Has the relevancy of SEOmoz tools disappeared?
-
I have A rankings for my on-site grades for my most important keywords.
I have no Critical issues and no Warnings with my Crawl Diagnostics.
Most of the Competiive Link analysis data shows my site beating out the competition.
If all this is accurate, how can my SERPs continue to decrease and lesser pages with terrible optimization and backlinking be ranking higher? I even have a facebook page beating me in the results.
If there is nothing left for me to address using SEOmoz, and I keep getting worse & results, doesn't it mean that the SEOmoz tools are not relevant to producing actual results?
Or, am I missing something?

Thank you for your response.
I use Alexa audits, Bing and Google webmaster, Google Analytics and SEOBOOK.
While I found the reports in SEOmoz great to use as a roadmap of items to address to improve my optimization, the actual results never materialized., much to my frustration.
I will check into the other tools you stated to see if I can find any additional help there.
Thanks!

While I have found SEOMoz tools to be invaluable for tracking results and providing reports to my CEO, I don't rely solely on SEOMoz for everything I need to optimize the sites I manage. Google Analytics data, reports and tracking are a crucial part of the whole picture.
Have you been tracking your visitor engagement and looking at bounce rate, time on page, depth of site visits, etc? There may be an issue there.
I also use SEMRush, Google Webmaster Tools, Ahrefs, Rank Checker, and the SEOQuake Toolbar to help me look at many different things.
Every site is different. E-commerce sites will have specific problems that blog sites don't have, and vice versa.
I think SEOMoz tools are exceptional, but I think even Mozzers would agree that they are not meant as a stand alone, all-in-one, never need anything else kind of tool. It works best when used in combination with the other great tools that are out there.
Hope that's helpful!

SEOMoz ranking reports inaccurate for Google?
So I have notice that, at least for some searches, the rankings shown in SEOMoz's ranking reports are meaningless. I assume this is due to blended search results including local search. For example, I have a client, who is ranked 3rd overall for one of his most important search terms, but his ranking is based upon his local result (there are 2 organic search results and then he is the first local result). The SEOMoz report shows him being ranked 12th. Anyway I count down to the 12th ranked site (including local search, not including local search) his site is not there. In fact the only place it is in the top 3 pages is in the local result. As a local marketing consultant, almost all of my clients are looking to be found for "Jackson Hole" this or that, or "Jackson, WY" this or that, so this is a pretty critical issue to me. I would appreciate feedback. Thanks!

Significance of SEOmoz`s keyword difficulty
Hello everybody, currently, I am working on a project that will be available in multiple languages. My problem concerns the difference of the German and English language in relation to the SEOmoz`s Keyword difficulty (KWD). I just finished my German keyword research and got a satisfying collection of keywords I can use according to the KWD, page/ domain authority, Backlinks and Onpage-check. Now, as I am doing my research for the English market I find it hard to find any appropriate keywords with a satisfying KWD. I imagined the ranking on the English market to be much harder but now I doubt to ever rank for any useful, effective keyword on my list, because most of them are over 70 (some important over 80). According to the research it seems to have something to do with the authority strength of the pages, trust, etc, because they do not have more backlinks. Since they are query independent it is very hard for me to get a feeling for those metrics (I am new at SEO). So here are my questions: Due to your experiences, is it even possible to derank such pages or should I simply save the effort? How significant is the SEOmoz`s KWD? Would you always do Onpage optimization (text, internal linking) in case you earn more trust, authority, etc in the future, just to have your site optimized on the best keyword possible, even though you know that you cannot rank for that keyword (Cue: User-experience)? Or would you switch to less significant words (e.g. flashcards -> index cards) where you have a chance to rank but which is not that effective with traffic? Or focus on longtail, if possible? Many thanks

Keyword Difficulty Tool Problems?
I was just using the keyword difficulty tool and for some reason, some of the keywords show "not enough data"...I'm not sure why this is the case because a few days ago, there was data... Anyway, is this because it take time for the tool to gather data each month, or is it because there's an issue with the GoogleAPI? Thanks a lot for your help!
