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

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!

Does CNAME impact SEO?
I've recently brought on Pardot. For Campaign ROI tracking, I'm supposed to add a CNAME (I'm using .go) with /source to each source of possible first touches, like Google My Business or an industry directory. For example, to track referrals and $ROI from a directory, I'm supposed to use go.myURL.com/directoryname. Does using go. and /source have a negative impact on my SEO? Thanks for your help.

Where is the link prospecting tool?
I feel like last year when Moz was still SEOMoz I used a beta tool that would help you build a bunch of queries for link prospecting. You would tell it what your sites about and a few other pieces of information, and it would give you a list of google queries to get you started (ie inurl:directory <industryname> +"add site"</industryname>). However, I'm having a hard time finding this tool, or any reference to it on the web. It's also possible that it wasn't a moz tool but I'm misremembering where I found it. Does anybody have any idea what I'm talking about?

Pro newbie - What is a "campaign"?
I signed up three weeks ago and the first email to me begins with: The first step in PRO is to set up your campaign. Once we start tracking your site and social media accounts, you'll start receiving handy reports of your data. You can also surface site issues right in the app to help you prioritize which fixes you can make for immediate results. At this point I don't know what kind of "campaign" this is or what the "app" is. I have also lodged a ticket because something seems to be broken about my Pro status. I can obviously participate here, so I have a Pro status, but at OSE, it says "Social metrics only available to paid Moz subscribers. Learn more" and hit my Advanced Report limit for the day without seeing any such report.

Can't find duplicate page content
Hi all. I'm trying to create a report to list all of my site's duplicate content that SEOmoz says we have. However when I click on the link it just shows me the title and description of the page. I don't know what the other page is that has duplicate content or what the duplicate content is. Where do I find this information? Thanks in advance!

How can the differences between Moz and Majestic's link totals be explained?
Hello, Newbie here so this might be a really daft question.... We've a few accounts and are trialling different software - across a few campaigns, we're seeing big differences in link numbers from different software (namely Moz and Majestic). I'm assuming there is a really good reason for it - just can't find what it is! Thanks in advance!

Pro Report Card Question
I am getting this warning in the Pro Report Card, my site is http://www.myfairytalebooks.com which seems to have Children's and not Childrens in the title. Is it my site that needs to html encode in the title or is Report Card slightly broken? Exact Keyword Usage in Page Title Easy fix <dl> <dt>Page title</dt> <dd>"Personalized Childrens Books Kids Music CDs Baby Books & Gifts."</dd> <dt>Explanation</dt> <dd>Search engines consider the title element to be the most important place to identify keywords and associate the page with a topic and/or set of terms. SEOmoz's correlation research has also shown that rankings are heavily influenced by keyword usage in the title tag.</dd> <dt>Recommendation</dt> <dd>Employ the keyword in the page title, preferrably as the first words in the element.</dd> </dl>
