Welcome to the Q&A Forum

On my moz bar it is zero, when i tried website grader, (not sure on how reliable it is) it gave me -1 as in the text above.

But still 0 isnt good I believe I'd be happy with a 4. So ive been working on backilinks and im aware it may take a while, but is this the only way to get a good moz ranking. Or is their something in my optimisation, the reason i ask is because opensite explorer doesn't give me much info on it and my campaign highlights the obvious broken links and errors to me.

I  also cant see my site on google on any page in natural searches. Again I put this down to the moz ranking as the traffic looked okay and was much higher than others and the indexed page i assume has to be okay being higher.

Awesome, cheers, I was trying to work out how to fix it. That will save me a while.

I have a wp site that has a negative rank, how bad is this? and is links the only way to convert this to a positive?

Website Grade 70

Moz Rank -1

Indexed Pages 255

Traffic Rank 10,932,429

Blog Grade Not Graded

Linking Domains 2

You stated that it is due to wordpress, from a novices point of view, I have similar with blog posts, is this fine and a wordpress issue?

Im pretty new to all this so hopefuly im going the right way ive been using SEOMOZ Pro for about 3 weeks.

I have a website and a blog, I noticed that my website (flash based) was not doing very well but my blog was doing well. So i decided to turn my blog into a website for my main website and my old website into another category for my services.

So I have now transferred everything over to my blog and on website grader I have got my rating upto 74/100 from 17/100 which is higher than anyone else in my keyword, my traffic ranking is higher but Im not even in the top 50 in google, they do have more backlins than me significanlty more but I am working on it.

So the question is it the backlinks that help MOZ ranking, and how long does it take before google recognises my links to give me a position on google.

My keywords are coventry wedding photographer and my site is rnblog.co.uk
