Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I'm having a hard time figuring out where the noindex value for Meta Robots is coming from so I can fix it.  Can anybody spot the issue or point me to some docs that show were the MozBar finds this information http://www.produnkhoops.com

At the campaign level I see my CTR has been suffering for the last week or two relative to the past few months. It could be a few bad actors casing the downward trend.  How can I quickly and easily locate specific keywords that are trending in the wrong direction? Why filters will not work... They don't take change into account.  I want to identify Keywords that were once doing well are now doing poorly.  Filters will yield all keywords that are doing poorly which is not what I'm looking for.  Obviously I could be missing something with filters but this is my understanding. A few other points to note... I have search partners turned on.  I do not want to take this traffic into account in my analysis. I'd also like to determine if it might be an ad that's not performing as well as it once was.  I assume the same method used to find poorly trending keywords can be applied to ads as well but if not, is there a solution for this?

We have ~3,000 photos that have all been tagged.  We have a wonderful AJAXy interface for users where they can toggle all of these tags to find the exact set of photos they're looking for very quickly. We've also optimized a site structure for Google's benefit that gives each category a page.  Each category page links to applicable album pages.  Each album page links to individual photo pages.  All pages have a good chunk of unique text. Now, for Google, the domain.com/photos index page should be a directory of sorts that links to each category page.  Alternatively, the user would probably prefer the AJAXy interface. What is the best way to execute this?

For example, if I sell widgets and I want my ads to appear for "cyber Monday widget deals" If I add "Cyber Monday" I'll come up for every search related to cyber Monday.  The alternative seems to be putting every possible word combination in such as... blue widget cyber Monday deals
red widget cyber Monday sale
cyber Monday yellow widget
big widgets cyber Monday for sale
etc. As you can see there are almost an infinite number of possibilities there making it unfeasible without doing something programmatically such as... X = Widget Descriptor (empty is a possible value)
ie: big, red, green, blue, fast, slow Y = Widget Synonym (plural considered possible value)
ie: widget, widgets, wiggy-what Z = Deal Synonym (empty is a possible value)
ie: deal, sale, promotion, promo Query Structures...
X Y Cyber Monday Z
Cyber Monday Z X Y
etc. Is there some kind of query match I'm missing as an alternative to this programmatic brute force method?  How have you guys executed this?

I recently received a unnatural link notice from Google.  The thing is, I haven't done any link building in the last two years. So, I looked at my latest links report within Google Webmaster Tools and see where one of our dealer's website has been updated recently and now includes a site-wide link to us. Site note: My brand name as the anchor text ... no keywords nearby. I think this is what may be causing the problem because nothing else within the report really jumps out at me.  Also, it lines up with the timeline.  It looks like they changed their site to include the link at the beginning of April.  Google was noticing the links throughout April and to the present.  I got the notice May 19th. Now, I have a good relationship with this dealer and can have him change anything I want at the drop of a hat. The question is, by having him change it am I admitting to Google wrongdoing and thus hurting myself by inviting further scrutiny.  Should I leave it as is since it truly is a legitimate link? Google having false positives like this really muddies the water. Thanks guys!

For example, if 20,000 people searched for "seomoz toasters," do you think a page on seomoz.org that mentioned toasters would begin to rank well for the query "toasters"?

I've created a gift-guide with some big brand items on it.  I'd like to reach them when I post the gift-guide. Is there a graph that will show me when they are active on their twitter accounts?

We have a seasonal business.  It is of no use to compare this month to last month or even this week to last week. The only real benchmark is to compare the same time period a year ago. I'd like to know how well I'm doing for a certain keyword.  If I compare this month's performance to the same month's performance a year ago, I get corrupt results as much is now hidden in (Not Provided). Any solutions?

Our company is both a store and brand as we sell manufacture direct.  We are not included in Google's "Related Searches for widgets:" Picture attached as reference (we are not selling computers ... just an example) What is Google looking for to pull these brands and stores? hXSLn.gif

80% of my site's organic traffic is coming through a resource that is only somewhat related. Does Google think the main topic of my site is terms this resource targets thus bumping the terms I care about to a sub-topic level of sorts? If this is the case, would putting the resource information into a sub-domain help to solve the problem?
