Get up and running with the Moz tools.

  • cindyt-17038


    I would like to track 6 competitors for a new client, maybe short term, maybe long term. Can I set up 2 Moz Campaigns for the same client using the same keywords only with different competitors?

    I am trying to reorganize my site and with that my home page. I want to follow the 100 internal link rule. However when I run a Moz crawl test it says that there is too many on page links. I than went to Moz open site explorer and it said there is 237 links. When I exclude in bound links that still leaves me in the mid 100 range. After counting them my self I can only come up with 75 on page links. Does anyone know how I can find what Moz is referring to? And how I would be able to find where this links are? I might be missing something simple or maybe I don't understand exactly how the Moz tools work. That is why  input from this great community would help. Thanks!

    Its been a long time since I've used Moz and things have changed considerably from them so I want to make sure I'm on the right track here. I typically only work on the on-page SEO and then comparing backlinks vs competitors. I typically have someone else handle new backlinks as they seem to be almost impossible to get these days. Typically I go with this Workflow (simplified version): Research - KeywordPlanner tool, keywordtool, ubersuggest, etc then trim the list and use Rank Tracker to look at actual keyword difficulty of top 10 listings or a manual check if its a small list. On Site Analysis - Use Website Auditor to get full view of on-site issues and then solve them by starting with broken links then HTML, then meta, etc. On Page Analysis - Looking at the Page Audit from Website Auditor to see areas where a client is failing to optimize the page for a specific keyword and then fix it. Gather Backlinks - Use SEO Spyglass to gather the links of competitors, analyze them, then check each one manually to determine if I can get the same link if its a high quality one. With Moz, would this look something like this: Research - KeywordPlanner tool, keywordtool, ubersuggest, etc then trim the list and use Keyword Difficulty to look at actual keyword difficulty of top 10 listings or a manual check if its a small list. On Site Analysis - Use Moz Analytics Campaigns to get full view of on-site issues and then solve them by starting with broken links then HTML, then meta, etc. On Page Analysis - Looking at On-Page Grader to see areas where a client is failing to optimize the page for a specific keyword and then fix it. Gather Backlinks - Use Open Site Explorer to gather the links of competitors, analyze them, then check each one manually to determine if I can get the same link if its a high quality one. If so then on #1 should I be doing the basic or a full each time? Is there something I am missing on this list?

    Hi, I'm setting up a Moz campaign for a new client, and when I get to the third step, "Choose the search engines for which you would like to track rankings," there's nothing to select. No drop down, or anything, just a blank field under the heading. If I try to advance, I get an error pop-up that says I must select a search engine. Has anyone else run into this problem? What should I do? GlWPAsc zAmzqFf

    How long do they really take? I  think I opted in to receive emails from MOZ but I didn't see that as an option on the email form. I need to be able to rely on the assumption that if I set up a custom email to send that it will in fact send.

    Hi everyone, I have a quick question regarding setting up my MOZ account and it's
    integration with a Google Analytics account: I'm not sure if I'm right but I think I can only set a single Google
    Analytics account to do my analysis and then created several campaign. Or is there a possibility to set several Google Analytics accounts and creating several camapign to track diferente websites (connected to diferente Google Analytics accounts) ? Thanks! Cheers, Bernardo

    Hi, Can some body explain me in simple terms that how Moz can help me see if there is any traffic on keywords for example a, b, and c i have decided for my site. And If there is no/low traffic then what I should do next? How many options are available to me to bring up traffic to my keywords? Thanks

    Hi Guys Loving what I have found so far with Moz and now I am ready to move on up as the reports function is critical to me. Can you clarify for me that a 'branded' report will carry my logo etc (including scheduled emails) and not Moz. Namely is this function whitelabel. Sorry for such a newbie query, I do think it is down to language semantics but just wanting to clarify before I make the jump. Thanks

    I'm monitoring 14 of our companies websites. When I have setup one custom report I would like to copy that report setup to another campaign so they all report the same. Guess I'm lazy but great if I don't need to redo the work 14 times.

