarding lack of content, duplicate pages, duplicate meta data .. give it a go.

Hi Mark,
Can't help you with the "lack text content" but for everything else I'd recommend:
Xenu - Free
A1 Website Analyser - Free 30 Day Trial
Screaming Frog - £99/year

As a bonus when doing a content audit for a site, I'd recommend CheckDog - it's not free but a spell checker for your entire site is invaluable.

Filter Content By State Selection and SEO Consideratoins
I have an insurance client that is represented in three states. They need to present different information to users by state identification. They prefer to have one page with all the information and then present the information relevant to the state by the users selection from a pop up window. Spiders will be able to index all the content. Users will only see the content based on their selection. So, I wanted to ask the Moz community what SEO implication could this have? The information available on the web is very thin with this situation so really appreciate any guidance that can be given...thanks,

Content suggestions from MOZ
Hello, I checked moz content suggestions and for one of my keywords “Burgundy bike tours”. It gives me expressions such as “Burgundy France” and “Burgundy wine”. My question is whether I should include the exact expression “Burgundy wine” in a sentence or if include burgundy somewhere in my text and wine somewhere else if it is fine ? PS : What is the real difference between marketmuse and moz ? and why do they sometimes give different suggestions ?

Directory with Duplicate content? what to do?
Moz keeps finding loads of pages with duplicate content on my website. The problem is its a directory page to different locations. E.g if we were a clothes shop we would be listing our locations: www.sitename.com/locations/london www.sitename.com/locations/rome www.sitename.com/locations/germany The content on these pages is all the same, except for an embedded google map that shows the location of the place. The problem is that google thinks all these pages are duplicated content. Should i set a canonical link on every single page saying that www.sitename.com/locations/london is the main page? I don't know if i can use canonical links because the page content isn't identical because of the embedded map. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

SEO Consult?
Is there anyone here that I can pay to give me a deep analysis of my website and my competitors with recommendation on what to do? I am a small business and I cannot afford expensive monthly SEO fees. I can probably afford a one time consult fee, then I can do the work myself. Or maybe I can pay a-la cart for some of the fixes. I understand this may not be something SEOs want to do since they make their money off doing the work and may not want to share trade secrets. I just thought I would throw that question out there. I've been working on trying to SEO my site for a year now... I was improving and happy with my progress until October and lost 30 positions over my tracked keywords. I have no idea why. I'm kind of at my wits end! 😞

Page Count in Webmaster Tools Index Status Versus Page Count in Webmaster Tools Sitemap
Greeting MOZ Community: I run www.nyc-officespace-leader.com, a real estate website in New York City. The page count in Google Webmaster Tools Index status for our site is 850. The page count in our Webmaster Tools Sitemap is 637. Why is there a discrepancy between the two? What does the Google Webmaster Tools Index represent? If we filed a removal request for pages we did not want indexed, will these pages still show in the Google Webmaster Tools page count despite the fact that they no longer display in search results? The number of pages displayed in our Google Webmaster Tools Index remains at about 850 despite the removal request. Before a site upgrade in June the number of URLs in the Google Webmaster Tools Index and Google Webmaster Site Map were almost the same. I am concerned that page bloat has something to do with a recent drop in ranking. Thanks everyone!! Alan

Am I Doing This Wrong? Ecommerce SEO
I ran my site through the SEOMoz On-Page Optimization tool and one of the problems noted was "Keyword Self-Cannibalization" in this case, it was stating I was using the keyword "Board Games" too much. Site in question: http://theboardgamers.co.uk/ The problem being is that every product link contains the word "Board Game" - Which makes sense, but I guess it may look spammy to the SEO world. Would it be best to remove the "board game" part from each internal link and only leave it in the URL structure?

Does capitalization matter for SEO?
Two places capitalization comes into play: (1) on-page use (title, h1, body text, img alt text, etc) (2) external anchor text I didn't think it mattered from Google's point of view for on-page usage (is this correct?) but I notice that OpenSiteExplorer' s 'anchor text distribution' tab shows different counts for the same keyword if it's capitalized in different ways (eg seomoz.org is listed separate from SEOmoz.org). Is that just OSE or does Google treat the keyword/phrase different based on its capitalization, too? And if so, then should I be creating external links to my site with the 'regular' and 'Capitalized' versions of my key phrases?
