Hi

Google for privacy reasons have stopped passing the keyword for organic search. There are some ways around this and MOZ have done a White board Friday on it: http://moz.com/blog/100-percent-keyword-not-provided-whiteboard-tuesday

If you have Google Webmaster tools you can see the clicks and impressions for keywords in that. You can also use landing pages report in Google Analytics (with an organic search segment) to give a clue to the keywords used.

Hope that helps and let me know if you need more?

Error in Moz duplicate content reports

Hi - I've run the Moz campaign on a client's site. Moz is saying that there are duplicate content errors, and when I look at the errors it is showing that they are all to do with the non-www URLs having being duplicated in the www form of the URLs. However this is not the case - all the non-www URLs are all 301 redirected to the www URLs. Is this an error in the Moz tool? Has anybody experienced something similar?

Sub-accounts on Moz

Can you create sub-user accounts on Moz?... Ones which provide limited access to certain users like use of the tools or access to view rankings in a campaign without being able to edit anything??

Google Analytic Caching Issue?

Two weeks ago, I started testing a campaign and linked it to my Google analytics account. At the time there were 4 domains linked to the GA account. And I could see all 4 domains at the drop down menu that asked me to choose one to connect to. One week ago, I added a 5 more domains to GA. When I log directly into GA, I see the total of all 9 domains, and all are verified and collecting data. Today at pro seomoz I started a new campaign, for one of the new domains recently added to GA. When I try to connect the campaign to GA, only the ORIGINAL 4 domains are visible on the drop down menu. None of the 5 new domains are visible. So I am unable to connect to the new domain. At campaign settings, I disconnected from GA, and connected again, but could not see the new domains on the drop down menu. I tried to use both FF and IE. I can only assume that this is a caching issue at pro.seomoz. If so, how to flush cache and get current again. Please advise

Number of available links limited?

OK, I've been making use of the free LinkScape API (on behalf of a client of mine) and trying to get links (and info on those links) to a specific domain/page/etc. NOTE : I've been using it without any issue in the past, however we are currently facing some weird issues. Let's take this simple query as an example : http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/links/wikipedia.org?SourceCols=4&TargetCols=4&Sort=page_authority&Scope=page_to_domain What this one supposedly does is to get links to "wikipedia.org", right? I'm reading : The Page_to_* scopes will by default return 25 links per source domain if no limit is specified, so you can see domain diversity. Due to space limitations in our API, a general link query for a given page will return at most 25 pages for every unique domain linking to that page. And I'm saying OK, that's fine. The thing is that (instead of the 1000 links I had been getting before), I'm now getting just 25 links. NOT per... "source domain"... but obviously per "target domain" (= wikipedia.org) - or am I missing something? (well, probably wikipedia suddenly has just about 25 links pointed to it... makes sense! 🙂 ) Please, let me know what's going on with the above, simply because getting just 25 links is close to worthless... Thanks a lot, in advance!

Has MozTrust predicted fall in Google rankings???

The definition of MozTrust is:
"MozTrust is SEOmoz's global link trust score. It is similar to MozRank but rather than measuring link popularity, it measures link trust. Receiving links from sources which have inherent trust, such as the homepages of major university websites or certain governmental web pages, is a strong trust endorsement." That being the case it is quite disturbing that a number of websites have been hit very badly by the latest Google algorithm changes that did indeed have very respectable MozTrust rankings. Can I ask whether anybody has carried out any sort of analysis of MozTrust versus negative impact in Google rankings? The prediction would of course be that websites suffering from a lower MozTrust would have been hit quite badly by these recent changes.

Did Google Stop Providing Pageranks

My google pagerank has been missing from my SEOMoz toolbar for a while and I can't seem to find the number elsewhere. Did google stop offering this? I'm having trouble finding any blogposts or info about it one way or the other. Thanks!

Ultimate Ranking Tool integrating Analytics / Adwords / Google WM Tools

I currently use SEOMOZ Campaigns and Advanced Web Ranking for monitoring our KW rankings and those of competition. AWR is a brilliant tool with so many different reports, methods of viewing etc. SEOMOZ campaigns are good but don't come close to the monitoring power of AWR (EG I monitor over 50 competitors on over 1000 KW's on a Daily basis with AWR and recieve a variety of set emailed reports on the data). However, one thing that SEOMOZ campaigns have that is useful is the traffic data - but this is still a bit basic and I think could be improved. The problem with AWR is that it doesn't integrate with your Analytics / Adwords / Google WM Tools - so it is only showing you half the picture. Knowing how your site ranks for each keyword is helpful, but it would be nice to understand the value of each keyword. For example, being able to see your rank position and how much traffic that keyword has sent you over time would be helpful. It would also be nice to see the number of searches that are performed for that keyword each month . For example, lets say I saw that I was ranking at number 11 for “hover mower” and getting 500 hits per month. Two months from now, if I was ranking at position 7, it would be nice to be able to immediately see how that changed the amount of traffic I was receiving for the term. Is a position of 11 (first item on page two) better than position 10 (last item on page one)? If you can link it to your analytics, you could then link it to your goals, and goal values to get a complete picture of where your keywords rank the value of the rank, and the improvment on that value when rank changes. If browsed around for such software but can't find anything like this - does anyone know of any software that can do this - or something close to this? Many thanks

Why does open site explorer show me Chinese characters?

Hi there, When using open site explorer to check the anchor text for www.bookvictoriafalls.com I see Chinese characters as anchor text. However, when I do the same for www.bookvictoriafalls.com/ I see normal English anchor text. Coincidentally this domain has dropped from first page rankings to outside the top 50. Is this a spam issue? Open-Site-Explorer.png
