How bad is a negative MOZ rating
-
I have a wp site that has a negative rank, how bad is this? and is links the only way to convert this to a positive?
If its relevant the site is http://rnblog.co.uk
Results following websitegrader tool.
Website Grade 70
Moz Rank -1
Indexed Pages 255
Traffic Rank 10,932,429
Blog Grade Not Graded
Linking Domains 2
-
The -1 probably means that you don't have any yet. Wait until the next Linkscape update some time in August and see then again. Give it some time.

On my moz bar it is zero, when i tried website grader, (not sure on how reliable it is) it gave me -1 as in the text above.
But still 0 isnt good I believe I'd be happy with a 4. So ive been working on backilinks and im aware it may take a while, but is this the only way to get a good moz ranking. Or is their something in my optimisation, the reason i ask is because opensite explorer doesn't give me much info on it and my campaign highlights the obvious broken links and errors to me.
I also cant see my site on google on any page in natural searches. Again I put this down to the moz ranking as the traffic looked okay and was much higher than others and the indexed page i assume has to be okay being higher.

I didn't even knew there was a negative MozRank. My MozBar doesn't show negative, it shows only positive on root domain and 0, 0, 0 on page. Where did you get -1 from? Printscreen?

Copying items from major website - bad?
Hello, I working on a new project that collect news items from websites like Bloomberg and CNN, I'm take the title and the full content of specific articles and publish them under my domain. At the same time my writers publish unique articles on the site. Sure, I'm adding "Source" for each duplicate article with the link to the source. 1. It's risky?

Content on ecommerce categories - good or bad?
We have a case with a client where they previously had content on top of their most important ecommerce categories. The content was well integrated and should in my opinion enhance the category experience, but after doing some A/B testing they proved to only decrease the conversion rates when sending traffic directly to those categories. Around that topic I have two questions: Is it a bad thing to put the content BELOW the categories? I need examples of categories where content and products are very well integrated and enhances the category experience - any tips?

New to MOZ and so far love tools but need some quick tips on title, keywords and descriptions
First of all:
On-Page Optimization | | nickcargill
I am excited about using all the MOZ tools! I just got back my webcrawl and have found
a lot of issues that I am working on. I am a Vacation Rental Property Manager with 150 properties, all different. 90% of my pages have the same keywords and descriptions and a lot of same page titles
too. I can change all of these by adding a few fields in my database and then
populating the meta information dynamically. For Example: <title>Big Bear Cabins | Big Bear Cabin Rentals - Chateau Alta Vista Cabin</title>
Chateau Alta Vista, Big Bear Cabins, Big Bear Cabin Rentals
Chateau ALta vista is a Big Bear Cabin with four bedrooms, three
bathrooms, it is Big Bear Luxury Property. If you notice the Title, keyword are dynamically populated from the database using the
property name of Chateau Alta Vista. The description is an extra field in the database that I just implemented that I can customize per property. I have a few questions, but here is more information: I also have 5 or 6 related pages
to each property. Pages Like general information, photos, calendars, book
Question 1): Is the best way of doing my titles, keywords and descriptions. Any concerns or recommendations. I have read, do not even use keywords anymore. Question 2) I have other pages that show maybe 8 or 10 photos. So is it ok to do the following; Title <photos of="" big="" bear="" cabin="" chateu="" alta="" vista<="" title="">Meta Keywords <photos of="" big="" bear="" cabins="" chateu="" alta="" vista="">Meta Description <check out="" photos="" of="" big="" bear="" cabin="" rentals,="" chateua="" <br="">Alta Vista, etc Currently, I have some archaic page naming with database driven url parameters such as</check></photos></photos> http://destinationbigbear.com/property_Detail_v.aspx?propid=669 and at worse http://destinationbigbear.com/Property_detail_v.aspx?propid=669&rate= $1,127.10&checkoutdate=07/13/2014&beds=4&firstnight=07/11/2014&nights=2 I do not have he ability to to full url encoding such as http://destinationbigbear.com/cabins/chateau-alta-vista but I can do http:/www.destinationbigbear.com/big-bear-cabin-info.aspx?cabin=chateau%alta%vista Question is what do I do... If I do change the page names I will lose the history of property_detail_V.aspx which only has a Page Authority of 21, but if I change the page name and dynamic navigation of my website will I not lose all my authorities, if so, is it worth doing it? My highest keyword ranking is 30 which is terrible. Nick0 -

Authorship - How bad is it to use a fictional character instead of the actual author ??
Hi I know authorship is all about the author hence should be a real person (the author) but in the case of children's books etc etc is it really not ok to develop authorship around the character rather the actual author ? For example kids searching google will recognise the character but not the author Even if G doesnt like it how bad is it to ignore them and proceed with the character ? All Best Dan

Footers... Good or Bad?
I know in the past footers have been seen as a bad idea. I need to get up to date. Does having footer links that point to your own site with anchor texts keywords create problems? or is it safe to have? Will it do anything to our google rankings? Is it going to penalize us? As well, how many is acceptable, do I want all 77 links or have 15 with sub-categories?

Canonical URL's - Fixed but still negatively impacted
I recently noticed that our canonical url's were not set up correctly. The incorrect setup predates me but it could have been in place for close to a year, maybe a bit more. Each of the url's had a "sortby" parameter on all of them. I had our platform provider make the fix and now everything is as it should be. I do see issues caused by this in Google Webmaster, for instance in the HTML suggestions it's telling me that pages have duplicate title tags when in fact this is the same page but with a variety of url parameters at the end of the url. To me this just highlights that there is a problem and we are being negatively impacted by the previous implementation. My question is has anyone been in this situation? Is there any way to flush this out or push Google to relook at this? Or is this a sit and be patient situation. I'm also slightly curious if Google will at some point look and see that the canonical urls were changed and then throw up a red flag even though they are finally the way they should be. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks,
