Where can I find documentation for the different SEO Pro Tools?
-
I apologize if this has been asked and answered or if the documentation is right in front of my nose, but I can't find it. I'm looking for information that explains what the various tools do and in particular, what each of the fields in the reports mean? For example, what does the "Find Links on this Domain" link mean in a Juicy Linkfinder Report? I know there are lots of resources on SEO and best practices and so on, but wondering if documentation on the specific tools exists. Thanks.

Hi Janice,
We're working on adding more and more documentation to our Help Desk. So you should definitely check that out!

Enjoy!

Wow - thank you Tom. I'll definitely check out these links and just keep reading and learning. Probably the more I know about the SEO concepts, practices and reports, the easier the tools will be to use. Thanks again.

Here you go, I managed to dig up informative blog posts for most of the active tools:
Trifecta
http://www.seomoz.org/blog/goodbye-page-strength-hello-trifecta-seomozs-latest-analysis-tool
Competitive Link Finder
http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/competitive-link-finder-provides-qualitative-link-building-ideas
Linkscape

Hi Janice,
I'm not aware of any central location for all the docs. The main page has short descriptions:
Then some tools have their own help section:
http://www.seomoz.org/rank-tracker/help
Others have a longer description on the page:
http://www.seomoz.org/crawl-test
The other good resource are the blog posts where tools are introduced, which are easiest found by googling the toolname, for example:
http://www.seomoz.org/blog/goodbye-page-strength-hello-trifecta-seomozs-latest-analysis-tool
I know you were maybe looking for something longer and more details, but I'm afraid that is all I'm aware of. I think the introductory blog posts are pretty thorough though. Hope this helps!

Can you save a keyword in its own group?
Hi everyone, I have been doing competitive research, but after researching several hundred keywords, I realized that they were all combined. This made it difficult and time consuming to do further research because they were all grouped together. Is there any way to create each group of keywords in their own separate group? I see that you can create campaigns, but that asks for a comparison of websites. As I do not have a website that I want to track or compare, I prefer not to do that. Thanks so muck for the help. Don

Affordable SEO?
Hey,
Moz Pro | | ChrisHolgate
I love the resources available to me through Moz.com and although I've found it's possible to make a half decent attempt at improving our site using these tools. I have however got to the point where it would be nice to have a second opinion as my view on our site and what can be achieved is no doubt somewhat stale. Obviously asking the community through Q&A is a start and I have benefited greatly in the past from your advice but I wouldn't expect anybody to give our site more than a two minute glance for free. As such I'm hoping to locate someone that I can pay to talk things over with just to get some fresh ideas and perhaps a list of tasks that my staff and I can continue to undertake over the coming months. I appreciate that Moz has a list of recommended SEO companies however these all seem to be targeted towards larger brands and I can imagine a relationship with one of these companies being less personal than I would like. Asides from going through lists of users and checking out their profiles individually, is there a resource that lists the smaller independent on Moz.com and if so where can I find it? Alternatively are their any external resources that might help me to find someone that would be a good match?
Thanks for your help. Chris1 -

Where does the crawler find the urls?
The SEO Moz crawler has found a number of 500 error pages, and 404s etc which is very useful 🙂 however some of the urls are weird/broken formats we don't recognise and nobody remembers ever using - not weird enough to imply hacking, but something broken in the CMS Is there anyway to find out where the crawler found these urls? I can patch up and redirect the end result as best I can but I would prefer to fix plug the leak thanks 🙂

Moz tool bar showing less links
Just checked our links for a couple of our sites and noticed that the number of inbound links has dropped from around 55,000 to 13,000 on one and from 6000 to 700 on the other. GWMT still showing the previous amounts. Anyone else experienced this over the last few days?

Any ideas about using research tools data to create client interest in dedicating marketing spend on SEO services vs their other current antiquated marketing methods?
I consult in the dental industry. Many professionals in this industry are operating in the dark ages when it comes to marketing. Any ideas about using research tools data to create client interest in dedicating marketing spend on SEO services vs their other current antiquated marketing methods? I am approaching potential clients to pitch SEO. They aren't necessarily seeking SEO services currently but have a strong marketing budget. I would like to use seomoz tools data about their site and competitors as way to show possibilities/potential of SEO services to gain interest in further discussion of SEO benefits.
