How do I PERMANENTLY change an incorrect URL link with one of my keywords?
-
Hello,
I received an “F” grade on my on-page report for one of my keywords. I noticed that the URL linked with that keyword was wrong. After changing it to the correct URL, I received an “A.” However, the change was not permanent. How do I permanently change the URL? I don’t see any “Save Changes” or “Apply Changes” button anywhere.
Thank you!

Hi Andrew,
I just wanted to jump in with some info for you!
The On-Page reports are automatically generated for any urls you have that are ranking. If that URL changes or gets deprecated at some point, you will need to manually stop the report from running by clicking the button that says "Stop Running Weekly."
As for new ones. They will be generated if you're ranking. If you want to track something that's not ranking, you can run that on the On-Page Report Card and then click "Run This Report Weekly"
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Joel. -
Andrew,
If I understand you correctly it's about the on-page factors of your SEOMoz campaign?
I think they just check what page is indexed for that keyword by Google. Adjusting the page manually in the system is a temporary solution. After that they again go for the indexed page. Maybe it would be wiser to adjust your pages for the keywords in stead of altering the URL.
The page that ranks best for your keyword might just be the most logical page for that keyword. So in stead of adjusting URL's you might want to rethink that strategy and adjust the page.
Hope my insight may help you
regards
Jarno

Am I spamming my Keyword?
Hi All I am trying to rank my site for many key phrases but the pretty much always contain the word "Sussex" The biggy with a lot of competition is "Caterers Sussex" and similar variations when I view source on their page I find that Gastro catering's code uses "sussex" 92 times in it code. My site www.SussexChef.com uses the word "Sussex" 590 times, the competitors site mentions the word less in its code and is dominant for all my desirable key words. Am I spamming my keyword by using Sussex too often when naming my image file? Is there anything in this or am I barking up the wrong tree? Thanks for your help Ben

Internal linking question
I have a Q&A site which I am struggling to get ranking well in Google. I had a few questions 1. Should I be doing some internal linking and if so how is it best to do this? Should I go back into users questions and change certain keywords to links if applicable? 2. Should I be nofollowing the index pages ie /p1 /p2 of discussions? 3. If anyone has chance to look at the site and let me know if there is anything else I am doing wrong I would be really grateful. Thanks

If I want to rank well on one keyword would it be better to optimize multiple pages on the website for the keyword or should I only optimize one page for that keyword?

Too many links on a page?
On my blog posts, I have links to all the categories and months, dating back 5-6 years. This make the number of links on each blog page well over 100, which I understand might decrease the value of each page. Is there a problem with having more than 100 links on a page?

URL question
Hi guys, the pro campaign thing you got going is wicked, love it. I'm recieving good results with my keywords and have noticed that categories that go beyond sub/sub/sub don't do to well. So I wanna move those that do one step up which makes it go from: http://spytunes.com/practice-guitar/advanced-routine/scales/aeolian to here http://spytunes.com/practice-guitar/advanced-routine/aeolian The existing menu system that follow all these categories across the site will soon go so it won't be a user friendly problem, I will have other type of menus. But, and here is the question: Would I greatly benefit from taking the non existent menu away and just go for: http://spytunes.com/practice-guitar/aeolian while i'm at it? Or do I stick with my current structure? I guess my real question is; how much is there to flat URLs? Cheers -dan lundholm spytunes.com
