Whats the best way to research website relevant keywords
-
I wanted to know the general practices SEO marketers use when initially researching and revisiting relevant keywords for a website.
I use this process
- Brain storm a list of keywords, between me and the client
- Check out competitors websites & SERP's
- look at Google adwords traffic analyser ( mostly as a point of reference and for increased ideas)
How do others do it? what process do you find works - i'm based in the Uk would be great to get a UK perspective.
Obviously you can't optimise for all keywords in your list how best is it to decide on the best value or less competitive keywords?
I struggle to get stats for local keywords( not enough search data) - most my clients are local businesses and have limited surrounding service areas.
thanks

Does MOZ still do deep crawls of the website?
In the past you could get MOZ to crawl your website, now I don't see this option, no do I see a crawl at the beginning of the month. Has this change? I saw this as a useful feature.

SEOmoz Keyword Difficulty Tool been down for a few days?
Hi All, I notice the SEO moz keyword difficulty tool has been down for a few days!!! I know from support that they say it is going to be a "while" till it fixed, but some type of estimation on how long it will be will be good. Also in regards to the types of accounts, why do the top accounts have the same limitations as the 79/month tool in regards to the keyword tool reports (50 max and 5 per scan)? I mean this is probably a wider question for the SEOmoz team need to answer. Kind Regards.

Website migration
hi, I have to "refurbish" a website from scratch. This domain is quite old (2004) and has got a good audience. 1/ Is there a tip or a tool to guess with witch kind of framework (cms) is it made from ? I mean drupal, joomla, ezpublish, wordpress ..as i can't see it from code source. 2/ Have you got any method to migrate the old database (seems to be iis with asp language) into a new one (i work with php mysql) ? 3/ In order not to loose rankings in Serp, is there a tool to list the main urls with best link juice ? I will then redirect them with a 301 redirection in an .htaccess file. Many thanks..
