On-Page Grader Levels
-
I see that On-Page Grader reports include a numerical number such as the following:
Keyword Usage for audio book gift certificates = 15
I improved this page (http://www.audiobooksonline.com/audio-book-audiobook-gift-certificates.html) from 3 to 15 today.
What is the maximum "grade" possible?
-
Hey Larry,
The numbers you mentioned are not a grade, they are a count of the number of times that the keyword is used. The maximum grade that you can receive is A.
To answer your second point, we actually do have a section to let you know when you are overusing a keyword. In the on page grad report there is a section labeled "Avoid Keyword Stuffing in Document", which will let you know if you are over stuffing a keyword.
Cheers,

Matt, Chris; Thank you for your comments.
Certainly I don't want to over include keywords into any of our pages.
The On-Page Grader report I received showing 15 uses of the keyword phrase made no mention that I was close to or had exceeded recommended usage. I would think that the On-Page Grader report would let me know if I was over using a keyword phrase. Correct?
Is there such a keyword use recommendation?
I don't see the "Factors Overview" box that Matt refers to.

Larry, don't crank that number up too high--it's not a grade, it's the number of times you used the keyword in each of the elements shown above the total. You really should be looking at a few times in the body and not more than once everywhere else.

Going on the on-page "Factors Overview" box near the top, the max appears to be 36.
But the number you refer to is simply a count of instances of the particular key phrase on the page, which as far as I know has no maximum - it's simply an indicator of what the crawl found for that URL - of course too high a keyword density leads to keyword stuffing and pages that are thoroughly unnatural to read!
We've long moved past the point where keyword density was the be-all and end-all of ranking, so beware trying to get it too high.
Check in the view-source of the page as some (Page Title, Meta Description etc) won't appear in an on-page search in browser if you're looking to confirm the value.

Can building quality links on internal pages help us to improve DA?
Dear expert,
Moz Bar | | jhfdbeaob
I hope that you all are fine 🙂
Today, I am very confused about improving DA of my client website. For example: He has a domain www.abc.com
and he wants me to build a backlinks on different internal pages like
www.abc.com/service-1
www.abc.com/service-2
www.abc.com/service-3 If i build high quality links on internal pages (service pages) rather than building links on main domain (home page). Does the Domain Authority will increase
OR
I have to build links on Main page to boost the DA I am hoping a positive reply from your side Thanks1 -
Why is the Moz tool bar page analysis saying my website is from Romania when we are in the United States?
So when I go to my client's website, https://www.paracore.com/ and on the home page, I use the Moz toolbar. From there I then use the "Page Analysis." If you look at the "URL" line there is a Romanian flag next to the site name. Then I scroll down within the page analysis and the "Country" line says Romania. This is a WordPress site, and the company is based in Arizona. Can anyone explain to me if this is code that I can find and change or remove? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Moz is only crawling 2 pages
Hi, I found a similar thread, but it did not provide a clear-cut answer. We have had this campaign running for over a year, and we are always adding content to the website, but Moz is only ever able to crawl 2 pages, Screaming Frog only picks up 12, but I know there is a lot more than that. None of our pages are set to no-index, so I do not know what is causing this. Welcoming any ideas/solutions. Thanks

How to increase Page Authority
Hi All, I have had some free time lately and have wanted to try and figure out how Moz calculates page authority and what I can do to increase page authority. For instance, I have a real estate site (As some of you may know already) and of course there are places like Zillow.com who have amazing Domain Authority and even page authority for a certain address. So this is just some random address to where most of the local sites I compete with have a PA of 1. Is there a way to get that PA up? Would it be sharing it on Social Media, or writing a blog post about it (which I of course would not want do do with every listing (hundreds) but was curious how Zillow could have such a high page rank on a property that maybe came up a day or two ago. Examples: zillow: http://goo.gl/99A57C my site: http://goo.gl/K6xmW6 Thanks for any guidance!

Keyword Difficulty Score Meter: how to interpret levels
I'm hoping to find what percentages change the levels for the difficulty score meter in the keyword difficulty tool. For example, when does a blue -- non-competitive -- move into the green level, and so forth. Also, I can't find the description (names?) of all the levels (highly competitive, non-competitive, etc). Thanks for your help.

Is there a way to do a mass lookup of Page Authority?
Meaning, is there a way I could look at the Page Authority for 50 pages all in one place? Or do I need to use the MozBar and go page by page? Just looking to save some time. Thanks.
