H1 Mystery with Mozpro and Mozbar
-
Moz's crawler has notified me that the H1s for all the blog posts are missing but Mozbar says the page title is designated as the H1 for each post. In Wordpress, the code to the page title is not accessible in "text." I viewed page source and took a look through the code to find the H1 connected to the page title, but couldn't locate it. Usually, Wordpress themes automatically give the page title an H1 tag. Interested to hear any further insights on this topic...

Hi Harjodh
When something is found by site crawler it just means that the page is accessible, it does not mean that it is indexed in Google. There may be many reasons why a page is on the site but not indexed, Including
Duplicate content problem
Noindex tag or directive in robots.txt
Canonical to another page.
Skinny or low quality contentThe code to a page title will be viewable if you right click, 'view source' - the page title will only be viewable in WP if you have Yoast or similar installed and is not in the text view of Wordpress.
So:
1. Check source code and search the page for the title tag - this will be the name of the article.
2. Install Yoast to add an alternate title and description if you need to. (definitely install Yoast!)
3. If the H1 is not visible on the page (and I would be surprised because most themes, as you say, make the post title the H1) then you will need to add it or update the theme so that the theme does it.Screaming Frog is an excellent tool for scanning a site and has no limitations on daily use. It will help you see everything!
I hope this helps,
Regards
Nigel

99/100 in MOZPRO but content not indexed ?
Hi All, I am just new to Moz pro. We have a site that has 99/100 for its page optimisation score in Moz pro but it's still not indexed anywhere in the first 5 pages? Any ideas what I'm missing and how to start resolving?

Multiple meta descriptions found - MozBar
We are getting "Multiple meta descriptions found!" error when testing meta in the Chrome MozBar extension. We are using the Wordpress All in One SEO plugin. Thinking there may be a conflict with default meta description being blank and needing removed to not conflict with meta generated by All in One SEO. Curious if anyone has come across this and any info on eradicating the issue would be greatly appreciated. Most likely a newbie question on my part. Thanks!

MozBar in Chrome hides the top of the web page
I prefer the MozBar at the top of the browser. When using the Firefox browser the MozBar does not hide any of the web page. When using the Chrome browser the MozBar (depending on the site) often hides the top portion of the web page. Is there a way I can use the MozBar at the top of Chrome and get the same functionality as Firefox? Best,

My Mozbar SERP overlay stopped working when I updated to Firefox 20.0!
I tried restarting Firefox, rebooting my computer (Mac), uninstalling and reinstalling the Mozbar, still nothing. I use that data a lot, so I'd love to get it back...

Mozbar Chrome Extension
Hello Mozzers! The Moz extension for Google Chrome is a big help while doing link prospecting, competitor research, etc. The two parts that really help me with that is the MozBar button for quick stats and how SERPs have domain data, etc, etc, under each result. The issue, however, is that the SERP control panel is dead smack in my way... Its one of those things thats been bothering me for months but dealt with. Is there a way to permanently keep it closed? Here is an image for reference - http://i.imgur.com/9ruJHHc.png -> "SERP control panel" is whats bothersome. Thanks, James