    I have a new site that has all the bots turned off so google can't index my site until I'm finished it. I've been working on this site for a couple months now optimizing and I was wondering if there was anyway I can run a preliminary scan on the site for my titles, URLs, Headers, Alt Tags and pretty much anything else that will grade my work and tell me if i did anything wrong? Can MOZ do this with the Bots turned off? Thanks

    I am new to doing SEO, and am not an SEO professional.  I'm just taking a DIY approach to learning about and doing my own SEO for some non-profit work and using Moz is my first foray into it.  I have a question about which day of the week is best to run my campaigns. I have 5 campaigns running, but I set them up rather haphazardly.  So one is running on Saturdays, and the remaining 4 run on Mondays.  I am running these campaigns on sites that are not mine.  I'm not the webmaster.  This is a non-profit, sort of a research effort that seeks to investigate other non-profit websites that all advocate on a particular topic.  I'd like to be able to compare the 5 campaigns (e.g., their keyword rankings especially).  So I think I should get them all running on the same day.  Setting aside that Moz isn't able to let me switch which day they run on, I'm needing advice on how to think about which day of the week I should choose.  I haven't been running them for very long and I'm sill a newbie so I don't think it's a huge deal that I'll need to re-setup at least one of the campaigns to get them all on the same day.   I've been searching Moz Q & A and google for things like "best day of the week to track SERPs" and "how often to track SERPs" but I'm not getting anything that's helping me think about what's important for choosing a day of the week.  I am getting results for other rank trackers out there that let you do more frequent ranking but I'm not quite ready to branch out to other tools, so I really more need some guidance on how to think about which day of the week to choose here in Moz.  Blog posts, tutorials, links to related questions, etc on this topic would be awesome, plus your general thoughts and discussion on it would be great, too.

    Hi guys, I've got a very seasonal client and I'm wondering which way would be best to set up a MOZ account for them: Option 1: Multiple campaigns (Same URL, Same competitors, Different keywords) Option 2: Single campaign (All keywords labelled by season) Option 3: Something else? Thanks guys - All ideas welcomed!

    I noticed on my dashboard that I have the ability to switch between a most recent weekly view and a monthly view, which is great because I can compare site progress on a monthly basis when the full months data has been prepared. Problem is, there doesn't seem to be an obvious similar control on the custom reporting tab.  Ideally, I would like to be able to create custom reports that are based on Monthly metrics rather than weekly. This seems like pretty basic functionality, surely, I'm overlooking something simple here?  Can you all steer me in the right direction on this, thanks!

    Just signed up and have a lot of (probably stupid) questions! When I go to my campaign in Moz Pro, Links, Link Analysis, I see a long list of inbound links. However, the only option is to export it into CSV via the Open Site Explorer, but when I open that up the list of links is completely different (and much smaller) than the one in the Link Analysis section. Is there a way to download the links listed in the Link Analysis section, and what is hhe different between the links listed here and in the OSE?

    Hi, I've only signed up recently and set up my first campaign this morning.  I get this message which I presume is pretty standard _We are gathering data for your campaign. It may take a minute or two for us to bring back some initial data. In the meantime feel free to grab some coffee, we should be ready when you get back. _ Except, that was over an hour ago, and I've had several cups of coffee. Has something gone horribly wrong or does it normally take this long?

    Hi, I am hoping someone could help explain - I have a screaming frog account and ran a crawl using it, it returned a lot of 0 status codes 'connection timeout', 'DNS lookup failed' and 'Connection Refused'. However, the SEO MOZ Crawl doesn't detect any of this. I am fairly new to these tools, do you know why this is? Thanks a lot! 🙂

    When i do this tool on this doll..... http://www.reallovesexdolls.com/sex-doll-aka-love-doll-jadyn-3ft3-100-cm/ It is saying that i stuffed the keyword sex doll 18 times (?!), but i wrote NO TEKST! Now i am maybe a stupid woman, but i seriously dont get this. _Editor's note: _You can probably tell from the URL, but site is NSFW.

    Hello, i recently translated my website to spanish, keywords,meta tags, content etc. All of our URL for the translated pages start "ep", which symbolizes espanol. My question is, does moz crawl those pages along with my english pages? or do i have add another campaign for moz to crawl my spanish pages seperately?

    Hi, I am having a problem with my Wordpress site http://www.food-and-garden. It seems the domain www.food-and-garden.com is added to the url, for example http://www.food-and-garden.com/recipe-items/blini-lumpfish-roe/www.food-and-garden.com Right now I have 249 404 errors. That's a lot! I found  a Q&A similar to this, and as far as I understand, it has to do with relative links. I quess somewhere on my site there is href="www.food-and-garden.com" instead of href="http://www.food-and-garden.com" My question is, how do I find the broken link? Thank you!

