After running my first campaign, what should I tackle first?
-
I'm in the 30 day trial period of SEOMoz Pro. Ran my first campaign and there are many improvements to be had across the board. Looking for some sort of guidance as to what I should focus on first.

You're welcome Randy, am glad to have helped
The Pro Tools are excellent, the guide should help to get the most out of them. Work through it in whatever order seems logical and most apt for your site.

Exactly what I was looking for. The Pro User Guide was going to be my next question but you've beaten me to the punch. Thanks!

Hi Randy
I'd suggest checking out and working through the SEOmoz Pro User Guide, which can be found at http://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/20027997-campaign-set-up
As your campaign is already setup, start by looking at Crawl Diagnostics and addressing any issues there, then check out the Rankings Report to see how your SEO endeavours are doing (helps if you have visitor numbers as well from Google Analytics linked-up).
From there, look at your On-Page Reports, then your Link Analysis.
After you are comfortable that your site is in great shape, start looking at Competitor's sites strengths and weaknesses and your Off-Page SEO (the all important inbound links, which of course requires great content on your site to gain maximum benefit from this).
That should get you off to a great start.
Regards
Simon

There are a lot of different things you can focus on to improve your SEO results, Randy, and this is my personal preference as far as order:
- Keyword research - make sure you're optimizing for the right keywords that you can realistically rank well for
- On-page optimization - make the code and content changes necessary to improve your SEO results
- Off-page optimization - build those relationships and get those back-links that help the search engines see your site as an authority site
Use the SEOmoz Pro tools for each of those areas and I think you'll start seeing good results in your charts.
I hope that helps!

Do we get "Removal of "nofollow" from first custom URL on profile" when we cross 200 Moz Points? I have not received it yet, anything I can do?
Though I have only recently subscribed to Moz Pro, I have been using Moz Blog for quite some time. I recently crossed 200 Moz Points. As per Moz Points, it says "Removal of "nofollow" from first custom URL on profile" for crossing 200 points. I still dont see any links from Moz when I am using OSE. Can anyone suggest what i need to do?

Feature request: Additional user logins to view campaigns
I really need to be able to grant login access for other people in my organisation to the pro account and importantly restrict access to individual campaigns. Can this be bumped up the dev schedule (or is it even in the pipeline)?

SEOmoz indicating duplicate page content on one of my campaigns
Hello All, Alright, according to SEOmoz's PRO campaign manager, one of my websites is returning about 2,700 pages that supposedly have duplicate content. I checked a few of them manually and am not seeing where the issue lies. Is anyone else experiencing something similar to this and do you know if it is just a glitch with the crawl? Here are 2 of the pages it is indicating have dup page content: http://www.dieselpowerproducts.com/c-3120-1994-98-59l-12v-dodge-cummins-carbon-fiber-hoods.aspx http://www.dieselpowerproducts.com/c-90-dodge-cummins-94-02-59l-12v24v.aspx Any insight would be greatly appreciated! -Craig

How do i archive a campaign?
Hi my account is saying i have reached my limit (5) and i am wanting to archive some of the current campaigns in have there within the 5 (they were trial play accounts). Can anyone advise on the best way to do this? At this stage i am not in a position to upgrade my account, so i am hoping that this is still a possibility with the current membership i have and the Q&A outside of saying it is easy does not explain how to do it 🙂 HELP PLEASE?

About the rankings report in the Pro Dashboard, does it track the ranking of every page on a root domain, or just the home page or whichever page you set up the campaign with?
I noticed that one of the pages on my root domain has a #5 rank for a keyword, yet the ranking report says that there are no results in the top 50. So I am assuming it is only tracking the home page. That is one thing I liked about the Rank Tracker, that it would find any page that was ranking on a root domain. Thanks, Lara
