How bad is a negative MOZ rating
-
I have a wp site that has a negative rank, how bad is this? and is links the only way to convert this to a positive?
If its relevant the site is http://rnblog.co.uk
Results following websitegrader tool.
Website Grade 70
Moz Rank -1
Indexed Pages 255
Traffic Rank 10,932,429
Blog Grade Not Graded
Linking Domains 2
-
The -1 probably means that you don't have any yet. Wait until the next Linkscape update some time in August and see then again. Give it some time.

On my moz bar it is zero, when i tried website grader, (not sure on how reliable it is) it gave me -1 as in the text above.
But still 0 isnt good I believe I'd be happy with a 4. So ive been working on backilinks and im aware it may take a while, but is this the only way to get a good moz ranking. Or is their something in my optimisation, the reason i ask is because opensite explorer doesn't give me much info on it and my campaign highlights the obvious broken links and errors to me.
I also cant see my site on google on any page in natural searches. Again I put this down to the moz ranking as the traffic looked okay and was much higher than others and the indexed page i assume has to be okay being higher.

I didn't even knew there was a negative MozRank. My MozBar doesn't show negative, it shows only positive on root domain and 0, 0, 0 on page. Where did you get -1 from? Printscreen?

Is moving text out of the main body field a bad idea for SEO?
Hi, I manage this WordPress website http://www.the-fireplace-company.co.uk I've been looking for ways to improve the product template and have come up with the following http://www.the-fireplace-company.co.uk/product/the-alhambra-fireplace/ - you can see how this compares to the old template http://www.the-fireplace-company.co.uk/product/the-burlington-fireplace/ Basically I've moved the description copy for the product from the main body to an alternative field and disabled the reviews tab below the product images to give a more compact feel and better use of the space available in my humble opinion! The client approves too. However I was just about the change all the other products to match this one - but suddenly thought is is wise to move all text out of the main body just to improve the look? I wondered what impact this might have on search. Any pointers would be welcomed. One course of action might be to find a new theme that's just a little more accommodating! Or to develop this theme further to ensure the main body copy is displayed where I want it to be? Regards to the Moz community - thanks for reading. Nathan

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. Tanveer

Moz shows page has no meta description but it does
Hi We recently worked on optimising one of our product pages, we created a new meta description, new unique content and a ensured it was optimised for our keyword. Despite all of this its ranking is still significantly lower than competitors eventhough the page authority is as good as theirs. I have just noticed that Moz crawl diagnostics is showing it up as having no meta description - but it does! when you check the source you see:http-equiv="description" content="Buy the robust and reliable Canon imageRUNNER 2525 from Copyfaxes. Learn more about the Canon 2525 before you buy." /> The page is: http://copyfaxes.com/product/2552/Canon-ImageRunner-2525-Digital-Copier I would appreciate any ideas.

EMD vs brand? I'm new to moz
Hi to all so this is my first month using moz tools. When I check my competitors and keywords, everyone close to google #1 is a emd site But with google always getting smarter, is it smart in order to compete to get an emd? So say I rank first page #9, or not at all for my brand, if since my site is a construction site, if instead of say abc construction.com I find colorado home builders.com etc would I maybe do better? Or would google give me a bad ranking? I am just so lost? One last question? If I did build a emd site then just pointed my brand to it, would this be good or stupid for seo? thank you for all advice and tips chris

Acquired Old, Bad Content Site That Ranks Great. Redirect to Content on My Site?
Hello. my company acquired another website. This website is very old, the content within is decent at best, but still manages to rank very well for valuable phrases. Currently, we're leaving the entire site active on its own for its brand, but i'd like to at least redirect some of the content back to our main website. I can't justify spending the time to create improved content on that site and not our main site though. What would be the best practice here? 1. Cross-domain canonical - and build the new content on our main website? 2. 301 Redirect Old Article to New Location containing better article 3. Leave the content where it is - you won't be able to transfer the ranking across domain. Thanks for your input.

A Bazaar 10 Days In WMT & Moz
Hey All, Just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this or has any idea what happen to one of my sites last week. I have a lot of question and unanswered weirdness that seems to be occurring in the data. It kind of plays out like this. Noticeable drop off in organic SE traffic WMT kicks out 70% of my structured schema data Moz drops DA to 14 from 17 Moz MR drops from 3.50 to 2.74 Total Indexed pages (as per SEOQuake tool bar) Drops from 500 to 224 All the images submitted via a sitemap have been unindexed according to WMT. This only a 3 month old web site with a minimal back linking profile, we're talking less than 100. No one has been working on the site, the only thing that has happen in the last month is blog post being posted. All unique content and well formatted. Then at the beginning of this week I saw traffic increasing again, and this was confirmed when WMT updated and I got my Moz update. All schema data back in WMT, with no acknowledgement of the drop; the graph just continues in a steady rise as tho nothing happened. Traffic back up to normal levels, as tho nothing happened. I have noticed a 100% increase in the amount of pages being blocked by robots.txt, I haven't changed it, nor has anyone else, it has been the same since the site was launched. I'm hoping that Moz will put the DA and MR back to where they were, and no damage will be done.\ But my question is, What the hell happened? It nearly wiped the site of the face off the earth for 10 days, how do I find out what did it, why and stop it from happening again? I have noticed the number of pages indexed by google, as quoted by SEOquake tool bar not WMT regularly jumps from anywhere from 200 to 500, Any ideas? I know their are many different elements at play here, where do I start, I can't sit back and hop it never happens again. Thank you to anyone that wants to roll their sleeves up and have ago at this one. Best, IAn

Collaps-O-Matic for product video transcripts - bad for SEO?
I'm using Wordpress plugin Collapse-O-Matic as a collapse/reveal function for my product video transcripts. Is this ok from an SEO standpoint? Will Google and other search engines see it as hidden content? Are there better options?
