Why is comunicatedepresa.net ranking better than comunicatedepresa.ro for the term "comunicate de presa"
Absolutely ALL the factors (links, domains linking, authority, onpage etc) seem to say that comunicatedepresa.ro should have ranked better.
-
no, it's very important, i just thought that you had a tool to mesure link juice to a page (other than pr or authority).
Thanks for the answer

My statement was "the .ro site has 306 links on the result page vs 130 links on the .net site. At this quick glance, it appears the .net site does a much better job of managing it's internal link juice".
The site is in Romanian and I can't read the language. I brought up the topic as it is an area which I would suggest investigating. If you feel the matter is not important, feel free to disregard that advice.
-
I understand what you are saying but, why did you assume that the ammount of link juice that goes on the .net homepage is greater than the amount of linkjuice on .ro homepage? (did you have a tool for that or is it just an assumption?).
i know that page rank is just a raw indicator but the .ro page has pr 7 and the .net page has pr 3
thanx for the reply btw.

I brought up the number of internal links on a page to share an example of an area I noticed where the .net site was better optimized from a SEO perspective.
I agree with you the .ro site has higher DA.
If we have more links than them to the page how cand we have less internal link juice?
You control the flow of link juice throughout your site. Ideally you want to direct the flow of link juice to your more important pages. This direction happens by choosing which pages to link to and where the links appear. I was only on your site for about 2 minutes, but in that time it seemed as if you were trying to link to too many pages rather then selectively linking to the more important pages. If you perform some analytics on your site, it is highly likely you will mind a majority of those 300+ links are simply not used. I would recommend you remove any unused links to better manage your internal link value.

If we have more links than them to the page how cand we have less internal link juice? (by linking to other pages the the wan in cause and splitting the page rank?...this does not explain the diference since the domain authoriy of the .ro page is higher)

A brief analysis of the two sites results in Google.ro for the term "comunicate de presa" shows:
-
both sites benefit equally from an exact match domain
-
both sites titles are identically formatted with the search term first followed by four additional terms
-
the .ro result has superior pa/da of 59/52 vs the .net site 38/35 showing in favor of the .ro site
-
the .ro site has 306 links on the result page vs 130 links on the .net site. At this quick glance, it appears the .net site does a much better job of managing it's internal link juice
-
the .ro site used header and alt tags appropriately to provide support of the key phrase, whereas the .net site did not
I can't read Romanian so I was unable to check for cannibalization or other issues.
Based on the visible factors, I agree the .ro site appears stronger. There are many factors which Google has visibility to which we do not. A few examples are:
1. What are the site's metrics such as bounce rate?
2. The quality of the links. PA/DA are based on "pure" analysis of the linking page's value and number of links on a page. Google makes adjustments for where links appear (i.e. footer vs in content), various penalties which may affect linking sites, etc. Google may also offer more weight to links from specific sources.
3. Other signals. There are tons of ways Google can read signals to help determine a site's legitimacy. Business records related to the site (trademarks, licenses, etc), physical address listings, Google Places listing, etc. Google may be valuing unknown sources of information and adjusting ranking accordingly.
I know this situation is frustrating and I have seen it before. My first suggestion would be to adjust what you can control, your internal linking. Next, examine your competitor's back links to see what links they have earned and you do not have.

Recovering rankings after a botched url change
Hi there, I have for a long time had a bicycle maintenance website at madegood.org. Over the years the film branch of this business has taken off and moved in a slightly different direction, so I thought in March I decided to move madegood.org to madegoobikes.com, and create a new website for my film business at madegood.com. I thought I did a good job of telling google about my change of domain, but my rankings completely died, so about a month I moved madegoodbikes.com back to madegood.org. So far I haven't seen any sign of a recovery in my rankings, I'm getting almost no visits. I've check all my top pages on OSE and everything seems to be in place. https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/pages?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.madegood.org%2F&no_redirects=0&sort=page_authority&filter=all&page=1 Is it normal to wait over a month for my rankings to recover, or is there anything else I should be doing? Any tips/ideas/advice whatsoever will of huge help!

