I have 702 'No-Index' warnings. Is this bad?
-
Moz has giving me 702 'No-Indexed Meta-descriptions' warnings. My page has quite a bit of product pages as it is a commercial chemical company which sells cleaning products for restaurants, hospitals, etc. Im wondering if this is effecting my site negatively?

Hi Scott,
As I've said before, having a lot of noindexed pages is not an issue.
What you should focus your efforts is in finding any mistakenly noindexed page.And yes, Yoast has a config that makes archive and tag pages noindex.
Hope it helps.
Best luck.

I am seeing the same issue, but mostly with archives and author pages. Same resolution? Check Yoast for index?

Hi there,
Cool that you are using Wordpress and YOAST, this could make the job a lot easier.
I´d recommend you analyzing every page that Moz flag as having noindex, then consider whether you want those pages to be indexed and shown in Google Search Results.So, as long as that pages have the noindex tag and that is correct, then you should not worry about that.
And again, having some pages noindexed _wont affect negatively_your sitewide SEO performance.
Hope it helps.
Best luck.

Hi Gaston,
The bulk of the issues are individual product pages. We are a chemical provider for restaurants, schools, commercial laundry products, etc. Its built primarily as a resource center for our service reps. and customers looking for a chemical provider and product information. (I would say very rarely would a customer search by name a product of ours). We aren't an e-commerce site. Our company is geared more primarily as a service company which offers chemical products and we service the machines, dispensers, inventory, and delivery. Our CRM is WordPress and Yoast is our SEO plugin (basic version).

Hi there,
Having pages with nonidex tag is perfectly normal, the thing is to be sure that you dont want those pages to be indexed.
Try checking up wich pages have that noindex tag and analyze whether its correct.Would you mind giving us more information about the website? how its built, wich CMS are you using? Have you installed any SEO plugin?
In regards to affect negatively, having pages with noindex wont hurt you. UNLESS, any of your importat pages are noindex.
Remember that a noindex tag is a really strong signal to Google and if present, then that page will not be shown in google search results.Hope it helps.
Best luck.

Is it possible to submit a page to the seomoz index?
We recently got added to dmoz and botw and would like to see those links considered in our domain authority as we are tracking our progress and comparing ourselves to other sites. Is it possible to submit links to the seomoz index manually to have those tracked? (If I am even understanding this correctly)

SEOmoz report vs. Google's Algo
Hello, I got an SEOmoz Report for one of our clients and the report is showing these pages and many more others as duplicate page content. Thing is the page content is not duplicate however there is very little data differentiating the contents. My question is does Google see the following pages contents as duplicate? because seomoz does. http://dallastxlofts.com/blog/2012/06/using-a-loft-for-commercial-or-office-space.html/img_9632/ http://dallastxlofts.com/blog/2012/08/newly-renovated-in-victory-park.html/3-2/ http://dallastxlofts.com/blog/2012/08/pedestrian-friendly-uptown-west-village.html/attachment/18/ http://dallastxlofts.com/blog/2012/06/using-a-loft-for-commercial-or-office-space.html/img_4322/ http://dallastxlofts.com/blog/2012/08/historic-deep-ellum-lofts.html/2012-08-18-11-24-30/ http://dallastxlofts.com/blog/2012/08/pedestrian-friendly-uptown-west-village.html/attachment/13/ http://dallastxlofts.com/blog/2012/06/using-a-loft-for-commercial-or-office-space.html/842-4/

I don't get what a dynamic URL is?
I have a whole bunch of them and I have no idea how I created them. I just make titles, that's it. Nothin' fancy.

Does anyone know of a crawler similar to SEOmoz's RogerBot?
As you probably know SEOmoz had some hosting and server issues recently, and this came at a terrible time for me... We are in the middle of battling some duplicate content and crawl errors and need to get a fresh crawl of some sites to test things out before we are hit with the big one? Before I get a million thumbs downs- I love and will continue to use SEOmoz, just need something to get me through this week ( or until Roger is back! )!

Why isn't my Domain Authority much higher than my competitors'?
Looking at the Competitive Link Analysis report shows my domain outperforming my competitors on Domain MozRank, Domain MozTrust, total links, linking root domains, followed linking root domains, and linking c-blocks. But Domain Authority scores are very similar across all four sites with one competitor actually scoring higher than my domain. How should I unpick this result? I'm assuming that there must a problem with my link profile. Is that a valid assumption? Thanks, Tom fc7Ez.png
