Getting started with moz
-
Hi
i use to be a user of SEO moz before the change to just Moz, however i am struggling to navigate around and work on campaigns.
I need to know what steps to take methodically from setting up a campaign, keyword research, competitors and monitoring SERPs results. in addition improving the page grade reports and analysing keyword difficulty.
Whilst Moz assist you to set up some of this initially when creating the campaign i feel it doesn't seem to take you through a logical methodical step process of configuring in depth the steps of ensuring the correct settings are relevant to the campaign i.e. an outline of the steps and i need to take that follow on from each other and getting your campaign completed.
for example:
- create campaign
- keyword research
- onpage optimisation
- competitor research
- link finder analyser
- run reports that related to the info provided above
I feel lost in the features of moz whilst i can see they are highly beneficial putting them to use in a chronological order to ensure the the correct setup and make use of these tools. i.e. where to start and where to end currently i feel i can only find where to start and what i should do after that to make use of Moz fully is somewhat missing.
Thanks in advance, any links and direct appreciated, i would alsolike to possible speak to a Moz team member regarding my account setup if possible.

Hi Darren!
We do have walkthroughs that can help guide you through your setup at the link Keszi provided. We also have a live welcome webinar hosted by our Success Team each week. You can register here: http://moz.com/help/guides/getting-started/welcome-webinar
As far as correct settings go, we can only verify your campaign URL is setup the way you want it to, the other settings will be up to you to confirm.
For example if you want to track all pages within a domain, then setup a root domain URL as domain.com, this will track all pages and sub-folders for the entire site.
If you only want to track the root domain, or only a sub-domain or sub-folder. Then you would check the box in the advanced settings to "exclude all sub-domains" and you would put www.domain.com or www.domain.com/folder/
This means we would only look for rankings for that specific URL.
For competitors, we can only track the specific URL set. If they appear on Google as www.domain.com, then make sure to add them with the sub-domain.
I highly recommend signing up for the webinar as it is the only way we can provide live walkthroughs of our tools. Hopefully the other resources can help as well!

Rel Canonical Notice in Moz Analytics
Hello all. I just received my first report fro Moz Analytics. Signed up here to see what problems my site might have and find out how to fix them. On all of my issue pages I see notice with black dot saying that my urls are Rel Canonical Using rel=canonical suggests to search engines which URL should be seen as canonical. I know that recently my web developer set up so that every url on my website has a rel=canonical as I think there was an issue with trailing slash. Is this to be considered an issue or I can just leave it? Thank you guys. Regards, Armands

Moz Staff: History + Watch List
Hi All, I have been going crazy trying to find a thread I read last week ... I think!
Getting Started | | Mark_Ch
Several search attempts later, no closer to finding the thread in question. A genius moment or simple frustration got me thinking. How cool would it be to have the following features on MOZ Q&A Forum. Watch List
1] Check off any threads that you would like to monitor over time. Should you stumble upon a thread of value then simply add to watch list and view it's progress over time. No searching for the thread in question. History
2] Keep a history off all threads viewed over a period of time. Thanks Mark0 -
