Is SEOMoz better than Traffic Travis ?
-
I've been trying both programs for the free trial and I'm not sure which one is exactly better.
they seem to me that both give a similar asepct of research, However SEOMOZ seems to be updating more frequntly. On the seconnd hand, traffic travis is way more cheaper only $97 one time fee as apposed to SEOMoz $100 per month
Could someone convince me SEOMOZ is the better tool?

Its a travesty to compare moz with small software like Travis .
Moz has
- Backlink checker with world known metrics PA(Page Authority) ,DA (Domain authority).
- Web based power which is highly greater than the software one.
- Rank checker and so many tools that Travis cannot even imagine.
Now let's see what traffic Travis can work for
- one-time payment and few number of tools.
- Way way cheaper then monthly subscription and not even $ 97 as you said but it's available for around $ 37 on some coupon sites like http://www.discountmycart.com/
so it is quite funny to compare both!

Thanks for the reply. I would have to agree that the caliber of the data from SEOmoz seems to be much more credible to other platforms, such as Traffic Travis. Really the only point I'm caught up on is the Keyword Difficulty rating as its the only major point of discrepancy. For the time being I will leave my trust with SEOmoz, but it would be interesting to know why the two tools are so disparet when it comes to rating keyword difficulty.
Agreed on all points regarding the quality of both SEOmoz tools and its awesome community. Thanks again for taking time to respond.

I can't speak much about the qualities of Traffic Travis, in part because I know of no serious SEO that uses it. This isn't a judgement of the software, but has more to do with experience level. SEOmoz is geared for intermediate and advanced SEOs (and beginners who are willing to learn - all the resources are here) Whereas as Traffic Travis seems more aimed at the beginner SEO or those not able to invest as much time and/or resources into the process. (Just guessing here)
The last thing I want to do is "sell" SEOmoz or disparage a competitor, but there are a lot of things that SEOmoz offers that I don't think can be matched by a one-time desktop software purchase. These include:
- SEOmoz Metrics - Gold Standard here. Moz metrics are used (and resold) by more companies than any other SEO metrics on the market. And metrics like Domain Authority are correlated with rankings closer to anything else. An SEOmoz membership gives you full access to Open Site Explorer and complete backlink analysis - the same data that other companies buy direct from SEOmoz.
- Weekly crawls and reporting by rogerbot - the SEOmoz crawler. This is one of the most complete and easy to use SEO site audits around.
- Learning resources. This includes monthly webinars, full access to the PRO Q&A and more.
- Special resources like full access to the PRO only Directory List
- A full suite of SEO tools, including complete access to the MozBar.
- And a kick-ass community.
Over 50% of SEOmoz members stay 18 months or longer, and many have stayed for years.
At the end of the day, I always encourage folks to try the Free Trial (now it sounds like I'm selling, damnit). But it's a no-risk affair and you'll probably learn more in one week than you have in the past few months.

good morning! My team uses both seomoz and Traffic Travis. We are having a similar issue of trying to figure out which one is best for what task. The main issue seems to be consistency. When we run the same keyword through traffic travis and seomoz., TT says the keyword is easy and seomoz tells us its difficult. This leaves us scratching our heads a bit. Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and good luck.

Traffic Travis?!.... More like Traffic Travesty!
Joking aside, nothing in my opinion comes close to what SEOMoz offer; the tools, linkscape/open site explorer use and knowledge available from the team and forum is light years ahead of what you can get elsewhere (plus the community is nice).
SEOMoz are at the forefront of new tools and ways of doing SEO, and this coupled with the tool-set and knowledge base is what you're paying your $99 a month for. Traffic Travis only seems to offer a more limited tool set without any automation features.
SEOMoz all the way!

