Hi Luca! So sorry for the wait. Yes, Google is able to load, crawl, and index pages written in Javascript. There are mixed reports as to how well, exactly, but your research is correct.

RE: Creating a site search engine while keeping SEO factors in mind
Hi there! My immediate thought is that search engine crawlers will have a tough time finding those old photos, anyway, if the only way to reach them is through your custom search. Crawlers don't run searches.
Will those images be on your sitemap?

RE: Onsite calendar throwing out thousands of pages
Personally, I'd think noindex/nofollow would be a decent solution, provided you don't mind those pages never ranking. You could also block the calendar in robots.txt.

RE: In Wordpress getting marked as duplicate content for tags
For what it's worth, our advice for this is generally to noindex the tag pages, as they're generally not pages that need to rank.

RE: How can I reduce my high bounce rate?
Hi there! Just checking, are you referring specifically to your AdWords bounce rate? Or your bounce rate in organic search? Or both?
-
RE: Onsite calendar throwing out thousands of pages
Hi Luke! It might help if you can let us know how the calendar is set up. Is it embedded from a third-party? Is it some sort of plugin? And what CMS are you using:
The more information you can provide about the calendar and your site, the better. Bonus points if you can provide some URLs.

RE: Best practices for lazy loading (content)
Hi John! In order to get you an answer that directly relates to what you're trying to do, would you be able to give us more information about your goals with this? As in, what sorts of pages, specifically, you're intending to implement lazy loading on? And as Sergey asked, is it for the site to load faster for users? For overall user experience?

RE: SEO for business owners course link?
Hi Greg! There's a handful of things that could be—as you can imagine, that's a subject Rand speaks on pretty frequently. I'm thinking you may be looking for this Skillshare course or this Whiteboard Friday. Do either of those look like it?

RE: All metrics appear to be better than our local competitors yet we our ranking doesn't resemble it. Help?
I realize this isn't an answer, but have you ever run a Full SERP Analysis on your keywords in the Moz Keyword Difficulty Tool? There's a video on it here. It might be illuminating.

RE: Older Reports
Hi there!
I'm afraid that there's really no way to access past reports unless you've saved them yourself. However, you can look at your historical rankings using the ranking history CSV.

Community Discussion - Are annotations an overlooked avenue for driving traffic from YouTube?
Happy Friday, Q&A friends!
This week's discussion question comes from Amir Jaffari's YouMoz post from Thursday, January 28. Amir explains how he was able to use annotations to massively increase his YouTube videos' views without using ads, and raise his annotation CTR 22,400%.
Have you tested annotations to see if they dramatically improve conversion rates? What were the results? What other strategies have you tried?

RE: Case studies reflecting success with linkbuilding campaigns
Hi there! There are a ton of link building case studies around. For starters, I'd suggest scrolling through the Link Building category on the Moz Blog; I'm seeing a handful of case studies just on the first page.

RE: Subdomain optimization - advices
Hi Tormar!
I agree with Gaston—the subdomain will be seen as a separate domain, so you should really just optimize it as you would any other domain.
Is there anything more specific you're looking for, here?

RE: Recommendations for top notch US based WP developers
Hi Rosemary!
Thanks for posting to Q&A! Just FYI, though, we don't allow job listings here, which is really what this is. There's a great job board at Inbound.org if you're interested.
I'm going to lock this thread to further responses. Thank you for understanding.

RE: Keyword ranking in google but not in MOZ
Personalized results would be my guess, too. Moz Analytics defaults to national rankings, so it won't take things like your location and search history into account.

RE: Moz Local and NAP
Hi Steve!
I've spoken to one of our Moz Local engineers about this, and they're actually working on a fix right now. We're hoping to have a fix out in the next couple weeks.
In the meantime, he assures me that these very slight inconsistencies are not a problem.
Does that help?

RE: Need Help!
Hi David,
Thanks for posting to Moz Q&A! I'm afraid, though, that the forum is intended to help folks get help with marketing issues that are stumping them, whereas this is really more promotional, or a job listing.
I'm going to lock this thread to further commenting. Thank you for understanding, and please email us at community@moz.com if you have any questions.

RE: Search Keywords, Meta Keywords and Meta Descriptions; Keeping Webmaster Tools Current
Wow, there are a lot of questions in here! I'll take a couple of them:
In Webmaster Tools, "Search Keywords" refers to search terms that are currently returning your site. These are (some of) the searches that are leading people to you.
You can read about meta description here. It's basically your way to have a say in the text that accompanies your listing on the SERPs. Using keywords in your meta description will not help you rank, but it may increase the likelihood that folks will click on your link when they receive your page as a search result, provided they're used as part of relevant, intriguing copy that effectively communicates to potential visitors what they can expect the page to be about.
Meta keywords is an older tag that allows you to list the important keywords for a given page in the page's code itself. It's generally considered out-of-date and to not do you any good. I'd recommend not using it, as it's little more than a great way to tell your competitors what you're working on.
Honestly, it sounds as if you'd really benefit from reading through our Beginner's Guide to SEO. It'll leave you with a much better understanding.

RE: Can these question be deleted?
Hi James!
I definitely understand what you're saying. Please know that getting every question answered to the best of our ability is a top priority for us. When we, as admins, see that one hasn't been answered, we utilize an entire staff of expert Associates to whom we assign questions. In fact, an Associate had been assigned to your question shortly after it was initially posted; he just hadn't gotten to it yet.
Because our Associates and our community members are located all over the world and have their own careers to consider, often it takes a day or two—and, occasionally, more than that—to get an answer. This is especially the case if it's a particularly complex or specific question. It looks as if you removed the text of this question the same day it was posted which, frankly, is nowhere near enough time to determine that the question won't be answered.
Let me know if you have any questions about Q&A or our admin process.

RE: Is using part of a meta description already on your site for another product considered duplicate?
By my understanding, meta description isn't generally something that will affect your SEO, either positively or negatively. Because it exists as part of the page, it's part of the content that search engines would compare when considering whether or not two pages are duplicate, but provided the main page content is reasonably robust it shouldn't make that much of a difference.
What it will affect, though, is your clickthrough rate from the SERPs. Think of it as free ad space—it's what will entice searchers to click on your listing. If you feel like the same description would serve that purpose for two different products, you should be safe.

RE: Benefits of Several Backlinks from same Web 2.0?
Hi Jubaer,
It's definitely true that there are "diminishing returns" when you get multiple links from the same domain, but remember that search engines treat subdomains are distinct domains.

RE: Can't see the woods for the trees
Hi Jon,
I recommend this often enough that it might be getting annoying to forum regulars, but one thing I'd suggest is to run a Full SERP report in the Keyword Difficulty Tool (part of Moz Pro) and check out the ranking factors for the top 10 sites sites for that term. It might give you a sense of where to go from here.
There's a video on that report here.

RE: How to target slight variations in ecommerce store
Think of it from the point of view of your visitors. If you think there's enough to say about a particular keyword as a topic to warrant an entire page, then go for it. If it seems more likely that the information on the page would feel redundant, then you'll probably want to hold off.
Does that make sense?