Does anyone know why some keyword rankings go from nowhere in the top 50 to ranking 1st to then nowhere in the top 50 in the space of 3 weeks?
SEOMOZ told me to ask the question here because they say their ranking programme now works correctly and the problems I was having before with keywords changing so dramatically, even though nothing had been changed with regards to optmisation, is now to do with google rather than their ranking tool do google really change their algorithms on a weekly basis so that rankings can go up by more than 50 to ranking 1st to then going down by more than 50? Any hints or tips from anyone on I can keep the rankings more consistent (maybe dropping or increasing by one or two places week by week rather than changing by over 50 positions?)

How long will it take for Page Rank (or Page Authority) to flow via a 301 redirect?
I've recently redeveloped a static site using WordPress and have created 301 redirects for the original urls to the new urls. I know I won't get all the value passed via the 301, but I'm hoping some will. Any idea how long this may take? It's been nearly a month since the changeover so wondering if it would be weeks, months or more?

On Page Ranking Tool Giving Weird Reports
My on page ranking tool is giving two entirely different reports for my website - I get one report for my domain name and a different report for the index.html even though essentially both of those pages are...well...the same. Not sure what's going on, hoping it's not an indication of a more serious issue? I appreciate any help!

Is Rank Tracker still down?
I have been trying to use Rank Tracker but it still appears to be down. The following message is displayed which dates from 5th September and suggests it would take around a week to get it working. "Due to a server failure, we are experiencing a delay in Rank Tracker results this week. Unfortunately, it may take up to a week to get it working properly again. Thanks for your patience and understanding; our engineers are working around the clock to get this issue fixed. - Updated September 5th." It is now 17th September and I am still unable to use it. Just wondering whether this is the same situation for all or whether SEOMoz have an update on when we can expect this to be up and running. Thanks.

Sudden decrease in Moz Page rank
Hello, We have a serious issue with 404s and recently saw our Moz Page rank fall from 53 to 47. 1. OSE Inbound links no longer shows any of our Linked In posts, did Linked In stop passing juice? 2. Does SEO Moz reduce your ranking when there's a sudden increase in 404s? 2a. WP Yoast SEO - I accidentally checked the box on this plugin to "Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL" which basically caused all of our blog post categories and Datafeedr categories to disappear. Didn't realize till too much time had passed that I accidentally clicked that box. Datafeedr is a plugin for our estore that parses the data feeds from affiliate vendors and allows you to create a saved search that auto updates old products every 3 days. I had a no index/follow parameter on the category items, but seeing the # of 404s continue to increase, I temporarily removed this parm last week to see if it reduces this now static number of 404s. Google Webmaster tools started showing a ton of soft 404s that kept increasing, while SEO Moz didn't show any of those 404s. I didn't pay much attention to GWT since Google kept saying it won't affect our rankings, and nothing was showing up on SEO Moz. Last week a fraction of those 404s showed up and I am not sure if that's what lowered our Moz rank or what looks like a possible delinking from Linked In and a higher ranking complimentary website directly related to our field itsallaboutyoga. Looking at the Moz graph of "Total Linking Root Domains Over Time" all of our competitors took a similar % hit since between June and the end of July, so I am thinking its more wide based than fat fingered mistake. I fixed # 2, (have to still figure out what to do with most of those 404s, thinking of submitting a request to Google vs 1,000s of 301s) so in doing my review of this sequence of events and using it as a learning experience, where would I assign max destructive value as a percentage? A. Ignoring GWT soft 404s in favor of SEO Moz campaign reports B. No follow from Linked In and related industry site C. Datafeedr, thousands of indexed products through Datafeedr that are no longer available mostly due to WP Yoast SEO fat finger error. I did have the D. WP Yoast SEO, "Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL" E. Global Google algo change Cheers, Michael

My 2 Target Keywords Rank In Top 10 But Don't Show Up...?
Hi, My 2 target keywords definitely rank in the top 10 in the USA version of Google but they dont show up in SEOMOZ rank checker...I started using SEOMOZ abour a week or so ago and in 2 consecutaive ranking checks they haven't shown up... Market Samurai says they're 4 and 8 respectively, I can see them in the top 10 of Google and various USA proxies show they're in the top 10... Is there a glitch with SEOMOZ or am I doing something wrong? Thanks, James
