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?

Why does the Keyword Difficulty Tool shows no Search Volume?
I've run a full report in many keywords on the Keyword Difficulty Tool, but in the Search Volume field all of them have the message "not enough data". Screenshot attached. Why is that? I have keywords like "magnesium" that popular and have quite some traffic. Any help is appreciated, thanks! semoz-keywords-analytics.jpg

SEOmoz tool Issue?
Hi Mozzers, I am doing a web maintenance task for a client and it's been weeks that Moz is detecting 49 duplicate pages ( contact page). I thought resolving the issue when creating the xml sitemap and excluding those duplicates. The moz tool would still detect them, so I went in making a search with some of these duplicate to check if they were indexed but non of them were indexed. So my question is has anyone recently experienced similar issues? Is the moz tool not 100% accurate? Thanks for sharing your thoughts and answers

Keyword Difficulty Report vs Rankings Report
Hi, Question: Is there a difference between the Keyword Difficulty Report and the Rankings Report? I am tracking a long tail phrase in the Rankings Report for a Campaign. The Google results are that it's not in the top 50. Yet, in the Keyword Difficulty report, there it is in the 5th spot. I'm not sure I know which to believe. Thanks!

Why are we not ranking? We have done all we can think of. Can you help?
We have an old domain that we have had for years now. And recently. December, we completely redesigned the site, I mean a complete overhaul, design, architecture, asp to php for example. Resubmitted to google via webmaster with a new site map etc. Our website for reference is www.completeoffice.co.uk. We are trying to rank in UK google, www.google.co.uk, for the term office refurbishment kent (we are on page 2) and office refurbishment (we are on page 17). This is confusing me, because thats 7 pages lower than we were originally, before the site design, its better seo wise, duplicate content is none, title tage meta tags all correct, domain authority has doubled from 12 to 24 in a few months all in an effort to rank better. our homepage and office refurb pages both got an A on the on page SEOmoz tool test. So we dont understand why we are not ranking highly. It seems sites, much uglier and less seo friendly than our with same or lower domain authority are ranking at least 10 pages higher than us. Why is this? Can anyone help or give us a few suggestions. All help greatly appreciated. SEOmozzers.
