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.

Other tools to check keyword competition/difficulty
I really like the Keyword Analysis tool/process at MOZ, particularly the composite score of keyword difficulty. However, on my budget/account level I can only check 400 kw's per day and sometimes that's not enough. So my question is... What other tools do you rely on or recommend to provide a preliminary measure of competition for a keyword? Not Adwords competition, but the kind of analysis Moz does by looking at specific ranking factors like phrase the page authority, domain authority, kw in title tag, URL, anchor text, number of external links to the page, etc. Are there any other tools you'd recommend for checking those kind of competition/difficulty factors for a keyword? I know SpyFu.com, Open Site Explorer, Majestic, etc will provide backlink metrics, but hoping for something more comprehensive. Thanks!!

AM I the only one getting misleading titles in OSE?
I am trying to locate directories in my competitor's links using OSE. Here is the workflow I am using: Filter all results to external sites only, group by site, linking to any page on the domain. Export results to csv. My competitor is in the web design industry. So I try to filter the titles of the pages linking to the competitor to look for titles containing directory. But when I click on the link for "Windsor Internet Web Design Hosting Ontario Canada Directory" I get a page with the title "Kitchen & Bathroom Showroom | London Ontario | Bathroom Vanity Showroom" Are the results really this misleading?? or am I doing something wrong here? Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there any way to move keywords from one Campaign to another?
We recently moved content off a subdomain onto our main www subdomain. Each of these was previously tracked as its own campaign. Now that the content is consolidated, I'd like to move the keywords that we were tracking on the first campaign over to the second. I don't see an option to migrate, or export/import keywords. Is there any (non-manual) way to do this? Thanks

What value am I getting from SEOmoz?
Okay, I've been using the trial version of SEOmoz for almost a week, but, I'm just not sure what to do with it to be honest. I'm not an SEO expert, so, a lot of the terminology and reports are confusing. So far the only thing I've found useful are the domain and page duplication errors, but, I can get the same info from Google Webmaster Tools. Am I missing something? We have a very simple site for a small business, not sure I can justify $99 per month for a service I don't really understand. Is this service more for SEO professionals than business owners? -Tom

What is the quickest way to get OSE data for many URLs all at once?
I have over 400 URLs in a spreadsheet and I would like to get Open Site Explorer data (domain/page authority/trust etc) for each URL. Would I use the Linkscape API to do this quickly (ie not manually entering every single site into OSE)? Or is there something in OSE or a tool I am overlooking? And whatever the best process is, can you give a brief overview? Thanks!! -Dan

Tracking Keyword Positions
Hello! I've been working with the various Google Docs Spreadsheets out there taking advantage of web scraping using xml and the seomoz api. I want to be able to track keyword rank by week, I've been playing around but can't seem to get it nailed on, I'm looking to put keyword in column 1, domain in col 2 and keyword rank on google uk in col 3. Anybody done/seen anything like this in a G spreadsheet? Cheers Jamie
