Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello (awesome) Moz team! Why can't I change the "Timeframe" to show more dates, or filter from a specific date that I choose? I would like to see data & graphs show for three months, or four weeks, or custom etc... Is there a way, and maybe I missed it?

Thank you

Is there a way in my MOZ to compare how we rank against some of our competitors for "specific" keywords?

I know in OSE I can perform a Link Metric comparison... but I want to actually do the same, but listing "keywords".

Thank you

Thank you both for the responses... I guess it was just a matter of time in my case. It looks like the keywords crawl/report comes in a few hours "after" the initial crawl email from Moz... not sure why, but about 15 minutes after I posted this question, I received the email titled "New Rankings and On-Page Reports Ready" that included the keyword rankings!

Thanks again

Thanks got it!

This is the second time I have this issue... I get an email from Moz saying my report is done... but I have NO clue how to find it under my account, and there is no link on the email

Please help.

Hi, is it possible to stop Moz from crawling a site at the server level? Not that I am looking to do this or anything, but here's why I'm asking.

I have been crawling a site that is managed (currently by 2 parties), and I noticed that this week pages crawled went from 80 (last week) to 1 page!! I know, what? See my image attached... and the issues all went to zero "0"....!

So is it possible that someone can't prevent Moz from crawling the site at the server level? I checked the robots.txt file on the site, but nothing there. I'm curious.

Thank you guys, these were very helpful!

Any other suggestions/help on this? In my last post, I explained a little more in depth what the specific issue was. Please advice, thank you in advance.

We moved a website over to a new domain name. We used 301 redirects to redirect all the pages individually (around 150 redirects).

So my question is, when should we just kill the old site completely and just redirect (forward/point) the old domain over to the new one?

Thanks Keri, I figured that

Btw, you guys are great here at Moz!

Thanks Federico for the reply... the Company is still the same, but instead of just offering capentry services, we started offering full home improvement services... so we redirected our old (capentry specific) website to our new (home improvement).

So in the 1st 4.5 weeks the new home improvement site started to perform well for home-improvement related keywords... but after the redirect (which brought a lot of branded & carpentry traffic) the home-improvment keywords started fading away... for the past 2 weeks they have been non-existent.

We haven't done anything devious or sneaky to the site. There are no penalties or anything like that.

Could it be that because we redirected the carpentry traffic, that it thinks "well maybe I should just rank for carpentry"?...

We don't want to undo the 301 because it is the companys website, and we even through the trouble of cleaning up old content and moved over everything accordingly. We ended up with over 140 manually created 301s

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thank you

Hi Federico... I didn't do a good job at explaining in more detail, but we are doing ongoing SEO... we just ran into a specific problem that we never encountered before, so we were looking for someone that had technical SEO experience that would be able to help us.

Having said that, I completely agree that every site should perform SEO on a continuous basis (i.e. monthly contract or some type of internal SEO initiative - or a combination of both).

I need to hire an SEO specialist technician to take a look at a few things under the hood that I can't seem to figure out... is this the right place to ask for this type of paid help?

Hi everyone. So we decided to re-brand a website starting with a fresh domain and fresh website (new everything).

The first 4 weeks the site was performing really well and started bringing organic traffic for several targeted keywords (small amounts, but something).

Around 5 weeks later, we decided to perform a 301 Redirect from an older site we had that really hadn't changed since 2007. As soon as we performed the 301, we started loosing ground on the keywords that were starting to perform. I may help to mention that we were targeting different keywords on the new site, versus the keywords/industry that were targeted on the older site... because we were focusing on another but similar industry.

Now, 10 weeks later we are still not showing up for the keywords that we were starting to make headway on in the first four weeks of starting.... any ideas why? suggestions?

The 301's were performed properly. We verified them, and we check Google WMT for any additional ones that may still be out there, but try to fix them as soon as possible. We have grown the site from just a few pages to over 60+ pages in the last 2 months with unique and fresh content targetting those keywords...

Thank you in advance

Hi, this was very helpful! Is there anything else besides bad links that one should be concerned with that could potentially hurt the ranks? I'm using the OSE to keep track of newly discovered backlinks. Although our old-SEO company hasn't threaten to do such a thing, they've shown signs of being a bit shady in the past... so I rather monitor for the next year or so (to be on the safe side). Thank you
