Removing old URLs that are being used for my on page optimization?
-
Is there a way to remove old URL's that are still being used for my keywords for my on page optimization? They are giving me grades of F since they no longer exist and if I change the URL to the current one, the grade becomes an A, but they are still showing after the new crawl.

Hey there,
Thanks for the question. If you have some old deprecated URLs that On-Page is still trying to check, you can get rid of them by click the Stop Running Weekly button as seen here: http://www.screencast.com/t/r7HO1zkuS
You can then either wait for them to automatically be generated for ranking keywords or manually enter them into your On-Page Report Card.
I hope that helps.
Cheers,

im nto sure i understand your answer, i sort of use both, if you go to your campaign there is the on page link, there it shows all keywords and the grades for all of them, for my keywords though its getting 2 grades, one for the correct url whihc is an A and one for the old url (same keyword) and thats an F, yes i can click on the wrong url and put in the right url and regrade it and I get an A but it sucks to look at my overall on page report and see dozens of grade F's. I want to clean that up but cant get seomoz to stop pulling the old url and the thing is the old url doesnt exist its a temp redirect to a standard page, so im wondering if I cant tell seomoz not to use a certain url in my on page ranking and save that data or delte a url or somehting so my overall report card had no F's, below is an example, the first url is redirected so not sure how seomoz is grading that or are they grading the redirected page? and if so can i stop that or do i need permanent 301 to solve that, i could 301 to the bottom url

You use this tool http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/on-page-keyword-optimization/new ? or are seeing your results from your campaign. It is very likely that if you see results from your campaign must wait a week to be corrected.

they are redirected but seomoz is still using them for my on page rankings. For example sometimes it shows the same keyword 2-3 separate times each with a different url yet I only have one active url for that keyword, the old ones that seomos is pulling are redirected and some seomoz is pulling the worng page entirely, not an old page but for example I have a for my product in brown but seomox is using my gold page for brown keyword so my main question is can we control or save what url seomoz uses for on page rankings

If the pages are no longer the best you can do is 301 redirects

In-page Optimization check list....
Hey, Mozzers I have a question about optimizing a web-page. I was just having a conversation with our web developer about optimizing our website and which changes would make the most difference in affecting the SERPs as far as on-page optimization goes. I was explaining to her we wanted to optimize our pages in the following levels (ranked most important to least important): <title>: key word laden </p> <p>2) <H1> : key word in <strong>bold</strong></p> <p>3) page content: keyword laden as well</p> <p>The idea was to have three or four layers of keywords on the page. I work for a real estate brokerage and the context was the actual page of the property listing. So in this case, the keywords would be the address of the property. She explained to me that the the H1 tag is more important than the title tag.</p> <p>Does this ring true with you guys?</p></title>

Pages exclusion
Hi there! I don't want to "make relevan"t 3 of the pages my website has. Should I give them a title and a description even if I dont't want them to be shown in the SERPs? Is there any penalty from google if I don't do so? I guess no but just to confirm. Thanks!

To use or not to use: Keywords with locations
Hello there. I work for a marketing agency that manages SEO campaigns for a variety of small businesses in South Florida. Let's say we have a client that sells cheap shoes at their store location. Obviously, we want to show up in Google rankings for search terms like "cheap shoes south florida" or "cheap shoes miami." Now, my question is, when optimizing a website's content for various keywords, is it really necessary to include keywords with the location (which are often awkward for both reading and writing purposes)? Ideally, I'd prefer to have text that always reads as naturally as possible. Text like this is just an eyesore: Welcome to ExampleSite.com, home of the best cheap shoes Florida. We offer all kinds of cheap shoes Boca Raton. Your whole family doesn't have enough fingers and toes to count how many cheap shoes West Palm Beach we have in stock! Contact us to ask about our cheap shoes Miami discounts today! Olé!" What say you? Is there a way to work around ugly SEO text like this while still effectively ranking for GEO terms? Thanks!

Sold Products appear as duplicate pages 'Page Not Found' ???
Hi there, I'm down to just 6 duplicate page warnings but I'm not sure how to deal with this one: Information Page Not Found! http://www.vintageheirloom.com/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=6 My Ecommerce shopping site products are unique, 1 of a kind. So once one product has sold and been delivered we take the product off our website, hence the Information Page Not Found! As I understand when search engines re-index these warnings will drop off but new sold products would replace them. So redirecting seems like hard work and never ending. Is it ok to ignore these warnings? Thanks Mozzers..

E-Commerce product pages that have multiple skus with unique pages.
Hey Guys, With the recent farm/panda update from google i'm at a cross roads as to how I should optimize product pages for a project i'm working on for a client. My client sells tires and one particular tire brand can have up to 15 models and each model can have up to 30 sizes. IE: 'Michelin Pilot Sport Cup' comes in 15 different sizes. Each size will have it's unique product page and description bringing me to my question. Should I use the same description on every size? I do plan on writting unique content for each tire model however i'm not sure if I should do it for every size. After all the tire model description is the same for every size, each size doesn't carry any unique characteristics that I can describe. Thanks in advance!