    I just joined Moz and am trying to use the tools however, when I attempt to do so every link comes to a that only allows me access to post questions here. If anyone can tell me what tool is best to find reasons google has not indexed my site, I would greatly appreciate the help. Also if anyone knows why I am keep getting routed to this forum when I try to use any of the tools, I would also appreciate help with this. So far Moz is very frustrating.

    Hello, I'm so new in Moz and SEO world and i just started my website, a WordPress blog, I'm in a content creation period and i want to make it right from the beginning but I'm confused about how to use Moz tools in this period because i don't have content or traffic so no analytic as i think, so What is the best use of Moz tools in this period? About keyword difficulty tool i think this is the most tool i will use in the beginning, how i choose which keywords to use from my keywords list, in this time I'm depending on the on page SEO only, no backlinks no social engagements, which keywords to use to appear fast in search engines for a startup? less than "% difficulty " or between, I"m new in this word Please Moz and SEO experts give me a hand here. Note: I'm using Medium Moz pro plan.

    I maintain a site that provides access to bankruptcy records.  I want to try an optimize the site for searches involving the case name and generic terms like "bankruptcy filing".  So, the keyword would be "(case name) bankruptcy filing".  How do I use Moz to help when the number of case names is high (100,000+)?  Any other suggestions for what to do when working on long tail matches?

    Hi there, I would like to understand if in "Other visit" could be included traffic from adwords. I see a 97% decrease of this value concerning of my internt site and I need to understand the reason. I switched out an Adwords campaign last month, so I thought this decrease could be related to this aspect. Thank you. Massimiliano

    Hi. New to Moz here. I really like all of the tools. Moz recently sent me a Crawl Report and flagged every page as a duplicate content and duplicate title. The only reason/difference between the pages it flagged is the beginning of the URL. The crawl report shows the http://websitename.com and then http://www.websitename.com/ Is there something I'm missing about setting up my website? You can use either form to browse to my website, with the www and without. Why would Moz flag that as a duplicate? Scott

    Hi, Since I subscribed to Moz my Magento store has given a lot of duplicate content issues. However, I did have a problem with Canonical URL at the time. It has been settled for a couple of weeks by now and although I had 302 redirects before, I configured Magento to 301 today. Since Moz has been crawling and showing duplicate content for exactly the same Magento pages but with endings like store=us, store=aus etc (since I have several store views enabled), I am wondering whether canonical URL does actually help Google to skip these versions of the duplicate pages and does Moz also understand it and will it reduce the amount of duplicate content errors once the 301 redirects and canonical URLs have been properly set for a week or so? Thanks!

    How can I find out why rogerbot won't crawl an individual page I give it to crawl for page-grader?  Google, bing, yahoo all crawl pages just fine, but I put in one of the internal pages fo page-grader to check for keywords and it gave me an F -- it isn't crawling the page because the keyword IS in the title and it says it isn't.   How do I diagnose the problem?

    Hi, I am a bit confused as to how Moz handles the tracked keywords list that it periodically updates and sends me e-mails about regarding where the position has changed etc. When I signed up for Moz it somehow automatically found a part of our keywords that we use and is now tracking them successfully. However, I have a lot more keywords to track ofcourse since we have nearly 1000 products and Moz hasn't really discovered most of them automatically. Does it mean that the rest of the pages are not optimized enough to even recognize a specific keyword or is it just the matter of adding them all manually? Thanks!

    Hi i use to be a user of SEO moz before the change to just Moz, however i am struggling to navigate around and work on campaigns. I need to know what steps to take methodically from setting up a campaign, keyword research, competitors and monitoring SERPs results.  in addition  improving the page grade reports and analysing keyword difficulty. Whilst Moz assist you to set up some of this initially when creating the campaign i feel it doesn't seem to take you through a logical methodical step process of configuring in depth the steps of ensuring the correct settings are relevant to the campaign i.e.  an outline of the steps and i need to take that follow on from each other and getting your campaign completed. for example: create campaign keyword research onpage optimisation competitor research link finder analyser run reports that related to the info provided above I feel lost in the features of moz whilst i can see they are highly beneficial putting them to use in a chronological order to ensure the the correct setup and make use of these tools. i.e. where to start and where to end currently i feel i can only find where to start and what i should do after that to make use of Moz fully is somewhat missing. Thanks in advance, any links and direct appreciated, i would alsolike to possible speak to a Moz team member regarding my account setup if possible.
