Moz keywords tool obsolete?
-
It looks like Google is going to encrypt all user searches, rendering entire sections of SEO tools useless like portions of Moz. What's Moz's reaction to something like this?
-
Did I misread the article?
How will this affect Google's keyword planner data?
We appear to be picking up momentum in the direction of pay-to-play.

You will still be able to get search query information through Google Webmaster Tools, and you can link that to both Google Analytics and AdWords to see reports for organic query matches in either of those platforms. I have found the Webmaster Tools query reports to be less accurate than the Google Analytics search term report, but if the Analytics report is only going to display "not provided", the Webmaster Tools query report is a working, albeit slightly inferior, alternative.

I think that although this is a 'big deal' it's not as terrible as it sounds. Of course it is harder to show how your work has had a direct impact through precise keywords but there's so much more that can be measured other than just keywords. If this industry can adapt and continue after major updates such as Penguin I'm pretty sure this won't cause a collapse, some tools will become less important/ useable but there will soon be others along to replace them I'm sure.

I wouldn't overly worry yet. The SEO industry and various tools will adapt, like they have adapted to everything else.
I believe I read somewhere that data (or at least some of it) is still available to adwords customers, and of course there is data from bing etc.
There is bound to be a bit of a reaction now, but as people adapt it will soon be business as usual.

Editing Keywords in Moz Keyword Tracking Under Campaigns
Hi all, Some questions for Moz Pro Campaigns Setup Q1
Moz Bar | | SP1
As part of Moz Pro, we've created a campaign to track a set number of keywords and it seems that 2-3 of the keywords have been entered as a misspelling so I wanted to know how I can edit them to be corrected? Under "Add & Manage Keyword" I do see the keywords however do I need to click on "Show More" in order to scroll over to the keywords I need to edit / correct? Q2Eager to know if duplicated keywords are omitted when they are entered into the campaign. So if someone had entered in "abc123" twice in the list of 600 keywords will the 2nd instance of abc123 be removed when the keyword list is submitted into Moz? Cheers,

Understanding Keyword Explorer SERP Analysis
Hi Guys Based on the attached SERP analysis provided by Keyword Explorer, the term 'silver jewelry' appears to have a lot of potential; it has good search volume, high opportunity and potential scores; however when you look at the metrics associated with the top 3 competing sites, and the fact page 1 is dominated by major brands with equally good metrics, then a difficulty score of 26, meaning easy; seems a bit unrealistic. I would like to hear what others have to say, or am I missing something here. Regards Peter H96KVmH

Time out writing responses to Moz Q&A
This is driving me crazy and making me wish to destroy everything I can reach with my hands. I like to write long curated answers to people questions on here. And evidently there's some sort of timeouts in Moz Q&A software. Because every time I answer to someone I get this fu#@!ng error message... http://imgur.com/ypVQ2hD So I go back, I lost everything and either give up or write one sentence. ypVQ2hD

How do I go about fixing my High Priority issues that SEO moz says I have on a PHP site?
I am been trying to deal with this problem for some time now. I have talked to several IT people and SEO moz. None seem to know how to fix these issues on the type of site our company is. Our biggest issue with is Duplicate Page Content. We also have some title issues. Our site is built with PHP coding and variable, meaning the site is not a typical static website. We have a handful of pages that are dynamic depending on what the users chooses to see and do. So, my problem is I can't just go to a specific page and put the canonical or the redirect. It isn't multiple pages for our category pages, for example, it is just one that builds the page depending on the search. Please help!
