From what I've encountered Johnathan, one of the easiest successful websites I have made in which it was completely thriving and I was succeeding in obtaining about 2-4 thousand unique visitors a day. I maintained this with reddit and a massive sized tumblr, Google had 0 involvement with me for a couple months.
After my Twitter profile was ranking in the top 5 of my target keyword twice, that second time for almost a week juiced up on celebrity engagement, they finally did something on my behlaf. It wasn't anything like hand extended, or a cold beer in hand. more like, they stopped blocking the doorway, how kind.
What I'm getting at is for some reason none of my lacking schema seemed to matter whatsoever or popunder script, the popup on the videos, the lack of adding nofollow tags to my questionable affiliates, and minus using yoast and making everything have 2 green dots, my site was highly questionable on several on site issues. But at the end of the day it seems if you make Google money, that's what matters apparently.

More likely than not, schematic markups aren't a high priority for Moz at this point. With a thousand and one other items to address and work on, prioritization and allocation of resources kicks in and schematic markups might not be as important for Moz. I also think that Google does a pretty good job of marking up Moz's content without active intervention on the part of Moz's staff, so they've de-prioritized that.

Page grader says we are keyword stuffing but we arn't. Page source shows different story.
Hi community! We have just run a page grader for the keyword 'LED Bulbs' on whichledlight.com and it comes up that we are keyword stuffing! However, a brief look at the source for the homepage and there's only 6 times that LED Bulbs pops up. We do have the non plural version of the word 'LED Bulb' on the page 27 times.. do we think that would contribute to the keyword stuffing? Thanks!!

What's the best Magento Community blog extension?
We are looking at FishPig's Word Press Integrations extension. has anybody used it? Possibly a dumb question, but is SEO adversely affected by the fact it's a WordPress extension on a Magento site?

Why Can't I Get Indexed?
I cannot seem to get my website indexed by Google! I submitted the sitemap using Google WMT about a month ago but only one page is being indexed. There are very few backlinks to the site, so I don't believe there are any penalties due to over-optimization that would prevent indexing. Also, my robots.txt file is properly configured and is not preventing any pages from being crawled. I've tried using the "Fetch as Google" settings in WMT with no luck. Any ideas?

What's the point of my blog?
My website, www.toplinecomms.com has a reasonably good blog that gets quite good interaction and sharing. I introduced the blog at the start of 2013 because the general sentiment from all the SEO books and articles I had read was that a good blog could be invaluable to a search marketing campaign. The posts on the blog are keyword optimised and they get great shares and social engagement. However, I have noticed that the blog is stealing my services' pages' thunder! There are some keywords that I am keen for our services pages to rank for, but the blog is beating them to it! So my question is: How should I be using my blog to get my services pages to rank higher?

What's the impact of # in the main domain page?
After a little research I did in the Source Code of the root domain page of seomoz.org and searchenginejournal.com , I found that the first one contains no at all and that the other contains like 10 . I though that the was something relatively important on a web page for on page optimisation. Did I missed something? What's you opinion on the subject? Thanks for your help!

Site URL's
We are redeveloping our website, and have the option to amend URLs (with 301 redirects from old URL to new), so my question is: Would 'golfsite.com/golf-clubs' achieve superior rankings than 'golfsite.com/clubs' for the search term 'golf clubs' if all other factors were the same? Should the URL reflect the intended search term wherever possible?
