Is SEOMoz better than Traffic Travis ?
-
I've been trying both programs for the free trial and I'm not sure which one is exactly better.
they seem to me that both give a similar asepct of research, However SEOMOZ seems to be updating more frequntly. On the seconnd hand, traffic travis is way more cheaper only $97 one time fee as apposed to SEOMoz $100 per month
Could someone convince me SEOMOZ is the better tool?

Its a travesty to compare moz with small software like Travis .
Moz has
- Backlink checker with world known metrics PA(Page Authority) ,DA (Domain authority).
- Web based power which is highly greater than the software one.
- Rank checker and so many tools that Travis cannot even imagine.
Now let's see what traffic Travis can work for
- one-time payment and few number of tools.
- Way way cheaper then monthly subscription and not even $ 97 as you said but it's available for around $ 37 on some coupon sites like http://www.discountmycart.com/
so it is quite funny to compare both!

Thanks for the reply. I would have to agree that the caliber of the data from SEOmoz seems to be much more credible to other platforms, such as Traffic Travis. Really the only point I'm caught up on is the Keyword Difficulty rating as its the only major point of discrepancy. For the time being I will leave my trust with SEOmoz, but it would be interesting to know why the two tools are so disparet when it comes to rating keyword difficulty.
Agreed on all points regarding the quality of both SEOmoz tools and its awesome community. Thanks again for taking time to respond.

I can't speak much about the qualities of Traffic Travis, in part because I know of no serious SEO that uses it. This isn't a judgement of the software, but has more to do with experience level. SEOmoz is geared for intermediate and advanced SEOs (and beginners who are willing to learn - all the resources are here) Whereas as Traffic Travis seems more aimed at the beginner SEO or those not able to invest as much time and/or resources into the process. (Just guessing here)
The last thing I want to do is "sell" SEOmoz or disparage a competitor, but there are a lot of things that SEOmoz offers that I don't think can be matched by a one-time desktop software purchase. These include:
- SEOmoz Metrics - Gold Standard here. Moz metrics are used (and resold) by more companies than any other SEO metrics on the market. And metrics like Domain Authority are correlated with rankings closer to anything else. An SEOmoz membership gives you full access to Open Site Explorer and complete backlink analysis - the same data that other companies buy direct from SEOmoz.
- Weekly crawls and reporting by rogerbot - the SEOmoz crawler. This is one of the most complete and easy to use SEO site audits around.
- Learning resources. This includes monthly webinars, full access to the PRO Q&A and more.
- Special resources like full access to the PRO only Directory List
- A full suite of SEO tools, including complete access to the MozBar.
- And a kick-ass community.
Over 50% of SEOmoz members stay 18 months or longer, and many have stayed for years.
At the end of the day, I always encourage folks to try the Free Trial (now it sounds like I'm selling, damnit). But it's a no-risk affair and you'll probably learn more in one week than you have in the past few months.

good morning! My team uses both seomoz and Traffic Travis. We are having a similar issue of trying to figure out which one is best for what task. The main issue seems to be consistency. When we run the same keyword through traffic travis and seomoz., TT says the keyword is easy and seomoz tells us its difficult. This leaves us scratching our heads a bit. Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and good luck.

Traffic Travis?!.... More like Traffic Travesty!
Joking aside, nothing in my opinion comes close to what SEOMoz offer; the tools, linkscape/open site explorer use and knowledge available from the team and forum is light years ahead of what you can get elsewhere (plus the community is nice).
SEOMoz are at the forefront of new tools and ways of doing SEO, and this coupled with the tool-set and knowledge base is what you're paying your $99 a month for. Traffic Travis only seems to offer a more limited tool set without any automation features.
SEOMoz all the way!

Are the SEOMoz queries banned by Google?
Hi: In our company, we have notified that Google is banning our IP due to massive queries under the same IP. It is caused mainly by local softwares installed in PCs or some plugins of Firefox. We think that SEOmoz don´t causes this due to its tool uses its own IP and servers, not ours. We would like your opinion about this. Thank you,

How accurate is SEOMoz's keyword analysis tool?
For the most part, SEOMoz's keyword analysis tool has been in line with other tools like Adwords keyword tool with regards to competitive level. I have just encountered a keyword though that a client may choose to compete on that seems to be far off. keyword phrase: online math games Adwords competitive level: Low SEOMoz competitive level: 80 This seems like a sizeable difference (I know the two compare all results vs first page authority's, but typically they are in line with each other). With other related keywords for the industry in question, SEOMoz and Adwords seem to be in line. This one just got me thinking. I know the SEOMoz score is a sign of the strength of the top results and that the "low" score from Adwords may be a sign of much weaker results on the following pages (with a higher number of weaker pages vs fewer high authority outliers). **Question: ** How accurate is SEOMoz keyword analysis tool and what other keyword analysis tools are you guys/gals using that you like? I have tried others but many provide duplicate insights.

Can Google see all the pages that an seomoz crawl picks up?
Hi there My client's site is showing around 90 pages indexed in Google. The seomoz crawl is returning 1934 pages. Many of the pages in the crawl are duplicates, but there are also pages which are behind the user login. Is it theoretically correct to say that if a seomoz crawl finds all the pages, then Google has the potential to as well, even if they choose not to index? Or would Google not see the pages behind the login? And how come seomoz can see the pages? Many thanks in anticipation! Wendy

SEOMoz Link Analysis Not Updating?
Hi there, I am wondering why the Link Analysis in SEOMoz takes so long to recognise new back-links. I have had the same figures showing for months when I know that I have added a lot more backlinks that are showing in my Google WebMaster account and I have also proven exist by searching directly in Google's search engine. How often does the Link Analysis section update itself? Are these figures worth following at all or are they useless? Thanks!

SEOMoz site crawlers created an issue for our servers
I have set up a number of campaigns with your pro tool. Unfortunately we have 7 sites on our server and our IT dept have said that we had an issue when your site crawlers visited for several sites at the same time - is there any way that I can retain the campaigns but have the sites crawled on request rather than automatically?
