Can you track amount of visitors to competitive websites/blogs?
-
We are trying to understand our website traffic, specifically our blog, compared to our competitors. Can we use Moz to understand actual visitor metrics against competitive domains?
-
You are right the numbers are only an estimates but I disagree with you that they are "Worthless", is always good to have an idea of your competitors traffic. You can see what is the potential of market x or y looking by looking at big players estimate traffic.
-
similarweb gets their numbers from Alexa I think, so is spyfu. Compete has estimates based on their actual clients (the ones paying to track their traffic, like Alexa certified metrics), still those are just estimates that won't provide you any "REAL" data as the one Moz gets from Analytics. Worthless and completely manipulated.

Actually there are few "spy" services that can give you your competitors traffic, a few example are:
-
Ok, thanks, thats good to know!
-
Unfortunately no. Moz gets your traffic number because you allowed access to your Analytics. There's no way to know others if you don't have access to their Analytics.
There are sites that provide some open metrics, but almost all are inaccurate: Alexa, Compete, etc unless you installed their tracking code.

How To Stop Moz Crawl From Prepending /blog/ on all our site urls that it crawls
Hello, At some time in the past our WP site had urls like this: www.oursite.com/blog/post-title-pretty-link The site has not used that url structure for quite some time, but Moz crawl is still hitting every post with /blog/prepended and as a result is generating thousands of 404s. When the /blog/ is removed from the url, then the urls work fine. Where are those old urls being stored and how can we update them? How do we address this issue? Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks!

Keyword Explorer how can I uncover all phrases relating to a single keyword?
From what I can see in Keyword Explorer you cannot enter a single keyword and uncover all search phrases that include this word. Or at least when I try to "Display keyword suggestions that" and select "only include keywords that contain all the query terms" and then enter a keyword. I cannot find a phrase in the list even when I can find it via a different search when if I type it directly.
