Can I specify a url for a keyword in the rank checker tool?
-
Hello!
I'm new to seomoz and excited to learn the system. I created a campaign and added keywords but I'm not clear how the seomoz campaign rankings tool works.
As an example, one of my keywords 'cigar cutters' is reporting at position 20 for url http://www.cheaphumidors.com/c_guillotine-cutters.html.
However, I think it would be better target to focus that keyword on http://www.cheaphumidors.com/c_cutters.html. as a search for 'cigar cutters' could encompass either a guillotine cutter, punch cutter or cigar scissors.
Is there any way to assign http://www.cheaphumidors.com/c_cutters.html to the term 'cigar cutters' in the campaign ranking report?

Just wanted to follow up - how's your stuff looking?
-
yes. if you go to "see all keyword rankings" in your campaign, you will get a list of your keywords and how they are ranking. clicking on the individual keyword will show you how it's doing in search results, with all pages ranking highlighted.
this will work after they email you indicating your report is ready. right now, you're just getting a "starter crawl." no rush, you'll be fine...
-
So your guess would be after they send that email that they're finished I should see 'humidor sale' ranking for both urls?
-
It depends on the size of the site. Give it a couple of days. They'll send you an email when they're finished. After that, you'll get a weekly report, and they'll email you when it comes in.
Please feel free to contact me if you need any help.

Havent made any page changes. Could it be that since I just signed up yesterday it still has to complete aggregating all of the data? I still get the welcome message saying "good data takes time" but there is no indication as to how long it takes seomoz to complete the rankings check.
-
Ahhh, I see. Two things could be happening.
- You could have changed the second page since SEO Moz ran the campaign report. It is run weekly, and therefore may not be current. You may have changed things, gotten recrawled, and the campaign just hasn't seen it yet. However, Rank Checker is pulling current data.
- (more likely) - click on the actual keyword in your report. Don't download the CSV, just click on the actual keyword. It will give you the top 50 results for that specific keyword. The CSV that contains all keywords will just show you the top result.
That work?
-
That's strange. When I exported the csv from the campaign rankings tool, the term 'humidor' sale only showed up once as ranking for http://www.cheaphumidors.com/ but http://www.cheaphumidors.com/c_medium-humidors.html also ranks at #17 according to the seomoz rank tracker research tool.
-
Forgot to specify - as long as they are on the same domain. If you want to track two domains, you can use two campaigns, or just set one up as a competitor
-
Yes. I don't have an image uploaded to point to, but you will see every instance that you rank for the keyword. It will show up as multiple points within the graph, and every page on your site that ranks will be highlighted in green in the listing of search results.
-
So if the search term, 'cigar cutters' was ranking in the top 50 for both urls, it would show up twice in the report?
-
In your campaign ranking report, it will show all rankings in the top 50 for your domain. So, if you have 2 words ranking for "cigar cutters" both will show up. You can see this by clicking on the keyword in your report. The list of keywords with all of the rankings will show you the top position.
If you go to tools, then "rank checker," you can do this manually. Put in the exact URL and search for the keyword that you are targeting.
Does that help?

MoZ vs SEMRush - Keyword Difficulty and Keyword With Low Competition.
Hi, My question is very focussed regarding these 2 tools. Is it correct to understand that MoZ tells keyword difficulty and not which keyword is easy to compete. And SEMRush tells which keyword is easy to compete but does not tell which keywords are difficult to compete? I mean one (Moz) misses the one part and the other (SEMRush) misses the other part. Hope some will enlighten me to the point. Best

How can I limit the impact of Google's mobile friendly updates on keyword rankings?
Hi everyone, I have a client on a monthly SEO package that is taking a hard hit in the rankings as their website is not mobile friendly. We are currently building a new website for them that will be fully responsive, but face the predicament of how to keep the current site performing relatively well in the rankings in the meantime. The site is generally well optimised and we always follow SEO best practices, so we've hit a bit of a stumbling block as to how to limit any negative impact the mobile friendly updates have on the site. Does anyone have any suggestions for damage limitation? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Keyword Troubles!
I have a network security company http://NBGnetworks.com I've searched high and low on google adwords and with ubersuggest but I can't seem to find any keywords that have traffic and aren't medium or harder. In-fact I've found hundreds of keywords that have no searches at all and are still listed as medium by MOZ. Can any fellow MOZers help me?! Thanks, -Nick

Massive Rank Changes in Bing/Yahoo Only - What's up w/ Rank Tracker?
I'll be honest, it's pretty shameful how little attention I give Bing and Yahoo. But something recently caught my eye - I have a client who according to rank tracker is all over the place in yahoo/bing...up 20 positions for some kw's, down 12 for others...meanwhile Google's holding steady, and Google data seems mostly accurate - with one exception of showing 46th position for an exact match branded search that they're #1 for. I know Rank Tracker has been going through some fine tuning, right? I don't manually check Yahoo/Bing - I can't imagine those #'s are accurate though. Am I right to assume it's incorrect data? Just curious, any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks
