Hello,
I'm so new in Moz and SEO world and i just started my website, a WordPress blog, I'm in a content creation period and i want to make it right from the beginning but I'm confused about how to use Moz tools in this period because i don't have content or traffic so no analytic as i think, so
What is the best use of Moz tools in this period?
About keyword difficulty tool i think this is the most tool i will use in the beginning, how i choose which keywords to use from my keywords list, in this time I'm depending on the on page SEO only, no backlinks no social engagements, which keywords to use to appear fast in search engines for a startup? less than "% difficulty " or between, I"m new in this word Please Moz and SEO experts give me a hand here.
Note: I'm using Medium Moz pro plan.

Hey buddy...
The best use of Moz tools in this time period, for you, will probably just be the information resources. Just being honest with you--without an understanding of how SEO works or what to look for--the research tools won't be of much help. It's kind of like getting a giant set of mechanics tools without knowing anything about cars. You'll be able to dink around with the wrenches, but more likely than not, you'll just be wasting your time.
My suggestion to you is to research SEO. Learn about on-page optimization. Get a better understanding of keywords, how to use them, search volumes, competition, etc. Focus on creating quality content and then optimize those pages. Once you have a grasp on that, plug in your website and run the on-page grader. Give it some time... Submit a sitemap... Let Google index your site and then review everything you've done. Once you've got a solid foundation double back and start working on links.
This isn't something you just pick up. If you really want to build successful websites you're going to have to do a lot of research/trial and error/dedicate time. Good luck!

Hi Eslam. You're on track with considering keyword difficulty in the early stages. You might also want to take a look at the Fresh Web Explorer and see how popular your considered blog topics are. That will give you some better ideas on social engagement. What topics are coming up quite a bit or generating a lot of conversation. Follwerwonk can give you similar insights into Twitter.
To get a better idea on the difficulty around the percentages in the keyword tool, put the pages that rank for your given term into Open Site Explorer and see how many links those pages have, what kind of domains they're on, the strength of those domains and so on. You'll be able to begin to get an idea around difficulty in that way.
This post: http://moz.com/blog/the-right-keyword-data-for-the-right-job has nice insights into keyword research as does Cyrus' recent Mozinar: http://moz.com/webinars/seo-basics-the-fundamental-signals-used-to-rank-our-content-higher. Cheers!

Moz only crawling one page of a campaign, please help
Today I set up a new campaign for a client, however the crawl has only found the home page and is saying that the URL is unavailable. The site is definitely live and the URL is correct. I have set up the campaign 3 times one with the full address (http://www.) one with www. and with just the domain name. All three of these have come page with one page crawled and "unavailable" above the URL. It is picking up the crawl issues on the page and showing domain authority but I don't know why it's not crawling other pages. Prior to setting up the campaign I did a site crawl and Moz found everything then, so I don't know why it isn't now. Please help. Thanks

Correct Moz Settings for Tracked Keywords Summary
Hi,For some reason, on my tracked keywords summary page, the URL shown to the right of each keyword appears to default to my homepage and not the page I want that keyword to rank on. How do I resolve this? I've tried looking around but can't see how to change it so that the correct URL is shown against the correct keyword. Many thanks! Bob

New to MOZ and working with Web Mentions. Can I use operators?
Our name is HostDime but often put as Host Dime (2 words) by news sources and other sites. How do I set up my brand mention so I only get a notice when both words appear, in order, together. I don't want "That host is a dime" and such. Can I use a +Host +Dime?"Host Dime"? Do these operators work in MOZ?
