SEOmoz bot and "noindex"
-
As a recent newbie to SEOmoz, I've been implementing some suggestions and doing a general tidy up.
I removed URL's from our robots txt, and rolled out instead the noindex meta tag to pages we don't want indexed.
But surprised to see issues that are now flagged from the last crawl by the moz bot from pages that have this meta tag?
Does the SEOmoz bot not ignore this tag? Just want to make sure I've implemented it correctly, so the google bot does ignore it.
Meta tag syntax is and is placed below the title tag.
cheers

aha! thanks, yep exactly the issue/
Seen the response from Aaron Wheeler
"so perhaps we should also exclude those noindex pages from issue calculation as well. That's in the next couple of months, though."
Think I'll drop them an email to remind them At least it's not an issue then with our site.

Apparently someone flagged something similar up in April:

Why does it take so long for SeoMoz to update data?
I changed the Anchor Text of 4 40/100 MozRank sites 2 months ago, yet SeoMoz still shows the old Anchor text in the reports. Why is this taking so long? I also notice my inbound domains hasn't increased nor has my MozRank in 3-4 weeks. What's the turnaround?

How can I track multiple pages using SEOMoz
Hi there, I setup my domain along with 20 keywords to target. One of the first things I learned is not to focus on too many keywords per page. For this reason I decided to create 5 sub pages and link these pages on my index page. My questions to you: 1. Does SEOMoz track the keyword rankings for the URL entered only?

2. If the answer for 1 is YES, Would I have to setup those 5 extra URL's as new sites along with their 3 to 5 keywords? Thank you,0 -
How do folks present the SEOmoz reports to clients?
Hi, How are people presenting the SEOmoz reports to clients? Do you just export to PDF and email it? Cut and paste items inside some other kind of personalized format? Add adobe style sticky notes to explain things on top of the reports? Or something else that is wonderful and endearing to your clients? Thank you.
