Can Moz tools help me with this effort?
-
I want to brainstorm different keywords, look for high search volumes, and low competition. Then I want to create landing page, rank them using seo techniques, and collect optin email addresses so I can communicate with interested users and build helpful products.
With all the moz tools available to us, how can I accomplish the above mentioned goal?
Have you done some thing similar? What are your experiences? Am I talking pie in the sky? Are there any practical examples where all these steps were executed?
Thanks

Hi! Sorry for the delayed response. I'm sorry you're feeling stuck. We are going to try to build some guides to be emailed to new users to help them get started. Meanwhile, give Moz Academy a try!
Thanks,

Hi Miranda,
I have spent some time reading moz beginner seo guide. I have also read advanced seo guide. I have watched mozinars. I know lot more about SEO than when I joined MOZ. But things are still very blurry. Its still hard for me to take my keywords, run them through keywords tool , site analysis etc. and come up with an action plan. I feel lost. May be a sample detailed case study would help people like me. I am stuck and dont know what to do next with all the information that tools provide. I don't have step by step action plan laid out. Or I don't have any example foot step to follow on what to do so that my site or landing page would rank up. Is there a SEO service out there that would help me see things for very REASONABLE price?
Just very lost and confused.
Thanks

Hi there! I can't tell you how manny links it would take to get the page to rank on page one. It depends on the competitive-ness of the keywords, the quality of the links, and several other factors. Try running that landing page and some of the keywords you're looking at through the Keyword Difficulty tool, then click the keyword and scroll down to see the top ranking pages and the link authority metrics. Then run your landing page through on OSE and click Compare Link Metrics to see where that page currently is. This will give you an idea of how different your page's Page Authority is from the pages ranking for that keyword.
For a general overview of SEO, I'd suggest reading moz beginner seo guide and the advanced seo guide as Vadim recommended. You can also try Moz Academy -- its a series of tutorial videos for Moz Subscribers; they're really good!
Hope that helps!

Hi Miranda, thanks for such a great answer. I will look into all the approaches that you mentioned.
I am interested in AppointmentReminder related keyword and there are already established players. I want to create landing page using http://www.kickofflabs.com/ . How can I start start ranking this landing page? Do I need to get lot of blog articles to start ranking that landing page? How many blog articles or "earned link" would it take for this landing page to get to Page1 ranking?
Thanks again.

Hi there! Here are some suggestions I hope you'll find helpful:
- Keyword Research
- A free tool called UberSuggest might work well for helping you brainstorm some keyword options. We hope to add more keyword brainstorming tools in the future at Moz.
- The Moz Keyword Difficulty tool is good for checking the relative volume and competition of the keywords you've brainstormed.
- Create & Optimize Content
- Create the landing pages to target the keywords you choose, then use On-Page Grader to get a quick list of ways to optimize the page for the keyword(s) you care about.
- If you create a campaign in Moz Analytics for your domain, you can track keywords to see their ranking changes over time. We'll also find the highest ranking pages for all the keywords you track and tell you how to optimize those (similar to On-Page Grader). We also show crawl issues affecting your pages' ability to be found by search engines.
- Outreach - Moz doesn't have any tools specifically for collecting email addresses on your site (anyone have any good tools for this?) but we do have a few tools that might help you with outreach strategies (finding leads, creating relationships, talking to your customers).
- Followerwonk is a tool that lets you search and analyze twitter users and data. One way to use this would be to do a bio search for people interested in your industry / product area. You could then begin creating relationships with them through Twitter or find other ways to reach out to them.
- Fresh Web Explorer lets you see where certain phrases are being mentioned throughout the web. You could use this to search for web conversations about your products, brand, competitor products, industry, etc. You can also set this up in a Moz Analytics campaign for a specified domain so that you can regularly track and review new mentions.
- Open Site Explorer lets you see which links you have to your site / any site you enter. So you could enter related or competitor sites to see which sites link to them, and perhaps they'd be interested in your content as well. Or you might get new content ideas from looking at this.
Hope that helps! Looking forward to seeing what others use as well! : )

I reviewed these resources but still my questions are not answered.

Good question, or questions. As you are asking about keyword research, landing pages, ranking, and conversion/email collection.
For a general overview you might want to read moz beginner seo guide and the advanced seo guide.
Also I do want to address one important part that moz can actually help with, and its not their tools per se, but the landing page that they have created:

Hope this helps

Can you separate keywords in body text?
Keyword example "Best Chocolate Donuts" Could your keywords be written as "If you are always looking for the best quality ingredients, and you are a chocolate lover, you will love our donuts" Does that satisfy the keyword requirement or does it have to be exactly " We have the best chocolate donuts Chicago has to offer"

Moz can't see my link from an external site
Hi, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. I've had a followed link created from http://www.dubaisharks.com/ pointing to my website - http://www.yallarugby.com but in the reports it doesn't show that there is a link coming fro this website. The link has been active for a few months now, but still no record of it. Any ideas?

