SEO software for multiple views - Responsive web design
-
We have a responsive web design website and noticed this morning that we are ranking better on a cell phone search than on a PC search. There has been talk about this happening. My competitors do not have cell phone views or responsive websites.
Does anyone know if Moz is planning on adding this kind of ranking information to their reports?
Thanks Carla

Hi guys!
Thanks for the question
I am glad you asked that. Currently the SERP collector we are using assumes few IPs and identities to scrub all of the personalization and "biases" that are associated with normal search to give you the most accurate ranking. Mobile search is is fundamentally biased since your phone is a wealth of personalized data and information search engines use to produce rankings (another reason why user data is such a valuable commodity). While mobile rankings is something we are looking for the in the future, at the moment our result remains as a computer search rankings.
We really appreciate feedback and feature requests; they help us decide what parts of our software development to prioritize. Here's the feature request forum we use to collect ideas:

You can vote for features you'd like to see and suggest your own, both of which help our product team in deciding what to build next. Add your request there and hopefully we'll see it come to fruition sometime down the line. Thanks again, and best of luck!
Have a great day,

Hi David,
Thanks for your contribution. I didn't realize Google had different kinds of bots but now that you said it makes a lot of sense. If Google did have a bot for each device it seems like MOZ would have to have one too to be able to produce accurate ranking reports for each device.
Thanks!

- Google Tablet Bot
- Google PC / Laptop Bot
- Google Smart TV Bot???

I have no idea what MOZ is planning to do but you have to love the SEO benefits of offering mobile friendly sites and video as well.
I have had the 1, 2 or 3 spot for SEO my town for nearly 3 months from a half hour of work with video and while we have double the amount of desktop traffic we are tracking 3 times as many of our sales or goals from mobile devices.
I just want to inject, we had a client worried that this was hurting their desktop results because they were scoring better on mobile but it is not an indicator of that at all. Google bot Mobile is one index and Google bot is another. The mobile simply has few competitors and is easier to rank in. This is why you do not have to worry about duplicate content when you chunk out pages for mobile as long as you make your sitemaps correctly.
I didn't serve to answer your question at all but I loved seeing your post and had to comment.

Is one page with long content better than multiple pages with shorter content?
(Note, the site links are from a sandbox site and has very low DA or PA) If you look at this page, you will see at the bottom a lengthy article detailing all of the properties of the product categories in the links above. http://www.aspensecurityfasteners.com/Screws-s/432.htm My question is, is there more SEO value in having the one long article in the general product category page, or in breaking up the content and moving the sub-topics as content to the more specific sub-category pages? e.g. http://www.aspensecurityfasteners.com/Screws-Button-Head-Socket-s/1579.htm

New pages on my web site
I have created web sites that appear somewhere on Google in hardly any time at all, but I appear to have forgotten something or things are different for pages added recently to an existing website. I have added a page on a particular subject, optimized it using on page grader, so that I get an A, and a check mark for everything except H1 tags and rel=canonical which my web hosting provider does not support. I do have a check mark for accessible to search engines The page has the format http://www.domain.com/specific-keyword It is in the menu, so should have internal links to it, as I understand it. I have created a new site map, and submitted it in webmaster tools. Interestingly it says that of the 96 pages only 76 were indexed is this a clue? and why would they not index a page I have then shared the page on google plus, facebook, tumblr, pinterest and twitter and some others In OSE it comes up as domain authority 28 page authority 1, the social media shares do show up in metrics on the right but no links internal or external are shown, they do on other pages I created in the same way. Is it just a case of waiting or is their something I do to help thank you

How do you get your web site recrawled with Moz without waiting for a week?
My initial crawl was screwed up because of a no follow that needed to be removed. I would like Moz to recrawl the site right away so I can find any other errors.

Can I create a sterile SEOmoz login for a new SEO guy in my company?
We have just hired a new SEO guy and he wants to know what tools we have for link analysis. I would like for him to be able to use my SEOmoz tools, but i do not want him to have access to payment, billing, changes to the account, etc. Is this currently possible?

Multiple Anchor text Links to 1 Page
Hi, Currently we have this page on our site - http://www.highstreetvouchers.com/gift-vouchers/gift-vouchers-cards.jsp It contains both "Gift Vouchers " & "Gift Cards" content which are 2 keywords we are targeting for. Currently the top nav link anchor is "Gift Vouchers & Gift Cards" If we were to change the top nav to be "Gift Vouchers" & "Gift Cards" as different tabs, both linking to the same page, what might be the SEO consequences? thanks
