SEO Moz analysing US site when I want it to analyse UK site
-
Hi there, I am trying to analyse the UK version of my website. However as the website is set to redirect people to the most relevant site and SEO Moz is based in the US, it is redirecting all the pages your crawling and therefore analysing US pages. So I am trying to look at the UK homepage but all the factors relate to the US site... Is there a way around this?? Thanks

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately at this time we do not have a way to have Roger crawl at a specific IP, since Roger uses a dynamic set of IP to crawl sites to get the most unbiased results. Creating a sub folder campaign at this moment is the only way to get an effective crawl for that site, unfortunately from this point on this is a web development question, which is something better left to the experts in our forum. I left this post as an on-going discussion to other to chime in, you could also use your private question to ask our associates
In the mean time, I would also recommend you go to our feature request forum to request this feature, once you finish it, others can vote this feature which lets our development team plan their next feature inclusion You can go there by using this link: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/categories/6327-known-issues-feature-requests
Hope that helps!

Hi Peter,
The issue is that if I enter the subfolder www.mytights.com/gb it then auo redirects users in the states to the US - I have tried using teh tag we use to force it to go to the store we want (?store_switcher=off) and this hasnt worked either...
It says "The URL mytights.com/gb redirects to a page that is not within the specified subfolder or subdomain (mytights.com/us)...."
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out to us! I do see what you are talking about, looks like your site is redirecting user agents to the site that is based on the the area their connection originated from. Unfortunately due to the over-inclusive nature of Roger, our crawler will not be able to accurately crawl your site if it tries to go to www.mytights.com.
The only way I could think was to set up a subfolder campaign where you let roger know to go to a specific subfolder to crawl the information/page. For example, take samsung's product global site www.samsung.com, it does a similar redirect to the country's page based on region, however you can still go to another countries' page by typing in the URL, i.e. www.samsung.com/cl for Samsung Chile's page. From that point if I want that countries' crawl information, I would simply setup a subfolder campaign to look for www.samsung.com/cl. I am wondering do you have something like that set up for your site such as www.mytights.com/uk (I am finding a 404) which I am assuming when I go to www.mytights.co.uk it will redirect me back to the US site.
Sorry for the long answer, but this comes down to a design question, since our product was designed to be over-inclusive with such a diverse client base (Roger doesn't shop....yet), so to get the most unbiased information for pages, it assumes multiple IPs to do its work which does present some problems for sites such as these with regional redirects. That design question is where my expertise comes to an end and I leave that to your capable hands, it would have to involve something on the subfolder level that can direct Roger to go to your UK page. ':)
Hope that helps!

How do I mprove site visibility and keyword ranking for new product site
Hi, Sorry if this is a ridiculous post as I am really new to SEO, but I haven't had this problem with other sites! We had a website www.r-dna.co.uk that was never promoted or used very much as it was early days in the product lifecycle. The product (is called R-DNA or Remote Data Network Analysis) is now live so we re-branded and re-launched the site - it has now been live since the beginning of September but we still only have 0.35% visibility and very little ranking in our keywords. We are also using Google Adwords to try and generate business and have registered with numerous online business directories. I have been blogging to update content, tweeting and updating our facebook page, but we still aren't getting the traffic or visibility increases that we have experienced with our other sites. The MOZ site crawl shows 5 medium priority issues (duplicate title page & missing meta description tag), but no major issues. I know its probably fairly early days for a "new" site, but wondered if anyone could advise if there is anything wrong which would explain our lack of visibility.

SEO and page redirects from a high ranking site quandary
We are launching a site on a new domain that is taking the place of a group (subset) of pages in an existing domain. BUT The pages on the existing domain have really good SEO rankings in a very competitive category and we want to leverage the traffic it gets today in the best way, so.... Which of the following would be the best practice in this case (in regards to SEO)? Modify the existing pages' content so that there are prominent calls to action that lead the users to the new domain. Create permanent redirects for the existing pages for their counterparts on the new domain. This is more direct for the user but we don't know how it will affect the current ranking. Something other than the above. Many thanks for you help Gary

SEO Moz Bug? Universal Placements
Had a quick look around and can't find anything relating to this. We are doing really well with our universal placements, google places etc. SEOMoz used to recognise them, but now I have no universal placements according to SEOMoz, though they are clearly all still doing well. But in the program, or problem with the data? Thanks Marc

New on SEO Moz and need help regarding panda recover.
Hello Dear Members, I am a new member to not only seomoz but to the SEO World as well. I was learning and implementing SEO from the last 5,6 months and got my website on Google.com page 1. I was quite happy with all the results. I recently got adsense approved on my site and was quite happy with the earnings as well. Unfortunately the most recent Panda update has effected most of my SEO efforts I was doing from the last 5,6 months. My rankings are effected a lot and same with my earnings from adsense. My rankings are effected in this manner. A couple of keywords that were in top 3 spots (1st page Google.com) are now at 7,8 (1st page Google.com) position. There are 3,4 pages that were previously on 5,6 spot (1st page Google.com) are now on 15, 16 spot (2nd page Google.com). Now I want to ask what tools from seomoz can help me to regain my lost positions in Google? Secondly what type of strategy (backlinks) can help me to regain the lost rankings? Best Regards Sam

Open Site Explorer Question!
Hi, I have performed a search on a root domain and the page auth is higher then the domain auth? I would have thought they would have been the same or at least the other way around!
