Negative references to Javascript in Beginners Guide to SEO (chapter 4)
-
There are numerous negative references to using JavaScript in the Beginners Guideto SEO. Our site was created on Wix that uses JavaScript. Can this impact our Google rankings? Are the references still valid?
We rebuilt our site on Wix in July, 2015. Previously on GoDaddy for 4 years, but could not make the site mobile friendly via GoDaddy editor, so moved to Wix. ANY Suggestions for www.MyLongarm.com? mike

It is in there because Google struggled to read Javascript. I would imagine the guide was create a while ago and since then Google can see JavaScript however it might not be as useful as a normal website, generally I would recommend you try to move away from Wix as I've seen many people struggle with their SEO and that site. However Google will still index your website all okay and there is no massive problems if your site is created for users as a priority.
Hope it helps & Good luck.

Explain me how you use keyword explorer for SEO
Hello, Can you explain me how you use keyword explorer for SEO because I watched many video and after watching them everything is a little confusing... From my understanding, you have you main keyword let's say "Normandy bike tours". Based on that keyword you decide to cover TOPICS. Let's say I decide to cover D-Day landings, Omaha beach and and Caen on my page about" Normandy bike tours" ( I could cover more or others I imagine but now let's say those TOPICS are the ones I have decided to cover. From that point on what I understand is that I need to cover each of those TOPICS and the way to cover each of them is to type each of those words separately in the keyword explorer and look for words that the keyword explorer gives mes that it considers to be "semantically related" to each of those TOPICS. Then, if I choose the corrects one google will understand the different TOPIC and that should boost my ranking. Is it the whole idea ? PS : How many do you look at to find semantically related words ? 10, 20 or more ? Thank you,

Negative difficulty and priority scores in keyword report
Hello! We have recently tracked a number of keywords into Moz's Keyword Explorer, but for a number of them the difficulty and priority scores are all -2. We don't rank currently for these so does anybody know what is causing the difficulty to be in negative figures? Thanks!

Is there any way to automatically filter negative keywords out of Keyword Explorer results?
I use Keyword Explorer a LOT for fleshing out new campaigns. However, the results I get frequently contain queries with words that are in my negative keyword lists. Today, I solve this with export and some Excel wizardry but keep thinking how convenient it would be if there was a way to provide a list upfront of negative keywords and get pre-scrubbed results. Does this exist? If not, how can I escalate this as a feature request? 🙂

WP 4.0 Update Causing Major Duplicate Content Errors?
According to my moz analytics, my site has went through the roof with duplicate content. There's a nice Mozzer named Abe looking into this with me, but I'm wondering if it could be due to the WP 4.0 update. Has anyone else experienced an uptick like this before? I've never had any problems with the other updates. Thanks, Ruben
