None of the pages crawled contain an email address or links to a social profile...
-
I'm trying to reduce the amount of spam flags our website has using the Open Site Explorer tool. Currently, we have 2/17 flags based on:
- Large Site with Few Links - We found very few sites linking to this site, considering its size
- No Contact Info - None of the pages crawled contain an email address or links to a social profile
The "few links" can be ignored, we're working on this.
We don't have a visible email address on the website and we don't particularly want one. We prefer customers to fill out our online form or to call us. Moz say "none of the pages crawled contain an email address OR links to a social profile" - we do have social buttons on every page of the website, but these are official Facebook and Twitter buttons that are rendered with Javascript, so don't actually appear in the page source on load. If we replace these with actual links to our pages using Facebook and Twitter icons, will this flag be removed since Moz are saying "or links to a social profile" - making it sound optional.
Thanks!

I wonder whether Moz would count your social profiles in the website schema as links? Because then you wouldn't need to get rid of the official Facebook and Twitter buttons (if you don't want to).
All you'd need to do is chuck this in your code:
If Moz are just checking the source for the links, maybe that's all they'd need. And Schema is always good

No link to Open Site Explorer from Campaigns tracked keywords?
Hi there, The Guide to tracking your keyword rankings in Moz Pro states that "Click on the keyword to analyze it, the URL to be taken to that page in Open Site Explorer or the Optimize link to get a Page Optimization Score with recommendations.". But my URLs all target to the specific page on my site. I figure it would be nice to dive deeper in analysing specific pages, using Open Site Explorer Is just the link with Open Site Explorer broken, or is the Guide out of date? Thanks, Arnout

Can improving page authority on all pages help overall domain auth?
Our website is made up of approx 4000 pages - some of which are old pages with a pa of 1. I am removing these pages (ensuring they don't have links etc). Can removing so many low scoring and useless pages impact on domain authority. Our DA jumped 4 points and i wondered if this was helping Example 4000 pages in total 2500 have PA 1 - these get removed will it look better for DA that overall there are now no pages where PA =1 and the site now contains higher PA pages only?

Moz Crawl Issue?
So I've been looking over my latest crawl and two of each category appears, the only difference between them is a / at the end, i.e. http://thespacecollective.com/space-clothing/ http://thespacecollective.com/space-clothing One brings in a 200 code while the other brings in a 301. Given that the 301 is in place I know Google won't see it as a duplicate, but I'm curious as to why Moz picks up on this and whether or not there is an issue that needs addressing here?

How does spammy linked site have zero spam score?
I came across a law firm site with hundreds of horrible spam links to it. Of the 3330 links, all but 231 links have anchor text that has to do with "jordan 11s for sale". I'm trying to see how useful the moz spam score is, but clearly it's not reliable if this site has a score of zero. Many of the obviously spammy sites linking to it also have low to zero spam scores, although there are plenty in the 5-10 range. (see attached image). I also noticed that many sites were legit sites, but if you look at the source code, there's tons of hidden spam links in the code (e.g., www.chickasawgardens.net) Why would this site have a zero spam score? If you're curious, put it into open site explorer and have a look. It's a law firm based in Pennsylvania, most anchor text has to do with jordan sneakers and most links are foreign: penn-criminallawyers.com Is the spam score too lenient? Is the moz tool unable to find spam links coming from legitimate sites with hidden spam links? DrokMbP

Page Authority = 1 of linking page?
I am trying to determine if any of our PR services or inbound links are hurting our SEO. To do this I am using the Open Site Explorer tool and checking some of the URL's that link to us. While doing this I found a page that has a Page authority of 1/100 most other links have a decent authority...does this score mean this page has been penalized by Google? If not what else could a 1/100 mean?
