Pro Report Card Question
-
I am getting this warning in the Pro Report Card, my site is http://www.myfairytalebooks.com which seems to have Children's and not Childrens in the title.
Is it my site that needs to html encode in the title or is Report Card slightly broken?
Exact Keyword Usage in Page Title
Easy fix
<dl>
<dt>Page title</dt>
<dd>"Personalized Childrens Books Kids Music CDs Baby Books & Gifts."</dd>
<dt>Explanation</dt>
<dd>Search engines consider the title element to be the most important place to identify keywords and associate the page with a topic and/or set of terms. SEOmoz's correlation research has also shown that rankings are heavily influenced by keyword usage in the title tag.</dd>
<dt>Recommendation</dt>
<dd>Employ the keyword in the page title, preferrably as the first words in the element.</dd>

You can test it by searching for the keyword "Personalized childrens books". If you get the same message, then maybe you need to look further.
I think that you're most likely right and that it IS the apostrophe, but you can probably safely ignore it.

i would ignore it, Apostrophes offten cause problems in programmiing, i am sure thbat google knows its the same

Ryan,
Maybe, but this report is for a 3 word keyword "Personalized Children's Books" it seems to be saying that my title reads "Personalized Childrens Books" missing the apostraphe
Make sense?

That part of the report is very picky, if your keyword is not the first word in the title it gets upset. For example, I was getting a report on my optimization for "Adoption", and my title begins with "Open Adoption Services". The report said I should fix it.

White Label Version of Moz Pro?
I may have missed it, but is there a white label option for Moz Pro? I have a few clients that would like to login and have a look at competition, rankings, etc. Perhaps something like WebCEO or MySEOtool?

Claim Universal Placement Media in Rankings Report
There are several videos of ours on 3rd party sites (YouTube, Vimeo) that are in universal placements but show as not ours. Since they are not on our domain is there a way we can claim them in the rankings report to make the report more accurate?

How can i export a historical ranking report which contains keywords with special characters.
How can i export a historical ranking report which contains keywords with special characters? Previously it only turned the keywords into jumbled format (forgot the tech term) in excel i.e. онлайн чат which are in this case russian characters. The way i got around this was to import it into google docs but that also is now converting it into this format. Due to this i 1 do not know what the keywords are and 2 all my formulas do not work.

Why does Crawl Diagnostics report this as duplicate content?
Hi guys, we've been addressing a duplicate content problem on our site over the past few weeks. Lately, we've implemented rel canonical tags in various parts of our ecommerce store, over time, and observing the effects by both tracking changes in SEOMoz and Websmater tools. Although our duplicate content errors are definitely decreasing, I can't help but wonder why some URLs are still being flagged with duplicate content by our SEOmoz crawler. Here's an example, taken directly from our Crawl Diagnostics Report: URL with 4 Duplicate Content errors:
Moz Pro | | yacpro13
/safety-lights.html Duplicate content URLs:
/safety-lights.html ?cat=78&price=-100
/safety-lights.html?cat=78&dir=desc&order=position /safety-lights.html?cat=78 /safety-lights.html?manufacturer=514 What I don't understand, is all of the URLS with URL parameters have a rel canonical tag pointing to the 'real' URL
/safety-lights.html So why is SEOMoz crawler still flagging this as duplicate content?0 -
Competitive Domain Analysis Question
When looking at the Competitive Domain Analysis I noticed that I am the only one amongst my competitors that does not have a link from DMOZ. The problem is, I do have a link from them. When you search for my site on dmoz.org you can find my site and it has been that way for quite a while. Anyone know any possible reasons it may be doing this?
