FB Shares in SEOmoz Keyword Analysis Tool
-
Hello everybody,
I'm quite confused in how to understand "FB Shares" in SEOmoz Keyword Analysis Tool Report. As You may know, this section is under report's "Social Signals" category.
Does this number counts whole FB shares of some website links by ALL FB users? Or is it a number of some website FB account posts? Some clearance would be very helpful..
The same question applies to other social signal reports: Tweets, Google+ shares.
Thank You for your answer!
Happy New Year!

If you are using a 3rd party social media company like ShareThis or AddThis, it should be a little inaccurate. I know what you are talking about because I have a few hundred FB Likes on my site, but SEOmoz shows different. I think it gets it's information from facebook's Open Graph.

Francisco, thank You for your answer!
I do understand what the share is, but it confused me when I saw major inaccuracy in SEOmoz report and some FB account. Maybe it is just matter of update.
I will mark this question as answered.

I don't totally understand your question, but I'll give it a shot.
Go to the bottom of this page and click the Facebook button: http://www.shipoverseas.com/us/ship-car/latin-america/shipping-car-to-puerto-rico.html
That button is a "share" button. "You" are "sharing" that page on "your" facebook wall.
Now if you copy that URL and paste it on your wall, you are also "sharing" that URL.
Sharing is NOT the number of posts I make on the company's wall. That's kind of like tweeting on your own wall. Tweets on other peoples wall is counted, but you can't tweet yourself and have it count. So if I tweet a URL from your website, then you get a tweet in SEOmoz. If I share your url on my FB, you get a share. If I like your URL on Facebook. you get a like.

How to Refresh the Rankings Tool?
Is there a way to manually refresh the "Rankings" part of a campaign? I know about the Rank Tracker tool but didn't have a lot of keywords set up there. So I need to refresh the Rankings in the Campaign to know exactly which rankings have dropped in the past few hours... any way to do that?

Keyword Difficulty Tool not working?
I just started using SEOMoz and I was running some searches with the Keyword Difficult Tool. It was going swell until about 10 hours ago when I begun getting this message: "Uh oh... there was a temporary problem gathering Analysis data for your request. Sorry about that! We're actively looking into resolving these intermittent issues, but in the meantime, try submitting your request again in 20 minutes. Thank you!" I gave it time to no avail. It has been about 10 hours since then and I can't KDT at all. Am I doing something wrong or is it on the SEOMoz side? Everything else works just fine.

About NOFOLLOW tag for SEOmoz analysis
Hi all, Another issue while trying to resolve all the duplicate content SEOmoz reports to me. May be some of you guys can help: I have a dynamic error page on our website, generated in case of error, that can happen on many urls. Of course that one should not be indexed. I added the following tag on the HEADER: name="robots" content="NOODP,NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW" /> To me this should prevent from having this page indexed, but also from having this page reported by SEOmoz analyzer as duplicate content. Any hints?

Competitive Domain Analysis Question
When looking at the Competitive Domain Analysis I noticed that I am the only one amongst my competitors that does not have a link from DMOZ. The problem is, I do have a link from them. When you search for my site on dmoz.org you can find my site and it has been that way for quite a while. Anyone know any possible reasons it may be doing this?
