Keyword Ranking

[PGD2011]

Soooooo, let's just say that I put a lot of keywords into the ranking tracker. Is there an easy way to reduce this list without having to go in word by word and pause or delete them? Like is there a bulk upload type of system?

Thanks!

Yes you must first start a new campaign with your website. Once you have the campaign you can add multiple keywords by placing commas or spacing them one keyword per line. SEOmoz users get to set up 5 campaigns and run reports on a total of 300 Keywords.

Thanks Donnie!

But I don't want to lose my history for the keywords. Any other ideas?

Your question has two parts to it really.

Is there an easy way to reduce this list without having to go in word by word and pause or delete them?

Unfortunately if you have started a campaign and want to keep the historic ranking data of certain keywords whilst removing others then you have to manually remove the keywords you no longer want. Otherwise you will lost the historic data.

Like is there a bulk upload type of system?

There isn't a bulk upload option but there is a way you can simplify the task. As Donnie says, you can upload a comma separated list of keywords. If you are downloading a list of keywords from google to upload or you have a list of keywords on separate lines, just put the words into a text editor and use regex to replace line breaks with a comma (replace \n with ,). Then you can simply copy and paste into SEOmoz.

If you do not need the historic data then you can just follow this method.

Hope that helps,

Adam.

Thanks!

I had a feeling there was no easy way to do this without losing my history.

Although you cannot keep the historic data in the system if you delete the keywords, you can export your entire ranking history to csv for reference.
