Significant Benefits from KW Usage
-
We're wondering how important it is to use a keyword at least 4 times versus say 2. Often times we use our keywords once or twice within the body of our pages with appropriate H1 and Alt text use.
Will we notice significant SEO benefits by using the KW at least 4 times given that we are scoring 'A's on almost all our pages via the On-Page Keyword Optimization Tool?
Thanks!

Using the keyword 4 times instead of 2 in your body content will probably do nothing. If you simply add to your existing content and include the keyword 2 times in the new content you are adding, then yes, you could get some benefit there. But if all you do with your existing content is swap phrases, you won't change much with Google. They already know what your page is about. So the only way you could help would be to add more targeted, keyword rich content to what is already there.

On Page Report - To Much Alt. Text Keyword Usage
I ran a Moz on page report for our Roho Cushions page using the keyword Roho Cushions. I found "keyword stuffing" within the page, mainly from alternate text on images. The report told me I have 45 IMG ALT keywords & 28 Body Keywords. I cannot find the keywords I've used in the body, and if I inspect any image element, the keyword is not used as alternate text. I've ran this report multiple times in the past 2 weeks and have come up with the same results. Does anyone have any solutions? Thanks!

Benefits of reducing on page links
This is more of a discussion point. What would be the measurable results of reducing the number of on page links, specifically on a home page, but let's assume by way of a large navigation menu most of the pages have a lot of links" For instance, would any of the stats on the MozBar be affected (let's start with the home page). Would the Page Authority or MozRank change at all, perhaps because there is less "juice" flowing out of the home page? Thanks! 🙂

Links (external and total) have significantly decreased in 1 month from August to October - why?
Greetings, After comparing a few stats in one of my campaigns, I noticed that External Followed Links, Total External Links, and Total Links significantly decreased from August 29th to when I just checked them a few days ago (October 3). Any ideas on why this happened? For example, Total External Links went from 50,589 to 39,203. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Jenny

How can I find my past KW rankings?
I want to know how I can find out how a client's site was ranking for keywords at the beginning of the campaign so I can compare it with current rankings. I haven't been generating reports regularly. I kinda assumed I could ask for the reports retroactively. As in, what was the ranking of my keywords from the first crawl done by SEO moz. Thanks!

Amount of Pages Crawled Dropped Significantly
I am just wondering if something changed with the SEOMoz crawler. I was always getting 10,000 or near 10,000 pages crawled. After the last two crawls I am ending up around 2500 pages. Has anything changed that I would need to look at it see if I am blocking the crawler or something else?
