Confusion with Brand Rules
-
Hi All,
I have labeled my keywords, some are branded and some aren't and i have set them accordingly. I know get the the 'manage brand rules' section and even having watched the tutorial twice, i still don't know what this is for as i have already labeled my branded keywords. Can anyone clarify for me please?
Many thanks

Keyword stuffing on a shop Brand Collection Pages - would schema.org Microdata helps?
I'm setting up a Shop for a customer and have few questions about Brand Collection Pages in General. I create collection pages for the main Vendors & Designers and since I add their Brand Names on their products I have more than 40 times the Brand name on one Collection Page. When I run Moz On-Page Optimization I get a „B“ classification since Keyword stuffing for the Brand name. I put the Product Informations (brand-name, product-name, product-price) into Schema.org - Microdata and I‘m just curious what is the best practice. Don‘t using the Brand name when using Brand collection pages, using Microdata only on the product page since there starts the conversion, using Micordata whenever it is possible, doesn't matter since the overall sense of a Collection Pages is to have a lot duplicated Brand names per Page. I honestly have no idea but I just believe that Google or other search engines would appreciate if I categorize it as a Product including Brand-name and price. The other Point is, on the Collection Page I just show the Product Details when the User hover over the Image. As far as I understand, Microdata should be visible. Just showing something when hovering over an Image is that visible or not ? Or in other words, does it makes sense to use Microdata in this case? I just guess Yes since it is not totally hidden. This particular Band Name in my case is „L‘Agent“. For whatever reason Moz don‘t understand the apostrophe in L‘Agent and I get the recommendation to use the exact Keyword in the Title, what I already doing. Is there any trick or work-around on apostrophes? Here is the collection Page http://petit-paris.me/collections/l-agent-by-agent-provocateur Thanks Siggi

Rogerbot's crawl behaviour vs google spiders and other crawlers - disparate results have me confused.
I'm curious as to how accurately rogerbot replicates google's searchbot I've currently got a site which is reporting over 200 pages of duplicate/titles content in moz tools. The pages in question are all session IDs and have been blocked in the robot.txt (about 3 weeks ago), however the errors are still appearing. I've also crawled the page using screaming frog SEO spider. According to Screaming Frog, the offending pages have been blocked and are not being crawled. Webmaster tools is also reporting no crawl errors. Is there something I'm missing here? Why would I receive such different results. Which one's should I trust? Does rogerbot ignore robot.txt? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Confused about canonicalization
Hello Guys, I have just started to use SEOMOZ and I am trying as much as possible to follow the advise from the initial scan and suggestions I received from SEOMOZ. However, it appears that the first changes I made has somehow made my website to disappear on Google and other search engines. Canonicalization The first changes I made was "Canonicalization" of my domain name (redirecting to a single dominant version) from the instructions here: http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/canonicalization. So I redirected and changed my domain name from "domainname.com" to "www.domainname.com" I did check my listing in Google before these updates and Google have my website down as "www.domainname.com" My keywords that were previously performing well before these recent updates have now disappeared which is causing me some great level of frustration and I am really not sure weather to continue with the instructions from SEOMOZ or not. However, it could be that I am being impatient or checking too soon. I'd appreciate some form of advise on what to do? Many thanks.

Crawl Errors Confusing Me
The SEOMoz crawl tool is telling me that I have a slew of crawl errors on the blog of one domain. All are related to the MSNbot. And related to trackbacks (which we do want to block, right?) and attachments (makes sense to block those, too) ... any idea why these are crawl issues with MSNbot and not Google? My robots.txt is here: http://www.wevegotthekeys.com/robots.txt. Thanks, MJ
