On-Page Report Card with https
-
Hi,
Our site has a 301 redirect to https and I'm getting two different grades for my pages depending upon whether I type:
https://www.domain.com (gets an A grade)
or www.domain.com (gets a C grade)
Is there a setting I need to use to make sure my campaign knows our site is at https?
Thank you

Hi there,
I'd have to know the keywords you were using to see for sure. But I just tested a keyword from your campaign and saw similar results. It's most likely because When you run the report without the http you aren't getting the credit for the canonical tag you have.
When you run it for https, you are getting the credit for appropriate use of the rel canonical tag.
That's why you're seeing two different scores.If you want to get more in depth, you're welcome to provide keywords here or email help@seomoz.org
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Joel. -
Hi Prasad,
Thanks for the reply!
It's actually not help with the grade that's the problem. It's the fact that www.ownmyip.com gets a C grade and https://www.ownmyip.com get an A grade. I'm wondering why the same page grades differently depending upon the use of https or http.
Maybe it doesn't matter to our SEO but clarification would be cool.
Thanks again.

Hi,
I have not find any place to set the domain is http or https. But you can have an idea about the reason to happen like this by go through the suggestion given by On-page Optimization tool.
Also better if you can post here, what are the suggestions you got with that C grade. Hope it will helpful for others to give you a good response.
Anyway I always suggest you to use actual url to check the on-page report when using the tool.
Regards
Prasad

Is a particular page not ranking for any reason?
I posted about the Google WEbmaster tools Structured Data set up in this thread here: http://moz.com/community/q/using-google-structured-data-for-seo-benefit Just a follow up question (or separate)... would having a lot of products with marked up data (via webmaster tools and not on page) hurt SEO rankings? I have not got any warning/notice etc in Google Webmaster tools about it. Search term 'buy isagenix' on Google Australia Product listing page not in top 50

Pages exclusion
Hi there! I don't want to "make relevan"t 3 of the pages my website has. Should I give them a title and a description even if I dont't want them to be shown in the SERPs? Is there any penalty from google if I don't do so? I guess no but just to confirm. Thanks!

On-Page Report Card is lacking
To SEOMOZ Developers: All my pages score A's in the On-Page Report Card, yet most are not indexed in the top 50 positions for Google!!! Don't you think there are other factors you're not considering when giving out A's? In other words, a page should not be awarded an A when it's not in top 50 ranking positions. That's seems to be a flaw in the Optimization Reports. There must be something my page is missing, but you are not pointing it out. Shouldn't your "A" requirements be more aligned with Google's ranking algorithms? In other words, most pages awarded A's should be found to be ranked in the top 50. And, most pages not ranked in the top 50 should recieve F's because they don't meet Google's ranking requirements. In other words, you should model your report card more closely to Google's ranking. Here's an example: Keyword: "enterprise time management" Page: www.stdtime.com/enterprise-time-management.htm
