How do I differentiate traffic that is from google adwords vs organic searches?
-
Right now it appears to be showing both in the same category. I want to be able to see whats an organic click vs one from google adwords ads.

Glad you got it sorted out, @allb83! Let us know if you have additional Qs.

Actually I just linked them. They in fact were not linked.
Thank you for the link to the google page!

Thanks for the tips. My accounts are already linked and have been. I just don't know how to separate it out. I guess I need to login to google analytics to do that?

You're on the right track, allb83, It's critical to be able to segment your Adwords-generated traffic from the rest of your organic traffic in order to fully understand and adjust the value you're getting from your Adwords spend. To accomplish this, you need to have Adwords automatically tag your ads with tracking parameters, .
By far the easiest way to do this (and to get significant additional advantages) is to link your Adwords account to your Analytics account. This will create the needed tagging automatically, and also provide some additional analytics data back into your Adwords account.
Here's Google's own instructions for how to do this: https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/1704341?hl=en
Once complete (and after waiting about 24 hrs for the new data to propagate) you'll be able to easily segment out your Paid Search data within Analytics. Do note through that this won't be retroactive - it'll only apply to new traffic you receive after the linking process is complete.
Not sure why the other responders are talking about Webmaster Tools as this has nothing to do with what you're trying to accomplish.
Hope that's what you are looking for?

One thing to also remember- Moz displays organic data and not the adwords data in our tools. Since adwords are owned by Google, those metrics will only display in google analytic webmaster tools.

Assuming you have google analytics installed you will want to integrate your webmaster tools to your analytics account. From there it is easy to see the difference. There is a Search Engine Optimization link in analytics that will give you the traffic data for organic searches. The same is true for PPC.

Getting Started: Multiple Campaigns VS Single Campaign
I'm new to Moz and am trying to determine whether to create multiple campaigns broken out into product categories or a single campaign and label keywords by product category. I figure the majority of the folks in the Moz Community are in agency space, so most probably prefer a single campaign per client. We're an in-house marketing team so we have the ability to track up to 10 campaigns but only need to track a single website. I like the idea of having the different campaigns for different product categories, but I don't want to make things overly complex either. Just because you can do something doesn't necessarily mean you should.

Where do I find Search Console metrics?
Much of my reporting process relies on data directly from Search Console. Is MozPro integrated with Search Console? Can metrics such as impressions be built into custom reports? How can I aggregate organic avg time /session duration and bounce rates? I see major inbound link data discrepancies between Search Console and Moz - is this normal? Where can I find indexed page volumes?

Error Selecting Search Engine During Moz Campaign Set-Up
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

Trying to connect Google Analytics account But it's not listed in the drop down box
I'm trying to connect a Google Analytics account but when I go through the drop down box with our list of clients it doesn't show up. It is listed in our agency Analytics account. We have 30+ accounts on GA. Any reason why the account wouldn't make it into the list? Thanks, ~Anjolie

I signed up for a free trial yesterday. Today I wanted to analyze some Twitter accounts and got a message that I had reached my daily quota after only two searches! What's going on?
When I first discovered Followerwonk, I searched 15 accounts before reaching my daily quota. Now that I have signed up for a Pro account, how come I can only search two? How come there's any daily limit at all now?

New to using MOZ. Familiar with Google Analytics. With MOZ is there a code snippet to include on my site?
Just taken over web marketing responsibilities at my company. Will be doing some major website upgrades soon. I'm not familiar with MOZ and don't want to overwrite anything. So when setting up MOZ, is there a code snippet that goes anyplace on the site like there is with Google analytics? Thanks.
