Can I specify a url for a keyword in the rank checker tool?
-
Hello!
I'm new to seomoz and excited to learn the system. I created a campaign and added keywords but I'm not clear how the seomoz campaign rankings tool works.
As an example, one of my keywords 'cigar cutters' is reporting at position 20 for url http://www.cheaphumidors.com/c_guillotine-cutters.html.
However, I think it would be better target to focus that keyword on http://www.cheaphumidors.com/c_cutters.html. as a search for 'cigar cutters' could encompass either a guillotine cutter, punch cutter or cigar scissors.
Is there any way to assign http://www.cheaphumidors.com/c_cutters.html to the term 'cigar cutters' in the campaign ranking report?

Just wanted to follow up - how's your stuff looking?
-
yes. if you go to "see all keyword rankings" in your campaign, you will get a list of your keywords and how they are ranking. clicking on the individual keyword will show you how it's doing in search results, with all pages ranking highlighted.
this will work after they email you indicating your report is ready. right now, you're just getting a "starter crawl." no rush, you'll be fine...
-
So your guess would be after they send that email that they're finished I should see 'humidor sale' ranking for both urls?
-
It depends on the size of the site. Give it a couple of days. They'll send you an email when they're finished. After that, you'll get a weekly report, and they'll email you when it comes in.
Please feel free to contact me if you need any help.

Havent made any page changes. Could it be that since I just signed up yesterday it still has to complete aggregating all of the data? I still get the welcome message saying "good data takes time" but there is no indication as to how long it takes seomoz to complete the rankings check.
-
Ahhh, I see. Two things could be happening.
- You could have changed the second page since SEO Moz ran the campaign report. It is run weekly, and therefore may not be current. You may have changed things, gotten recrawled, and the campaign just hasn't seen it yet. However, Rank Checker is pulling current data.
- (more likely) - click on the actual keyword in your report. Don't download the CSV, just click on the actual keyword. It will give you the top 50 results for that specific keyword. The CSV that contains all keywords will just show you the top result.
That work?
-
That's strange. When I exported the csv from the campaign rankings tool, the term 'humidor' sale only showed up once as ranking for http://www.cheaphumidors.com/ but http://www.cheaphumidors.com/c_medium-humidors.html also ranks at #17 according to the seomoz rank tracker research tool.
-
Forgot to specify - as long as they are on the same domain. If you want to track two domains, you can use two campaigns, or just set one up as a competitor
-
Yes. I don't have an image uploaded to point to, but you will see every instance that you rank for the keyword. It will show up as multiple points within the graph, and every page on your site that ranks will be highlighted in green in the listing of search results.
-
So if the search term, 'cigar cutters' was ranking in the top 50 for both urls, it would show up twice in the report?
-
In your campaign ranking report, it will show all rankings in the top 50 for your domain. So, if you have 2 words ranking for "cigar cutters" both will show up. You can see this by clicking on the keyword in your report. The list of keywords with all of the rankings will show you the top position.
If you go to tools, then "rank checker," you can do this manually. Put in the exact URL and search for the keyword that you are targeting.
Does that help?

Are there any free (or paid) tools available online that download Meta Tags for ALL URL's of a website?
Hi, I am looking to run an On-Site audit for a website and I'm wondering if there are any tools available online that take the existing Meta Tags on ALL pages of a website and downloads them to a .CSV or .XLS. Would need Meta Title and Meta Description for all pages at the very least. Any suggestions are appreciated - looking for Free or Paid options. Thanks.

Ranking - UK or Localised?
The MOZ rankings are based on a GOOGLE UK search, when in reality when someone does a search on Google, the results, by default, are localised (based on the City IP). We need to see where we rank for a local search (Leeds) and also for a UK search?

Tool for tracking actions taken on problem urls
I am looking for tool suggestions that assist in keeping track of problem urls, the actions taken on urls, and help deal with tracking and testing a large number of errors gathered from many sources. So, what I want is to be able to export lists of url's and their problems from my current sets of tools (SEOmoz campaigns, Google WM, Bing WM,.Screaming Frog) and input them into a type of centralized DB that will allow me to see all of the actions that need to be taken on each url while at the same time removing duplicates as each tool finds a significant amount of the same issues. Example Case: SEOmoz and Google identify urls with duplicate title tags (example.com/url1 & example.com/url2) , while Screaming frog sees that example.com/url1 contains a link that is no longer valid (so terminates in a 404). When I import the three reports into the tool I would like to see that example.com/url1 has two issues pending, a duplicated title and a broken link, without duplicating the entry that both SEOmoz and Google found. I would also like to see historical information on the url, so if I have written redirects to it (to fix a previous problem), or if it used to be a broken page (i.e. 4XX or 5XX error) and is now fixed. Finally, I would like to not be bothered with the same issue twice. As Google is incredibly slow with updating their issues summary, I would like to not important duplicate issues (so the tool should recognize that the url is already in the DB and that it has been resolved). Bonus for any tool that uses Google and SEOmoz API to gather this info for me Bonus Bonus for any tool that is smart enough to check and mark as resolved issues as they come in (for instance, if a url has a 403 error it would check on import if it still resolved as a 403. If it did it would add it to the issue queue, if not it would be marked as fixed). Does anything like this exist? how do you deal with tracking and fixing thousands of urls and their problems and the duplicates created from using multiple tools. Thanks!

How many keywords/domains can I track using this tool on the Pro membership? Looking at the tool itself, it looks like 100 but in the 'help' section it states up to 300?

Handling long URLs and overly-dynamic URLs on eCommerce site
Hello Forum, I've been optimizing an eCommerce site and our SEOmoz crawls are favorable for the most part, except for long URLs and overly-dynamic URLs. These issues stem from two URL types: Layered navigation (faceted search) and non-Google internal search results. I outline the issues for each below. We use an SEO-friendly URL structure for our product category pages, but once bots start "clicking" our layered navigation options, all the parameters are appended to our SEO-friendly urls, causing the SEOmoz crawl warnings. Layered Navigation :
Moz Pro | | pano
SEO-Friendly Category Page: oursite.com/shop/meditation-cushions.html Effects of layered navigation: oursite.com/shop/meditation-cushions.html?bolster_material_quality=414&bolsters_appearance=206&color=12&dir=asc&height=291&order=name As you can see the parameters include product attributes and page sorts. I should note that all pages generated by these parameters use the element to point back to the SEO-friendly URL We have also set up Google's Webmaster Tools to handle these parameters. Internal Search Function:
Our URLs start off simple: oursite.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=brown. Then the bot clicks all the layered navigation options, yielding oursite.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?appearance=54&cat=67&clothing_material=83&color=12&product_color=559&q=brown. Also, all search results are set to noindex,follow. My question is: Should we worry about these overly-dynamic and long ULR warnings? We have set up canonical elements, "noindex,follow" solutions, and configured Webmaster Tools to handle our parameters. If these are a concern, how would you resolve these issues?0 -

Do the SEOmoz keyword rankings display results for exact match or broad match?
