Get up and running with the Moz tools.


  • Hi guys- I am new to Moz. I am looking for a tool which can let me know which keywords my competitors are ranking for.  I want to know both for knowing which keywords I should be doing a better job with and which keywords I am missing overall. My site is www.canadianbullionservices.com and am interested only in Canadian competitors. Thanks Jamie

  • What are the Moz tools available with this package? What factors of SEO can be checked with these tools? With this package, is it possible to provide a single URL (preferably home page) and Moz will analyse the entire site and highlight how the site performs wrt various SEO factors? This package states that with this package we can run 10 Moz Analytics campaigns. Our understanding of Moz Analytics Campaign is every site; say www.test.com is one analytics campaign. Are we correct? Does the subdomains within a parent domain also considered as one analytics campaign. For e.g., if I have sites: www.mydomain.com and www.xxx.mydomain.com are they considered two separate campaigns or are they considered as one single campaign? In this package it is listed as 750 keywords, what does this signify? In what way this feature can be used to check our site’s SEO compliance. Please elaborate. In this package it is listed as 15 social accounts, what does this signify? In what way this feature can be used to check our site’s SEO compliance. Please elaborate. What do you mean by branded reports?

  • Hi Folks, Apologies for the newbie question here, but hope any of the experts here can help. Our blog resides on a subdomain, and our blog increasingly plays an important role in driving traffic to our site. However the subdomain does not seem to show up in our keyword rankings report on Moz pro. Does this report only include URLs on the main site? Is there a way to monitor how our blog ranks on our keywords somewhere else? Thanks in advance all! Regards Patrick

  • I'm interested if it's just me that gets frustrated by this? I've just Ctrl + clicked a few links to open them in separate tabs and then realised that none of them had opened. I know it's been like this for a while. It's a usability issue as it goes against expected norms, and now I have to right-click and then click "Open in new tab" on each link, which is more time-consuming and frustrating. More and more websites seem to be losing their Ctrl + click on links ability (JavaScript often breaks it). I don't know if there's a Mac equivalent... Anyway, I hope that doesn't seem like I'm too angry. It just frustrates me a little and I hope it gets fixed. 🙂 Edit - I've just realised these are getting blocked by Chrome's pop-up blocker - but why? It's only an issue on a small number of websites.

  • Hi, I could not able to access my campaign pages (pro home page). I received the below issue while logged into my account. This webpage has a redirect loop The webpage at http://moz.com/pro/home has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer. Learn more about this problem. Error code: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS I have checked on both firefox,chrome browsers after cleared the history and cookies. Also checked with different ISP providers. But received the same. Has anyone experienced the same? Plz help.

  • Hi Moz community, I'm trying to optimise an online store and I'm thinking of setting up separate campaigns for each of our categories e.g. games, clothing, music etc... If I set up these campaigns with URL's like: /music and /games, would Moz track only URLs within these subdomains? Is this best practice? Thanks, Paul

  • Is there any way to authenticate genuine Moz crawler. Because, our website keeps getting scrapping attacks and if there is no way to authenticate Moz crawler, then, any scraper can just set user agent as Rogerbot and scrape all our pages. Is there a fixed IP that can be used or any other customization that will help us authenticate and allow only Moz crawler to crawl our site. Looking forward to a solution to this problem. We haven't been able to use Moz crawler due to this issue.

  • I am anticipating, say, three main categories of searches for one site (let's say, keywords pertaining to first aid, doctor treatment and emergency room treatment. I have gotten the keyword difficulty data for 20 keywords in a category first aid, and have exported the csv. Now I list 20 different keywords related to doctor treatment. The results come mushed into the first aid report, but I want to export them separately. I figure I can delete all of the entries from the first report and start a new search, but I can't even find a way to remove them from the list. Is there a way to create separate reports to export based on a new set of keywords? Thanks!

  • Trying to load my campaigns and for each one, Google Plus tracking is not loading. It just doesn't take. I've tried with three different clients so either I'm doing something wrong or the system is not working properly. I entered the names of the accounts exactly they appear on the Google Plus page and copy and pasted the url with and without /posts at the end. Any other ideas to troubleshoot this?= Thanks.

  • Even though it shows it should run weekly the campaign appears to be stuck.  Also, it seems like campaign frequency should be a variable under campaign settings, but isn't.  Is there a way to manually run the campaign to add the data?

  • So I set up my Moz campaigns on the 8th of this month. I can see data for the week, however, I can't see data from the previous week or for the month. So my question has two parts: a.) Is there a way to view data for the previous week, and b.) when can I expect to see data for the entire month. Seeing data for the entire month is absolutely critical for me, since this is what I'm going to use to prepare my monthly client reports. Has anyone experienced anything like this? PLEASE HELP!!!

  • Hi I'm on the free trial, I'm finding it really useful. since I was 16 (16years ago) all I've done is cook. After 3 weeks of Moz I feel like I'm or the way to marketing my business instead of having others tell me how to do it. A while back I used to use SEO freelancers to buff my site, but recently I realized that I was not doing enough to promote my business myself, I was trying to pay others to do it for me. I goggled Soe and marketing, of course I found Moz while doing so! The content is exceptional and really goes in depth and we are now coming up with a new content strategy! The problem is that I have this gut feeling that The moz product is worth the money it asks for as I can easily identify the issues or opportunities my site has, I still feel that I lack the competence to use moz  to its full potential! Is there an option to have someone skpe me and give me some tips or in sites with in my own campaign? I've spent a lot of time reading the blog content and watching the videos but this all seams to focus on how to get results but not so much on how to use the Moz console/dashboard. I've probably just missed a hole bunch of content but if not do Moz have and option to help set up your Moz analytic and Research so you can get the most relevant info to you? Any help is most welcome Kind regards Ben Horle SussexChef.com

  • I want to download and compare Keyword Rankings for the prior 2 periods - which are currently August 31 and September 17. Selecting the timeframes refreshes the data on screen but when I download the .csv files they are the same - both showing the 'SERP Date' of 9/18/2014. I've cross checked the data to confirm and it is the same between the 2 files. Am I doings something wrong and/or is there another way to accomplish this?

I did a search regarding the issue, but I only found answers for people using AWS. The results say the .htaccess isn't setup correctly, but I don't know how to fix that file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • One of our competitors uses Https:// on thier search results and when we add and save it, it removes the s - we know their site ranks on specific keywords, we know this from manually searching before we got moz but moz is not showing them because it is looking for http:// not https:// How can i fix this. Also - when we first set it up, we did not add the www. and our analytics are setup as such so we show no traffic on our dashboard, but it wont let me edit to change it. Thanks

  • Hi, I signed up after seeing the videos on Udemy and YouTube (white board Friday) So I've started the free trial and am looking forward to getting my site ranking higher. I've crawled my site www.sussexchef.com and its come back with the following errors (please see below. 608 I'm sure this information is very important but I have no idea how to fix the 608, I found a robots.txt in my directory and deleted it as I think that maybe the problem? I crawled the site twice by accident so will have to wait till tomorrow to find out? 404 I found it quite hard to find the broken links at first but once I realized all the information I needed was in the table I think I got them all. did I miss a tutorial or am I just a little out of my depth here? 503 I have no idea how to fix these, I can click the links and it takes my to that page or file. so how can it be the server down? Or is this because they are links to PDF's? should i convert them to jpegs and give them meta data? I'd be grateful for any help anyone has to offer as I'm keen to learn how to promote my site better.
