On page report card 410 error
-
I have been trying to test my site through the on page report card using our primary keyword phrase, however, I keep getting the following error message:
We were unable to grade that page. The page did not load. Got a 410 response code from server
If I try the same search and keyword phrase on other sites, it does work. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Nick,
Sure, URL: http://www.duesoon.com.au/store/pregnancy-pilates/ and keyword phrase 'Pregnancy exercise dvd'. I have tried this tool using various URL's from my site as well as keywords and receive the same error message. I am very new at SEO stuff and we are currently employing our web developer to work on some major keywords for us. I am trying to broaden my SEO knowledge so that I can upload new products and content in a google friendly way, and so that I can identify and target other keywords in the future. Our domain is hosted on our webdevelopers server, so I wonder if the comment Valery made regarding the server blocking the MozBot could be the issue. I have contacted our developer to check.
I very much appreciate everyones help and suggestions as well as the excellent tools and information provided by SEOMoz!

Hey there!
Do you mind sharing the URL and kw? I would love to take a deeper look at the issue.

Hi Naomi,
Since the problem is happening when you are using the On-page Tool, I would suggest you send an email direct to the SEOmoz Help Team providing the URL, keyword phrase and campaign number (if there is one). Any time that you are seeing results from the tools which seem strange, it is a good idea to ask the Help Team
The address to send your request to is help [at] seomoz.org
Hope that helps,
Sha

410 is a weird error to be having; it means 'this page is gone'. Not 'missing' (404) but just 'gone', as in the server knew it had that page at one point and now no longer does. There's only two things I can think of off-hand that might cause it:
1. MozBot is messing up somehow, and returning this weird error message when it should be reporting a 'real' error (e.g. 'blocked by robots.txt', 404, 401, etc.) Double check your robots.txt entries, if any.
2. Your server is somehow configured to give the 410 message to the MozBot. I assume you're not getting this message when you visit this page in a normal browser. On UNIX platforms you might want to check the .htaccess file and see if there are any directives that end in [G], or have custom error handlers like in this article:

301 vs 410
Hello everyone! I'm going through a large list of old 404 links that search console has given me and a lot of these links need to be 301'd. My question is, should I 410 some of these links if I can't find a good place to 301 to? Or is there another thing I should do that is better practice. Thanks!

Page Layout Updates and Mobile Pages with Ads
I have been trying to do some research on the Page Layout Algorithm and Top Heavy Ads and much of what I read does not mention about mobile pages as apposed to desktop. I am curious if the Page Layout updates can be effected by mobile pages as well and if there is any good articles on this subject. Also is this Algorithm been incorporated into its regular algorithm or do we still have to wait for refreshes to see the impact? Cesar

How is this page ranking?
Hi. A client of mine is being outranked by a competitor whose landing page does not include the keyword within their page content AT ALL. Nor does their URL. Nor do any image alts. And their page title features the keyword in the middle of it, not at the start. Their link profile is not great with directories and the like. They are not socially active.. I am confused! I thought content on a page absolutely had to include the keyword to get ranked for it. Here's the page: www.springsoft.ie, keyword is "water softeners" Any thoughts I would appreciate. Many thanks.Christoffa

Too many links on home page
SEOmoz crawl states I have 3 pages with too many links. My sites are hosted on Yahoo small business. One page they state is too long is the home page/ind. with 600 links to each page on the web site ( I think). Is this really a problem and how do I fix it? The other two pages are product categories that link to the products under the main product type. What I do not understand is that we have many larger product categories that SEOmoz crawl is not stating too many.

Landing Pages
Howdy Guys, We currently have around 19 landing pages that are near enough identical for each make of car. The content on each page isn't identical but you can tell its a template. Do you think we should change this and just target models instead of makes. Thanks, Scott

Do product pages need unique content or does having duplcate content hurt on those pages?
We are adding product rapidly to our website but this requires allowing duplicate to exist on our product pages of furniture-online.com. From an SEO standpoint do we need to make this content unique for each product. Since we aren't link building to specific product pages and we don't anticipate product pages being found in a search result, are we ok leaving the duplicate content in place and spending our dollars elsewhere?

Too many on page links
Our home page (and 1400 of our other pages) have well over 100 links, going beyond the recommend amount. Our competitors have less on page links (to other pages on their site) and way more link popularity so we are trying to figure out the best solution for this without hurting our sites conversions and usbaility.

SEO Value of Within-Page Links vs. Separate Pages
Title says it all. Assuming that you're talking about similar content (let's say, widgets), which is better: using within-page links for variations or using separate pages? I.e., do we have a widget page and then do in-page links to describe green, blue, and red widgets, or separate pages for each type of widget? In-page pro: more content on a single page, thus more keywords, key phrases, and general appearance of real content. In-page con: Jakob Neilsen says they're confusing. Also, for SEO, you only get one page title, rather than a separate page title for each. My personal bias is for in-page, since I hate creating dozens of short pages for what could be on one page, but my suspicion is that separate pages are better for SEO.
