On Page Optimization, F on all keywords?
-
On our website we have all F's even though we have the targeted keyword in the title, url, meta desc, h1, body and some of the img alt's. They still show zero uses of the keyword. Are we missing something here or is this some kind of bug or glitch? Any help or advice is appreciated, Thanks.
Keyword: 2015 Toyota Tundra Hilton Head

Looks like our host solved the problem. They mentioned they were blocking the rogerbot crawler. Anyone have an idea of how long we have to wait until the page grades and other info updates in our dashboard?
-
All F's.
Looks like our site devs have fixed the issue. I just ran the page grader and we received an A. I guess we wait until Moz crawls our site again to see our updated info.
-
Have you ever been able to see a non-all F report from Moz? If so, I would see what has changed since then. But yes, your developers should be able to give you the answers you are looking for.
-
I would start with contacting the developers and ask them if they have any clue about it Daniel. Failing that, without having a good root around, it's hard to say at a glance what is going on. There certainly are a lot of more general site issues.

Any ideas of where we should start to narrow down this issue?
-
We are also receiving these issues as well. Seems like its a hit or miss with the crawling.
-
I suspect this is either a permissions problem in the site structure or an issue in .htaccess, neither which we can see.
Aside from some messy code, issues on the cosole log and iframes on the page, I can't see that these would cause the problem because the pages are being cralwed and indexed.

Even the robots.txt page is 403...
-
I get a 403 for every page in the site. Is there something with your host that is blocking crawlers?
Edit-- OK , so it isn't something with your host as I tried to crawl another site on the same server, and that works without issue.

This is our robots.txt file, everything looks normal. Now that you say that, I do notice in our dashboard we have a high amount of crawl issues. At least 1 on each of our campaigns.

We receive a lot of traffic queries from our business name, our physical location name along with the make of vehicles our dealership carries, and quite a bit from year/make/mode/location. (2015 Toyota Tundra Hilton Head)
-
When I try that page in the on-page grader, I get "Sorry, but that URL is inaccessible. " If I put that URL into Screaming Frog, I see it is 403 (forbidden). I can see the page when I enter it into a browser, however.
It seems that something is blocking robot access to this page (although I do not see a robots exclusion)...
-
This might be an aside to the main issue, but this is a search phrase. Do your customers or webusers, actually search for this phrase?
I haven't drilled into this any more, but would be very interested to know which bit of the keyword they would be searching for.
Phrases are really hard to get a good score on in my experience

Here you go! I have also attached a screen shot of the page grader which gives me an error no matter what URL I input.
-
I don't see any reason it wouldn't be pulling the page in. Maybe check on the spelling of the keyword? If you have the right URL and the right keyword, it could be a bug, but hard to say at this point. We might be able to help more with a screenshot.

Confusion on keyword cannibalization ?
Hi I know that targeting more than one keyword per page in a website leads to keyword cannibalization. But for example, if I am into a "CRM" business, I write blogs on CRM every day with various topics like: 1. How can a CRM help your small business? 2. Steps to follow in buying a CRM. 3. How to does CRM help in your customer relationship. It means that I am concentrating the keyword "CRM" in multiple blogs. What should I do in this case? Thanks in advance.

Why is my contact us page ranking higher than my home page?
Hello, It doesn't matter what keyword I put into Google (when I'm not signed in and have cleaned down my browsing history) the contact us page ranks higher than the home page. I'm not sure why this is, the home page has a higher page authority, more links and more social media shares, the website is an established one. When I have checked Google Analytics my home page gets more people landing on it than the contact us page. It looks like people are ignoring the contact us page and scrolling down until they find the home page. I'd appreciate any help or advice you might have. Thank you.

Ecommerce- Keyword use in Product links on Category page
I'm wondering how Keyword use in Product links on Category pages can affect a pages rank? I have 1 site where this seems to be an issue but not on all categories. For this site, a site: keyword search ranks the category page as no.1 in the SERPS but a non-site: search shows 1 of the many products within the category as the highest ranking page (currently 20 in google) on this site. This product is probably the least likely to generate a conversion due to it's cost so this is less than ideal. The plural search of the keyword shows the category page and it ranks higher than the keyword itself (currently 9 in google) Category name and URL = keyword. The category is paginated with 12 products per page. Product URL and anchor text is brand-model-type (where type = keyword) I'd like to keep the product URLs and anchors as they are if I can as they are well searched terms themselves but I want to optimize a category page to rank for the keyword itself. Have any of you overcome a similar issue? Would adding more text to the category page dilute the issue?

On Page Optimization not updating after SSL change
Last week we changed our URLs to be only HTTPS (they were a mixture of both for a couple of weeks). We did this by adding a 301 redirect from HTTP to HTTPS. However, the On Page Optimization is now showing the same URL/Keyword twice for a few of our pages. One has a grade A, one has a grade B. The grade B complains about "Rel Canonical" not matching, but the other doesn't. This is pretty confusing - should it not have crawled the pages and noticed the 301 redirects and combined the entries or removed the HTTP ones?

Onpage optimization different outcomes for keyword with or without accent
I am a little bit confused with the results of the onpage analysis. I am trying onpage optimization for a spanish word which has an accent.. The results differ from Grade A, if i use the keyword with an accent, e.g. ropa premamá (the spanish word for maternity wear) to Grade C if I run the report without the accent ropa premama. I assume that most users will rather search for the keyword without accent. Would this mean that I need to change my keyword to non-accent or doesn´t it matter?

Is reported duplication on the pages or their canonical pages?
There are several sections getting flagged for duplication on one of our sites: http://mysite.com/section-1/?something=X&confirmed=true
On-Page Optimization | | Safelincs
http://mysite.com/section-2/?something=X&confirmed=true
http://mysite.com/section-3/?something=X&confirmed=true Each of the above are showing as having duplicates of the other sections. Indeed, these pages are exactly the same (it's just an SMS confirmation page you enter your code in), however, they all have canonical links back to the section (without the query string), i.e. section-1, section-2 and section-3 respectively. These three sections have unique content and aren't flagged up for duplications themselves, so my questions are: Are the pages with the query strings the duplicates, and if so why are the canonical links being ignored? or Are the canonical pages without the query strings the duplicates, and if so why don't they appear as URLs in their own right in the duplicate content report? I am guessing it's the former, but I can't figure out why it would ignore the canonical links. Any ideas? Thanks0
