How often does Organic Traffic Data update?
-
The latest traffic I see is from week ending 2nd Jan 2011, this seems an overally long time to wait for a traffic update, given that tools such as Raven can provide live stats.
-
Oh, by the way.
There are several different reports in the Web App that all update at different times.
1. Your Crawl - Each crawl takes about one week to complete and process the results. Generally, you'll see the results 5-7 days after the beginning of your crawl. If it's been significantly longer than that, contact the help team (help@seomoz.org)
The date of your crawl is dependent on the day you first set up your campaign. This cannot be changed.
2. Rankings - Once per week. Because rankings are checked independent of your crawl, the actual date they update in your campaign may be different than your crawl.
3. Traffic - Once per week. Always Monday though Sunday.
4. Link Analysis - About once per month, following updates in the Linkscape Index

Hi MisterG,
The traffic stats update once per week, but they are a little confusing in how they are displayed. We can definitely do a better job messaging.
A "week" runs from Monday thru Sunday, so if your traffic report says Week of: 1/2, this actually covers the time period from January 2nd to January 8th.
So your next traffic update will be Monday, which will cover 1/9 to 1/15.
(as I look at it, it definitely isn't intuitive in the Web App that these are the dates. I'll pass the message along to the team and see if they can make this more clear)
Thanks for the heads up!

Cool! Evil Edna! Just an FYI, My last rank update was January 9th, and a new crawl is running right now.
-
I was wondering the same thing... my last update was 1/2 and this notice has been showing for a couple days
Next Crawl in Progress! Started: Jan. 13th, 2012
Seems like it's hung or failed...

How to sift "site search" data from Google Analytics for trends
I apologize in advance if this has been asked a million times but I'm just not able to find anything on it for some reason. Probably the words "site" and "search" come up a lot in this area... Anyhow, my question: How do I find trends in "site search" data from Google Analytics? I set up "site search" a long time ago. I have thousands and thousands of searches people have made on my site logged and squirreled away. The plan was to review them on a weekly basis, find the trends and start writing content to address interests people seem to be having but not finding on our site. Sounded great at the time. The problem I have, of course, is that among my 10,000 searches (many shown in Google Analytics as "no-results:cats and dogs", etc), there are slight differences that make it difficult to total up search trends. Let's say the list is like this: Term | Search Count Cats | 500
Moz Pro | | rtkl
Dogs | 500
Cat | 250
Dog | 250
Cat food | 5
Dog food | 5
Birds | 1
Bird | 1
Cats are great | 1
Cats are really great | 1
Dogs are great | 1
I like birds | 1
Seriously, I like Cats | 1
Turtles | 1 ... 10,000 more entries, every single one only 1 search per term. OK, so it looks like people like Cats and Dogs a lot, but also Birds and Turtles. But maybe there are snake searches. Maybe there are "cat pajamas" searches and variations on all of the above. Who knows what else is really trending in there??? The review of this data is MIND-NUMBING. Especially when you get into plurality and misspellings, this rabbit hole has no bottom. Is there a tool people in the SEO jam use to take a big ole CSV dump and have it magically sorted by at least potential trends? I mean, there's gotta be, right? And I'm silly for not already knowing what it is.0 -
Why is the weekly rankings report often inaccurate?
Does anybody else notice that the Moz weekly rankings report are often inaccurate? Many times it says a keyword (or many keywords) fell out of the top 50, although when I manually check the keyword in a Google search, it still shows that those keywords are ranking in the top 10. I've done these manual searches with personalized search settings turned off, as well as from a completely unbiased computer. Why is this happening? Does anybody have any suggestions? Thank you!

Tools which scan urls for social data
Hi can anyone recommend any tools out there, which can allow me to scan a list of pages (urls) and give me back social data for each page (e.g. number of facebook likes, shares, twitter data, google plus, etc) Cheers, Chris

SEO Yoast data export
Just thought I would give something back. (Is this the right place!) I use Wordpress with the excellent SEO Yoast plugin. I needed a way of extracting the focus keywords that I have entered onto my pages along with the url for use on the SEOmoz On-page Optimisation tool. So I created GetYoastData which outputs to the browser the required data (and a bit more) that can be saved into an csv (Excel) file. Hope you find it useful - Yes it's not polished and yes it might output a blank line now and again but it's fairly useful. http://deanandrews.uk/get-yoast-seo-data/

On the seconnd hand, traffic travis is way more cheaper only $97 one time fee as apposed to SEOMoz $100 per month Could someone convince me SEOMOZ is the better tool?
