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

More Singular KW Targeted Landing Pages vs. Less Multiple KW Targeted Landing Pages
So my question is... I have a adopted a site which currently ranks quite well for some industry competitive keywords with a number of poor quality landing pages which specifically target a singular keyword. I am wondering if its worth merging some of these pages together into one authoritative, better quality landing page targeting multiple keywords (as the intent for some of these keywords are largely the same). What i don't want to do is jeopardise the existing rankings in doing so. The alternative option would just be to improve the content on the existing landing pages without merging. What are peoples thoughts on this? Are there any positive case studies out there where merging has had a positive effect? Any help would be great. Regards,

Home Page Optimization For Wordpress Blog
Hi, I'm developing a wordpress site and currently confused over home page optimization. I'm planning to use excerpts of posts on home page so that users can glance over all recent posts and at same time avoid content duplication. But I'm not sure how to optimize the home page for couple of targeted keywords . How can i make sure that there is enough content, proper H1, title tag etc on home page for target keywords even by using excerpts of different posts on home page with Read more links to complete posts? Should i use some sticky post on home page to take care of all onpage requirements for required keywords or there are some other better ways to do it? Regards, shaz

WordPress - optimizing for new keywords on page or post?
I know WordPress is always a little messy with SEO but i have a main question regarding WordPress optimisation for a special keyword. Let's say i have a chocolade blog and have written about all the vendors of chocolade. Now i found a new keyword which i want to optimize my website for. Should i create a 'Page' within WordPress and optimize it for the new keyword + link to some of the post about a relative keyword within this page?

OR Should i create a blog post and write about the new keyword and just links some of the other relative blog posts? I hope my question is clear.0 -

Is it necessary to optimize every page of a site
I recently took over the SEO work for a website that has a limited budget. I'd like to use the resources to get as much as I can for a few pages on the site (keyword research, on-page optimization). Are there pitfalls to not optimizing every page on a site? If so, what are they?
