Hi Gloria,
Thanks for reaching out, and sorry for the confusion! By using the 'Add & Manage Page Grades' option, you should be able to add any URL of your choosing along with a specified keyword :). I hope this helps get your page grades back on track! Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or concerns about this! Have a great day, and happy marketing!
Cheers,
Jordan

Isn't this more to do with the fact that the pages that Moz chooses to grade aren't necessarily the ones that you're optimising, but the ones that you're ranking for in the search results? If your home page is the only page with any authority, you can find it ranking for lots of your main keyword terms.
If the wrong page is ranking you might want to take a look at your site architecture/internal links and the language being used on the page - but be careful, the page ranking might not be a perfect match for the keyword - but it's a whole lot better than having no pages ranking at all!

The grader is just a baseline report generated to give people starting out an idea of why or where their site could use improvement. If you are having issues with a site or URL, I would post it and see what people on here can help with.

LOL. Thanks Don. I'm new to moz and haven't felt this stupid in I don't know how long. Do you know if there's something like a step by step getting started, setting up a campaign - that sort of thing - section? tks!

I learned to ignore the auto grade reports a long time ago. I'm sure somewhere somebody has explained what sort of algorithm they use to generate them, but I haven't seen it. Granted, I have really looked either. I'm happy just running my own reports when I see fit.
Good luck,
Don

Do I have to manually mark as 'fixed' or 'Ignore' manually on Metadata Issues when completed?
When I have amended the missing description Metadata issue on an individual page do I have to manually mark as 'fixed' or 'Ignore'? I have attended to several pages regards Missing Description Metadata Issues and not manually marked them as fixed. However they still appear in metadata missing description issues after a second on demand crawl? Will they continue to appear until I manually mark them as fixed?

When I crawl my site On Moz it says it can't access the robots.txt file, but crawl is fine on SEM Rush - Anyone know any reason for this?
Hi guys, When I try to run a site crawl on Moz it returns an error saying that it has failed due to an error with the robots.txt file. However, my site can be crawled by SEM Rush with no mention of problems with roots.txt file issues. My developer has looked into it and insists their is no problem with my robots.txt and I've tried the Moz crawl at least 6 times over an 8 week period. Has anyone ever seen such a large discrepancy between Moz and SEM Rush or have any ideas why Moz has this issue with my site?? TIA everyone

A difficult keyword displays a difficulty of 3, why?
I´m new to Moz and I was using the keyword analysis tool. When I put a generic term for my country (cheap phones, buy samsung galaxy, etc.) which is obviously one of the most wanted and competitive keywords, MOZ displays a difficulty level of 3 and an opportunity of 100, indicating it´s easy to rank for it, when the main competitors are big transnational companies. Why is this? What do you suggest? Thank you!

I don't believe moz is seeing everything that is on my webpage
I used the page key word grader and got an "F" Moz said that my keyword employee handbook was not in my title nor was it found in the body of my page. But when I look at the page and double check everything it is there all over the place. I am not blaming moz this is a wiz site and while I am a beginner and very well could be wrong could anyone just take a look and tell me if I am nuts or what. The web page is http://www.cestoday.com/#!employee-handbook/co0h I now have the font so big I will have to fix that. Thank you

Moz profile
Hi, For some reason when I try and add my site's link in my Moz profile I keep getting an error. My site an SSL so I used https instead of http. I tried again without the 's' as my domain redirects to the https version, but this didn't work. Then I tried without http or https and this didn't work either. Why does Moz hate my site? It's actually really good!!! Thanks, Amelia
