On page report card 410 error
-
I have been trying to test my site through the on page report card using our primary keyword phrase, however, I keep getting the following error message:
We were unable to grade that page. The page did not load. Got a 410 response code from server
If I try the same search and keyword phrase on other sites, it does work. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Nick,
Sure, URL: http://www.duesoon.com.au/store/pregnancy-pilates/ and keyword phrase 'Pregnancy exercise dvd'. I have tried this tool using various URL's from my site as well as keywords and receive the same error message. I am very new at SEO stuff and we are currently employing our web developer to work on some major keywords for us. I am trying to broaden my SEO knowledge so that I can upload new products and content in a google friendly way, and so that I can identify and target other keywords in the future. Our domain is hosted on our webdevelopers server, so I wonder if the comment Valery made regarding the server blocking the MozBot could be the issue. I have contacted our developer to check.
I very much appreciate everyones help and suggestions as well as the excellent tools and information provided by SEOMoz!

Hey there!
Do you mind sharing the URL and kw? I would love to take a deeper look at the issue.

Hi Naomi,
Since the problem is happening when you are using the On-page Tool, I would suggest you send an email direct to the SEOmoz Help Team providing the URL, keyword phrase and campaign number (if there is one). Any time that you are seeing results from the tools which seem strange, it is a good idea to ask the Help Team
The address to send your request to is help [at] seomoz.org
Hope that helps,
Sha

410 is a weird error to be having; it means 'this page is gone'. Not 'missing' (404) but just 'gone', as in the server knew it had that page at one point and now no longer does. There's only two things I can think of off-hand that might cause it:
1. MozBot is messing up somehow, and returning this weird error message when it should be reporting a 'real' error (e.g. 'blocked by robots.txt', 404, 401, etc.) Double check your robots.txt entries, if any.
2. Your server is somehow configured to give the 410 message to the MozBot. I assume you're not getting this message when you visit this page in a normal browser. On UNIX platforms you might want to check the .htaccess file and see if there are any directives that end in [G], or have custom error handlers like in this article:

My site on desktop browser: page 2 /mobile browser: page 0
Using my two most pertinent keywords in Chome my site shows up page two. Using the same keywords on my iPhone does not show my site at all (I clicked on to page 15). I have a mobile ranking of 84 on Google PageSpeed Insights. Could be a bit higher but not enough to totally ignore my site. What am I missing?

Page grader says we are keyword stuffing but we arn't. Page source shows different story.
Hi community! We have just run a page grader for the keyword 'LED Bulbs' on whichledlight.com and it comes up that we are keyword stuffing! However, a brief look at the source for the homepage and there's only 6 times that LED Bulbs pops up. We do have the non plural version of the word 'LED Bulb' on the page 27 times.. do we think that would contribute to the keyword stuffing? Thanks!!

Category Page Content
Hey Mozzers, I've recently been doing a content audit on the category and sub-category pages on our site. The old pages had the following "profile" Above The Fold
On-Page Optimization | | ATP
Page Heading
Image Links to Categories / Products
Below the Fold
The rest of the Image Links to Categories / Products
600 words+ of content duplicated from articles, sub categories and products My criticisms of the page were
1. No content (text) above the fold
2. Page content was mostly duplicated content
3. No keyword structure, many pages competed for the same keywords and often unwanted pages outranked the desired page for the keyword. I cleaned this up to the following structure Above The Fold
H1 Page Heading 80-200 Word of Content (Including a link to supporting article)
H2 Page Heading (Expansion or variance of the H1 making sure relevant) 80-200 150 Words of Content
Image Links to Categories / Products
Below the Fold
The rest of the Image Links to Categories / Products The new pages are now all unique content, targeted towards 1-2 themed keywords. I have a few worries I was hoping you could address. 1. The new pages are only 180-300 words of text, simply because that is all that is needed to describe that category and provide some supporting information. the pages previously contained 600 words. Should I be looking to get more content on these pages?
2. If i do need more content, It wont fit "above the fold" without pushing the products and sub categories below the fold, which isn't ideal. Should I be putting it there anyway or should I insert additional text below the products and below the fold or would this just be a waste.
3. Keyword Structure. I have designed each page to target a selction of keywords, for example.
a) The main widget pages targets all general "widget" terms and provides supporting infromation
b) The sub-category blue widget page targets anything related and terms such as "Navy Widgets" because navy widgets are a type of blue widget etc"
Is this keyword structure over-optimised or exactly what I should be doing. I dont want to spread content to thin by being over selective in my categories Any other critisms or comment welcome0 -
Page rank question
Hi all, pretty standard SEO question that I'm sure you are all getting asked day in, day out... the following page: http://www.3wisemonkeys.co.uk/dvd/portable-dvd-player-car/ It's targetting keywords "portable dvd", "portable DVD player", "portable DVD players" & "portable dvd player for car". The page gets a grade A via Moz analytics On-page grader for the keywords. We have incoming links and I believe the page is structured correctly with all meta tags, H1 etc and tried not too overload the tags with keywords. We have the keywords in the URL etc. We are still stuck on page 2 for all phrases. Any thoughts or suggestions as to what we are doing wrong please? Any help would be great.

Changing the url of a page
Hello. I would like to change the url of a page. It currently has very few inbound links. I would set up a 301 redirect to the new url. Is there anything else I should take into account before changing the url? Is there a downside to changing a url? Do inbound links carry the same value when a 301 redirect is involved? Thank you!

How dangerous are duplicate page titles
We ran a SEO crawl and on our report it flag up duplicate pages titles, we investigate further and found that these were page titles from the same product line that had more than one page, e.g 1-50 (products) 51-100 (products) with a next button to move to the following 50 products. These where flagged as duplicate page titles ".../range-1/page-1" and ".../range-1/page-2" These titles are obviously being read as duplicates but because they are the same range we do not know what the best course of action is. We want to know how detrimental these page titles will be to our SEO if at all. If anyone could shed some light on this issue it would be a massive help. Thanks

On Page Optimisation Reports
Firstly sorry if this has already been answered - I did look I promise.
On-Page Optimization | | Jock
Secondly sorry if the answer to this is blatently obvious! In the process of trying to optimise my landing pages, I am using On Page Optimisation reports. I have several (ok lots) with F grades which is not surprising as the landing page is not the landing page optimised for a certain keyword. If I change the landing page to the one that I have for a certain keyword then hey presto A or B grade (clever me)! Now here's the thing - presumably the landing page that is listed by default is the one that Google "sees" for a particular keyword. How do I change this if I can or do I have to be patient or am I just being plain daft?! Many thanks0
