RSS title element too long
-
I'm getting an error of the title element being too long on a few pages. Most of them are super easy fixes however there is one that's not.
On our rss feed I think the titles of each blog are getting concatenated together. Here is the example of the xml:
<title>First Blog title</title>
<title>Second Blog title</title>
When I check using a spider simulator (http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/spider/index.php) it tells me that my title is the actual page title tag. Is this a MOZ error and will it show up on google properly?
The second part I've noticed about the rss feed is that it's reporting too many links in it. Does that matter in this case?
Thanks

Glad it helped.

I've got all proper page titles but wasn't overly concerned with the RSS. Just wanted to make everything as good as I possibly can.
Yes, it was helpful. Thanks.

Hey,
You can ignore the too-much links issues. That is completely normal in Today Websites (javascript, tabs, etc.).
About the too long titles, Google indexes only 70 chars, therefore, if you have longer titles, try cutting them with some script, there are a lot of options online for whatever language you are using to code.
Use that cut function on your RSS generator as well, and make sure the most important part of the title in on the front, as it is actually what users will see while searching.
Hope that helps!

Unsolved Homepage keyword Ranking
Can anyone shed some light on how a competitor can have over 500 keywords for the home page, which I can not see when I read through the page itself. I have looked at the page sauce "keywords and is lists less than 10,. So my question is how can Moz say it has over 500 when i cant see them or has the site hidden them. If they are hidden Google has not penalised them for keyword stuffing. Can anyone shed some light on this Thanks in advance

Unsolved WP YoastSEO Plugin
We just updated our sites WP YoastSEO plugin one day prior to the Moz weekly crawl. Not sure if our change interrupted our weekly Moz crawl or if it was an issue with Moz. The Moz weekly crawl, weekly email notifications were not received and all Moz campaign reports were not updated. I would like to run a crawl immediately. How can I do so before waiting for the next MOZ crawl?

Keywords showed volume before but now they say 'no data available'
Keywords showed volume before but now they say 'no data available'. And this is happening with common words like "prints" - I'm dead certain this keyword should not have 'no data available'. What's going on? How do I reset or fix this? I only have 12 days left of my trial and I can't even use the feature I need.

Why Is My Title Element Too Long? (> 70 Characters)
I recently launched a new website and according to the Moz Crawl Diagnostics Summary, I have more than 8,000 pages that have Title Elements that are Too Long (>70 Characters). But, when I look at these Page Titles, most of them seem to be (<70 Characters). Examples (with pages linked to the actual website): Collection page // Brooklyn Nets Shirts - Nets T-Shirt, Tees, Tops | Sportiqe Apparel (Moz reports this page title is 92 characters, over by 22) Product page // EA SPORTS Boxing Shirt - Red | Sportiqe Apparel (Moz reports this page title is 73 characters, over by 3 Blog post // 50 Father's Day Gift Ideas For Dad | Sportiqe Apparel (Moz reports this page title is 79 characters, over by 9) Is there a way to verify that the Moz tool is correct, and I'm overlooking that these page titles are indeed >70 characters? Any insight on how to resolve this problem as well? Appreciate any advice or articles that discuss this issue.
