Why does Moz uses the Bing search volume instead of Google?
-
If i want to check search volume of a key word its done in Bing, but i would like to know the Google search volume for my customers. How do you change this??
Anybody ??

Totally agree with this Linda.
Just wanted to add that Moz did have a blog about Keyword volume tools which talks specifically about the pros and cons of using Google Adwords for exactly this.
Hope this helps

You cannot change it. Google does not allow Moz and other sites to use their data this way, so that is why Moz uses Bing. To get Google data, you need to sign up for Google Adwords and use their tool. (You do not have to be actively using Adwords, just signed up.)

Duplicate Content & Title Tag Group Fields on MoZ Report
Hello, On my SEO MOZ exported Site Crawl CSV report, I have columns for Duplicate Content Group & for Duplicate Title Tag Group. The values in the columns are numerical - 20, 5 , 15, etc. Can anyone explain to me what these values represent and how I can fix the issues I presume they represent? Thank you,

Moz Crawler fails on the first page
Hi guys, Can anybody shed some light, I'm running a crawl on a client's website but it's failing on the homepage and not crawling any other pages. It appears to be throwing an 804: HTTPS (SSL) error and then terminating the crawl. Now, the page in question was serving up mixed content up until about 4 days ago, but has since been fixed. I read that we should wait at least 48 hours before initiating another crawl to avoid hitting a cached version - which I did, but it still appears to be having issues. Is there anything specific I can do to get around this issue? I'm on a trial account and this feature is one I'm keen to test, so there is a bit of a time constraint. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Bing data in the keyword difficulty and SERP analysis tool
Hi Guys, I'm wondering about the exact match bing data in the Moz KWD & SERP analysis tool. We're looking at the ranking difficulty for given terms in Google but getting exact match bing numbers. Is the tool estimating Google searches from the bing data (perhaps a simple formula assuming maybe 10% search totals for Bing, 60% for Google or whatever is closest these days) or is it just raw bing numbers that we then have to upsize in order to estimate search numbers in Google? Hope that makes some kind of sense! In other words - how are you guys using that Bing data when considering terms to target using this tool? Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
