How does MOZ assign a keyword to a page in the On Page Grades by Keyword Ranking
-
I'm in the beta analytics tool. In the On Page Optimization > On Page Grades by Keyword section, there is a Keyword column with a keyword assigned to each URL on my site.
http://analytics.moz.com/search/on-page/572409.326269
How is the keyword that is shown here decieed upon? Is it simply based on a guess of the "best keyword" for each page based on kwp density and other factors?
Can I map a new keyword to each page? or at least to my top ten most important pages? I see I can check the grade for any keyword on any page here: http://analytics.moz.com/search/manage-page-grades/572409.326269. I want to map my top ten pages to ten keywords - can I save these changes in the system so I don't have to manually check a keyword/url match each time?

Welcome to Moz! Have you checked out http://moz.com/help/pro/on-page-reports? That can help answer some of your questions.
How We Generate Reports
The On-page summary automatically generates reports for any of your campaign keywords that rank in the top 50 of your primary search engine. The URL that it grades is the same URL that appears in the search results.For instance, if you have 75 keywords ranking in the Top 50, you should have 75 On-Page Reports. This generation happens automatically within 24 hours of when your rankings are updated.
Also, don't forget that you can always manually generate reports for any URL and one of your keywords. Simply go to the Report Card tab in the On-Page section, and cut and paste or type a new URL into the URL drop box. Then select your keyword from the drop down and select "Grade My Optimization." After that, you can tell the Web App to start tracking that combination in the future, and you should start seeing weekly reports. I hope this helps!

hello! i have a beginner question. i am taking over seo duties for an existing site with an existing Moz account. regarding "on page grades by keywords" tool, have these keywords and URLs been assigned by us previously manually or are these keywords assigned by moz as a recommendation?
also, how can i delete these or change the keyword for that page? it seems it was a previous seo for my site that assigned these keywords. they are wrong, how can i now get a grade for a URL with the proper updated keyword?

The keywords are decided by what is showing in the top 50 results for that keyword. We have some more details about the On Page Grader at http://moz.com/help/pro/on-page-reports

nuash,
You'll notice if you hover over the little "i" icon next to the column heading "URL" with an explanation of how those URls are populated. The URL and page title in that column reflect the search result for a keyword you've chosen for your campaign. So, you aren't able to map a new keyword to the url unless you reoptimize or better optimize the URL for the keyword you want that URL to rank for.

Keyword rankings and tracked keywords - add manually?
Hi, I am a bit confused as to how Moz handles the tracked keywords list that it periodically updates and sends me e-mails about regarding where the position has changed etc. When I signed up for Moz it somehow automatically found a part of our keywords that we use and is now tracking them successfully. However, I have a lot more keywords to track ofcourse since we have nearly 1000 products and Moz hasn't really discovered most of them automatically. Does it mean that the rest of the pages are not optimized enough to even recognize a specific keyword or is it just the matter of adding them all manually? Thanks!

When connecting your Google Analytics account to your Moz account, Moz provides a drop-down of accounts & UA codes to select from. Where is Moz pulling those selection options from?
The list of Google Analytics accounts and UA codes listed are outdated. How can I update them to reflect the most up-to-date accounts (& UA codes associated with those accounts)?

Moz's official stance on Subdomain vs Subfolder - does it need updating?
Hi, I am drawing your attention to Moz's Domain basics here: http://moz.com/learn/seo/domain It reads: "Since search engines keep different metrics for domains than they do subdomains, it is recommended that webmasters place link-worthy content like blogs in subfolders rather than subdomains. (i.e. www.example.com/blog/ rather than blog.example.com) The notable exceptions to this are language-specific websites. (i.e., en.example.com for the English version of the website)." I am wondering if this is still Moz's current recommendation on the subfolders vs subdomains debate, given that the above (sort of) implies that SE's may not combine ranking factors to the domain as a whole if subdomains are used - which (sort of) contradicts Matt Cutts last video on the matter ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MswMYk05tk ) which implies that this is not the case and there is so little difference that their recommendation is to use whatever is easiest. It would also seem to me that if you were looking through the eyes of Google, it would be silly to treat them differently if there were no difference at all other than subdomain vs subfolder as one of the main reasons a user would use a sud-domain is a technical on for which it would not make sense for Google to treat differently in terms of its algorithm. I notice that in terms of Moz, while most of the site uses subfolders, you do have http://devblog.moz.com/ - and I was wondering if this is due to a technical reason or conscious decision, as it would seem to me that the content within this section is indeed linkworthy (as it has external links pointing to it from external sources), therefore it would seem to not be following the initial advice that is posted in Moz's basics on domains. Therefore I am assuming it is due to a technical reason - or that Moz's adive is out of date with current Moz thinking, and is indeed in line with Matt C in that it doesn't matter. Cheers

Moz Analytics Beta Question
I've been invited to the Moz Analytics Beta; however, I am not seeing any data for any of my campaigns. Do I have to do something specific to enable the beta, or does it take a while for information to appear?
