What is mT/mR good for In the keyword tool difficulty full report results?
-
So the ratio is MozTrust to MozRank, but what is this good for? What can I deduce from this and what can I use it for?
-
Here is my best guess about what this metric is aiming for: How does the quality vs. quantity of the links to this page compare? If a page has a mT/mR score of around 2, with Trust being 4 and Rank being 2, then you're looking at a content that's linked to from great sources but isn't linked to a lot. If the mT/mR score is .5, with Trust being a 2 and Rank being a 4, then you have a page with a ton of links to it, but few that are from "trusted" sources. My guess is that the latter case might start to look like spam to Google - someone building up low-quality links (blogger comments or even the dreaded linkfarms).
I am not sure what to make of a page where the Trust and Rank are both high and the ratio ends up looking close to 1. We have one page that falls under this category - the Trust and Rank are both higher than the competing Wikipedia entry, but the mT/mR ratio is lower because Wikipedia has a lot less strong content and fewer strong links directly to that page on an admittedly niche term.

Sorry to say Cody, but your answer is not conclusive. The question about the ratio still remains, even with myself (therefor i want to ask it again).
During a small investigation on a SERP, i found the following results.
rank #3 scored
mR: 1.72
mT: 4.99
mT/mR: 2.9 <-- according to the Keyword Difficulty Tool this was the best scorehowever!
rank #9 scored
mR: 5.08
mT: 5.82
mT/mR: 1.1 <-- according to the KDT this was the lowest.My question is, with the individual scoring, rank #9 should have had the best score. So what is the use of the ratio of MozTrust to MozRank?
-
This is giving you a score of the popularity and trust of the links. Links that are more popular and that have more trust will provide you with better link juice than those with low popularity and low trust.
These pages should be helpful for you.

What all other SEO tool (along with Moz) are you using at your company / SEO Agency / Marketing Agency?
Hello Folks. Let me put it this way. Moz is great. especially, this community of like minded people. But, when it comes to Moz tool's features- it has its own Pros and Cons. And, that's what force us to add other tools to our tool kit. So, just wanted to know what all other SEO tools you use and why??? Let me start this by answering this question: I use SERPed.net as my other SEO tools suite. And the reasons are: It offers 40+ SEO tools ( Few are similar to the ones that I get with Moz, but the other ones that I don't get in Moz are real good. For ex: **Site Auditor Pro, Mobile **Prospector) Along with showing data for their metrics and algos, they pull data from- SEMrush and Majestic SEO. So, I don't need to have subscription of these 2 tools and still I get the data from them. A big money saver 🙂 Let's start this interesting thread 🙂

Canonicalisation/ Moz/ WP.
Hi, I've recently put a new site live using Wordpress, and have hooked it up to Moz Analytics. Moz is reporting >1000 pages with 'missing meta description page', and >250 with 'duplicate page content'. The issues seem to be being flagged by pages with '?sort=asc&view=main', ?show=paged&view=main, '?sort=ratedup&show=all&view=list', etc. I have a number of category pages, which users can filter by etc to give them the information in the way they want to see it. I have this ' I haven't got many pages indexed by Google yet, so can't see if they're hitting the same issues as Moz. Any help/ advice appreciated.

Very confused on site.com/ or not using a /
I'm wanting to put the rel="canonical" tag on my homepage but I'm not sure which to use? How would you know what to use and always links to, http://www.site.com or http://www.site.com**/** Personally I never knew there was a difference until I used the seomoz tool and I wasn't using the tag.

SEO Moz Tools - too many on the page links result driving me nuts
A while back I remember Rand and I having a conversation about how many links on the page and up until that point I had followed the NO MORE THAN 100 links on a page rule - which is what the MOZ tools are telling me now in the campaigns I have running. But then during a seminar both of us were holding this 100 link rule question came up and Rand commented that this was probably old hat now as the search engines can crawl a much greater number of links in the page. I was encouraged by his answer especially where ecommerce websites are concerned. But the MOZ tool is driving me nuts telling me that this 100 link rule is still something to be adhered too. It is especially frustrating when we are discussing ecommerce website sites with editable mega menus. Examples to support this question are www.bohemiadesign.co.uk or www.flowersbuydelivery.co.uk which are 2 ecommerce sites I am aware of using such mega menus that are editable and give a link count greater than 100. and I am sure there are many more sites like this, even Amazon for example. So, how much notice do we take of this warning in MOZ tools that is telling me about excessive numbers of links on the pages it lists as needing corrected?

How many keywords can I look at at once in keyword difficulty tool?
Can I do like 15 at once? I'm also looking at a way to export all the data from multiple keywords in one view, it seems I can only export individual keywords. Is there a better seomoz tool to accomplish this?
