Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Its not really an inconsistency from what I can see. If it is we need more info I think. URL specifics or what links you are seeing, etc.. Pertaining to your Google metrics question: Our metrics provided by Linkscape are completely different than Google's data. Especially PR (PageRank), which isn't really used too much anymore or relevant.

Another thing to keep in mind is that this is a lab's tool and isn't really going to be supported(or even used) much.

Hey!

Good question and Mike's answer is partially right. In addition to their awesome turn around for transcriptions, Speechpad is also a great company and we like their values! So we decided to stick with them. Wistia launched their transcription service after we had been using Speechpad for a while, so rather than just jump ship on Speechpad we stuck with them because we think they are cool. We also think Wistia is the coolest ever and have stuck with them and will continue to until the world ends ;).

Hey there,

Our Blogscape tool is going to have intermittent outages. There is no ETA when this will be fixed, because we are using the data to develop a more robust tool set. For now there will be outages and data issues for the stand alone tool, but we think it is worth it. When you see the future blog/freshscape incarnations, we hope you will too. Our apologies for the inconvenience.  For now you can monitor your social media with our Social Analytics in our web app. Check out more info here: http://www.seomoz.org/help/social-analytics

AllaO,

Sorry about the odd crawl activity. I pulled up your campaigns and it looks like something blocked rogerbot from crawling. This could be new redirects or changes in your robots.txt file. If you don't think one of those is the issue get a hold of our support team: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums You can submit a ticket from here.

Best of Luck

Hey John,

Unfortunately you will need to be an admin on their GA profile. So basically you have to sign into the Google account that is an admin on the GA profile, then connect it from your campaign settings. As of now there is no way to use an Adwords MCC to connect it up.

As Harald mentioned here are a  few good guides for this: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/20496381-campaign-setup-and-maintenance      and     https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/20887373-connect-google-analytics

Hope this helps

We got it!

Sorry that Rank Tracker isn't working for you. While at times it works perfectly fine, it does have a problem retrieving rankings sometimes. Because of this, we're going to be completely deprecating Rank tracker from the site in the next few months.

Basically, we're looking to add its best capabilities into our campaign-based rank tracking, and eventually provide you with an integrated tool with everything you need. Rest assured, we'll give you fair warning before we make significant changes.If you haven't tried it lately, check out the campaign-based rank tracking tool. It's got a lot of great stuff:

-Deep historical charts

-Google Analytics traffic correlation

-SERP analysis

-Global matching to automatically find the URLs that rank for your keyword in your campaign

-Auto rank tracking for up to 3 engines

-Competitor rank tracking-Both .csv and .pdf exports

Here's a guide that provides a great overview of the new rankings report capabilities: http://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/20032346-rankings-report.

Also let us know if you rely on Rank Tracker but can't get what you need from the Web App instead: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5CKWL2F. Your input ensures that SEOmoz tools continue to meet your needs in the future, so thanks for sharing!

I hope you're able to get rankings at some point via one of these tools...

Hey there,

Rogerbot doesn't look for rel alts. The bot will follow meta robots, rel canonical (more used way to controlling duplicate content) and 301 redirects. Sorry about the confusion.

Best,

Nick

Hey guys!

Sorry about the delay. We added a new pipeline to make reports collate faster. Unfortunately while we were adding it there was a back up. All the reports should be pushed through very soon (if not already). Thanks for your patience and time.

Hey there! All of our dates will remain on the Pacific Standard timezone. Sorry about that. We are looking to change this in the future, but have no ETA as of now.

Hey! You can set up a campaign under a domain like Example.com then you can also just track a subfolder on that specific domain in another campaign. Just select the "subfolder" option when you set up the campaign and you can track www.example.com/blog.

Hi there,

I'm so sorry that you're running into problems with the Keyword Difficulty tool!

Our engineers are aware of the problem and are working to get it resolved as soon as possible.

It's one of our highest priority fixes and we have a team of people dedicated to bringing the tool back to full functionality.

Please let me know if you have questions!

Hey Neil,

To be honest we don't have anything like that in the pipeline. I think you could track that in Google Analytics and see what IPs are requesting information from your site. It is a good idea. I will drop it in our feature request forum.

Hey Rich!

Thanks for writing in and sorry for the confusion there! It looks like the number that you're looking at in the Web App Competitive Domain Analysis tab is the total amount of links to the entire subdomain, but the number you're looking at in Open Site Explorer is the total amount of links to that page only. Sorry about the ambiguity there! The numbers at the top of OSE all pertain solely to that URL rather than to the whole subdomain or root domain, but you can get information about the whole subdomain or root domain by going here (as an example): http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.seomoz.org/a!metrics. Here's a screenshot of the numbers: http://markup.io/v/djd8djeptg5n. You can also look at all the links going to the sub/root domain by changing the filters in the "Linking Pages" tab.

Hey everyone!

You can track either a root domain or subdomain in our rankings tab. You are going to want to track the domain that is ranking in Google. For instance don't track amazon.com because www.amazon.com is how they appear in SERPS. You can't track directories in rankings for competitors because it is a very narrow view of rankings. We include all directories for the domain you are tracking so it will be automatically pulled in and you will get the directory rankings regardless. Sorry about the confusion. Check out some of our documentation on rankings to get an even deeper look at what we offer: http://www.seomoz.org/help/rankings

Hope this helps!

Hey Q&Aers!

I just wanted to create a discussion thread here to talk solicit some feedback and help with Moz Academy! We want your help coming up with future lessons so we’re getting you the content you need. So, think about what you’d or your team would like to learn from Rand and others at Moz. Let us know!

“So, what is Moz Academy?” you may ask. Well, Moz Academy gives subscribers the power to be better marketers, which will enable them to use Moz’s products with more depth and awesomeness. We want to provide a hub of marketing knowledge that will create a stronger community where people can teach each other while using Academy as a frame of reference. The key to this project is empowering you to kick even more ass than you already do!

If you have any questions about Moz Academy, feedback about lessons, or ideas on a future curriculum please feel free to get involved in the discussion below.

Looking forward to see what everyone comes up with.

I will put that in the feature pipeline! Thanks.

We have plans for both!

Awesome! I actually just spoke with our local expert David Mihm and we have around 9 lessons planned around local. We hope to have them all ready to go around the end of October!
