Can you track amount of visitors to competitive websites/blogs?
-
We are trying to understand our website traffic, specifically our blog, compared to our competitors. Can we use Moz to understand actual visitor metrics against competitive domains?
-
You are right the numbers are only an estimates but I disagree with you that they are "Worthless", is always good to have an idea of your competitors traffic. You can see what is the potential of market x or y looking by looking at big players estimate traffic.

similarweb gets their numbers from Alexa I think, so is spyfu. Compete has estimates based on their actual clients (the ones paying to track their traffic, like Alexa certified metrics), still those are just estimates that won't provide you any "REAL" data as the one Moz gets from Analytics. Worthless and completely manipulated.

Actually there are few "spy" services that can give you your competitors traffic, a few example are:
-
Ok, thanks, thats good to know!
-
Unfortunately no. Moz gets your traffic number because you allowed access to your Analytics. There's no way to know others if you don't have access to their Analytics.
There are sites that provide some open metrics, but almost all are inaccurate: Alexa, Compete, etc unless you installed their tracking code.

National or local tracking of keywords
I manage an account with +20 locations and have used the default National tracking on keywords, but realized that we might see higher rankings if I choose local tracking. If any of you have any experience in this, please tell the world!

How can I find the old ERRORS and WARNINGS report in the NEW Moz design?
I'm looking for a complete list of errors and bugs that need to be fixed within a website. I used to use the MAIN tool (at least it seemed it was the most popular) but now that its just MOZ.com I can't seem to find that great report. It had data such as: 1. List of pages with Title Tags too long 2. List of pages with Description Tags too long 3. List of RED errors and YELLOW warnings, BLUE somethings... etc... Ring a bell? I LOVED this report, where can I find this data? Thanks! Derek

New website launched 3 weeks ago but not sure what Moz Analysis is telling me?
Hi 3 weeks ago I re-branded and completely changed the proposition on www.over50choices.co.uk as the URL is appropriate to the proposition. And whilst it looks good I am unsure what the Moz Tools are telling me, other than it doesnt look good? There should be about 163 pages, but Moz reports over 500 due to i think so many 301's? Plus most pages under the HTTP Status reports No Data! Most of the the 404's are from the old site. Webmaster Tools say 163 pages submitted but only 2 indexed, but on site:search it says about 117 but 40+ of these are the old site. It looks a mess...! Sleepless nights have started - any thoughts!? Thanks Ash
