Moz keyword mention on-page counting errors
-
Hi.
Moz is showing 18 mentions of the keyword 'street furniture' on this landing page https://www.broxap.com/street-furniture.html
But I can only count 6 in total in the body copy and 13 if you include navigation links. This is the same on other pages too for that keyword. Does anyone know where it's counting these extra keywords from? I don't want to fall foul of keyword stuffing but as far as I can see we're not! Could Moz be miscalculating?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Joe

Ok thanks, makes sense. Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

For optimisation purposes I would only look at the body as you can't really help repetitions in navigation, breadcrumbs etc on an ecommerce website, but Moz is probably counting all occurrences within the page source code but outside of tags (so not page titles or meta tags or alt attributes but all occurrences within the menu whether visible or not - they are visible in the source code).

Ah, got ya, thanks
I was under the impression the count was based on body copy only and didn't include navigation links. But I guess that's not the case then!

Hi, I can see a few more. 6 in the text main body + 2 in the menu in the main body + 2 in the sidebar menu + 1 breadcrumb + 1 in the top level navigation + 6 in the opened top level navigation. That's 18.

Why do my Moz duplicate content results show me pages with no noticeably similar content?
Sometimes the "Pages with Duplicate Content" results under Content Issues show pages that, from what I'm able to see or otherwise test, have no duplicate content, save for the same navigation that exists on all of my pages. For example, a recent issue said that the following pages had duplicate content:

Keyword explorer not working
Hi there, The keyword explorer tool has been malfunctioning for the last week. Moz barely seem to have any data (Search Volume) for any keywords I search for, particularly for suggested keywords. It's rather frustrating as I can't explore any keyword opportunities using the Moz keyword tool... I'm based in the UK BTW. Thanks I've attached a screenshot as an example. ZX3Kw3H.jpg

On the on page optimization page, I found out that there are 2 contributing factors which are opposite to each other. "No More Than One H1 Tag" and "Appropriate Keyword Usage in H1 Tag"
"No More Than One H1 Tag" and "Appropriate Keyword Usage in H1 Tag" If you fulfill one condition, the other one is not completed. If you consider Article heading as H1 then Moz do not detect keyword in the heading.

Keyword Difficulty search volumes - frequency?
Hi, first post on the Moz Q&A forum. The Keyword Difficulty tool reports "Bing Search Volume (Exact Match)" for Local and Global, but nowhere can I see what frequency these numbers are for. Does this mean daily, weekly or monthly? I cannot find that anywhere in the moz pro documentation Thanks in advance for your help with this. Peter
