Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We are heavily involved in the Automotive industry. I can speak from that vertical.

Very rarely (we have never) would you find same brand in same market but you will find competing brands. This is never an issue with us as we usually qualify search with product ("Toyota Camry service" vs "Honda Accord service) and geo.

In cases where the clients wants to focus on generic terms such as "new car" we would advise against that as its too broad a term - which helps us to avoid your valid concern. Our clients get much better results when they focus on their Primary Market Area

If I did run across your described scenario, ethically the only option is to only service the one client unless they were very specific in their focus areas (branding, non-local etc)

I need the SERP data found in the Keyword Difficulty research tool each week for a search phrase. We are not tracking any specific URL - just really need the SERPS page 1 for the term weekly.

Is there a way to have this report sent to use each week automatically? We have RSS feeds for the search but the end result is not visually appealing.

If not this, does anyone know of any service that could provide this?

Thanks

I had this issue for the longest time. We would follow all the suggested fixes yet the problem would keep happening.

Worked with the Moz help team for some time to find a solution.

I was told that the API to GA had some "limits".

I believe there could only be 25 calls for the google account. Once you hit the 26th, the first one would loose the connection. Which is what you are seeing with that Moz error message.

Sorry this is not the best explanation, I am not very technical.

What we ended up doing was creating a new dedicated Moz GA account for each 20 URLs (so we had a bit of wiggle room) we were monitoring and made sure nothing else hit the GA api for those URLs within that account. Havent had a disconnect issue since.

Hopefully this helps you as well.

Hello all

I realize this data is probably impossible to get but thought I would take a chance and ask.

Anyone know of a way to see ranking for a URL for a keyword before being setup in Rank Tracker? Would love to see how a URL moved up and down over time prior to tracking.

I know its a long shot but if anyone knows its the Moz community!

Have a great day people.

Hello all.

What would be some of the best practices or good resources on site redesign while maintaining inbound links?

We would hate to have the natural, organic links to the site we have generated over the past 3 years to all of a sudden become broken.

The domain is not changing but the URL structure very well may. For example, www.domain dot com/blog/postabouttopic which has many inbound links may move to www.domain dot com/news/blog/postabouttopic

Is it a matter of simply using 301 redirects from the old pages to the new pages? Is there any issues to be aware of when having hundreds of 301 redirects?

Is there a best practice? A good site that explains this in detail?

Thank you for your time! Have a great day!

Was just wondering the same thing myself. Pretty stuff but could not find a way to print.

And please tell me us it will be branded if we are setup that way currently.

Thanks
