Still Getting Keyword Self-Cannibalization
-
I used the onsite optimization and made some changes to my post, but am still getting the Self-Cannibalization mention in my results.
It lists this:
"Real Estate Careers | Keller Williams | Career In Real Estate" as the link that is not supposed to be there.
This is not a link, but the title of the post. What am I missing?
-
yes, i'm using 'real estate careers' as the keyword. when i run the report, i get an 'a' with the only error being the cannibalization.
i've been tweaking other pages on my site and am seeing the same thing on most of them....
-
The On-Page optimization report requires two input factors: the URL and the keyword.
You offered the URL so we are half-way there
What is the keyword you are trying to optimize the page for?
I tried using "Real Estate Careers" as the keyword. Your page scored a "B" and was successful on 34 of the 36 metrics tracked by the report. There was no error related to duplicate data or cannibalization.

hey ryan,
i'm running my pages through the on-page optimizer and am getting a notice that I'm Self-Cannibalizing my page by linking to "Real Estate Careers | Keller Williams | Career In Real Estate".
This is not a link, but the title of my post...why is it saying this?
plugin http://www.youdrivethesuccess.com/ into the on-page optimization tool and you will see what I'm talking about...let me know what you think. thanks.

Hi Brent.
We need further information. Your question leaves us open to making too many guesses.
-
When you say "I am still getting self cannibalization in my results", what results exactly are you referring to? The SEOmoz crawl report?
-
Where exactly does it list "Real Estate Careers | Keller Williams | Career In Real Estate"? The "Title Tag" field?
-
Which field says there is a duplication? The Duplicate Page Content field?
The report name, the type of duplication (field name), and the URLs involved are what is necessary to offer a specific reply.
Generally speaking, there are a few possible causes of content duplication. The most common is a need for canonicalization. Often there are multiple URLs which lead to the same exact page. Canonicalization is one way you can declare the primary URL for a given page.

How do i target keywords locally
I am working for a cosmetic surgeon with clinics in three geographic places. I would like to give him specific keywords that he can go after successfully. When I use the keyword tool with terms like botox cosmetic staten island or breast augmentation tarrytown, I get competitive rankings like 36% or 37%, but it doesnt tell me if there are only a few searchers doing this per month. In Google's Adwords tool, it thinks that the number fo searchers with these same terms is too small to measure, literally giving me back a dash (= insignificant traffic). However, it I use Google Adwords with more general terms, say breast augmentation surgeon, and get a medium/110 global monthly searches, when I come back to SEOmoz tool and assess the same keyword, I find that the traffic picks up doctor sites in Arizona and elsewhere, where clearly no one who wants cosmetic surgery in new York is going to fly to Arizona for it. So, how do I ensure a balance between targeting too little traffic but including the names of specific towns, and targetting more general terms but not having local prospects. Has anyone tackled this in a specific medical niche?

Why am I getting an access error when creating my first campaign?
The exact error message is: The change you wanted was rejected. Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to. I checked the Word Count and I am definitely <300 keywords. I have also made sure that the Branded Keywords are entered 1 per entry form. My cookies are clear and there should be no issue with my browser.

Meta keywords no longer in use
Can someone point me to the official article explaining why meta keywords are no longer taken into account by search engines please? I know Moz has indicated that search engines ignore them, but I would like to read a bit more about it - what was the reason behind it and since when.

How often does the competitive link checker get updated?
I just found a link in the competitive link checker that links to a couple of my competitors. The checker says that i do not have a link on that page, but there is one.. i recently (last week) obtained that link. So that raises the question: how many times is the competitive link checker updated? kind regards