Help to Increase Traffic for On-line Pet Store
Hi Guys, Recently opened a Pet Supply Business www.valuepetsupplies.co.uk and we have launched our web site just last week. We currently have around 1800 products but have literally 1,000'a more to be added but as with everything in life it all takes time and effort. We have the shop sitting on the Presta-Shop e-commerce platform and it is connected with FB (1350fans), Twiter, Pinterest and a blog. Currently we have circa 600 visitors each month but we obviously need far more than that to compete in this marketplace. I am going to try and use some of the tools on this site to see what insights I can ascertain. So I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of what do get done next, I have some ideas but I thought I would put this on the table to see what some of the real pro's suggestions would be. Criticism also is welcomed. Thanks for looking guys could do with all the help I can get right now. SnoopD

What value am I getting from SEOmoz?
Okay, I've been using the trial version of SEOmoz for almost a week, but, I'm just not sure what to do with it to be honest. I'm not an SEO expert, so, a lot of the terminology and reports are confusing. So far the only thing I've found useful are the domain and page duplication errors, but, I can get the same info from Google Webmaster Tools. Am I missing something? We have a very simple site for a small business, not sure I can justify $99 per month for a service I don't really understand. Is this service more for SEO professionals than business owners? -Tom

Is the SEOMoz Rank Tracker still accurate?
I monitor several keywords on several domains and i have found that rank tracker gives me one result yet when searching via Google myself (on different machines) i get a different result. I've tried several devices on different networks so there is no chance that Google is remembering my searches as such and i ensure that i am always signed out of my account. All devices provide the same results yet Rank Tracker provides a completely different result. It's as though Rank Tracker is a day ahead or something. Can anyone shed any light for me please?

SEOmoz crawl error questions
I just got my first seomoz crawl report and was shocked at all the errors it generated. I looked into it and saw 7200 crawl errors. Most of them are duplicate page titles and duplicate page content. I clicked into the report and found that 97% of the errors were going off of one page It has ttp://legendzelda.net/forums/index.php/members/page__sort_key__joined__sort_order__asc__max_results__20 http://legendzelda.net/forums/index.php/members/page__sort_key__joined__sort_order__asc__max_results__20__quickjump__A__name_box__begins__name__A__quickjump__E etc Has 20 pages of slight variations of this link. It is all my members list or a search of my members list so it is not really duplicate content or anything. How can I get these errors to go away and make search my site is not taking a hit? The forum software I use is IPB.

SEOmoz vs Google Webmaster Tools on incoming links
I'm working on basic SEO for http://queueassoc.com. Google has indexed the non-www verions of the pages and these are what the SERPS return SEOmoz toolbar shows that all of the incoming links juice goes to the www. versions of the pages, none to the non-www version. Yesterday I set up GWMT for the site, submitted a sitemap with the www version of the pages and set the default address to the www version. I had to verify both versions of the site in order to do this and in looking at the non-www version I saw that Google had all the incoming links there and none in the www.version, the opposite of what SEOmoz shows. Is this just because Google only has the non-www versions in its index? Will they show the links to the www version once they get them in the index? I'm worried about losing Google Page Rank value or SEOmoz DA by making this switch.

Canonical tags and SEOmoz crawls
Hi there. Recently, we've made some changes to http://www.gear-zone.co.uk/ to implement canonical tags to some dynamically generated pages to stop duplicate content issues. Previously, these were blocked with robots.txt. In Webmaster Tools, everything looks great - pages crawled has shot up, and overall traffic and sales has seen a positive increase. However the SEOmoz crawl report is now showing a huge increase in duplicate content issues. What I'd like to know is whether SEOmoz registers a canonical tag as preventing a piece of duplicate content, or just adds to it the notices report. That is, if I have 10 pages of duplicate content all with correct canonical tags, will I still see 10 errors in the crawl, but also 10 notices showing a canonical has been found? Or, should it be 0 duplicate content errors, but 10 notices of canonicals? I know it's a small point, but it could potentially have a big difference. Thanks!

SEOMoz Campaign Tool
I've noticed that when looking at the SEOmoz tool, specifically the On Page analysis tool, it is still looking at an old url. About two months ago I made updates to all of our category page URLs. Previously the old urls were stuffed with keywords, strange characters and were really long. When looking at the on-page tool though it is referencing the old urls for keywords and I'm wondering why? I figure its been long enough to recognize the new urls. Is the paring of a keyword and a url saved and just graded on a weekly basis to produce the report? I had expected to see the new url's by now which are also represented in the sitemap. Around that same time I also added our TellAFriend Page and Review pages to our Robots.txt file as not to be crawled but I still see these pages come up in the errors report. Should this update as well?
