What is your process for finding the best keywords for which to optimize and track?
-
(I searched but didn't find anything similar here)
When you start a campaign, what is your method for finding the best keywords to optimize on your site and to track? Please share methodologies and tools on Moz that you use. I of course use Keyword explorer, and choose the higher volume keywords, but I am not sure I am looking in the most effective places. Any discussion on this would be greatly appreciated.

This all depends on what your business wants to sell, to whom & where. As for keyword research, I'd recommend using:
- Keywords Everywhere
- SEM Rush
- Google KW planner/
- Moz
- Ahrefs

One of the coolest tools that I've run across to work in conjunction with MOZ Pro is a free plugin https://keywordseverywhere.com/ . Someone needs to create an API to sync with MOZ.
Here is the direct link:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/keywords-everywhere-keywo/hbapdpeemoojbophdfndmlgdhppljgmpIt is a google chrome plugin that is amazing and very efficient and effective. For every search you do it lists related keywords and the cost / if you were to use add words. You can quickly check to mark the keywords that you want to add to a .csv file and download them in bulk. Then upload to MOZ.
I also use Moz in conjunction with AWR (Advanced Key Word ranking) which is about 99 / month but an incredible tool for SERP tracking. Once you learn it and understand the graphs and have all the keywords input properly. You just have to look at weekly reports. MOZ may do the exact same thing but I have been using this program for soo long that it is hard to switch / re-tool / re-learn, so for me, it is worth the additional 99/mo.
But if you have not downloaded and installed the chrome plugin Key Words Every Where, do it. You may thank me later. It literally takes 5 minutes to install and no configuration. IT IS AMAZING!! Hope this helps!

How do I determine if some of our paid keywords should be changed to organic?

Help with best seo strategy
Hello all, I am a little bit confused about the "content suggestion'' feature in Moz. If I understood well, this feature suggests Anchor texts we can use in other page to link to the page we are trying to Optimize. So far, I've been using page keyword as Anchor Text in other articles. For example, I have a page about the best places to visit in Morocco, where the keyword is 'places to visit in Morocco'. I am using this same keyword as Anchor text in other pages to link to that page. While Moz suggests '10 best places' as Anchor text. What does it mean ? Is '10 best places' anchor text better ? Or should I use both ? Thanks in advance for your enlightenment.

Using api to find likes, tweets and shares
Hi all, I have a question regarding using the API to get data on a list of urls and not one by one. I am not a developer so I might not grasp the API so well. Basically I have a list of urls, what I need from each is the following information: <colgroup><col width="98"><col width="89"><col width="92"><col width="111"><col width="99"><col width="50"><col width="64"></colgroup>

| Page authority | linking root domains | total links | Facebook Shares | Facebook likes | tweets | Google+1's | I found a google doc that gives me SOME of the data but not all (also it might be old as it uses the linkscape call (I dont know if thats changed)) Any idea how I can tune my googledoc spreadsheet to include the additional metrics? Thanks 🙂0 -
Is there a way to pull ALL rankings for a site for a set of keywords?
I'm fairly new to SEOMoz, and am looking for a way to pull all rankings for a site with the keywords I've listed, not just the top ranking. So for instance if my site ranks for the keyword "widget maker in MO" in two spots. The current rank report will only show me the top result. I know I can click on each keyword individually and see a full list of the top 50, but I'm looking for a more automated way of doing this (I'm the only SEO at my agency and time is an issue). I previously used Advanced Web Ranking and the tool would like me pull a CSV of the top 30 sites for each keyword I was tracking and then I could just search for my site and pull those results easier. Anyone know of a shortcut or report I should use? Thanks!

Exporting keywords from PRO?
I would like to export the keywords from all of my campaigns but I can't find anywhere to do that. I don't need data, just the keywords. I want to do an audit and refresh of what I am tracking and excel would be quickest. Thanks!
