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

Combining products - edit existing product page or 301 redirect to new page?
We want to combine existing products - e.g. 'hand lotion' and 'body lotion' will become 'hand & body lotion'. As such, we'll need to combine the two product pages into one. What would be the best route to take in terms of SEO to do this? My initial reaction is to create a new product page and then 301 or 302 redirect the old products to the new product page depending on if the change is permanent or temporary. Would you agree? Or am I missing something?

Reducing multi-page website to one page & SEO ramifications?
Hello there! I just want to check in before I do this. I am reducing a multi-page website to one page (temporarily, but for at least 4-6 months). I will be 301 redirecting all old pages to the one, new home page. The new home page has a lot more content, long and short keyword phrases. Aside from losing the benefit of internal links, will reducing the number of website pages hurt a ranking? Does having associated keywords on other website pages provide benefit to another (in this case Home) page? Thanks so much for your invaluable advice!

What to do about pages I have deleted?
I have been working through the dead links on my page and recreating the page with new content for those pages that it still makes sense to have on the site. But I have a few that were just changes of the title, spelling mistakes or other ways of saying the same thing In other words I created a page called "areas of the UK we cover" but decided to change it to "areas covered" However, I must have created links to this page and now it is a dead link with a page authority of 19 I think it would be spammy to have two pages, one called "areas covered" and the other called "areas of the UK we cover. It's not a disallow in Robots.txt because the page does not exist Please note I do not have access to the header to add code for a 301 redirect. I'm still using webs.com but not for new sites. I also have a page called singing telegrams london, that I changed from singagrams london. These are two words for the same thing but they are two very different keywords would it be ok to recreate this page and create content for singagrams london. Help is much appreciated

Page Title
My website was hacked last November and then again last week. Prior to the hacking we were at number one in Google.co.uk for our main search term "nile cruises' for years. After last November's hacking we dropped to about position 4 and after last week we are at position 7. Ima rebuilding the lost data and I am having to create new Title and Description meta data for each of the indexed pages. I am taking the opportunity to try and ensure my titles and descriptions are good and the correct length, etc but wondered about the best title format. I set our home page title over the weekend as: Nile Cruise | Leading ABTA & ATOL Bonded UK Nile Cruise Specialist I was going to try and cover 3 keyphrases in the title like this: Nile Cruise | Nile Cruises | Nile Cruise Bargains But I thought that might look a bit spammy because the 3 phrases are very similar. I wondered what anyone else might suggest? Thanks, Colin
