How can I get ranking keys of competitors
-
Sometimes it might be clever to analyse the stategy of a competitor to see with which keys they rank successfully. For example I have a webshop, so I type in amazon.com and seomoz spits out: books, dvds, ... I can now see with what keys i wont have a chance and can think of missing keys where my chance might be. Is there a possibility to find out with seomoz?
-
No problem, you guys is worth it. Thanks for the Q&A point, did not think of it.
-
but only the keys you added, no?
-
Lots of good answers. Easier would be, if there was a tool. can't be that difficult. Maybe an idear for the team...?
-
The Q&A forum is available just to Pro members, so if someone is in here asking, that means they also have a pro membership.
Thanks for the compliment about the Pro membership Robert!

Check their keyword metatags and titles... the keyword listed there are the ones they want to rank for. Then launch a rank checker to see how they perform.
-
Term extractor is for all, the KW Difficulty just for Pro members.
-
both great tools. SEOmoz has a ton of tools as well.. if you setup campaigns, you can also add competitors and track their wins / fails as well.
-
The term extractor tool is very useful, and I use semrush.com if I want to check what a competitor ranks highest for.
-
Not sure if this is part of the PRO package or available to all, but http://www.seomoz.org/term-extractor and the Keyword Difficulty Tool are both helpful.
A shameless plug for SEOmoz here is I have never regretted having the pro membership.

How to add more competitors
I've used SEOmoz in the past but it's been some time now. Currently in the demo phase and testing out many of the features again, I'm curious whether I can add more competitors above the 3 I entered when setting up my campaign?

Rogerbot getting cheeky?
Hi SeoMoz, From time to time my server crashes during Rogerbot's crawling escapades, even though I have a robots.txt file with a crawl-delay 10, now just increased to 20. I looked at the Apache log and noticed Roger hitting me from from 4 different addresses 216.244.72.3, 72.11, 72.12 and 216.176.191.201, and most times whilst on each separate address, it was 10 seconds apart, ALL 4 addresses would hit 4 different pages simultaneously (example 2). At other times, it wasn't respecting robots.txt at all (see example 1 below). I wouldn't call this situation 'respecting the crawl-delay' entry in robots.txt as other question answered here by you have stated. 4 simultaneous page requests within 1 sec from Rogerbot is not what should be happening IMHO. example 1

Where to get started?
I just joined as a Pro member and am fascinated by all the strategies. I was wondering what your opinion is on where to get started. I am familiar with SEO, but am interested in strategies and techniques people use to make the process easier, more effective, etc.

How do I get the SERP overlay tool to work?
I have the SEOMoz toolbar installed. In the settings I have a tick next to Display SERP Overlay. When I first activated this it showed up but with no data just continually searching for a long time. Now it is not showing up at all. This is such a great tool, how can I get it working? Thanks, Daniel.

How to see rankings for a group of keywords over time?
I have around 1200 keywords in an seomoz campaign, chopped into various groups using labels. I am interested in tracking how keywords perform over time, especially groups of keywords. As far as I can tell, in the seomoz tools I can only see historical performance for a single keyword at a time. Is there a way to get a historical performance graph of more than one keyword at once? We often run optimizations for sets of words, so it seems like you would have better stats looking at groups of words vs picking one at a time. Is there a way to export historical data for more than keyword at a time? (So I could graph and analyze this sort of thing myself) Does anyone have other suggestions for tracking rankings in this way? Thanks for any help!

Where can I view all of the Questions that I have Subscribed to?
I recently asked a question about viewing the questions I have answered already: http://www.seomoz.org/q/where-can-i-view-all-of-the-questions-that-i-have-answered It turns out the link was right under my nose (but it appears a lot of people were having this issue). I'm now having the problem of not being able to see where I can view all the Q&As that I have subscribed to. Again, I may just be missing a link that's right in front of me but it certainly isn't obvious. Any help much appreciated!
