Is Google Analytics Connection with Moz broken?
-
Hi,
I keep on getting this error on my moz campaigns "Our connection to your Google Analytics account was lost. Don't worry, you won't lose any data. Please reauthorize now."
Everyday i click the reauthorize now and make sure everything is sync properly, but I keep on getting the same error everyday, is there something wrong with GA connection with Moz?
I really need urgent help with this problem as I have more than 15 campaigns on moz and this tool is very important for my reporting. Thanks

"The problem is...all the GA account options to select from are outdated, thus not allowing me to select the correct (& most up-to-date) GA account & UA code associated with that account."
I have the exact same problem!!!

I'm having this same problem, but I have an additional issue as well.
After I've disconnected the broken Google Analytics account (& UA code)...I go back to the drop-down menu of Google Analytics accounts to reconnect. The problem is...all the GA account options to select from are outdated, thus not allowing me to select the correct (& most up-to-date) GA account & UA code associated with that account.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Sorry for the trouble James!
Rickus, you are correct.
One way to alleviate that is to disconnect and reconnect the connection:
- Head to your campaign settings by clicking the button on the right-hand side of your campaign: http://screencast.com/t/V01YCyARn
-Click the pencil icon next to the Google Analytics section of the settings page: http://screencast.com/t/TYMEMb4UI - Disconnect your Google Analytics connection: http://screencast.com/t/psmFgYkOm74R
- Go back to your settings page and click on "connect account." Please make sure you are logged into the GA account that has admin access to the GA profile for the site you are tracking for this campaign.
- Hurray! This should let you grab the most current traffic data!
If this does not work, we will have to try a few more option. Email [email protected] in this case if the above fix does not work.
- Head to your campaign settings by clicking the button on the right-hand side of your campaign: http://screencast.com/t/V01YCyARn

Yes, I have been having the same problem.
[There was another discussion about this recently: http://moz.com/community/q/analytics-account-will-not-stayed-connected-listed-fixes-do-not-work ]
The reply I got from Moz said in part: "We are trying to improve our relationship with Google so this connection can become less finicky." So it does sound like there is an issue there.

Hi There,
I have had the same problem and what worked every time was to disconnect my GA account and then reconnect. This is not an immediate fix but will sort it out.
Hope this helps

Moz tells me there's an issue with the GA connection on one of my campaigns, so you're not alone.

On Page Optimization and Page Grader in Moz Needs Some Fixes
Okay, so I've brought this up a couple times to your team and have always been met with resistance and confusion, but I really feel like the fundamental design of your on page grader (the auto one) needs some changes in order to be really useful. Let's start with the basics. An on page grader is supposed to be a tool where you can enter your keyword or keywords and have it scan the URL to see how well the keyword has been implemented on the page. It checks for heading use, anchor text, alt tags, frequency of use, etc. We all should get this if we are here. Now, your manual page grader does just that and does a great job of it. I find it very useful for checking newly created pages, landing pages, competitor pages and the like. However, your auto version found in the Search > On-Page Optimizations is the culprit here. So, according to several staff at Moz, this tool scans your site every week when the rest of your site scan is done. It then takes the rankings of pages for ranked and tracked keywords and assigns a grade for that page. Here's the major problem.... in almost all of my accounts, it very rarely gets the association with keyword and URL correct. Thus, it returns a low page grade even though the grade of the URL would be an A or B for the correct keyword. What seems to be happening is I'm tracking multiple keywords, sometime close variations. This grade tool in a lot of cases is grading a page more than once for several keywords it's ranking for. All the variants it gets a low grade for because the exact keywords isn't in the title, headings, etc. The second thing that seems to be happening is some pages are not being graded using the primary keyword, but instead a variation. In this case it only shows low grades for the page. On one occurrence of trying to discuss this issue with you, I got scoffed at for saying the tool was "guessing at which keyword to use for the grade". Your staff was very adamant in saying "it's not a guess!" My counter point was, call it what you want, it's in accurate to the intended keyword to be optimized for. Now, when one first gets to this tool, all of the above doesn't seem like that big of a deal because there's an "add & manage page grade" section. This section allows you to add and manage page grades. So, one would think that you could go to this tool, add an page grades for keywords that the tool didn't automatically associate and delete ones that it added with an incorrect association and that would be the end of it. However, that's NOT quite the end of it. At your own admission, the tool doesn't function like that. Each week when a new scan is completed, these pages grades essentially reset. So any page grade that you deleted will simply show right back up again. Now, before I go any further, let me explain why this is such an issue for me. First, on page optimization is something my company does and sells as a service and we are pretty good at it. Not saying we're the best, but we're better than most. That said, one of my reasons for choosing Moz was because according to the verbiage on the pages, one can create branded reports to include on page optimization. However, when the tool doesn't get the right keyword to landing page AND there's no way to manually override it, then basically all of my reports make it look like my pages grades suck, when in face they don't. Now, if in my campaigns I only added the exact keyword for each page and didn't do any variations of, then this tools becomes much more accurate. However, I want to track multiple variations. Bottom line is this: I need a page grading and reporting tool I can count on and actually use. Thus far, you solution is riddled with problems and every time I bring it up, you fight me on it saying it's working as it's supposed to. What I'm saying here is "as it's supposed to" is fundamentally wrong. I'd like to discuss this with someone at this point, and preferably someone a bit higher up than a first tier support person because frankly, I'm not getting anywhere. Overall I love your service, but it's things like this that have me questioning wether or not Moz is right. I'm giving you opportunity after opportunity to prove to me that it is. Help me work this out so we can continue that trend. Thanks, Micha

Creating Multiple Moz Accounts
Hi there, due to my work - and for customer service - I need to be able to set up multiple Moz accounts for each client, providing their own contact/CC info. Can you tell me if Moz allows this (I keep getting the message that I'm registered and can upgrade), or do I have to login from a different computer each time? Ultimately, the client will be administering their own account, but I want to set them up to get them started. Thanks, Alison [email protected]
