Site for my clients to log in and see their traffic, etc.
-
I have done a ton of research and I am struggling to find an easy to use, easy to understand site / tool that will allow my clients to log in and see basic information about their website traffic, rankings, referring sites, etc. in an ATTRACTIVE, EASY TO UNDERSTAND layout.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Seomoz (my true favorite) Raven, webceo, and so many others are powerful tools - I don't need that, just looking for an attractive place to log in and view their stats, that's it.
Thank you - have a great rest of the week!

I was the one who said to add a custom report, not Karl.
Personally I ONLY use custom reporting instead of the initial "Audience Overview" because I know those reports are inaccurate (it attributes some of our PPC traffic to Organic, etc).
It's up to you, but I'm a bit of a data fan and love customizing my reporting (I have 20 reports for one of our sites that I can quickly page through each day).
I find them particularly useful for segmenting specific pages on your site.
-
Karl, just curious, why would you create a custom report vs. the initial screen that comes up?
So it isn't so overwhelming?
I just spent the last couple hours trying to create an attractive custom report - its not nearly as good looking at the initial screen.
I have done some searching for how to make good looking custom reports and not making much progress.
Thanks for answering guys - this has been very helpful!

Google Analytics is the way to go, but I would create a custom report for them to use - not just a login.
-
I agree with Simon, GA is perfect for showing data. Just create a login for the client on the account so they can see their stats.

This may seem like an obvious answer but what is wrong with using Google Analytics? All info about traffic, referring sites and more in one place. If you want to see info about Ranking why not use a Chrome Extension such as PageRank Status.

Blog Post Relevance vs Traffic
Hello Moz community, I have a website (lets say that I am selling tshirts), and want to create a blog (www.website.com/blog). With that blog, I would like to post about random topics including travel, leisure, events, new products etc. I want to do this for 1. to get affiliate commissions, 2. to increase web traffic, 3. to potentially increase my domain authority. I would like to know if this blog with random posts would negatively affect my website ranking and keyword ranking (for t-shirts), as it is not relevant to the products that I am selling (and the keywords that I am ranking for). As Google currently understands that my website is a webstore selling t-shirts (and I am ranking for the tshirt keywords), but the algorithm get confused if I start posting about travel and random topics? Your help greatly appreciated in the matter.

Site migration 301's list on Apache server - when do I take the old migrated URLs off our 301 list?
Howdy! The site was migrated last year to a new platform, therefore the URLs were migrated over using 301 redirect rules. Since then, the server has a huuuuge list of rules for URLs and I wanted to know when can we start taking these off of the list? And, how can I test to see if they are still indexing, do I simply just add the url to the google search bar? Thanks Guys! Kay

Should I issue a change of address for my demo site which has been indexed?
The web design company tasked with building a company website have a demo site which reflects the live site - as the site is constantly being developed and needs to be tested by numerous uses, removing the demo site is not an option. The demo site is a subdomain of the live site: demo.mysite.com The demo site has been indexed by Google as the web design company didn't add a robots.txt file disallowing all. The demo site was indexed 3 years before I started working at the company. My first action was to add a robots.txt file disallowing all, I then added a noindex and nofollow meta tag into the header of all files on the demo area - this has prevented any new pages from being indexed but the original pages of the site are still in Google index. Do you think I should add the demo subdomain (demo.mysite.com) into Google Webmaster and issue a change of address pointing to the actual website (www.mysite.com) or is this going to cause problems? All thoughts, opinions and recommendations are very much appreciated.

What should I place in the code to connect my html 5 website to Facebook, Google+ etc...?
I know most people use a CMS these days but I created a html 5 website for my small business using Dreamweaver. I'd like to know what, if anything, I should place in the code to link my website with my social media accounts like Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and Pinterest? I've found information about plugins that are useful if you're using a CMS but I'm not. I placed social media buttons on all of the pages of my website already, and when you click on those buttons they go to my social media accounts. But is there anything that should be placed in the code? Thanks for your help

SEO Ads On Third Party Job Sites?
Hello all, I seriously doubt I will get a reply to this as I'm guessing no one has experience with it. if you do though then I would appreciate any information either via comment or PM. Basically, I need to know how I can improve the rankings of job posts within the third party sites. An example would be totaljobs.com, how can I improve the rankings of advertisements that are posted there or is it simply ranked by date and location?. When I had my eBay business, I did a lot of research on eBay SEO and discovered some important factors for ranking within the eBay website. I'm basically wanting to do the same here on job board websites for job ads posted to them. Their algorithms won't be as advanced as Google etc so I'm guessing if they do they will be open for higher keyword density levels and that kind of thing.. I've googled it quite a bit and can't find any information at all on it. Thanks.

Subdomain Structure vs Top Level Domain Site; An Actual Case
A major non-profit with 360 locations just completed a new program. The non-profit has updated its site at URL www.mysite.com. Each of the 360 locations has a subdomain site with URL http://mylocation.mysite.com which reflects the branding of www.mysite.com and has a Drupal content management system. The company is asking each location to transition the top level domain of each location ( example www.mysite.com to http://mylocation.mysite.com). The subdomain location sites are tied to a CRM system, which initially hasn't worked. But the long term objective is to gather CRM data via the subdomain location sites. The main site has an Alexa Global Rank of 30,400 and a US Rank of 7900. The main site has 2600 backlinks, and is a pretty powerful site. Some individual locations in large metropolitan areas have decent backlinks, but most don't. The PR of most local sites is 3 to 6. The SEO experts at www.mysite.com have maintained that the power and authority of the main site www.mysite.com would propel the local rank of each location to a position of high visibility. Using Market Samuari and Majestic SEO, a test on each of the 360 location subdomains was performed. It was determined that Page Rank did pass from the main site to the local site in 15% of the cases. However, 85% of the subdomain sites had 0 Page Rank. Page Rank did vary from 2 to 5 on the 15% that passed rank, but there was no cross checking to see if the subdomain location had the same page rank as the locations top level domain. Referring Domains Domain (RDD) was usually -1; Referring Domains Page (RDP) was usually 0; Page Backlinks (BLP) was usually 0; Back Links to Domain (BLD) was usually 0; Google Cache age was all over the map from unknown to 58 days. Questions: Anyone suspect why some sites pass Page Rank and others don't; Should we continue on the path towards using the subdomain sites, or should each location keep its top level site and work on improving their local search visibility there? There is no way to check Google Analytics (GA) on the subdomain sites without having to access GA on the main site www.mysite.com. Right? Will Google Places and Bing Local honor the subdomain URLs for their respective Local Search pages. Would there be a compelling reason or reasons to abandon the subdomain sites? Thanks much for your comments!!
