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.

Does SEOmoz have a Keyword Research tool similar to, say, the Google AdWords tool or the WebCEO Keyword Research Tool? And where might that be? (Sorry, I'm very new to SEOmoz Pro.)
I'm looking for an SEOmoz version of the classic WebCEO Keyword Research that would give you effective suggestions based on a keyword inquiry. I've made the switch from WebCEO, but I'm trying to find something similar to that Keyword Research tool. Am I going to just need to use the Google AdWords tool for this function or does SEOmoz have it's own version?

Rankings Different in Serps from Report
My site shows up on page one for many search queries, but I'm "not in the top 50" for those same terms according to the rankings report. Having troubleshooted the problem, it may be a canonical issue. I did not include www when I originally set up my reports and it seems that my site shows up in search results with www. However; if you type in the url without the www, it will automatically forward to the page with www. I did this intentionally in order not to get penalized for duplicate content pages. So here's my question: If I've got one page redirected to the other, shouldn't the rankings report also follow that redirect? If so, then it should show the correct results, right? Thanks, Dino

SEOmoz crawl error questions
I just got my first seomoz crawl report and was shocked at all the errors it generated. I looked into it and saw 7200 crawl errors. Most of them are duplicate page titles and duplicate page content. I clicked into the report and found that 97% of the errors were going off of one page It has ttp://legendzelda.net/forums/index.php/members/page__sort_key__joined__sort_order__asc__max_results__20 http://legendzelda.net/forums/index.php/members/page__sort_key__joined__sort_order__asc__max_results__20__quickjump__A__name_box__begins__name__A__quickjump__E etc Has 20 pages of slight variations of this link. It is all my members list or a search of my members list so it is not really duplicate content or anything. How can I get these errors to go away and make search my site is not taking a hit? The forum software I use is IPB.

Possible to force the SEOmoz Ranking Report to update?
Hi guys, I have added about 100 keywords to my Rankings Report in SEOmoz and I'm just wondering if there is a way to force the application to get my rankings ASAP rather than waiting a while for the rankings to come through? I'm in a bit of a hurry! 🙂 Thanks. C.

Ranking history lost
Hi there, It seems I have lost all the ranking history on all my keywords. I have only checked two campaigns - kodega.de and weddingrings-direct.com and none of the keyword show any historical movement any more, something I found very useful. Please let me know if this is just a glitch or if something has really stopped working as my account has been up and running for quite some time now. Many thanks, Julian
