Was changing some keywords worth it?
-
Hi, I recently started with the SEO and all the "magic".
Thanks to moz I analyze/change my keywords in On-Page optimization and follow recommendations in the Crawl Diagnostic. Since then I have a simple (maybe dummie) question.
How can I determine that changing of some keywords was worth it? I was thinking that I could check these three things if they are growing/improving:-
check "url - keyword" rank and grade
-
check number of visits from the organic search history
-
check Page Authority, MozRank, MozTrust in Open Site Explorer
Are these three good metrics? What else?I know it is probably not so easy to answer and it is probably matter of discussion.
Thanks anyway for answers.
D.

Thanks for the answers, guys!
I got it now...
I guess it is not that simple to answer my question. If it was easy to measure which keywords are "the best" it would be simpler, but (on the other hand) less interestingD.

Hi Dusan!
You're definitely on the right track, though I'd make a few adjustments to those metrics. To tell whether changes to your on-page keyword targeting were worth it, I'd suggest focusing on rankings changes and traffic.
While Page Grade will tell you whether a page is compliant with keyword targeting best practices, it won't tell you whether that keyword targeting is positively affecting your rankings or traffic. Page Authority, MozRank, and MozTrust are link metrics, and don't consider any on-page or keyword targeting factors, so they really won't do anything to show the effects of your on-page optimization.
Does that help?

Hi Dusan
I believe your proposed metrics are the adequate.
Anyway I must tell you that I do not use only moz which I love... I use lots of Google Analytics, and probably you will also love to see how your metrics are changing day after day, and I´ll tell you why.
It is not only a matter of visits, you also need to know if those visits "convert" as they navigate a certain amount of time, a certain amount of pages... or in the best case, bought, or at least subscribed for a newsletter...
It is a combination of kw search volume, relevance, serp position, number of visits, and returns which bring profitable results on this virtuous equation.
I hope I have given at least a glimpse of how I look for results when selecting kw strategies.
Cheers from southern Spain.

When setting up a new campaign for a client should I add keywords
I'm new to Moz and SEO. When setting up a new campaign there are some keywords pre-filled. Sometimes there are a lot. Sometimes they are very client-specific rather than for the sector or for a search. Sometimes there are very few poor quality keywords. Should I research keywords so that there are as many as possible relevant keywords when first setting up the campaign or leave it as it is and add keywords later?

Explanation of rankings summary - Rankings in top 50 and Keywords that have moved up or down
Question on the exact definition / relationship between the summary of your rankings in the top 50 and the number of keywords that have moved up or down for your selected time frame. To me, I would expect the number of keywords that have moved up (or down) to be more than the sum of any upward movement for the top 50 For example, if it says we had (7) keywords that moved up to 1-3 and (5) moved up to 21-50 and then to the right of that it tells me we have had 5 keywords move up - what does that mean

Fastest way to set up Moz to produce a list of easy-to-rank for keyword opps
I've used Hubspot's keyword tool previous to MOZ, and I know that they import data generated from MOZ into their tool... but I find it a much more convoluted process using Moz's more robust system. ALL I want is to dump in a long list of keyword possibilities, then see where we can easily rank for these terms, especially against our local competitors. How do I set this up???? It's not as self-explanitory as Hubspot! Thanks!!!
