What do the dates refer to in seo moz reports
-
question is in the title - new trainee asked me and couldn't actually answer!

Thanks Sam, i've always viewed these reports as trend reports, but realised i had never understood the date formats underneath them!

Hi!
These dates just there to provide you with a timescale so you can see how your diagnostic issues have trended over time. The older the campaign is, the more the scale increases until you hit about a year. So for this example (http://screencast.com/t/U62XG8tCbni8), 2/1 refers to 2/1/13 and 4/16 refers to 4/16/13.
If you have an older campaign (say with a years worth of data), you'll see the graph that says something like 5/1, 7/1 [...] 3/1, 5/1. This would represent a 5/1/12 - 5/1/13 timeframe. Hopefully this helped clear up the graph Have a great day!
Best,
Sam

the particular date format I am refering to is in the crawl report - the dates are 10/1 7/1 4/1 repeated over and over
i have a feeling it is going to be a very obvious answer but, is it the number of days gone past and why would SEO not just use standard calendar dates?

Parked Domains and Local SEO
Hi, I wanted to know what your thoughts were on **Parked Domains **and Local SEO. I came across a company that has a lot of parked domains that were created for different countries. i.e. xxxxx.co.uk, xxxxx.ch, xxxxx.com etc. The content they load are from the main domain xxxxx.com I went to a country specific Google search, for instance google.co.uk and google.ch Searched for the company name and xxxxx.com showed up, not the parked domains that existed for each "country" No analytics exist as the tracking code is on xxxxx.com so I can't see if any specific traffic goes to xxxxx.ch, or other domains. From my understand, parked domains lead to unnecessary duplicate content. So why have them? Simply setup a redirect to xxxxx.com from the parked domain. But are there benefits for Local SEO? Search engines like google will still see the domain as a separate entity if no redirect is in place. If so, I realise content has to be unique..but it raises a question... Why have parked domains at all apart from stopping your competitors or users typing other variance of your URL? What do you guys think?

White Label Version of Moz Pro?
I may have missed it, but is there a white label option for Moz Pro? I have a few clients that would like to login and have a look at competition, rankings, etc. Perhaps something like WebCEO or MySEOtool?

On-Page Report Card Questions
First post here, a couple questions as I work through some of the SEOMOZ tool reporting, specifically the On-page Report Card. I've just received the report results yesterday, so working through the data now. There are two issues categorized as critical by the tool: (1) The grader is stating I don't have any instances of the target keyword in my page title, yet it's there. (The page title is too long, but I'm in the process of hacking the blog software to fix this, it's auto-generated by the CMS.) (2) It's also saying under "Broad Keyword Usage in Document" that I have zero instances of the keyword in the body text, and while I certainly don't have enough, there is at least one instance at the bottom of the blog post. All the text is contained with tags. (3) Related to #2, what's the difference between "Appropriate Keyword Usage in Document" under "High Importance Factors" and "Broad Keyword Usage in Document" under "Critical Factors"
