Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Derek, Thanks for reaching out. You can still review crawl diagnostic data within Moz Analytics. All you need to do is head over to the Search page and then click on the Crawl Diagnostics tab. http://screencast.com/t/qXrAnG0lzx I recommend heading over to our help hub for a detailed walkthrough of the app and tools. Hope this helps and have a great day! Best, Sam Moz Helpster

So, i came up with an alternate method that did not require a new tool.  I used the Search Queries report from Google Webmaster Tools and exported all keywords that garnered at least 1 impression in the past 90 days.  I then did a VLOOKUP in Excel against my keyword list for Average Position from the exported GWMT report.  Anything that did not produce a result can either be assumed to have a position greater than 100 or non-existent, which are essentially the same thing and where I need to improve my site content. The only thing I question is if the Search Queries report in GWMT includes paid search results and rolls that data into the average positions.  That would skew my findings tremendously.  Anyone have any idea on that?

Hey Ken, Thanks for following up. You can add a crawl delay for rogerbot in your robots.txt file to limit how quickly we make requests to the site. I would just recommend that you don't add a crawl delay higher than 10 because that can cause us to be unable to crawl the site in a reasonable amount of time to complete a full crawl. I hope that helps! Chiaryn

Thank You Tim! Do you know if it tracks kws for mobile version as well. I am asking because I have a client who has a desktop version of website and m.example.com version and somehow the mobile one doesn't show any kw rankings? Thanks

Hi Jason Glad you are liking the community so far! I would recommend starting with this post I did for Moz to help answer exactly these questions about WordPress and SEO: http://moz.com/blog/setup-wordpress-for-seo-success When you're starting out and have just a few tags (6 isn't much) it's not a huge deal, but for some sites as they grow it turns into 300+ tags without planning on it - then it's a little more of an issue. Not something that would cause a penalty per se, but just not great for the site to have those extra pages indexed and existing because they don't generally add any value (they are often similar to the posts themselves). I would use maybe 3-4 tags tops for any blog post. They are little detailed words to describe the content. Additionally, tags only have a utility if used as navigation in the site somehow: either a list of popular tags in the sidebar or sometimes you can click on the tags for each post at the bottom of the post. Lots of people try to make tags to rank in search engines but I have found this to be a bad strategy. In general, I recommend people to noindex tags as shown in the article. With the Yoast SEO plugin for WordPress you should also "noindex subpages of archives". Categories - I would create 5-7 categories that you will file all blog posts into - and only use those and don't let categories grow (don't keep adding new categories). You can customize your category pages with this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-custom-category-pages/ - and indexing them is fine. Good luck! -Dan

Hey there, I took a look at your account and was able to export several different reports without issue. If you're still having trouble can you email in to help@moz.com with more information so we can investigate further. Thanks! Joel.

Hi Sarah, My gut tells me the truth is a combination of the two tools. It does look like a highly competitive keyword from an organic point of view. The top 3 ranking results are the National Institute of Health and Wikipedia - all of which would be hard to beat. But it's not a highly commercial term - so I bet the CPC would be lower for PPC than many other comparative terms. That said, you can still win with a long-tail SEO strategy. It does require work and effort. But the idea is you would create lots of high quality content around this keyword theme and try to rank for potentially 100s of variations and similarly themed content. This strategy, when done with sincere effort, often succeed against the most competitive of terms. That said, it does require a lot of time and effort and energy. If you're looking for quick results, PPC may be the way to go for you. Keep in mind as soon as you stop paying for PPC, the returns stop immediately, while good content can drive traffic for years after the initial investment. (if it sounds like I'm preaching, I'm really not - I actually run PPC ads all the time when appropriate) Hope this helps! Best of luck.

By the way Hugh, if you think the broken link reported by Moz isn't actually there, then you can contact them about a possible glitch here: help@moz.com

Hi Matthew, Thanks for the question. There are a lot of changes and improvements that were already rolled out with Moz Analytics. Some of the more prominent ones include: A more robust custom reporting platform A new integrated brand & mentions section that allows you to track mentions of branded terms, competitor mentions, and industry conversations. More integrated link data with link opportunities called out An expanded rankings section A new traffic-focused dashboard showing metrics and progress across your different inbound channels Matt Brown wrote a field guide to the tool soon after launch which provides some more details: http://moz.com/blog/a-field-guide-to-moz-analytics Another addition you might not know about is a new alerts feature as part of Fresh Web Explorer. This allows you to set up email alerts anytime your brand is mentioned in web content that was recently published. It's like Google Alerts, but more robust. All that said, this is a platform that we are very actively working on. A few things that are up and coming in Moz Analytics: Monthly timeframes, which will allow you to see your data broken down by month for higher-level views and comparisons. Better interfaces to gain insights now that so much keyword data is Not Provided A little further out: A new section focused on measuring the effectiveness of published content and finding ways to make your content marketing more effective. We are also focused on making improvements to some of our most popular tools, like Open Site Explorer and Fresh Web Explorer. We went through a period in which our tools were a bit stagnant while we worked to ship the Moz Analytics platform. Not that it's out, we will be shipping new capabilities and features very frequently. If you have specific features you are looking for, I encourage you to add them to our feature request forum. We try to make sure we respond to each request so you have an idea of where it lies in our current priorities. I hope that helps. Let me know if I can supply any more details. Best, Adam

It's still there. You'll find it under the Research Tools menu (click on the "All 12 Research Tools" at the bottom of the drop down. Here's the direct URL: http://moz.com/researchtools/crawl-test

We actually just put this in the navigation so it should be a bit easier to find now.

Thank you for your thoughts Cyrus, Because we only focus on one industry if is easier for us to develop a list of the criteria you mentioned above. I will see about performing a follow-up comment later if I can isolate any sort of influence these types of directories have on our site. Thanks, Chad

We don't have access to AdWords data in an API format.

Hi Ricky, Thanks for the question! Adding goals from GA has always been something we intend to do at some point.  We just need to figure out a way to do it that doesn't duplicate GA and adds some extra data or value. Would we ever add CRO functionality? Maybe one day, but for now we are focused on the top of the funnel - for example I don't see us adding Moz javascript snippets to the page any time soon to track user behaviour. What would you find useful? Where are your pain points around measuring conversion? Thanks, Jon

Sam My bad! I thought I had updated it, but no, I hadn't! Thanks very much. Neil

This is in the product support question, so the OP is actually referring to the Moz Rank Tracker (which is not run on their computer).

Hi, Mike is correct. Your organic search traffic and ranking is for organic keywords only. A way to double check your ranking: download the Moz bar, and when you type a query into Google, you will see a bold number under each result indicatng it's rank in position. You will not see this number next to an ad. Hope that helps!

Hey, Thanks for writing in. That's a broad match usage indicator. So I ran the report and it looks like there are 14 broad keyword uses. When you searched in the page it showed you exact keyword use. I hope that helps. Cheers, Joel.

I'm going to reach out to our vendor to try and resolve the issue. In your experience, what would be the best way to explain this problem to their tech team and try to resolve it?

Hi Mike- yes, this would definitely be included. Thanks! Jon