Losing Rankings & Need Help
Hi Guys, I am not sure if anyone else is suffering from the July 4, 2013 update. I know many of us are awaiting to see what happens once the dust settles. I have a couple of issues/questions/statements below. This is the first time any Google update has every affected me negatively and I'd love some ideas or input. 1. I have ranked quite well for nearly 10 years for all my top keywords. Now, after this update, I am disappearing for my top keywords in the SERPS - definitely getting pushed to page two, etc. Can anyone help me discover the reasons? I have a great SEO expert helping me and I know quite a bit, but this has me baffled. My website is Journey Beyond Travel.com I have read MOZ's ranking factors for 2013 and also the recently published report from SearchMetrics. In the last few days, I've added more quality text to the homepage and shortened my page title on the homepage (although Google has been changing my homepage browser title to put my brand name first in the title - and they haven't for my competitors). Over the past few months, I've really cleaned up my link profile to the best of my ability. I've never really taken part in any negative or black-hat practices. I am trying to get more links that use my 'brand' name rather than exact anchor text. I believe I have a natural profile - any thoughts? 2. One thing I notice is the higher ranking of larger brands now (at least in my field). Just because a domain with higher authority creates one page of content, how can that outrank me? I mean, I've got ten years and 600+ darn good articles of content on my website. How can one domain that is very 'general' (for example, well known in the world of travel and not specialized or niche like mine) outrank me? How can it be that Google allows larger brands to outrank smaller ones just because they have more backlinks and domain authority, but no real content to support these pages? Is content truly king? I am thinking about an article: "Google, Brands, and the Death of Small Business Online." Anyone wish to collaborate here? I am not being hatelful or resentful, but I foresee the day when an 'alternative' search engine emerges, doesn't allow crap ads, allows users more flexibility, and brings search to the next level. Not all of us want the big brands and are searching for alternatives that stand out. I ignore them when I am searching mostly. Any thoughts or elaborations? Thanks!

Tool for tracking actions taken on problem urls
I am looking for tool suggestions that assist in keeping track of problem urls, the actions taken on urls, and help deal with tracking and testing a large number of errors gathered from many sources. So, what I want is to be able to export lists of url's and their problems from my current sets of tools (SEOmoz campaigns, Google WM, Bing WM,.Screaming Frog) and input them into a type of centralized DB that will allow me to see all of the actions that need to be taken on each url while at the same time removing duplicates as each tool finds a significant amount of the same issues. Example Case: SEOmoz and Google identify urls with duplicate title tags (example.com/url1 & example.com/url2) , while Screaming frog sees that example.com/url1 contains a link that is no longer valid (so terminates in a 404). When I import the three reports into the tool I would like to see that example.com/url1 has two issues pending, a duplicated title and a broken link, without duplicating the entry that both SEOmoz and Google found. I would also like to see historical information on the url, so if I have written redirects to it (to fix a previous problem), or if it used to be a broken page (i.e. 4XX or 5XX error) and is now fixed. Finally, I would like to not be bothered with the same issue twice. As Google is incredibly slow with updating their issues summary, I would like to not important duplicate issues (so the tool should recognize that the url is already in the DB and that it has been resolved). Bonus for any tool that uses Google and SEOmoz API to gather this info for me Bonus Bonus for any tool that is smart enough to check and mark as resolved issues as they come in (for instance, if a url has a 403 error it would check on import if it still resolved as a 403. If it did it would add it to the issue queue, if not it would be marked as fixed). Does anything like this exist? how do you deal with tracking and fixing thousands of urls and their problems and the duplicates created from using multiple tools. Thanks!

Can I change the crawl day ?
Hi All I hope there is a simple solution to this - we have a number of campaigns setup which are all crawled, and therefore updated, on different days of the week. We review these weekly and it would be much easier if they were all crawled on the same day. Is it possible to change the crawl day for some campaigns? Thanks Roy

Help with SEOmoz API
Hi guys, I'm trying to make API requests from my webserver via PHP. I'd like to retrieve data from the SEOmoz URL Metrics API. Unfortunately I always get the error response "unauthorized" even when I copy and paste the Sample Valid API Signature generated by your system into the browser. Is Signed Authentication not longer supported? I even tried the sample PHP Code SignedAuth.php but there's the same problem, too. If signed authentication is not longer available, do you have a code example for the basic http authorization? Thanks, Brandon

SEOMOZ tools are not helping!
So, I have a website www.mobikwik.com which provides mobile phone topup in India. I signed up for SEOMOZ Pro membership a little less than a month ago. For all our competitors , which rank above us in google as of today , I checked out two things a) competitive link analysis and b) on-page optimization. On b) , our home page had the best optimization for targeted keywords and the best score amongst all competitors who ranked above us. On a) , linkscape tools showed our moztrust and mozrank to be the best. Except for 2 competitors, our domain authority was also better than the rest. Inspite of all this, our website is ranked no more than 6 on google for all targeted keywords. We have the best quality links amongst our competitors. I am at a loss to understand this and how to improve our ranking. I have to make a decision whether to renew my SEOMOZ membership in 2 days time. Please help me decide!
