When using Moz Pro do I want Google-UK or -GB as default and why?
-
Hi.
When using Moz Pro, I always select Google UK as default search with GB and US next.
Is there a reason to choose one over the other? If so why?
I am UK based and so are my clients.
Thanks

In seminar it has been confirmed that Google GB and UK are the same and are there for historical customers.

Hi,
It is now 3 years since this post but en-UK and en-GB are still in the dropdown menus. I have selected en-UK for Google, Google Mobile and Yahoo BUT Bing only gives en-GB as option.
I assume it is ok but could someone confirm?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Pam

Hi there! My name is Erin, and I'm on the Moz Help Team. Thanks for reaching out, and I appologize for the confusion. This came to our attention back in May, and one of our Product Managers wrote an answer to another Q&A about it as well. Basically both Google GB and Google UK map to google.co.uk, and this is just a funny bug on our end. When you create your campaign choose google.co.uk .
I hope this helps, and let us know if you have any other questions!
Cheers,
Erin

You also forgot some of the smaller islands around England like new jersey - I would assume the same thing that UK is a larger area than GB
-
Well there is no google.gb !. I'm in N.Ireland so out side GB but in UK, as my search results are full of GB only stuff unless it local results ( very frustrating), so that made me assume google doesn't differentiate between GB and UK in its search results, buy maybe I'm wrong.
I think a Moz staff member is going to have to clear this up for us.

GB is just England, Wales and Scottland.
UK also includes parts of Northern Ireland as well as all of GB.I imagine there wouldn't be much difference in those results, however I'm just a yank.
-
The GB has been there since I have been a member (over 12 months).
I assumed the same thats why I select -UK.
Nothing major, some slight differences in rank but if they are just the same or not needed I will select a different search instead of GB.
-
I have never noticed GB before, so I wonder if its a new thing. I assumed "UK" was google.co.uk so I'm not sure what difference GB is ( according to google, not geographically).
Do you notice any difference between UK an GB rank results?

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.

MOZ TEAM - your system done broke my status as a guru
Dear MOZ TEAM - WHY, when I have 2990 moz points, and my profile shows guru, does my profile banner in the Q&A itself now say ASPIRANT? Such a cruel world this has become ! I know I've wanted all along to have you come up with any title other than "guru" because that word is so dreaded in our world. Yet seriously - aspirant? I feel like Roger got drunk one night and decided "let's tease Alan"...

Does SEOMOZ use Google Search?
I run a Joomla site and have noticed users having a hard time finding what they are looking for. The default Joomla search is lacking and the latest Joomla search component I added is better but still not great. I've always been able to find what I'm looking for on SeoMoz, do you guys use Google Site Search?

Rankings in Google UK
Hi there, Can someone explain the difference between the results in Google UK - the default is 'The Web', whereas I can opt to choose 'Pages from the UK'. My question is: If I'm tracking rankings for Google United Kingdom in SEOMoz, is it tracking the results from 'Pages from the UK' or the default setting of 'The Web'? Are there any statistics on how many people choose to see 'Pages from the UK'? Thanks

The value of .uk.com domains
It was a long night last night (working, not playing), therefore forgive the potential stupidness of this question... Running an OSE report on a website earlier their top linking domain was *.uk.com. This is a valid TLD, and I know for sure that the website has not acquired links direct from the uk.com website but from some-other-registered-domain.uk.com. What I am asking is does the Moz Calculation and/or the pagerank calculation give more value to these links? *.uk.com has a Domain Authority of 71 and 156,497 linking root domains. If so i'm gonna go buy me a bunch of .uk.com domains..... Opinions please.
