Moz crawl

[WallerD]

Hi,

1. Is there any way to get the moz crawl to analyse any site like the website auditor tool in seo powersuite on command. It would be good to see what keyword my competitors  are using. would also like to analyse my site when i have corrected errors on command.

2. Is google adwords keyword tool still the best keyword research tool? I Don't see anything in the newbie guides to the moz pro tool regarding keyword research.

Thanks!

David.

Hi Chris,

Just read screaming frog is good for 500 urls and then you have to pay, I thought it was too good to be true!

I love Screaming frog its a really handy tool you can also look out in case they left meta keywords in, you can also use tools that pick out keyword density on sites for another indicator.

Thanks Chris!

Just after i wrote  question 1, I thought of using the screaming frog tool, I guess the title of the page is a strong enough indication?

Thanks for the links to the guides, and tools It get's a bit overwhelming sometimes it's hard to know where to start!

Hi David,

There is no direct way to see what competitors keywords are but you can use Moz to help work out some sites etc. they may be using see below for some ideas.

1. Here are some good tools if you're a pro subscriber and if not you can still use OSE.

http://moz.com/labs/link-finder

http://moz.com/labs/link-acquisition

and not forgetting the "link opportunities" tab  of the open site explorer

It's one of the better one's but you can also research keywords in other ways e.g. seeing what "other users" have searched for at the bottom of the page etc. One great thing you can do in Adwords is (which links to point one)  put a competitor's landing page when looking for keyword opportunities There is also a whole blog category if you wanted a look in Moz - http://moz.com/blog/category/keyword-research

Hope that helps a bit, I'm sure some other Moz fans will give some excellent advice too.
