Microsoft SEO Toolkit vs MoZ
-
Hi MoZ Community,
Does anybody know how well is Microsoft SEO Toolkit. As far i have noticed this tool reports around 20 violations under three broad areas like : SEO, Content and Performance.
On many violations I have found MoZ to be silent like :
1-unnecessary redirects
2-Invalid mark ups
3-Missing Tag
4-like vilations and others
Important is that it tells solutions as well against each violation on how to fix that. Any body can give insights while comparing it with MoZ.

At Virante, we really like the IIS toolkit, but it has some drawbacks. The biggest drawback is that it doesn't take into account canonical tags when looking at things like duplicate content. It also makes assumptions that are simply overkill (like lumping nearly every redirect into being an unnecessary redirect). In the end, we actually use both.
Moz gives your regular crawl data over time, which is valuable to discern what might be the cause of an issue because you can correlate it with changes you made on the site between crawls. The timeseries data is all there in front of you.
IIS can give you some other data and, more importantly, give you the raw crawl data like the export of all internal links.

Building a new page: What on-page SEO would you build in?
Hi all, Building a new page for a fairly competitive keyword. Need to make sure the on-page SEO is pretty top notch, because link building (including internal links) will be difficult. I've optimised the meta description, the alt tags and image names, and included the keyword in the Title Tags. Not a great deal I can do with regards to optimising for mobile or considering migrating to the AMP project because this is handled externally. What else would you suggest? Cheers in advance, Rhys

Q& A section - SEO perspective
We have a software in our website where customers can ask questions and it will send questions to people who already bought it to get answers. The answers are there in each item page. So each item page has item description , reviews, and Q&A sections. We get lot of questions and answers and software is great but we don't know if it really is helping us for the huge price we are paying them. In an SEO perspective will it help due to content or will it dilute main keywords due to the Q&A content? Thanks RB

Ok to ignore Overly-Dynamic URL from Moz crawl?
I am developing an ecommerce site, just ran it through the Moz crawl to see what's what and it has come back with a lot of issues. Most of these issues are around duplicate page titles (it is not happy with paginated titles, ie Shoes, Shoes Page 2, Shoes Page 3 etc) and it has also found a lot of Overly-Dynamic URL's. Again, these seem to be from some of the search functions and filters used Accessories&pto_sort=priceAsc&pto_page=6 other than spending a lot of time and effort trying to rewrite these urls there is little I can do about them. Should I just ignore this? I wouldn't imagine it having a massive impact on the rankings of the pages. Thanks, Carl

Modal Windows SEO
The new company site is almost finished, and I've just learned that instead of the home page linking to a few internal pages (it's a tiny site), they are just using modal windows instead of deeper pages. Is that bad for SEO and what can I do to optimize with this setup?
