How to track keyword performance over time?
-
The SEOMoz keyword reports show week-to-week changed in keyword positions, but what report can I run to see trends over time so that I can evaluate the effectiveness of our SEO efforts?
-
You can run a graphical report showing your Ranking History for each keyword targeted since you started your campaign.
To do this log into your campaign. Click View This Campaign/All Keyword Rankings.
On your Rankings Report click on the ranking you want to see charted. For instance, if you rank #1 on Google for a keyword this week, you can click on that ranking and a graphical report showing your Ranking History for that keyword since you started your campaign for that word will appear.

I too wish there was something like this. I download the rankings to the .csv file and then import into my master file with all my keywords. Takes a few minutes but worth it --- I can see my trends based on my SEO work.
-
You can also use the free program cuterank. It works okay and if you buy it you may produce the reports as wel.

Ah I understand now. SEOmoz does not have anything like this in their arsenal. There are a number of tools that you can use to do this, the two i'm familiar with :
Of the two I found Raven Tools much better but Authority has some features Raven does not so it is a matter of preference. Best of luck!

Clarification: The SEOmoz Campaign Manager shows me how all of my keywords did compared to last week. Does SEOmoz keep a history of keyword positions over time so that I can see trends?
-
Could you provide some clarification on your question? In my mind tracking the positions of multiple keywords over time is the best way to evaluate the effectiveness of your SEO efforts, along with :
-
of Visitors (Broken down into Traffic Sources)
-
of Conversions (Try to assign a dollar amount for this)
- Statistics on the amount of Indexed data
Follow this up with :
- A snapshot of this same data from last month (or last quarter, or last week) to highlight what you've done for the website with a particular emphasis on ROI.
- A plan for what you are doing next month (or next quarter, or next week)
Obviously if the client wants to get further into specifics you should be knowledgeable and prepared to do this.
Sam Crocker wrote a great YouMoz post on this just last week, it's a great read : Improving Reporting Efficiency and Relevance

I have a new website and would like to use the keywords my competitors are using and was wondering the best way to take a look using Moz Pro?
The website is www.fapwrap.com - it's a new adult wall decals website. [editor's note: may not be safe for some workplaces] The wall decals we have are obviously a bit more niche than the bigger competitors, but I want to get into the first page to see how it helps us. I'm slowly taking over some kws like "xbox wraps" and "ps4 wraps" but those have low search volume and I feel like "wall decals" will help - though it's highly competitive. Suggestions? I just kinda want to plug in my competition and pick from their list of existing kws..... Ha.

I'm shocked! KEYWORD SERPs: GA avg. position vs. SEOmoz
SEOmoz has us our position for a particular keyword as "Not in Top 50". The same keyword is listed in GA with an average position of. 3.0. What am I missing here? When I do a search, I most definitely am not seeing us listed as #3 for this keyword, and tend to believe the SEOmoz number, but why is it so wildly different in GA? Should I have hope? There is another keyword that SEOmoz has us at #4 and it isn't even on the GA list. Can anyone explain this to me? Many thanks.
