How to un-answer a question?
-
Being new here I'm pressing all sorts of buttons and breaking things...
I posted a question, liked someone's answer so click "good answer" thinking it was like a "thumbs up" but it actually set my question to "answered".
How does one set their own question to un-answered?
-
Yes. You are correct. They are called MozPoints. To get more info click on your profile and then click on the "MozPoints" hyperlink. A popup will open and tell you everything about MozPoints.

Ah so people get points?! I'll have to research what they do but don't worry Dana, the points you shall keep!
But yes, a good feature would be to be able to set a question to unanswered.

Hey guys! Thanks for jumping in here. You definitely bring up a good question and the answer is unfortunately that right now you can't change that. We do have a number of issues in the queue to be fixed, and I'll check to see if that's in there as well.
Sorry I don't have a better answer right now!

Good suggestion Nakul!

The question remains open for answers anyways...but you may want to post it as an ongoing discussion instead of a question. I don't think there's anything that can be done except to post it again.

LOL - Okay, I'm the answerer so it's against my own self-interest to jump in and try to help here, lol, but hey, that's the kind of community SEOMoz is.
I actually went into some of my own old Q&A questions and tried to uncheck some answers to see if I could figure out how to do it. No matter what I did I could get the answer to flag from "asnwered" to "unanswered." You can easily change a thumbs up by clicking thumbs down instead and then you can change it back to thumbs up again by clicking thumbs up again.
I think you bring up a great usability point. I totally agree that we should be able to change a question from "answered" to "unanswered," because sometimes we think we have a workable answer but then it doesn't work or requires follow up.
No worries. I don't mind losing the points. I don't want points if I didn't really answer a question.

H1 tag question
I am currently going through the process of optimizing my pages for my given keywords. Most of my pages are receiving an A grading from the Moz page checker, with keywords being found in all elements expect for the H1 tag. For certain pages I have not used a H1 tag, the pages title has been incorporated into the image on the top of the page. This is difficult to explain without showing you so i will use one of my pages to explain, the page is http://www.ecobode.co.uk/garden-uses-3/garden-gym/. The keyword for this page is garden gym, it is found multiple times in the content, URL and other on page elements expect for the H1 tag as I don't have one. The title resides in the image, I know how important H1 tags are but I don't know how I can incorporate into this page. Does anyone have any ideas how I can incorporate the H1 tag into this page? Kind Regards, Tom

Question on redirect and internal link count
After crawl I saw that dup content came from domain.com/index.php and domain.com. I was going to redirect one of them but im curious which way to go. The /index.php has domain auth of 19, the other 17, so not big difference. Domain.com has 2 external linking domains and index.php has 1. The big difference is in the internal link counts where index.php has 76 and the other only 4. So should I direct index.php to / or the other way around?

Stupid question: why SEOMOz has become MOZ?
According to their On-Page Report Card the URL should include the main keyword i.e. SEO in their case, so why do they get an F grade If I check their main page www.moz.com for the keyword SEO? Thanks for your comments!

A 301 redirect to a page with a rel canonical to a page with a 301 question...
MOZ registers thousands of DC and Duplicate titles on a Drupal site which has a little strange setup. Example: www.1234.com/en-us 301 redirects to www.realsite.com/en-us which has a rel canonical to www.1234.com which 301 redirects to www.realsite.com. If you're still with me I thank you.

My question is since MOZ registers errors, if indeed the rel canonical isn't recognized due to a 301 redirect?0 -
On-Page Report Card Questions
First post here, a couple questions as I work through some of the SEOMOZ tool reporting, specifically the On-page Report Card. I've just received the report results yesterday, so working through the data now. There are two issues categorized as critical by the tool: (1) The grader is stating I don't have any instances of the target keyword in my page title, yet it's there. (The page title is too long, but I'm in the process of hacking the blog software to fix this, it's auto-generated by the CMS.) (2) It's also saying under "Broad Keyword Usage in Document" that I have zero instances of the keyword in the body text, and while I certainly don't have enough, there is at least one instance at the bottom of the blog post. All the text is contained with tags. (3) Related to #2, what's the difference between "Appropriate Keyword Usage in Document" under "High Importance Factors" and "Broad Keyword Usage in Document" under "Critical Factors"
