Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Issa

Hi There,

To check if content on my site is plagiarized or not, i copy it from my site and then paste the text in tools available online. They highlight the green text as UNIQUE and in red as PLAGIARIZED. When I click the plagiarized content to see which OTHER SITE is using the same content as that of mine, it leads me to the pages of my own site. I am confused on this. Where is the other site.

Can somebody help how to find the other sites online that have similar content as that of mine. Or there is some fault in my understanding??

Thanks

Hi,

My question is very focussed regarding these 2 tools.

Is it correct to understand that MoZ tells keyword difficulty and not which keyword is easy to compete. And SEMRush tells which keyword is easy to compete but does not tell which keywords are difficult to compete?

I mean one (Moz)  misses the one part and the other (SEMRush) misses the other part.

Hope some will enlighten me to the point.

Hi There,

1- Does MoZ provide the data on “which keyword searchers are searching in a particular market”, so that I can make a better decision regarding my own keywords?If MoZ does not do this what other best tool is out there in market for this particular purpose?

2- Suppose I decide some keywords for my site and start doing optimization for them. "Does MoZ tell me “how much traffic my those keywords are receiving with the passage of time”. If MoZ does not do this what other best tool is out there in market for this particular purpose?

3- Does Moz give "data on competitors keyword activity also"? If MoZ does not do this what other best tool is out there in market for this particular purpose?

Hope somebody with concrete knowledge and experience will enlighten me.

Cheers

Hi Patrick and Kane thanks for your insights, got some lead to work forward. Thanks again

Hi There,

I have my main site : example.com

and

a related blog https://blog.example.com/

My management does not believe frequent content posting on the example.com

My Queries

1- Will it help boost ranking of **example.com **if we share frequent content on our blog https://blog.example.com/? How much impact it has?

2- Every body says content is the king, Ok fine, but when you are not allowed to share it on the main corporate site, then where to share it? Blog and social media sites? please help.

3- We are in a business where clients do not bother to go on sites and read, so in this scenario is it correct to say that you hav to create the content for search engine consumption even when your clients dont need it/or have not in the habit of reading it?

Hope somebody will enligten me caught in catch 22.

Regards

Tanveer

Thanks Peter and Chiaryn

Hi,

I ran a search of more than 10 of my competitors in Open Site Explorer to have insights on their social activity. In every case I found "NA" marked against Twitter data. Does it mean there is no activity being performed by the urls against which i am running the query? Or it is something else?

Wondering since there is much activity and data of course against Facebook and Google+ (same urls yeh!)

Anybody could find time to share her/his knowledge please.

Hi Kelly,

The Daily SEO Fix Videos are a great stuff to watch to understand Moz - how it works. A bit disappointed to learn you are closing down this particular project. Hoon Not so happy!

As for suggestions:

1- Design a video tutorial project where one could have a holistic view of at least one area rather than coming up with small tiny part of a functionality. Look, in the case of your videos related to link building, i think there are 7 in total you people posted so for involving 4 MoZ Tools: OSE, FWE, Moz Bar and Link Intersect Tool. It become a bit overwhelming to make mental connection of 4 tools to reach one objective i.e. effective link building.

I would suggest to shift your focus from the Moz Tool Function to User's Objective. Tell users how they can take care of every thing related to link building using Moz different functionalities.

2- It certainly requires more time to video  may be upto 6 to 7 minutes, would be happy if you could do so.

Hope I am able to convey myself, if you feel I am creating confusion i will be happy to explain myself further.

Good Luck in your future efforts.

Hi,

Can some body explain me in simple terms that how Moz can help me see if there is any traffic on keywords for example a, b, and c i have decided for my site. And If there is no/low traffic then what I should do next? How many options are available to me to bring up traffic to my keywords?

Thanks

Hi Folks,

Thanks for generously responding to my query. Yeh I feel there must be some more information about the sites I am talking about.

Sites are actually web-based applications to be used by our existing clients and will be completely available to search engines for indexing except the applications.

Login areas and the applications onward have different urls not for search engine consumption but for the users only.

Each site has only one product (application) to be sold/used by the clients. Rests of the promotional pages are very few and available to search engines. And I expect management is not interested to add up any more pages, even the one site has not even a single page so for except the application and login area.

Hope this information is enough to help you frame you response to this specific situation.

The sources you suggested I am consulting and in the meantime hoping to listen from you.

Thanks

Hi Everybody,

I have two e-commerce sites just launched with not much content at the moment just user login pages for the clients to avail the service. The management is not interested to put much content there i think. Maximum what they will be putting only 5 pages of content in total, not more than this. Any practical tips how to optimize such sites especially when there is not much content.

Hi MoZ Community,

Does anybody know how well is Microsoft SEO Toolkit. As far i have noticed  this tool reports around 20 violations under three broad areas like : SEO, Content and Performance.

On many violations I have found MoZ to be silent like :

1-unnecessary redirects

2-Invalid mark ups

3-Missing Tag

4-like vilations and others

Important is that it tells solutions as well against each violation on how to fix that. Any body can give insights while comparing it with MoZ.

