MOZ TEAM - your system done broke my status as a guru
-
Dear MOZ TEAM - WHY, when I have 2990 moz points, and my profile shows guru, does my profile banner in the Q&A itself now say ASPIRANT? Such a cruel world this has become !
I know I've wanted all along to have you come up with any title other than "guru" because that word is so dreaded in our world. Yet seriously - aspirant? I feel like Roger got drunk one night and decided "let's tease Alan"...
-
If I may make a suggestion stars verse gurus, or we all know SEOMoz has a weakness for unicorns
And now that we know unicorns are real Beyond any shadow of a doubt because of the North Korean media

I would propose having unicorns over stars or just how many unicorn horns equal guru or Unicorn master
What do you guys say unicorn master with maybe a photo like the thing shown in this URL. Happy Monday everyone
Sincerely,
Thomas

Roger is very dangerous. He looks so innocent on the outside!
-
I LOVE the notion of stars instead of "guru". But as I am now a lowly aspirant, it will be embarrassing if I only have like a half star or something. NO disrespect to aspirants. We were all lowly at one point.
-
We're trying to address the problems of gurus in the industry Alan!
I've sent off a note to the team and we're looking into this. Longer-term, we are going to replace Guru and Journeyman, as well as replace the labels in Q&A with stars representing the levels, to make things visually easier to understand.

It takes three aspirants to change an SEO lightbulb. One to change the lightbulb and two to explain why it's not probably not important but yet, paradoxically, all the more reason for a long term contract because the situation may change at any time.
-
oh wow. I was hoping you could answer it because I need to know! Isn't the reason I come here so I can get answers to these tough questions?
-
I don't know the answer to that question. But probably a guru would. I wish there were some of them around here.
-
hahaha. The blind wanting to lead the blind. How many aspirants does it take to change an SEO lightbulb?
-
Oh wait. Apparently I am now an aspirant too. Booo.
-
Perhaps Roger has concerns about your experience level Alan. Would you like me to teach you how to do an SEO audit?
-
Thanks for the link! Must have been Roger.
-
It's probably not personal. There is a thread here where are few of us have spotted the same: http://www.seomoz.org/q/bug-with-seomoz-level-display
So either it's a wider bug, or Roger got really drunk and is picking on a bunch of us!

Help talking to an aggressive web team (1st time in the forums)
Hello All! I am a long-time Moz user, but not super technical myself. I'm used to asking a web team to fix something, based on the reports, and they do it. I'm trying to communicate with a really aggressive web team about a site that's showing about 16,000 errors every week on my Moz reports. What I'm trying to figure out is if they are right or not, so I can either ignore them or push harder. Can someone help me with how to explain these to them or let me know if they are right? These are the two biggies I'm struggling with: b. Duplicate page content
Moz Pro | | Renia
Example: https://www.whiteheadindustrial.com/c-104-abrasives.aspx?pagenum=1 and https://www.whiteheadindustrial.com/c-104-abrasives.aspx Their explanation: I wonder if MOZ is not reading the infinite scrolling pages the way that Google does. We have followed Google’s directions for how to let Google know that each page is a successor of the previous one, so no duplicate content. But probably MOZ tool does not view the code on the page the same way. So I think this is not relevant for Google indexint. Second:
Example 2: https://www.whiteheadindustrial.com/p-19708-4-point-mandrel-and-hex-nut-116-hole-18-shank-nocra-13440-m.aspx
https://www.whiteheadindustrial.com/p-30356-working-peanut-knife-no-046-6220-ss.aspx
In Example 2, the only duplicate content I can find is the “Stocking data Current as of… Please note:..” and the Customer Reviews area. c. Duplicate page title
I wonder if MOZ is not reading the infinite scrolling pages the way that Google does; because the duplicate page titles are related to category page I would be super grateful for any guidance!1 -

SEO Moz Tools - too many on the page links result driving me nuts
A while back I remember Rand and I having a conversation about how many links on the page and up until that point I had followed the NO MORE THAN 100 links on a page rule - which is what the MOZ tools are telling me now in the campaigns I have running. But then during a seminar both of us were holding this 100 link rule question came up and Rand commented that this was probably old hat now as the search engines can crawl a much greater number of links in the page. I was encouraged by his answer especially where ecommerce websites are concerned. But the MOZ tool is driving me nuts telling me that this 100 link rule is still something to be adhered too. It is especially frustrating when we are discussing ecommerce website sites with editable mega menus. Examples to support this question are www.bohemiadesign.co.uk or www.flowersbuydelivery.co.uk which are 2 ecommerce sites I am aware of using such mega menus that are editable and give a link count greater than 100. and I am sure there are many more sites like this, even Amazon for example. So, how much notice do we take of this warning in MOZ tools that is telling me about excessive numbers of links on the pages it lists as needing corrected?
