I was wondering if SEOmoz has any tools for finding longtail keywords
-
Hi all!
I'm new to the community and to SEOmoz, so there is definitely a chance I am misusing the already available tools. And I was sure to do a search for "longtail tools" before posting this question. But, does SEOmoz have any available tools for researching and suggesting longtail to target? ...similar to what HubSpots tool does
-
I don't know of one here at SEOmoz. I use the Google Adwords tool and WordTracker.

Very nice!

Thank you so much for the detailed and accurate responses. While your answers were very insightful --and really answered some questions I had not even known to ask-- I was really just trying to see if SEOmoz had a tool similar to HubSpot's that does all of that longtail research for you. I'm unsure if anybody is familiar with the tool I am referencing, but put simply, you enter the root and it returns a gambit of longtails that you should be targeting (calculated by volume of search and level of competition).

Here is what I do if I want to pull in traffic for a ton of long tail queries.
I decide upon the root keyword for the article and do research on that keyword to discover the RELATED topics that people are googling.
Let's say that my keyword is widgets and I use the google keyword tool and learn that people are searching for...
different types of widgets
who makes them
what they are made from
what color are they
history of widgets
etc. etc. etc.Then I write an article that addresses everything that everybody everywhere is asking for about widgets IN SUBSTANTIVE CONTENT.
Each of these subtopics for widgets is included on the page as subheadings
or
and described thoroughly with photos, illustrations, tables of data.
That is the start of a potentially killer page.
Google knows what people are asking for and they can recognize when content covers all of those details in a substantive, rich beyond text presentation.
I believe that people who have produced best-on-the web content that is substantive and complete will agree with me.
If you want an example look at a wikipedia page for a topic such as "Philadelphia".
An article like that can pull in fantastic traffic for the topic - even if you don't rank anywhere for "Philadelphia".

I would definitely suggest connecting your google analytics account and that'll give you a lot of keyword info.

Disparity between new and old keyword planner
Hi everyone! While performing keyword research using both Google's old and new Keyword Planner, I've noticed a disparity between the two tools. In many cases, the old tool gives a much larger monthly search volume than the new tool. There are a few cases where both tools provide the same monthly search volume for a term, but those are few and far between. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance!

Targeted keywords for landing pages but keyword has a lot of synonyms, how is the best way to approach this?
I'm trying to target one page for one broad 2 word keyword, however, because our niche revolves around this keyword and it's synonyms, the keyword is used on every other page, thus creating the issue of non-targeted pages taking the rank instead of targeted page. I've thought of using synonyms on each page, so that no one page uses the same keyword, but felt this could be seen as spammy or could just hurt overall relevancy towards the main keyword, thus a loss of rank. I understand page authority also plays a part, but also seems that every page other than the page I want get's targeted.

Finding main keywords associated with a competitors page
A key part of my content creation decision is identifying keywords that have been successful for competitors. Ahrefs has a feature that allows me to see the keywords that have resulted in organic traffic for a particular page. So, for example, I can identify CompanyA as a competitor, find their top pages and, for each one, find the keywords that drove the most traffic to each of those pages. The information reported includes the monthly search volumes associated with each keyword, plus the number of visits driven to the page based on that keyword. That is very interesting to me. I am a long time Moz subscriber and want to find a way to do this here. Is there any way to do this with Moz features? I can't justify both a Moz and AHrefs subscription so I have a tough choice to make if Moz doesnt' support this. I'm hoping I am just missing that here. Thanks. Mark

How do I find traffic for local keywords?
We're having trouble finding reliable traffic numbers for long-tail local keywords (ex. - "computer repair green bay"). We tried using Google Insights but it doesn't display long-tail keyword information, only broad keyword keywords searched for in a certain locale. We also tried using Wordtracker, but that hasn't been too reliable either. Is there a single tool that provides real traffic for local long-tail keywords?

Keyword tool
Does anyone know of any good keyword tools that will help me find and then maintain a list of keywords? I currently use Google adwords and now the keyword tool from Moz but I am looking for something that will help me find and generate keywords not just get statistics about them. Thank you.

Best tool for drawing sitemaps?
Drawing up sitemaps is one of those tasks that seems to take me twice as long to do electronically that it does on paper. Unfortunately, sitemaps scribbled on sheets of A4 paper aren't much good for sending and sharing. So, Mozzers, what tool or software do you recommend for drawing up sitemaps quickly and easily? So far I've tried using Visio, Excel and Word but if there's a dedicated tool out there, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance, Cheers

If I choose: Blue Wide Widgets vs. Wide Blue Widgets vs. Widgets Wide Blue Are these considered 3 different keywords that show up on 3 different SERPs?
