Hi! This is a really great question.
I would highly recommend checking out one of our weekly webinars: http://www.seomoz.org/dp/wednesday-webinar with the Help team. Each week they cover a different topic and show you how to best use our tools. You'll get a chance to ask specific questions and get in-depth information.
Also, we have an extensive Help Hub that has lots of information on how to use the tools, why you should use them, etc. I'd check that out as well: http://www.seomoz.org/help.
I hope this helps get you started down the right path.
Thanks again for asking!

If using Google keyword research tool, one thing that you should definitely do is make sure you have exact match selected. When looking at the search volume for broad matches it often easy to put a lot of energy into something that looks like its a great keyword, but from what I have learned its a better approach to focus on keywords you have selected through exact matching.

Thank you Brian! I am going to read that now.
Hopefully it all makes sense afterwards.

Thank you Ben for your response. I am starting from the ground up so, im scratching my head on how to properly perform "keyword research"? smh...
I know about the google keyword tool, but i need to know how to best utilize the tool.
Thanks again - Nirav

- Do "keyword research" for your local area and industry
- Put those keywords into your SEO Moz Campaign
- Let SEO Moz crawl your site (Takes about a week)
- After SEO Moz has info on your site you can follow the tool tips they provide to get a better understanding of how it will help.
SEO is an ever evolving field and their are alot of things you can only pick up by getting involved in the community, testing, failing, improving, ect.
However SEO Moz is a great community and really helps cut down on the learning curb. If you have any questions feel free to ask me directly on this site, Twitter or Quora.

Your going to need to dig into learning SEO before the tools will be helpful to you. As Brian mentioned. Go to http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo and read that from beginning to end. This will give you the SEO basics.

Hi Nirav,
Have you read the "Beginner's Guide to SEO," here on the Moz site? It's a valuable step by step plan...
The tools here help you with every stage of the process, from crawl tests to backlink profiles (in Open Site Explorer) among other things. Within the Guide you'll see helpful tips directly related to tool usage.

Key words that my target segment uses
Using SEOMoz (or what other tools do you recommend), how can I find the most common key words that my target segment uses in Google search - about any subject? Say my target segment of customers is teens aged 13-18 in Mexico (using Spanish) or in Turkey (using Turkish language). Thank you in advance 🙂

In Open Site Explorer is it possible to use wildcards?
If I have a section on my website called lists with articles in there can I use wildcards in Open Site Explorer to find how many backlinks all articles in that section have - and ideally which pages are most linked to? Something like www.example.com/lists/* to give number of backlinks to all articles in that website section and which are the most highly linked to. Would be a great feature to have! Cheers Siimon

SEOmoz Toolbar - Am I the only one who figured this out?
I have been using the SEOmoz toolbar for a while. In the course of a day, and with so many projects going on I end up having about 15-20 tabs in Firefox open at once. Because of the toolbar, my browsing session slows to a crawl and I hate to disable the toolbar because then I have to shut down the 10 projects I am working on. I usually close down my browser when I can't take it anymore and it feels like I am browsing on my 1990's palm device. What I decided to do is install the toolbar on Google Chrome. I don't use this browser very often so now whenever I need to check out a website, I just use Chrome instead of Firefox. Maybe there is a way to turn off the toolbar that I don't know about. Any other toolbar tips?

Is the Linkscape Index getting updated?
I know it only gets a big refresh once a month...The last being in the early part of January. But I released a map that went viral (front page of CNET, Wired, Scientific American) that has gotten me hundreds of links from different domains: https://www.google.com/search?q=perceptionbuilder.com+map I got these links in early to mid December and OSE is showing no data at all. Similarly, I have been doing some linkbuilding for clients and links that I got in October and November and those links aren't showing up either. Anyone else experiencing this? Many thanks, Matt
