Welcome to the Q&A Forum

That's good news. Right now the way my company solves this is by creating multiple campaigns, each one being identical except that three different competitors are listed. Not ideal.

Okay, sort of a meta question here... My company, a global test preparation company, is looking into new ways to deliver online course content (both pre-recorded and live streaming). Around the office we have looked at dozens of examples of companies that do video presenting or teaching, and then I realized that I watch a great example of high-quality online video every week: Whiteboard Fridays! They look and sound fantastic!

Moz team, what are you willing to share re: the setup you use? I'm looking for specific direction about lighting, sound, and equipment. Anything you share would be VERY much appreciated.

Thanks!

No luck, David. Under "Analyze a Keyword" I clicked the "Run a Full SERP Analysis Report" buton on the lower right. About an hour later I got an email saying the report is ready, but it's just a generic email that doesn't take me to the report. I'm now clicking around in my Moz account, and I can't find it anywhere.

Why can't the email link directly to the report?

It was the latter. I looked under the Reports tab in that campaign, and nothing's there.

Blah. Not having a great Moz day.

Another possibly dumb question... I ran a full SERP analysis report and had it emailed to me, but in the email there's no link to the report. I logged back into Moz, but I can't find the report anywhere.

Thanks!

Maybe this is a dumb question, but why is there no login link/button on the home page now?

(See attached image.)

Thanks!

Anyone else want to chime in with a description of the different between follower count and +1 count?

Thanks!

Thanks Adam. If I understand your response correctly, my page could have 5,000 followers but zero +1's, or vice versa?

I just clipped this image from a Google+ Page. These two numbers say that the page has 2,771 followers (in the red box), AND 601 people have this page in a circle. I had always thought that following a page would mean that it's in one of your circles (in which case, the 601 number would actually be equal to or greater than the 2,771 number), but I guess I've had it wrong!

Very sorry if this has been covered multiple times already… I can't find the answer anywhere…

This is a basic question: Is there a difference between someone giving my website a +1 and being counted as a follower on my Google+ page? I run a website and a Google+ page for my brand, and these two things are linked. When someone clicks on the +1 button on my site, does that show up in the count that someone sees in the red box in the upper right corner of my Google+ page? And, when someone comes to my Google+ page and adds me to a circle, is that the same as them clicking the +1 button on my site? Or are these two entirely different things? I feel like the terms are used interchangeably, but I'm not sure if it's because they really are two different things, or if they're really the same.I ask because, when I look at my company's Google+ page, it says "+300" in the upper right, but when I see my website come up in an AdWords ad, it says "[Company Name] has 240 followers on Google+"... Why are these numbers not the same?Thank you!Scott

Hi!

I'm on the Rankings History page, and for more than ten minutes I have seen this message where I should see data on organic visits:

Organic Google traffic for visitors from United States

Loading your graph data. Thank you for your patience…

Loading a sweet graph...

Is this normal? Could there be something wrong with my Google Analytics connection?

Thanks!

P.S. I looked up "loading a sweet graph" in this forum before posting, but didn't find anything.

Ahhh, I get it now. Joel, I read your first message as "click 'Run This Report' weekly," rather than "click 'Run This Report Weekly.'"

Got it now!

Thanks Joel. Ideally we'd be able to tell the tool "I am targeting this keyword with this page, so please only grade it against this keyword," but so be it.

Appreciate your help.

If that page is ranking for more than one term (to be clear, we're not targeting more than one term), then how does the tool choose which one to grade the page on? Does it choose the keyword for which the page ranks higher?

I just wish we could tell the tool what keyword we're targeting with the page, since right now it's guessing incorrectly.

I recommend using the report card tool for your main keywords and only

targeting one keyword per page... Two max.

Just to clarify, it's not that we're trying to target more than one keyword for this page. It's that we're targeting keyword A, but for some reason SEOmoz wants to rank it for keyword B. Not surprisingly, it's giving us an "F" for this keyword (since, as you have recommended, we're being very single-minded about what keywords the page targets). So, the report isn't that useful since it's showing me low grades for keywords that my pages aren't targeting.

Anyway, I appreciate your response. I just wish there were a way to tell the system what keyword we're trying to target with a particular page, rather than the tool pulling a keyword from the list and giving us an unwarranted "F." We've started to ignore the tool because of this.

Thanks Donnie, but that doesn't really answer my question. My problem is that the tool is automatically choosing what keywords to grade each page on, but it's not choosing the keywords I would choose. It's not a matter of me trying to rank for multiple keywords, but of having one keyword in mind for a page when the tool seems to have another in mind.

It's telling me a page is an "F" for a keyword I don't care about, when I know that I'm actually earning an "A" for the keyword that I want. I'd like the report to remember the keyword that I'm targeting, rather than randomly(?) choosing a keyword from my list and assigning a grade.

Apologies if this has already been covered 100 times!

Last month I set up a new campaign, and so far the On-Page Optimization tool has only crawled and graded three of my pages so far. I assume it takes time for more pages to be covered?

But, here's my real question: I see that the tool is giving my pages grades based on certain keywords, but the tool itself seems to be deciding which keyword to use in grading each page. To use a made-up example, my example has a page about leather gloves, a page about wool mittens, and a page about cotton mittens. The last one is supposed to be optimized for the keyword "cotton mittens," but the tool is grading it based on how well it's optimized for "wool mittens."

I can go into the drop-down at the top of the page and change the keyword that the page is graded on, and that gives me a new grade, but only for that instance. The next week, the tool is back to giving the page an F for "wool mittens."

Is that because the tool decides that "wool mittens" is the keyword for which the page has the best chance of ranking, no matter what my intentions are? is there any way to permanently tell the tool that I want the page to target "wool mittens" as its main keyword?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks Kyle. I've actually had this account for more than three years, but it's a brand new campaign, which must be why it's taking so long.

I started running a SERP analysis report two days ago, and it still says it's "in progress." It is 5:40 PM Pacific on August 7 as I type this, and I started running the report on: August 05, 2012 10:03 (copied and pasted from the report).

Is this normal?

Thanks!

Apologies if this has already been answered a million times and/or if I'm posting this in the wrong place... I did look, but couldn't find the answer anywhere...

I just realized that all this time I have been tracking www.mydomain.com in my campaign for a long time now, while I should probably have been tracking *.mydomain.com. I wanted to change this, but it looks like I can't. If I have to set up a whole new campaign, with all of the same keywords, competitive sites to track, etc., that will take forever.

Why can't I just change it so that my campaign starts tracking *.mydomain.com instead of www.mydomain.com from now on?

Thank you!
