Welcome to the Q&A Forum

To whom it may concern.

A word or two regarding your Google tracking dilemma.

I have noticed that the domain version need to be the same, both in Moz and Google Analytics - IF you want to get most out of Moz and Google Analytics connection.

Especially one of SUPERB function under 'Moz >> Overview >> Manage Keywords >> Find New Keywords'.

Clicking on it after a while will actually automatically pull in the keywords from Google Analytics which people has used to find you but you didn't know!

Cheers!

Hello again,

Actually, MozRank accepts "phrase" KW:s with quotation - but ONLY if they have been entered BEFORE the BROAD version of KW.

When it come to [EXACT] version of KW input, MozRank tool accept them regardless if the BROAD version of KW has been entered before or not.

Thanks.

Well I can't use "" to check [EXACT] match domain.

If using curly quotes that is only for "PHRASE" variant of domain. So I'm a kind of in trouble here...

Hello,

If at http://ranktracker.moz.com trying to track phrase KW - the system wont accept it. But adding [EXACT] match with [] - works well.

Have I missed something?

Cheers.

Hello,

As some of my projects are in competitive niche markets, I often chase exact match KW to handle with.

However, when using 'Moz >> Keyword Difficulty Report' I'm getting SAME Search Volume result - regardless using broad match, phrase or exact match KWs. Have I missed something?

Ranking result's and are however different and seems to correspond to different type of KW search (  which type of KW all its.

Please share some light on this.

Thanks

When looking in OSE and entering non canonical version of domain, it returns error: 'No Data Available for this URL'.

It is only returning results for WWW version. So I'm kind of confused about the 'best' way to go...

Thanks.

Thanks for your answer.

So I will not lose any link gain strength if some links are still pointing to non canonical version of domain (without WWW)?

Hello,

Here I come with one more 'sensitive' question, hoping that you SEO gurus could give some input on.

My title explains pretty much what I'm wondering about, but let me give you some short data.

I have from .htaccess file set that all traffic goes to WWW.mydomain.com. I know that it is 'better' for search engines not to have duplicate destinations as that can give decreased page rank because of 'double content'.  As for search engines  http://domain.com and http://www.domain.com is totally different domains.

Now wondering one thing: If I build a several thousands of backlinks at various sources, blogs, directories, web sites etc etc. - shall I link to domain ROOT or shall I include WWW prefix?

When looking at Moz Keyword Analysis for my domains, I can see a block about 'Linking Root Domains' and  'Page Linking Root Domains'.

But no 'www' variable (sub-domain) there.

As I have already set canonical part so everything shows with WWW on my website - what logic shall I use when building backlinks? How will search engine translate the link juice in regards I wrote above?

Thanks in advance, great forum!

Fantastic real life test and observation. Highly appreciated!
