MOZ TEAM - your system done broke my status as a guru
-
Dear MOZ TEAM - WHY, when I have 2990 moz points, and my profile shows guru, does my profile banner in the Q&A itself now say ASPIRANT? Such a cruel world this has become !
I know I've wanted all along to have you come up with any title other than "guru" because that word is so dreaded in our world. Yet seriously - aspirant? I feel like Roger got drunk one night and decided "let's tease Alan"...
-
If I may make a suggestion stars verse gurus, or we all know SEOMoz has a weakness for unicorns
And now that we know unicorns are real Beyond any shadow of a doubt because of the North Korean media
http://www.today.com/video/today/50054562#50054562
I would propose having unicorns over stars or just how many unicorn horns equal guru or Unicorn master
What do you guys say unicorn master with maybe a photo like the thing shown in this URL. Happy Monday everyone
Sincerely,
Thomas

Roger is very dangerous. He looks so innocent on the outside!
-
I LOVE the notion of stars instead of "guru". But as I am now a lowly aspirant, it will be embarrassing if I only have like a half star or something. NO disrespect to aspirants. We were all lowly at one point.
-
We're trying to address the problems of gurus in the industry Alan!
I've sent off a note to the team and we're looking into this. Longer-term, we are going to replace Guru and Journeyman, as well as replace the labels in Q&A with stars representing the levels, to make things visually easier to understand.

It takes three aspirants to change an SEO lightbulb. One to change the lightbulb and two to explain why it's not probably not important but yet, paradoxically, all the more reason for a long term contract because the situation may change at any time.
-
oh wow. I was hoping you could answer it because I need to know! Isn't the reason I come here so I can get answers to these tough questions?
-
I don't know the answer to that question. But probably a guru would. I wish there were some of them around here.
-
hahaha. The blind wanting to lead the blind. How many aspirants does it take to change an SEO lightbulb?
-
Oh wait. Apparently I am now an aspirant too. Booo.
-
Perhaps Roger has concerns about your experience level Alan. Would you like me to teach you how to do an SEO audit?
-
Thanks for the link! Must have been Roger.
-
It's probably not personal. There is a thread here where are few of us have spotted the same: http://www.seomoz.org/q/bug-with-seomoz-level-display
So either it's a wider bug, or Roger got really drunk and is picking on a bunch of us!

Is the Moz Spam Score a reliable detection of PBNs?
Hello Moz community I am looking at a couple of websites to guest post on and it feels almost too easy. I am concerned these sites may be part of a PBN. Their spam scores are quite low however (6% - 11%). Is the new Spam Score on Link Explorer (not Open Site Explorer) a reliable tool to vet PBNs? I asked a member of the Moz team but they didn't know. Perhaps another will. Here is the website http://www.dspacecloud.org/ Thank you in advance for your opinions.

Why is MOZ crawl is returning URLs with variable results showing Missing Meta Desc? Example: http://nw-naturals.net/?page_number_0=47
Can you help me dive down into my website guts to find out why the MOZ crawl is returning URLs with variable results? And saying this is missing a description when it's not really a page? Example: http://nw-naturals.net/?page_number_0=47. I've asked MOZ but it's a web development issue so they can't help me with it. Has anyone had an issue with this on their website? Thank you!

MoZ vs SEMRush - Keyword Difficulty and Keyword With Low Competition.
Hi, My question is very focussed regarding these 2 tools. Is it correct to understand that MoZ tells keyword difficulty and not which keyword is easy to compete. And SEMRush tells which keyword is easy to compete but does not tell which keywords are difficult to compete? I mean one (Moz) misses the one part and the other (SEMRush) misses the other part. Hope some will enlighten me to the point. Best

Meta Tag Descriptions not being found in Moz Crawls
Hey guys, I have been managing a few websites and have input them into Moz for crawl reports, etc. For a while I have noticed that we were getting a gratuitous amount of errors when it came to the number of missing meta tags. It was numbering in the 200's. The sites were in place before I got here and a lot of the older posts no one had even attempted to include tags, links of the page or anything. As they are all Wordpress Sites and they all already had the Yoast/Wordpress SEO plug-in installed on them, I decided I would go through each post and media file one at a time and update their meta tags via the plug in. I personally did this so I know that I added and saved each one, however the Moz crawl reports continue to show that we are missing roughly 200 meta tags. I've seen a huge drop off in 404 errors and stuff since I went through and double checked everything on the sites, however the meta tag errors persist. Is this the case that Moz is not recognizing the tags when it crawls because I used the Yoast Plugin? Or would you say that the plugin is the issue and I should find another way to add meta tags to the pages and posts on the site? My main concern is that if Moz is having issues crawling the sites, is Google also seeing the same thing? The URLS include:

Keyword Stuffing - MOZ On-Page Grader
We sell a great number of insulation products, many of which are produced by individual manufacturers. On the page identified below the Keyword "Kingspan" is repeated numerous times as these items are included in our online shop. However, the many mentions of Kingspan are recorded in the HTML5 Source Code, rather than an external database. When I used the MOZ On-Page Grader, using the keywords "Kingspan" I was surprised to achieve an "A" Grade! I know I shouldn't be complaining, but I am wondering why the significant repetition of the word "Kingspan" has not negatively impacted my score? http://www.just-insulation.com/001-eshop/buy-kingspan-thermapitch-thermawall-thermafloor-insulation-boards.html

Why Are Moz Pro Ranking SOOOO Inaccurate?
I have a set of keywords for which I have been consistently ranking in the top 10 for months. Moz Pro, a service that I pay for, has shown for the past couple of months that I don't even rank in the top 50. Google Webmaster Tools confirms that I have been ranking in the top 10 for these keywords. Am I doing something wrong or is Moz Pro more of an estimation tool? Thanks 😉

Why does SEO Moz say we are ranked lower than appears on Google Searches?
We are currently ranked 18th for the Sydney Vet keyword in SEO Moz ranking tools, however in organic Google search we are ranked third. This search was conducted without Googles personalised results feature. Is this just an error? Or does it have something to do with Google Places not being counted in SEO Moz ranking tools? Any help would be much appreciated.
