We recently found our site had 65,000 tags (yes 65K). In an effort to consolidate these we've started deleting them. MOZ is now reporting a heap of 404 errors for tag pages. These tag pages should not have links to them so not sure how come they're being crawled. Any suggestions from experience in this area would be useful.

Hey Mozers,

This is an old and often criticized method of SERP however we have a client who has requested we create suburb specific pages for their site.

PLASTIC PLANTS "SUBURB" NEED PLASTIC PLANTS IN "SUBURB"

They have shown us a competitor who is ranking for hundreds maybe thousands of suburbs in Australia using this method.

Any thoughts or experience in this area would be appreciated.

Thanks Oleg, are you saying that a piece with an article that goes into 3 breaks article/1 and article/2 and article/3 only counts as one visit if someone clicks through to all 3 pages?

Hey guys,

A client has asked us to install a page break function on their Wordpress site in the hope of increasing page count.

It's a very common practice but have never used it as part of a strategy. Any thoughts, pros or cons?

yep that's right you can get data on links to your facebook page

Hey Mozzers!

Trying this one again as my timing was probably pretty bad with Easter.

Working with a company who has about 20K followers on Facebook and about 500 backlinks to their current facebook page. They want to change the name of the page to better reflect the business. I need to advise on this but I'm not sure of and how it will effect them.

Any one had any experience in this area?

Hey Moz

Does anchor text with punctuation effect anything, does google even read it?

I know matching exact anchor text to high volume keywords doesn't matter as much any more - but it still definitely makes a different as our reports show.

Thanks

Thanks, great answer - will update the template I think

Hello,

Moz is showing that a site has duplicate content - which appears to be because of tags and categories. It is a relatively new site, with only a few blog publications so far. This means that the same articles are displayed under a number of different tags and categories...

Is this something I should worry about, or just wait until I have more content? The 'tag' and 'category' pages are not really pages I would expect or aim for anyone to find in google results anyway.

Would be glad to here any advice / opinions on this

Thanks!

Hello

I have a campaign in Moz that shows a new site as having no domain authority and no links.

The site does have links to it, but they don't show up on OSE.

Does Moz count links in the comments section of blogs (or is this counted as social, when the commenting system is one that requires facebook login?) I know blog comments are not great for SEO, I just use them when the post/link is 100% genuinely relevant. The site does have actual links on websites not just comment links, so it isn't showing any type of link.

What is the best way to see the links the site has?

Thanks!

Hi there!

It's not uncommon for positions to seem like they are stuck for weeks or even months. We've simplified this step by using open site explorer to study the competition who rank higher than us and see why. We call this a term ceiling and it's based on MANY factors but the good news is one good link can help you break through that ceiling. Hope that helps.

Thanks guys I'll wait until the month cycles through and see if anything has changed.
