      We have a site coming into beta next week. Playing around with SEO Moz, I had trouble getting the keywords to rank at all. Was this because the site is entirely https?

      If yes, what else can SEO Moz NOT do if the site is all https?

      Thanks!

        I'm a bit confused what you mean here by indexing your keywords- to track rankings for your new site, you configure a campaign and then tell the tool which keywords you want to track. The tool will then track in the search engines you choose your rankings for the keyword. If your site is https, this shouldn't make a difference. It will matter if you're ranking in the search engines for https - but if your site is ranking in the search engines, this shouldn't impact your seomoz rank tracking.

        For Open Site Explorer, they will track the links and anchor text pointing to your site. If the target page is https instead of http, this also shouldn't make a difference.

        In short, others will correct me if i'm wrong, but seomoz should work if your site is https.

          Hi Mark,

          I tried using the SeoMoz Rank Tracking tool to see what level we are at naturally for a keyword. I wasn't expecting a good result... Unfortunately there was NO result. The Keyword Tracking tool said it was unable to produce a result.

          I'm not at all sure, but maybe this is because the site is https?

            Is this site live yet? Can SEOMoz access it? That might be a problem. Also, if you want to see the top results for the keyword and the competitive nature of the SERP, I highly recommend the keyword difficulty tool - it rocks! http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/keyword-difficulty
