Track keywords of our competitor
-
Is there a way for us to track the keywords of our competitor and so we can use that to optimize our sites?
-
Not really automate the process. You see there's a lot of possible keywords and we are thinking of focusing first on those keywords that our competitor is using. So in a way getting some ideas on which keywords they are using.
-
I would focus on figuring out what keywords you're targeting (you are an expert for your product after all) and then compare your rankings against your competitors. You can use a tool like Rank Checker. (Though beware when using it as it will search via your profile & IP unless you tweak your search.)

Raventools.com will crawl you site and pick out the words that repetedly occur on your site and then the rankings for those. Thats pretty close to knowing the rank i'd say.
Semrush does the same for adwords as that might show witch words they ar trying to rank for.
But like I said, I would'nt do that since it might not be the words you really want to rank for.

You can't go like: automate the process that you get keywords where your competitor ranks for. Somebody should build a tool for that :0
You can go like: see what pages your competitor has optimized, how he structured his site, see where he gets his links from and with what anchor text and go from there.
And of course you can use the keywords you want to rank on and see where your competitor ranks for those keywords.

You can, but I would'nt recommend you do that. You should find out witch keywords konverts on YOUR site and that analyse that data in google keyword tool to find out witch keywords have the most searches.
Go for the words that converts!

Hi There, 1- Does MoZ provide the data on “which keyword searchers are searching in a particular market”, so that I can make a better decision regarding my own keywords?If MoZ does not do this what other best tool is out there in market for this particular purpose? 2- Suppose I decide some keywords for my site and start doing optimization for them.

If MoZ does not do this what other best tool is out there in market for this particular purpose? 3- Does Moz give "data on competitors keyword activity also"? If MoZ does not do this what other best tool is out there in market for this particular purpose? Hope somebody with concrete knowledge and experience will enlighten me. Cheers Tanveer

My Moz domain authority fell last week but so did all 3 of my competitors. What could cause that?
As a loyal Moz Pro subscriber I track my site's authority, trust and links against 3 similar competitors. Last week my authority fell from 61 to 60 but all 3 competitors saw a drop in their authority that week too. Was the Moz domain authority calculation changed? Did anyone else see a drop or has something odd happened to just our market? Any ideas? Not sure if this is something I should address or just shrug and ignore. Cheers

What is the easiest way to track historical ranking across keywords?
I could not find a way to look at past data dynamically via the SEOmoz interface which would be an amazing feature. For example, people able to change the time period like in Google Analytics to see past results. Has someone developed an excel template to keep track of this data historically if this cannot be done within SEOmoz itself?

Anyone know how/where to get keyword yield ratio?
I'm trying to incorporate keyword yield ratio (the ratio of keywords to pages yielding search traffic) in my seo report. I want to be able to compare on a monthly basis the percentage ratio of keywords to a landing page yielding search traffic. So for example, in July we might have 5 keywords that earned a click to landing page A. But in September, the number of keywords grew to 8 keywords that earned a click to landing A. I would like to be able to report monthly on the % ratio growth of number of keywords to landing pages that yield search traffic. Aim is to grow # of keywords per page... Is there a way I can get this data through seomoz tools or google analytics? Thanks, Gemma

Anybody done/seen anything like this in a G spreadsheet? Cheers Jamie

Keyword ranking - authority information
How can you explain that a website (not mine) appears on 1st place in Google (on the Keyword Difficulty Tool/Ranking Analysis) but the Page Authority, Page Linking Root Domains, Domain Authority, and Root Domain Linking Root Domains are much lower than the other websites on the list. Even when running the On-Page Report Card, this website gets grade F comparing to the other (including mine) websites that get better grades. I just want to understand which criteria I'm missing that can explain why a website appears on first place when it seems it's not well optimized. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

How many keywords can I look at at once in keyword difficulty tool?
Can I do like 15 at once? I'm also looking at a way to export all the data from multiple keywords in one view, it seems I can only export individual keywords. Is there a better seomoz tool to accomplish this?
