2 SEO questions
-
Hello everyone I have two questions for all you fine seo people this morning...
1 - Is there a website that I could go to to make sure that I do not have duplicate content floating around on the web that I am not aware of? Sometimes people take information from my site and post it as their own and I want to make sure that google does not ping me for it.
2 - Does anyone know how I can report a spam site to google? I have filled out the reports many times over the past year and posted it in the webmaster discussion forum and it is still up there I sent one email to bing and the next day they contacted me with a thank you email and indicated that I was 100% correct and they removed the site from their index.
Thank you all!!!!

Thank you both for your help!!!

A great link building method is to find people who stole your content and contact them and let them know they can keep it up if they give you a link
-
You might not need to worry about stolen content if 1) Your content was indexed by Google first and 2) Your content outranks the stolen content in search. Here's a video from Matt Cutts at Google that might be of interest to you: http://youtu.be/4LsB19wTt0Q
- Why not just do a Google search for your content? If it's in the Google index, it will show up in search. You can make it easier by doing a phrase search that will be unique to your piece of content.
If you're looking for something that will check your whole site or do it automatically, I'm not aware of a tool that does that. A lot of people use Copyscape (www.copyscape.com), but that might not solve your problems.
- You can file a complaint with Google here when you're logged into your Google account: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/dmca-notice?pli=1&

What are the best free/low cost tools you use for SEO?
Hello! I will be giving a talk next month about free/low cost SEO tools and apps and I would like to hear what your favorite/most useful tools are. I know this question has been discussed here before, but this is a topic that is constantly evolving and I am interested in knowing what people currently find to be the best. I'd like to hear about things you really use on a regular basis--there are a lot of things out there that sound cool, but end up not being used. So, what are your go-to free SEO tools? Thank-you,

A keyword my site ranks on has recently dropped from no 2 to 51+ after weeks ranking high.
Any ideas? The full SERP analysis still puts it at no 2 so I'm quite confused

Mozbar question
Hi, In the mozbar it has the following for this post: PA: 55 mR: 3.28 mT: 4.43 DA: 88 What does this data mean and how would you use it to spot a weakness in a competitor? Now the domain strength is very high 88, so I know you would have trouble attacking that if your own DA was 48. p.s this is just an example

Competitive Domain Analysis Question
When looking at the Competitive Domain Analysis I noticed that I am the only one amongst my competitors that does not have a link from DMOZ. The problem is, I do have a link from them. When you search for my site on dmoz.org you can find my site and it has been that way for quite a while. Anyone know any possible reasons it may be doing this?

Only 1 page is being crawled by SEOmoz for the last 2 crawls
I would like to ask for the possible problem plus solution on one of our campaigns. Only 1 page is being crawled by SEOmoz for the last 2 crawls. Before the last two crawls, SEOmoz crawls numerous pages and we can’t think of a possible reason for this error. For this particular campaign , there are no data --- no errors, warnings and notices. Thanks!

How do I find questions with new responses?
I'm really enjoying hanging out here so far. I was wondering if there is an easy way to find out which of the discussions that I am taking part in have new responses in them. I know I get an email whenever a question I have subscribed to gets an answer, but is there a way to see this when I am on the website? I see that I can go to "My questions" and "Questions I have asked" or "Questions I have answered" but on that screen it doesn't tell me which one(s) of those questions have new answers. Am I missing something?
