I'm having difficulties with SEOmoz Rank Tracker tool. During last month, it hasn't worked properly.
I was suggested to use "campaign based rank tracking tool"- I would like to learn if anyone has already used it?
Thanks,

Hi Sema,
I am happy to be of help. If you don't want to rely on a single tool like SEOmoz I understand I must say though I think SEOmoz is the best when it comes to this however this is my personal opinion. You may use incognito to check some things and it will work much better than if you were logged into Google or were not using incognito. However if I were to Google "pizza near me" whether or not I am using incognito I would get the closest pizza parlor to me. For instance I'm in Florida so I will obviously get different results in somebody in Chicago. Some of the tools you can use for your websites to get unbiased information are www.majesticseo.com http://www.surcentro.com http://www.semrush.com and check out the companies listed here http://www.semrush.com/partners.html
I hope this has answered your questions. If not please post again or let me know I would be happy to help you.

Hi Thomas,
Thank you very much for your detailed answer. I'll try to use that tool now to rank our websites. Somehow I don't like relying on single tool. If I use google incognito how helpful or realistic my results be? Do you have any ideas on this or any more suggestions?
Thanks,
Sema

Hi Sema,
The campaign based rank tracking tool is to give you an unbiased or on tainted (by your search preferences in Google that can change what you would see as opposed to what I might see if I looked up a keyword) understanding of your true rank in Google, Bing & Yahoo. For whatever website you put in your SEOmoz campaign.. All you need to use it is your SEOmoz Pro subscription then go into http://pro.seomoz.org/campaigns or campaigns you'll see the button is the 2nd to the right when you log into SEOmoz after that go to create campaign. You will be asked to enter your URL with a subdomain (when they say subdomain they mean www.) enter it along with I believe 5 of your competitors. It is important for them to have your Google Analytics ID if you do not have Google Analytics yet or you would like to find your ID go to https://www.google.com/analytics/web/ then either sign in or sign up. Once you have done all this give SEOmoz the time to crawl your site once that is done you will have access to an amazing amount of information. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
I hope I was of help.
Sincerely,
Thomas Zickell

Using rel=canonical
I have a set of static pages which were created with the purpose of targeting long tail keywords. That has resulted in Domain Authority dilution to some extent. I am now in the process of creating one page which will serve the same results but only after user selects the fields in the drop-down. I am planning to use rel=cannonical on the multiple pages pointing back to the new page. Will it serve the purpose?

Ranking for multiple locations for the same service
I'm currently developing my brothers new website and taking care of the SEO. He provides roofing services and uPVC fascias, soffits & guttering service. He is looking to target multiple towns and cities within a region (Yorkshire). Each service has its own page but I'm wondering if it would be better to create a service page for each town with different content? It's quite difficult to re-write the service content for each town and not repeat yourself. For example, we're looking to target "roofer in leeds" "roofer in sheffield" "roofing services wakefield" etc etc Obviously it's more difficult to rank outside your physical town as the registered address is on Google maps but with content and link building we should see some results. I look forward to hearing some feedback.

Should I Use the Disavow Tool to for a Spammy Site/Landing Page?
Here's the situation... There's a site that is linking to about 6 articles of mine from about 225 pages of theirs (according to info in GWT). These pages are sales landing pages looking to sell their product. The pages are pretty much identical but have different urls. (I actually have a few sites doing this to me.) Here's where I think it's real bad -- when they are linking to me you don't see the link on the page, you have to view the page source and search for my site's url. I'm thinking having a hidden url, and it being my article that's hidden, has got to be bad. That on top of it being a sales page for a product I've seen traffic to my site dropping but I don't have a warning in GWT. These aren't links that I've placed or asked for in any way. I don't see how they could be good for me and I've already done what I could to email the site to remove the links (I didn't think it would work but thought I'd at least try). I totally understand that the site linking to me may not have any affect on my current traffic. So should I use the Disavow tool to make sure this site isn't counting against me?

Weird 404 Errors in Webmaster Tools
Hi, In a regular check with Webmaster Tools, I have noticed a sudden increase in the number of "not found-404" errors. So I have been looking at them and noticed something weird has been going on. There are well over 100 pages with 404-errors. The funny thing is, none of the ULR's are correct, For example, if the actual url is something like www.domain.com/latest-reviews , the 404-error points to a non-existent URL like www.domain.com/latest-re And when I checked where they were linked from, they are all from these spammy sites. Anyone know what could be causing these links, why would anyone link on purpose to a non-existent page? cheers,

Would duplicate listings effect a client's ranking if they used same address?
Lots of duplication on directory listings using similar or same address, just different company names... like so-and-so carpet cleaning; and another listing with so-and-so janitorial services. Now my client went from a rank around 3 - 4 to not even in the top 50 within a week. -- -- -- Would duplication cause this sudden drop? Not a lot of competition for a client using keyword (janitorial services nh); -- -- -- would a competitor that recently optimized a site cause this sudden drop? Client does need to optimize for this keyword, and they do need to clean up this duplication. (Unfortunately this drop happened first of March -- I provided the audit, recommendations/implementation and still awaiting the thumbs up to continue with implementation). --- --- --- Did Google make a change and possibly find these discrepancies within listings and suddenly drop this client's ranking? And they there's Google Places:
Technical SEO | | CeCeBar
Client usually ranks #1 for Google Places with up to 12 excellent reviews, so they are still getting a good spot on the first page. The very odd thing though is that Google is still saying that need to re-verify their Google places. I really would like to know for my how this knowledge how a Google Places account could still need verification and yet still rank so well within Google places on page results? because of great reviews? --- Any ideas here, too? _Cindy0 -

How do 301 redirects affect rankings?
Scenario: example.com/red-shoes gets 301 redirected to example.com/brown-boots because we have stopped selling red shoes and now only sell brown boots (which is a fairly new page with no authority). the red-shoes page ranked well for "red shoes" and "footwear". Will Google still index and show the red-shoes url in the SERPs? Will the "red shoes" and "footwear" keywords still rank well? Or does the redirected/new boots page need to properly support these keywords? The boots page has inherited the juice from the shoes page, but how does it help the boots page rank well? Only for keywords that both pages targeted, like a general "footwear" type keyword? Thanks in advance!

How will a domain change affect my rankings?
My company will undergo a domain change in the next few months. Other than implementing 301 redirects, what else can I do to help the search engines realize the site has moved? What kind of impact on rankings can I expect to see? Thanks in advance!