Tanveer

Hi MoZ Community!

Moz weekly crawl used to report following errors : I have fixed them all over the time. Can somebody give an idea what to do next with the help of Moz or away from Moz to improve my optimization practices. I believe this is just start of the SEO. Or how is it if I focus link building efforts and start fighting for keywords. Also any suggestions about the web?

Hi Chris you really brought some extra information, thanks for that going the extra mile.

Hi William and LJ Digital thanks for clarifying!

Hi Christy, Thanks for the details, its clear, you really did not leave any thing.

Hi Dennis,Chrissmithps and Chris Menke thanks, its a good staff to help. Thanks again!

Moz weekly reports, among other things, the "Duplicate Page Title". How can I identify which two urls/pages have duplicate page titles? Is there any simple way to trace?

1- Are there steps to find quality natural links related to my industry? Or say

2- What processes i need to follow to reach out to quality and natural links?

Tanveer

Sometime back my site was penalized due to unnatural artificial and deceptive links. Then we got removed the penalty  by uploading file in Disavow Tool. Bad links are decreasing gradually now . What i am concerned to ask is that:

1: For how long i should wait till Google removes all the requested bad links

2:Second, i believe there are still many bad links that I dont want to keep. How to remove them now onward? Should we send Google a reconsideration request for removing the remaining bad links (site has been recovered already and no more under penalty banner)

Tanveer

Hi,

This forum has proved to be quite active and useful for me. Can any body help me about "Meta Refresh" that Moz weekly report shows as error. My site is not that which needs daily basis or say hourly basis update. We change the content but not daily. Should i address this issue or just ignore it. what impact does it may have if i ignore it.

Thanks,

Tanveer

What to do with long meta titles on press release pages. Unlike other pages on the site, press release pages have no physical value and are dynamically created picking data from the database. Such pages i notice are automatically picking the URL/H1 as meta title and meta description. How to shorten such meta titles and descriptions?

Do such errors (related to dynamically created pages) matter?

Tanveer

Hello,

Ok fine, if we remove the meta keywords, then how we determine that our site is being reached (or reachable) against certain keywords. I mean how we can asses that which keywords (in our titles and descriptions) perform on our site?

Will we carry on adding and testing/analyzing  keywords (obviously from the titles and descriptions) in the moz keywords ranking tool??

Hope i am bale to convey my concern

More power to your responding capacity!!

Tanveer

Hi,

Thanks for sharing the insights. So you mean to say we need to focus on meta titles and meta descriptions only and remove the meta keywords?

Regards

Tanveer

Hi Jarno can you please explain your this part of the response: " We then used the Social Media integration with titles and descriptions -> Google suddenly changed them too and we started ranking pos. 1 and 2 with some pages. "

I think you are pointing out something unique and interesting. I mean how to integrate SM with titles and descriptions. Good if you could be able to give one or two examples on this.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Tanveer

How often we need to replace our meta titles, meta descriptions and keywords so that we are able to find which one works and which does not. Can we make some schedule like on monthly or quarterly basis. What are the best practices in this regard?

Hi Keri,

I agree with your this statement: "Honestly, when people are looking at tools, I almost never hear someone talking about Alexa".

Tanveer

My colleague is continuously arguing with me why i went for Moz and why not for Alexa, He also says when Google is there then why Moz. I tried on my part to convince him but he has his own learning. Can anybody help me make him understand otherwise my job will become hard if he remains doubtful about Moz? Looking for down to earth and an honest feedback. Thanks

Tanveer

The Moz community is unexpectedly quick to respond, it seems like every body is worrying about each others concerns and helping to learn. Thanks Keri, Bryan,Ruben and altecdesign.

Cheers

Tanveer

Hi Keri,

Thanks for the tip.

I have entered a campaign for my website; at this stage can I enter more keywords? Second what do you think what basic things I have missed while launching this campaign and how can I add them up?

Tanveer

I am new to Moz, wondering where to starts. Some questions to ask if somebody could help.

1-Why there is a limit of 5 campaigns, and if I exceed the number then what to do?

2-How often I should enter a campaign?

3- When a campaign is entered how much time it takes to complete result on it?

4-The dash board with results shown in the Getting Started With Moz Analytics Video appears nowhere in my account, how to reach that place?

Tanveer

Hi Keri,

Everybody has a different learning style. Some pick from written words, other from videos (that always leave the actual stuff to be taught) and some others from chat service or a walk through. I don't expect Moz  helping me with SEO things but must tell the users how to use the application that Moz created with the help of so many people working at a pace convenient to them. If there is no user-convenient support its a wastage of time and frustration.

Tanveer

Bryan

Thanks for the tip.

Tanveer

Hi Ruben,

Thanks for directing to the proper place and sharing your initial frustrations using Moz.

Tanveer

New users when sign up to an application like Moz need concrete support to make them familiarized the basics at least, but Moz seems to be not realizing this hardship of the new users or intentionally ignoring it. There is no chat service or phone numbers to quickly contact the designated agent for some quick help. Mail responses that are received after much time have their limitations -- not much interactive. What the new users should do, because the Moz is not that simple for new users.
