Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The question is specifically about rank tracking by region—not traffic by region.

The current Moz keyword ranking report doesn't offer that functionality. The new moz analytics apparently will offer a keyword opportunities report sorted by global search volume, but I don't think that's what you're looking for.

Probably the most "direct" (still indirect) way would be to pull the volume from adwords and use vlookup in excel to get the search volume per keyword.

And then if you're interested in coming up with a report based on Moz's keyword rankings specifically for C-level execs, then I highly recommend checking out AJ Kohn's old post which answers that question precisely.

And again, it looks like the new moz analytics will have a solid reporting graph that should cut out some of the work laid out in AJ's post.

1. Google's index may or may not be reflective of the pages you actually have on your site—likely the latter, hence the difference between the pages on your site and the pages in Google's index. Right now, the v1 subdomain times out, so no crawlers will be able to do anything with it. The www domain only has about 250 or so URLs.

2. Sotheby's website blocks all but a few crawlers, which is why Moz would not crawl any pages. http://www.sothebys.com/robots.txt

I would suggest using your own crawling software to untangle these issues. If you aren't familiar with Screaming Frog, you should check it out.

I'll try to keep this clear...

I am working with an company based in Germany, they own company.com/de and company.com/en, and that's how they are currently structuring their domains. They also own companyusa.com that they really want to show up in USA only.

They want to keep company.com/en for England/english speaking Europe and company.com/de for their German audience in Germany.

They are wanting us to optimize/SEO for companyusa.com, and they want that URL to show up as the top google search in the USA for their "company" keyword. What is showing up now is www.company.com/en 1st in Google because it's been around longer and it has more domain authority.

What is the best practice for us optimize companyusa.com so that it is the top dog in the USA while not messing up the other domains? Should we merge? Subfolders all around?

Thanks for all the input.

There is a client we have, John Smith, and he owns www.johnsmith.com. John Smith is also known as John A. Smith, Johnny Smith, and Jonathan Smith. He wants to show up in the top 3 for all his variations, but the catch is he doesn't want his variations anywhere on his www.johnsmith.com

Does anyone have any tips or ideas on how we could do that better?

Thank you

I don't want to give the links just because this is for a proposal, but yes, they have the same keywords.

It's almost like the three domains are market based. Dallasredcars.com, ftworthredcars.com, and austinredcars.com, so regional for the same products.

I need some help figuring out if I should combine multiple domains or if I should let them be separate?

I have domain1.com, domain2.com, and domain3.com. Well, domain1.com owns domain2.com and domain3.com. And currently domain1.com points to domain2.com and domain3.com from the homepage. They are going through some changes at their business, and now the option is on the table to combine the domains or still let them be separate as long as they link to each other.

What is the best way to handle this and are there more things I should go through before making a decision? None of them have a ton of links to them, and they aren't super robust, but would just to have some advice.

Thanks a lot

We have 2 sites that will have duplicate content (e.g., one company that sells the same products under two different brand names for legal reasons). The two companies are in different geographical areas, but the client will put the same content on each page because they're the same product.

What is the best way to handle this?

Thanks a lot.

Wow, that easy. I was everywhere INSIDE the campaign. Thanks a lot.

I have tried to go in and add a logo to a report on one of my campaigns, but I can't see where to do that anywhere.

Thanks.

How does Google handle punctuation of keywords within its search?

If I have three keywords together, but on the site there is a question mark between them, does Google ignore the question mark? Or should I think of a new way of writing the content so Google likes it more?

And would this apply with articles (a, the, etc) and prepositions such as (in, of, etc.)?

Thanks a lot.
