Why does Moz uses the Bing search volume instead of Google?
-
If i want to check search volume of a key word its done in Bing, but i would like to know the Google search volume for my customers. How do you change this??
Anybody ??

Totally agree with this Linda.
Just wanted to add that Moz did have a blog about Keyword volume tools which talks specifically about the pros and cons of using Google Adwords for exactly this.
Hope this helps

You cannot change it. Google does not allow Moz and other sites to use their data this way, so that is why Moz uses Bing. To get Google data, you need to sign up for Google Adwords and use their tool. (You do not have to be actively using Adwords, just signed up.)

Page Title showing Twice when I check it through Moz Bar
Hello Experts, I have a brand new website. And I know I have to do lot of things and make changes for better SEO. With that in mind, I recently installed Mozbar. I was checking one of my posts the other day and noticed Page Title is appearing twice in Mozbar.Please see the screenshot below. Could you please guide me what could be causing this? FYI, I have installed Yoast SEO Plugin. Also, I can see "Alt Text" is picking lot many words which are from other images or posts...Is there any way to customize that as well? KhP9y

How do I go about fixing my High Priority issues that SEO moz says I have on a PHP site?
I am been trying to deal with this problem for some time now. I have talked to several IT people and SEO moz. None seem to know how to fix these issues on the type of site our company is. Our biggest issue with is Duplicate Page Content. We also have some title issues. Our site is built with PHP coding and variable, meaning the site is not a typical static website. We have a handful of pages that are dynamic depending on what the users chooses to see and do. So, my problem is I can't just go to a specific page and put the canonical or the redirect. It isn't multiple pages for our category pages, for example, it is just one that builds the page depending on the search. Please help!

MOZ Onpage grade and Google ranking.
I have found for years that there is not necessarily any connection between the onpage given by Moz and the SEO ranking. "F" page can be #1 in Google for long periods of time, and "A" pages can be unranked. I do not see the consistency, so I am unsure how much time to spend optimizing as suggested. I know there are many factors in rankings, but I just wanted to point out that this lack of consistency makes me hesitate to make changes to well-ranking pages -- especially with algorithm changes happening all the time. It seems that everything is considered over-optimization of late, even if it is all natural language. It is hard to NOT use words or synonyms sometimes on pages, for example... Thank you for your great product. I just want to know how my time to spend on this matter or turn my attention to off-page factors where the inconsistency is hard to figure out.

Moz Report: Number of Domains linking to Domain
In the Moz report, what does the "number of domains linking to domain" indicate? I'm analyzing our competitors link profile and noticed some numbers as high as 2369232? Is there a form that explains the reports a little more in detail? Thanks,

Crawl Diagnostics: Exlude known errors and others that have been detected by mistake? New moz analytics feature?
I'm curious if the new moz analytics will have the feature (filter) to exclude known errors from the crwal diagnostics. For example, the attached screenshot shows the URL as 404 Error, but it works fine: http://en.steag.com.br/references/owners-engineering-services-gas-treatment-ogx.php To maintain a better overview which errors can't be solved (so I just would like to mark them as "don't take this URL into account...") I will not try to fix them again next time. On the other hand I have hundreds of errors generated by forums or by the cms that I can not resolve on my own. Also these kind of crawl errors I would like to filter away and categorize like "errors to see later with a specialist". Will this come with the new moz analytics? Anyway is there a list that shows which new features will still be implemented? knPGBZA.png?1

Moz Dupe content crawl anomaly
Hi Moz has completed a crawl for a site i'm working on which also has a development area (hence with lots of dupe content) on a sub domain (and this dev area hasn't been hidden from crawlers via password, robots, gwt etc etc). Moz dupe content report is not showing any of these urls though even though my campaign setting is on 'root' domain so i would have thought report should be listing the subdomain urls as dupe content (because they are dupe content). Any ideas ? Cheers Dan
