Verified News Sources: A New Feature in Fresh Web Explorer Launched Today!
-
Hey gang - I wanted to mention a small update we've made to Fresh Web Explorer (I was the architect on this one). It enables you to filter your searches and/or your Alerts to show only those sources/domains we've observed in Google News. E.g. here's a search for GigaOm with news filtering on (180 results in the last 7 days) vs. the same search with news filtering off (1,811 results).
It's mostly useful for folks who are getting overwhelmed by the quantity of mentions they see in FWE and Alerts (I was experiencing that myself with mentions for my name and Moz) and just want to filter to the most important/noteworthy stuff. It's not perfect - Google News does have some weird domains that show in there occasionally - but it's definitely a much better filter if you have a bigger brand or term/phrase you're watching.
Any questions or feedback, please let us know!

Hi Rand,
This is a fantastic upgrade. It was difficult to filter through key phrases that were popular without getting overwhelmed. This will help us polarize in on the stuff that counts.
Thanks another great improvement to Moz.
Great job
Tom
PS See you at SearchLove Boston!

Hi Don - probably not, at least not in the near future. Curious about how you might use that data if it were offered separately? Is segmenting Google News sources vs. Yahoo! News sources when looking at fresh links/mentions valuable?
Note: For NPR or CNN or any individual domain, you can already do that! Just use the site: operator, e.g. startups site:npr.org

Are more outlets (filters) coming?
Yahoo News / NPR / CNN / etc......

This is cool! Nice job, Rand and team.
-
Also useful from working on the other side of trying to make traction within larger / verified news sources. Great work!

Problem with Keyword Explorer?
Is anyone else having an issue Keyword Explorer? I'm added keywords to lists but there are a couple of problems: The metrics are taking a long time to come through. I.e: at least 10-15 minutes When I try to export my keyword list a completely different keyword export appears When I try to refresh the explorer, my keywords are removed from the list and replaced some keywords/phrases that are completely unrelated Any insight would be appreciated 🙂

After adding a new page to optimization section it shows up as dashes
After adding a page to the optimization section, it doesn't put the score, title, or ranking on. It shows up as dashes After adding a new page to the optimization section it shows me my score. I go back to the home page of the optimization section to see it's ranking and all the details are dashes. Like the moz score, the ranking, and the title. It has only been happening recently. What am I doing wrong?

I notice there is a new section to the top left of the search page referring to videos. What's this? Is it to research our own video performance? If so, how do I use it?
