How do I know which keywords to track in my MOZ Campaigns?
-
Good morning Mozzers from the London, England.
This may be a silly question to many of the community, but here goes "How do I know which keywords to track in my MOZ campaigns?"
I work in the gyms section in the UK and am tracking keywords like "Gyms in Liverpool" or "Manchester gyms" which send me some traffic.
I can see search terms like the above do send me traffic from Google's Webmaster Tools, but obviously this tool won't highlight the keyword opportunities I am missing out on because I currently don't rank.
Any guidance on this dilemma would be hugely appreciated,
Kindest regards
Ben

Hi Ben,
If you are already getting some traffics from some keywords. You can try out for Google Keyword Planner (https://adwords.google.com/KeywordPlanner) and Keywordtool.io as advised by Martin. Also, you can Access your Google analytics in broader way by connecting it to MOZ pro Analytics> Keyword Ranking to get keywords based on your website and its competitors automatically.

Hi Ben
Have you already optimised your website for keywords? If not then follow Martijn's advice, if the current website is optimised then simply track all keywords which you are currently trying to rank for.
Kind Regards

Hi Ben,
I would start off with doing some extensive keyword research to find the best keywords that are you related to your business. Tools you could use for that are Google Adwords Keyword Tool and Keywordtool.io. Next to that there are more than dozens of great blog posts on how to do keyword research, like for example: http://blog.kissmetrics.com/keyword-research-part-2/ and http://www.viperchill.com/keyword-research/

Moz crawling
Hi Everyone! I'm new to the SEOMoz and wanted to find out if there is a way to decrease the waiting time for the campaign crawl. I have made a lot of changes based on the first crawl and would like to see how these are reflected on the reports, but can't until the next crawl is performed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is the keyword difficulty tool the most helpful in all situations?
I understand that the scores it generates are essentially based on the difficulty of appearing on the first SERP for the keyword in question. That said, I am having a lot of difficulty finding keywords in my niche which return a score that would make this easily achievable for a site of my size.... The reason I'm pointing this out is because theoretically, a keyword could have a HIGHLY competitive first SERP, with a significant drop-off on the second SERP, which would make achieving a top ranking on that page substantially easier. So my question really is, is the importance of appearing on the first SERP so unequivocally important that it is a pointless activity to attempt deliberately to rank for keywords on the second SERP, which is ignored by the keyword difficulty tool? I know the breakdown of clicks goes something like 40% for top spot, 12% for second and downwards from there, but if a certain query has over a million searches per month, for example, it would still be possible to get considerable amounts of traffic by trying to rank highly on the second SERP, which the keyword difficulty tool cannot help with. So is this really a useless activity?

My campaigns are not analyzing all my pages.
Hi I created a campaign against http://www.universalpr.com, and this campaign reports that only one page has been crawled. This site uses a jsvascript redirect to the real page which can be found through the following: www.universalpr.com/wps/portal/universal/univhome/!ut/p/c5/04_SB8K8xLLM9MSSzPy8xBz9CP0os_hQdwtfCydDRwN_Jw9LA0-LAOPQYCdDI_9QY_1wkA6zeAMcwNFA388jPzdVPzi1WL8gO68cANNcdLU!/dl3/d3/L2dBISEvZ0FBIS9nQSEh/ Now I also attempted to create a campaign against this page in case that the javascript redirect was breaking things, but that campaign also reported 1 page crawled. Can anyone instruct me as to what I'm doing wrong? Thank you

Keyword Rankings Question
Does the Keyword Rankings tool track all urls or just the main. Example: Say I put www.domain.com to have tracked. Will the Keyword Rankings tool also track www.domain.com/landing-page and any derivative of the main domain or would this be considered a separate campaign. Thanks
