What are your top use cases for the grader tool?
-
Looking to get some insights on how others use the tool.
-
The grading tool is used as a 10,000 foot view of the page. It analyzes to the webpage to look for the proper usage of exact keyword phrases throughout the webpage. It is not designed to analyze for synonyms or variations of keywords.
If you wanted to score a good grade for the variation you specified, then you would need to through that exact phrase in your Title, etc. Keep in mind, though, the grading tool is not an indication of great SEO, just an indication that you have used keywords in the locations most highly correlated with positive results.

The Moz Grader is grading by exact keyword match only, right now it does not function to grade based upon a phrase match or broad match... that would be a pretty sweet function though : ).
Generally speaking though (with right on-site), if you're optimizing your page well for your main keyword phrase "entertainment public relation firms"... Google is going to rank you for other phrase match terms as well. This of course is dependent upon other on-site factors like, keyword density of the article/website, site architecture, inner-site and off site links, etc.... I would suggest you look a little deeper into your overall site architecture as well so you understand how to organize your site content best for indexing. Here's a great Moz White Board Friday (WBF) on this topic. http://moz.com/blog/whiteboard-friday-flat-site-architecture

Where is the Spam Analysis tool?
Hi, reading the Article Spam Score: Moz's New Metric to Measure Penalization Risk I became curious about the mentioned Spam Analysis tool: Right now, you can find Spam Score inside Open Site Explorer, both in the top metrics (just below domain/page authority) and in its own tab labeled "Spam Analysis." I could find the Spam score of my site within the link explorer but I could not find the Spam Analysis tool that checks the 17 key indications that a site might be a spam site. I am also a Free Trial subscriber right now. Where can I find the Spam Analysis tool?

New to using MOZ. Familiar with Google Analytics. With MOZ is there a code snippet to include on my site?
Just taken over web marketing responsibilities at my company. Will be doing some major website upgrades soon. I'm not familiar with MOZ and don't want to overwrite anything. So when setting up MOZ, is there a code snippet that goes anyplace on the site like there is with Google analytics? Thanks.

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?
