Hey,
I'm new to seoMoz and this is my first question (so far it's been great!).
Short summery, I got a website in a specific nitch in google IL, my website is 2 years old.
All my opensiteexplorer params are far higher than my competitor.On the exact keyword I'm ranked #3, wikipedia ranked #2, he's ranked #1. Cant figure out why is that.
I've tried copying his links profile, linking from same site he does. Had partial success but my links profile is far larger in terms of quality and content.
My page is graded "A" by seomoz tools.
Attached my OpenSiteExplorer screenshot.
I'm wondering what are your thoughts on that.
Regards,
Oleg. -
Oops, you're right about the 200, fixed to a proper 404.
Another related issue might be there you might have an advice for, what would you do with the 30 tags in the footer? nofollow, robots, removing the whole block or keeping it as it is - do follow links?
Regards,

thats hard to say, it will be affecting your ranking , but how far is your compeditor ahead of you .
blocking by robots is not going to help. in your code it will be worse, as your links will be leaking into the unknown. A un-necessary redirect can lose you about 15% of uyou link juice, but linking to a page not in the index will lose you 100%.
blocking in robots is a last resoirt for serious problems.
My advice is to take the block out and try to address the redirects and broken links.
it is hard for me to know whats going on as i cannot read hebrew. One other thing, your 404 pages returns a 200, this is what they call a soft 404, you need to fix that also.

My website is solar.org.il.
Do you think the reason for my lower ranking is Link Juice Leaks?
I've tried to blocking it by robots.txt.
-
One more think, http://solar-israel.co.il/ has canonical domain issues, it ios also reachable using http://www.solar-israel.co.il/
http://perthseocompany.com.au/seo/reports/violation/the-page-contains-multiple-canonical-formats
-
http://www.solar.org.il has over 1,000 Link Juice Leaks.
here is a typical sample
The link to "http://www.solar.org.il/services/%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD-%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD-%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD%EF%BF%BD.html" has resulted in HTTP redirection to "http://www.solar.org.il/404.html".
something wrong there.
The is also a few canonical isses, pages blocked by robots, if you really have to block them, use a meta noindex,follow tag, so thsat the link juice will still flow.
50+ broken links, each one leaking link juice, example
The Web page contains the broken link 'http://www.solar.org.il/articles/search/.html'.This site has 1,0000+ brokrn links, leaking link juice
The Web page contains the broken link 'http://www.solar-israel.co.il/investing-in-green-energy'heaps of html errors, an example
The page at "http://www.solar-israel.co.il/" contains invalid markup.
The Tag 'p' was not closed correctly, the Tag 'div' was closed instead.Both sites have many other issues in smaller numbers.
I dont know what suite os yours, but who very fixes all their leaks should out do the other.

Why SEOmoz bot consider these as duplicate pages?
Hello here, SEOmoz bot has recently marked the following two pages as duplicate: http://www.virtualsheetmusic.com/score/PatrickCollectionFlPf.html?tab=mp3 http://www.virtualsheetmusic.com/score/PatrickCollectionFlPf.html?tab=pdf I don't personally see how these pages can be considered duplicate since their content is quite different. Thoughts??!!

What value am I getting from SEOmoz?
Okay, I've been using the trial version of SEOmoz for almost a week, but, I'm just not sure what to do with it to be honest. I'm not an SEO expert, so, a lot of the terminology and reports are confusing. So far the only thing I've found useful are the domain and page duplication errors, but, I can get the same info from Google Webmaster Tools. Am I missing something? We have a very simple site for a small business, not sure I can justify $99 per month for a service I don't really understand. Is this service more for SEO professionals than business owners? -Tom

Rank tracker accuracy
Hi there, When using Rank Tracker tool from Research Tools of SEOmoz and Google Ad preview and Diagnosis tool I get 2 very different results for the ranking of the same keyword. On the Rank Tracker my website is ranked at position 28 on Google US. As I have a Google adwords account, I use their Ad Preview and Diagnosis in selecting Google.com and United States as location for the same keyword. My website comes at position 6 in the list of organic results. Which one is accurate ? Thank you in advance.

Plurals and the SEOmoz On Page Report Card
I have some pages on my website that receive an "A" grade with the SEOmoz On Page Report Card if I use a plural term in a phrase (say, "landscape designers in Dallas") but an "F" grade if I use the singular term (say, "landscape designer in Dallas"). Is this a true and accurate reflection of how search engines see the page? Am I going to rank well for plural terms but not for singular, given the specific on-page content I'm using in this example? Or is this an opportunity for SEOmoz to tweak its' algorithm to better reflect the search engines?

What's Your SEOmoz Favorite?
Obviously, SEOmoz is full of awesomeness. But I'm curious as to what sections, tools, etc. of SEOmoz are the users' favorites? For me, it's a close race between the blog, Linkscape/Open Site Explorer, and the search overlay tool on the Mozbar. What are your favorites?

Why is a low ranking site outperforming a higher one?
Hi, I've got a question here that is more about learning than about rectifying this specific situation, as it is a low traffic (low dollar) situation. I would appreciate your help. Thanks, Ken The targeted long-tail is: carrollton ga internet marketing The targeted site is: http://www.kennethlewis.com/ Yet, when I run the keyword search I get this other site of mine, which is older, but has much worse metrics. http://www.breemawellness.com/ On this site, all I did was put a in-text link on it and added the keywords to my title tags. Open Site Explorer shows these metrics: KennethLewis.com 34, 23, 18, 98 vs. BreemaWellness 27, 15, 7, 10. Both are on the same server. Note: -Until two months ago the KennethLewis.com was only partially about Internet Marketing- mildly so, actually- and it was a 2-3 page iWeb not-optimized site. But BreemaWellness has never been about Internet Marketing, and those words were just added two months ago for the first time. -KennethLewis.com gets regular content changes, to the blog. BreemaWellness.com almost never gets touched. Thoughts?
