What's the best tool to use to compare competirors
-
A client of ours has asked us to compare their search rankings to competitors. What's the best tool to use in SEOMoz to do this?
-
Yes Open Site Explorer does allow you to compare up to 4 URLs to a given URL of your choosing.
-
Can you post 2-3 Urls - that you want to see diferences between ?

Hi Sean,
When you are setting up your campaign, you can designate up to three competitors, and get a bunch of metrics on them. Once the campaign has been live for a week, you can compare your clients ranks to those of their three closest competitors for as many keywords as you have designated, as well as three search engines.
You can also compare domain authority, and backlinks. Over time, this can be very valuable because you can track the success of any initiatives that you or your competitors undertake. I hope this helps!

Does Moz have any tools to see the amount of traffic certain keywords bring us in search? Does anyone know any tools that give the actual traffic numbers?
We're looking for numerical data on the amount of traffic that keywords receive, regardless of their rank in Moz. Thanks!

Keyword Difficulty Tool not working?
I just started using SEOMoz and I was running some searches with the Keyword Difficult Tool. It was going swell until about 10 hours ago when I begun getting this message: "Uh oh... there was a temporary problem gathering Analysis data for your request. Sorry about that! We're actively looking into resolving these intermittent issues, but in the meantime, try submitting your request again in 20 minutes. Thank you!" I gave it time to no avail. It has been about 10 hours since then and I can't KDT at all. Am I doing something wrong or is it on the SEOMoz side? Everything else works just fine.

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!
