MOZ Toolbar 3.0: Can't Find the Meta Description On My Page, Why?
-
Hey,
The new MOZ toolbar is unable to identify the meta description on any of the pages for my doman www.1099pro.com. Is there any reason that someone can see why that would be?
The tag should be correct on all pages.
Thanks!

The company page would be suited to the rel=publisher tag
The better way to explain the author tag is like a book.
On the back of the book you don't have info on the publisher but the author the same is true here, the tag is to say who wrote the content not who published it thus the two tags.
So you want to use the author tag on the personal profile or who ever wrote it.
in short: use your personal profile.

Almost there. I've signed up for my authorship under all of the companies under the corporation but I am confused about what to do with the author tag.
Ideally, I'd like the Author to show up as my company and not me personally. Does this mean that I put "https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/117986687211195857413/" (my company page) in the Author tag instead of "https://plus.google.com/105918311011763510846/" (my personal profile with my work email)?
I really appreciate all your help!

It won't change the readability of the meta description just saw it.
First off you need a Google plus account in there at the moment you have "WEBSITE Pro, Inc. (www.WEBSITE.com)"
Some really helpful links to help you are here-
https://plus.google.com/authorship
http://www.searchenginepeople.com/blog/how-to-set-up-google-authorship.html
finally you can test it here -

In short, you just need to put your Google url into the author tag and link the profile with the website.
Any problems let me know.

Thanks Chris,
How should I set the author tag correctly?
I'll give that a shot first.

I'm just guessing but it could be your set up with a canonical to https & the site is https one side note you don't seem to have the author tag set correctly. I'm not sure if at this point if Moz will go into https
Can always give help@moz.com a try they may be able to shed some light it could just be some teething troubles.

A tale of two pages - one ranks great and one doesn't - but they are set up the same way
Hi everyone, First time poster 🙂 I will keep it simple - we have two pages on our website that are set up in the same way (or so we think) but achieve vastly different search engine rankings. We have spent weeks trying to figure out why this should be the case, but to no avail. Perhaps you guys can do a little diagnosis and see what we are missing: for search term: used machine tools www.machinetoolsonline.co.za/buy-used-machine-tools Is working well for us. for search term: new machine tools www.machinetoolsonline.co.za/buy-new-machine-tools is a disaster 😞 In fact, Google ranks our home page which is optimised for other terms, higher. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Moz page optimizer - avoid keyword stuffing
Hi Moz community, A quesiton about our dutch travel insurance website. Two weeks ago we had a ranking drop from 17 to position 35. The project is still fresh (we started in may this year). I quess penguin 4.0 didn't like our rapid linkbuilding. But we also receive a message in page optimization tool for keyword stuffing. When we analyze the homepage www.reisverzekering.net for reisverzekering (meaning travel insurance) Moz suggests to avoid keywords stuffing. But I dont understand, we don't use the keyword that much and Yoast doesnt give this message. How much key

I've had a followed link created from http://www.dubaisharks.com/ pointing to my website - http://www.yallarugby.com but in the reports it doesn't show that there is a link coming fro this website. The link has been active for a few months now, but still no record of it. Any ideas?

Moz metrics
This discussion is strictly theoretical... I won't hold anyone to their answer. If I have 2 websites that are identical in every way and let's say the domain authority for both is 40, and I 301 redirect one site to the other, what would the DA become? Same question for single pages, both with a PA of 40. If I 301 redirect one page to the other, what does the PA become for the remaining page?

Root domain or 'www' subdomain for campaigns?
I am setting up a campaign and I am unsure whether I should specify the root domain (prohibitionhats.co.nz) or the 'www' subdomain (www.prohibitionhats.co.nz). Are there any guidelines for this or will Moz automatically aggregate the data for both irrespective of the domain you choose? Thanks Laurie
