Moz keyword mention on-page counting errors
-
Hi.
Moz is showing 18 mentions of the keyword 'street furniture' on this landing page https://www.broxap.com/street-furniture.html
But I can only count 6 in total in the body copy and 13 if you include navigation links. This is the same on other pages too for that keyword. Does anyone know where it's counting these extra keywords from? I don't want to fall foul of keyword stuffing but as far as I can see we're not! Could Moz be miscalculating?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Joe

Ok thanks, makes sense. Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

For optimisation purposes I would only look at the body as you can't really help repetitions in navigation, breadcrumbs etc on an ecommerce website, but Moz is probably counting all occurrences within the page source code but outside of tags (so not page titles or meta tags or alt attributes but all occurrences within the menu whether visible or not - they are visible in the source code).

Ah, got ya, thanks
I was under the impression the count was based on body copy only and didn't include navigation links. But I guess that's not the case then!

Hi, I can see a few more. 6 in the text main body + 2 in the menu in the main body + 2 in the sidebar menu + 1 breadcrumb + 1 in the top level navigation + 6 in the opened top level navigation. That's 18.

Has using Moz got me banned from Google search?
Dear fellow Mozzers, For the last couple of weeks when ever I do a google search I have to enter a captcha code. Now I hardly use google anymore which is annoying ! Then I went onto support.google.com and saw this: Â Â https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/86640?hl=en&ref_topic=3378866 "Automated traffic includes: Sending searches from a robot, computer program, automated service, or search scraper Using software that sends searches to Google to see how a website or webpage ranks on Google" Is Moz alone doing this? Thanks in advance for your response. Ash

Keyword Difficulty and Analysis
Hi There - I'm using MOZ's keyword difficulty and analysis tool to understand the difficulty of a given set of keywords. To my surprise- I appear number 1 on Google, for a keyword with a difficulty of 36% On the other hand, for few other with difficulty in range 16% - 25%, I appear on the second or third page. In regards to page optimization, and back links i'm far better off on these ones than the other one (with 36%). Any reason why that would be the case ? PS: I've already analyzed the possibility of DA or PA, but it doesn't make sense. As the latter ones always scores better. Thanks, K
