Hi lyricsgetit,

I hope that helps!

Thank you for this information. I'm looking into this and will get back to you. Thanks for your patience!

Hi seotoolshero0111,

Thanks for your question! No, the walkthrough is not compulsory, but it is highly recommended so that you can get the most value out of Moz Pro and start meeting your business goals.

Do you have any concerns about taking the walkthrough that I can address here? Let me know.

Hi Authority Networks,

Thanks for your question! You are correct that when you see a "Staff" badge on a Community profile, that means the person is on staff at Moz. You can learn more about "Mozzers" here and view our job openings here.

When you see an "Associate" badge on a Community profile, that means that the person is a member of our Associates Team — an amazing group of experts from across the search marketing industry. Moz Associates contribute to the Moz Blog, answer your questions here in our Q&A forum, and work with us to redefine the future of search! You can view bios for all members of our Associates Team here by selecting "Associates" from the drop-down menu.  To learn more about the Moz Associates program, please email us at community@moz.com.

As for the "Pro" badge,  can you share an example or two of Community profiles you're seeing that have that designation?

Christy

In his (intentionally very short) post on Tuesday, Rand makes the case that long-form content isn't necessarily great content:

"Rather than applying a tactic like long-form content universally or setting length as the bar (or even a metric) for greatness, we instead match our content to our audience's needs and our business/personal goals. 700 more words will not help you reach your goals any more than 7 more words. Create content that helps people. Do it efficiently. Never write an ultimate guide where a single image could more powerfully convey the same value. Trust me; your audience and your bottom line will thank you."

I think this is something we all struggle with as online marketers, in one way or another.  As someone who casually consumes online content on a regular basis, this also resonates with me on a personal level.

I'm curious, what are your hesitations with focusing on shorter-form content that packs a wallop, and what excites you about it? Can you think of any examples of content you've come across that you consider 10x short-form content?

And could hard metrics — such as search queries, citations, traffic, and click-through rates — influence organic search rankings? Tom Coad “StickyEyes” tackles both these questions in this post for YouMoz. Take a peek at his research, and let us know how it compares to your own findings.

If you haven't done any research yourself along these lines, I'd love to hear your answers to these same questions based on your more casual observations and analysis of the brands you monitor in the SERPs.

Hi Romeo,

Crawl Test's currently being updated, but you can still use it at http://mz.cm/16nn81v.

Cheers,

In the online marketing community, there is a widespread belief that long-form content ranks better.

In today's YouMoz post, Ryan Purthill shares how his research indicated 1,125 to be a magic number of sorts: The closer a post got to this word count, the better it ranked. Diminishing returns, however, were seen once a post exceeded 1,125 words.

• Does this jibe with your own data and experiences?
• Do you think increasing word count helps content rank better in general?
• What about for specific industries and types of content?

Let's discuss!

This week on The Moz Blog, Eric Enge wrote about Why You Must Become a 10x Brand. In the post, he said:

"You need to be in-demand. If some channel does not make it easy to find you, you need people to miss you. That's why you must behave like an authentic, engaged member of the overall community. Having a great product or service will be a requirement, but that's just table stakes—you need to be a 10x brand."

I'd love to know what you think about this statement. In particular, I would love to hear your answers to the following questions:

• What does becoming a 10x brand mean for you, your business, or your clients?
• What does this look like in small business, medium business, large/huge businesses?
• Is it an easier process for any one of these categories, and how would you go about it?

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this topic, folks. Don't be shy, let's discuss.

Hi Eric_S, this is a great question!

Have you looked into installing Google Tag Manager on your site?

Depending on how your website is managed, installing GTM on your site may or may not require minimal development resources. Once it's up and running, though, you can use GTM to implement all sorts of SEO changes. On your site. Yourself.

Unlike the title tag, including keywords in your H1 will not improve your rankings in the SERPs any more than placing keyword anywhere high up in the code will. That said, including a keyword in your H1 is great for usability, which can increase conversions. When a user clicks on a search result (which includes keywords in the title tag), it is reassuring to click-through to a page with the same keywords prominently displayed.

Marking up your HTML with header tags is also very important for communicating the organization of your page to screen readers, which are used by the vision-impaired to browse the web.

Hi there, thanks for your question. Yes, this would be a very bad idea. Duplicate content issues aside, copying content and passing it off as your own is plagiarism. This is unethical and violates copyright law. If you are interested in publishing someone else's work on your site, you are both legally and ethically obligated to obtain their permission to do so, and then properly attribute to work to the original creator if granted permission to republish it. Rather than going this route, however, your time would be better spent implementing Hutch42's advice. (That is, create your own authoritative content that will naturally earn links, show off your content creation skills, and rank in organic search engine results.) Best of luck!

Christy

Note: GWT search query data is useful for sure, but isn't a keyword ranking tracker in the sense that tools by Moz, Majestic SEO, SEMRush, etc. are. For example, as compared to showing you how you are theoretically ranking (or not ranking) for the keywords you specify, it only shows you data for actual search queries that returned URLs in the SERPs.
