Ignore Moz Notices?

Hi All,

I read an old post (2011) about ignoring rel canonical notices from Moz. I wondered why they can be ignored? The thing is, it's showing a bunch of rel canonical errors for my pages but I know I have the tag right. At the risk of being offensive.. can the notices be ignored because the Moz data is erroneous? I'm not sure what to make of this.

Thanks!

I'm getting warnings for too many on page links and rel canonical notices for pages such as:

Sorry but I don't fully understand the issues you have.

Can you please give more details or give some examples?

Hi Sorina,

Thanks for the info. The rel canonical settings are fine though. And I'm still getting a ton of warnings for %%term_title%%. Only the original post is set for index, follow. Any ideas?

The Moz data is not erroneous.
But Moz can't know if your rel canonical setting are OK or not, because these settings depend on your own website particularities.

You shouldn't ignore these notices, what you should do is check them, and when the rel canonical URL doesn't match the actual URL of the page verify that the setting is correct, that you don't want the actual URL to rank but instead you want the canonical URL to rank because the actual page is duplicate content of the canonical page.

Duplicate content flagged by Moz that's not actually duplicate content at all

Hi, Moz has flagged a whole lot of pages as dupe content, but I cannot see how they qualify as such.
Not sure if I'm allowed to post actual URLs here....happy to if I can, but I feel certain that the pages are not 90% similar. Has anyone else had this experience? ~Caro

Poor quality PDF exports from analytics.moz.com

The new reports look great http://analytics.moz.com/dashboard/overview/ But when I export to PDF, the text is low quality and images are low quality. Not as good as the old report. In fact, the PDF is such low quality we are not providing them to our customers. We're using the old reports. ETA for HQ PDF Export please?

Can Moz tools help me with this effort?

I want to brainstorm different keywords, look for high search volumes, and low competition. Then I want to create landing page, rank them using seo techniques, and collect optin email addresses so I can communicate with interested users and build helpful products. With all the moz tools available to us, how can I accomplish the above mentioned goal? Have you done some thing similar? What are your experiences? Am I talking pie in the sky? Are there any practical examples where all these steps were executed? Thanks

How Moz takes a page title is duplicate?

Suppose i have added suffix and prefix to each of my product (ex: i have two tittles like buy online t-shirt at abc.com & buy online poster at abc.com, so in this buy online and abc.com are suffix and prefix) so .. will it take these two page tittles as duplicates ?

Moz crawling

Hi Everyone! I'm new to the SEOMoz and wanted to find out if there is a way to decrease the waiting time for the campaign crawl. I have made a lot of changes based on the first crawl and would like to see how these are reflected on the reports, but can't until the next crawl is performed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Press Release - using moz bar/OSE is reading domain not page? How? Why?

A question posed by Christopher Glaeser from early today:low PA high DA, had a follow up response from him providing 2 urls from PR WEB for separate press releases: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2011/11/prweb8923419.htm (HP White) On moz bar Page Analysis/Link Data = PA - 47 DA - 36 http://www.prweb.com/releases/2011/12/prweb9051351.htm (Golfer's Advice) On moz bar Page Analysis/Link Data = PA - 1 DA - 96 I kept scratching my head as to how a press release of 6 weeks ago had garnered such attention from a company that would not seem to have a huge traffic due to more obscure product offering and scientific subject (Analyses of Armor Industry versus Golf Advice).
Then I realized that for HP White, Link Data was not about the PR. The url from mozbar was HPWhite.com not the above, I did not notice until I used OSE where same thing was happening. When I cut and pasted the above press release url for HP White and placed it in OSE this changed: PA - 49 DA - 96 (2 links 2 linking root domains) For Golfers advice (0 links from 0 linking domains) Note to all: the links to the PR WEB release for the HP included a low end directory type link and a link from PR WEB (. For Golfer's Advice there was not a link back to the release from PR WEB: Note that Golfer's Advice is a newer release (6 weeks). So, any link from HPWhite release would equal more juice to HP White and PR Web and Vocus. Any link to Golfer's Advice from release offers......???? to Golfer's Advice and who cares to Vocus and PR Web. So, I guess this begs a couple of questions: Why the mozbar link analysis difference for one versus the other? Does PR Web treat some differently than others? Who benefits most from me paying a PR Web to do press releases for a client, PR Web and Vocus or my client and I???? I have tried to order the images to make sense: L to R top, then bottom is last.
