Verified News Sources: A New Feature in Fresh Web Explorer Launched Today!
-
Hey gang - I wanted to mention a small update we've made to Fresh Web Explorer (I was the architect on this one). It enables you to filter your searches and/or your Alerts to show only those sources/domains we've observed in Google News. E.g. here's a search for GigaOm with news filtering on (180 results in the last 7 days) vs. the same search with news filtering off (1,811 results).
It's mostly useful for folks who are getting overwhelmed by the quantity of mentions they see in FWE and Alerts (I was experiencing that myself with mentions for my name and Moz) and just want to filter to the most important/noteworthy stuff. It's not perfect - Google News does have some weird domains that show in there occasionally - but it's definitely a much better filter if you have a bigger brand or term/phrase you're watching.
Any questions or feedback, please let us know!

Hi Rand,
This is a fantastic upgrade. It was difficult to filter through key phrases that were popular without getting overwhelmed. This will help us polarize in on the stuff that counts.
Thanks another great improvement to Moz.
Great job
Tom
PS See you at SearchLove Boston!

Hi Don - probably not, at least not in the near future. Curious about how you might use that data if it were offered separately? Is segmenting Google News sources vs. Yahoo! News sources when looking at fresh links/mentions valuable?
Note: For NPR or CNN or any individual domain, you can already do that! Just use the site: operator, e.g. startups site:npr.org
-
Are more outlets (filters) coming?
Yahoo News / NPR / CNN / etc......

This is cool! Nice job, Rand and team.
-
Also useful from working on the other side of trying to make traction within larger / verified news sources. Great work!

Understanding Keyword Explorer SERP Analysis
Hi Guys Based on the attached SERP analysis provided by Keyword Explorer, the term 'silver jewelry' appears to have a lot of potential; it has good search volume, high opportunity and potential scores; however when you look at the metrics associated with the top 3 competing sites, and the fact page 1 is dominated by major brands with equally good metrics, then a difficulty score of 26, meaning easy; seems a bit unrealistic. I would like to hear what others have to say, or am I missing something here. Regards Peter H96KVmH

Open site explorer linking root domains
My company has been trying to increase the number of linking root domains for a specific page on our website using our PR company and press releases that are sent out and linked back to this page. This is working nicely, but the number of linking root domains is still not increasing under the "linking root domains" tab. I am noticing the correct links to this domain under "fresh web mentions" though. I know this tool can take a bit to update, but it has been quite some time and I still only see the one link.
