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.

Page Optimization Error
Hello.
Moz Bar | | csgosmurfcart
When I try to use 'On Page Grader' on specific site, I get an error message. "
Page Optimization Error
There was a problem loading this page. Please make sure the page is loading properly and that our user-agent, rogerbot, is not blocked from accessing this page.
"
example : https://www.csgosmurfkart.com Site's robots.txt settings are good. and I think there's no blocking factor. But On Page Grader cannot crawl the sites.
But campaign crawler is working well on the site. only On Page Grader is not working.. What should I change my server's setting or site's setting for crawling site on my site?
I'm using wordpress on google cloud Thank you.0 -
Moz Pro: Redirect Chain warning given to pages that don't have redirects
When I look up crawl errors for a page, I'm always told the page suffers from redirect chaining. However, when I do a redirect check (in this case, using the Redirect Path Chrome extension), it indicates that my page does not use a redirect. Why would Moz detect redirects, while no other redirect checker resource does? For example, this URL gets Moz's redirect chain warning: https://www.aem.org/news/january-2018/5-reasons-iot-projects-fail/ But there is no redirect associated with this URL.

After adding a page to the optimization section, it doesn't put the score, title, or ranking on. It shows up as dashes After adding a new page to the optimization section it shows me my score. I go back to the home page of the optimization section to see it's ranking and all the details are dashes. Like the moz score, the ranking, and the title. It has only been happening recently. What am I doing wrong?

Has using Moz got me banned from Google search?
Dear fellow Mozzers, For the last couple of weeks when ever I do a google search I have to enter a captcha code. Now I hardly use google anymore which is annoying ! Then I went onto support.google.com and saw this: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/86640?hl=en&ref_topic=3378866 "Automated traffic includes: Sending searches from a robot, computer program, automated service, or search scraper Using software that sends searches to Google to see how a website or webpage ranks on Google" Is Moz alone doing this? Thanks in advance for your response. Ash

Have there been recent changes to the On-Page Grader tool?
I use this page all the time to grade my primary and secondary keywords and for four years now have consistently managed to achieve A-C grades for all. Today however, I noticed I am flagging F grades for 50% of the keywords. I do make a note of the initial grades for all pages (as the majority of the keywords I grade using the tool are NOT added/tracked in MOZ 'campaigns'). To make sure I wasn't going mad I went back and graded some keywords I had achieved A-C grades for just 6 days ago. The changes are as follows: keyword 1 initially graded an A - 6 days later is still an A keyword 2 initially graded C and is now graded as an F keyword 3 initially graded C and now an F keyword 4 initially a C grade and now an F keyword 5 initially a B grade and has remained a B. Out of interest I then went and added one of the keywords that is now graded an F (but last week was a C) into the 'Add and manage Page Grades' section and graded once again - it's now grading this as a C. I then removed this keyword from my tracked keywords and graded again using the 'On-Page Grader' tool and ... it's back down to an 'F'. Please could you shed some light on what's going on? I don't want to track each keyword I grade over time but I do want the parameters for grading to remain the same if I use the 'On-Page Grader' tool - what's changed? I haven't received any alerts about any changes to the tool so if anyone could shed some light on any changes I would appreciate it.

Have any insight into why our Moz Rank dropped?
I'm working on a site with a very low domain authority to start and in viewing our historical MozRank comparison to competitors I see that we had a MozRank between 2 and 3 two months ago, but now have a MozRank of 0. What could have triggered this dropoff? It's clear we need to boost domain authority, but we have never had any so we're no worse in that department now than we were two months ago. Any insight here would be useful. Thanks! W2A1u2D.png

How to print segmented keyword lists to PDF?
Hi Moz forum, We're trying to print segmented keyword lists to PDF. Using the 'segmented lists' feature, we have created segmented lists for several different keyword groupings. We are looking to print each list individually as a PDF, but the feature seems to print ALL keywords from the entire campaign. How can we print segmented keyword lists to PDF? Thanks
