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!

I can't believe you can't track and compare your rankings with a page of a website and not the domain. If you are competing against a lot of high authority sites like a wiki or cnet.com, amazon etc you need to know what you need to do to beat that page not the domain.
Going to have to track rankings with a different piece of software.

looks like I'm limited to www.competitor.com - http://competitor.com doesn't work. Though it's quite an important difference regarding duplicate content.

I think you are limited to a root domain or subdomain and not specific directories. You can only have www.competitor.com or subdomain.competitor.com.

How to Combine the Moz Keyword Difficulty Tool with Google Keyword Planner for LOCAL (city/town) Results
Hi there, I wish that Moz would show local (city/town) results in their Keyword Difficulty Tool. But they don't, so here's my question: I'm trying to rank for keywords "interior design" in a local geographic area in the US. When using Google KWP, I'm selecting all the towns I want to rank in, and searching against the keywords INTERIOR DESIGN. The search volume appears to be approx. 370 a month. What I'm not sure about is whether I should instead (or in addition to), be searching for INTERIOR DESIGN (CITY), and leaving the geographic selection as US. What is most accurate? OR...should I search for INTERIOR DESIGN (CITY) in Moz's Keyword tool? How do you guys do it?

Page Ranking by URL / Keyword
Needing to know how to find out the page rank of a URL that is NOT within the top 50 or top 100. Need to know that specific page's rank, not what our overall site's ranking for the keyword is. Can't seem to find any tool that goes beyond the top 100. Any ideas?

Rankings reporting showing inaccurate improve/decline/unchanged numbers
Our rankings report is showing inaccurate numbers for the improved, declined, and unchanged summary, both in the email and on the site. According to the added up numbers, we have 315 keywords in the campaign, but that's not possible as we only have 172 set up for it. The total for this section is correct, it just doesn't add up.

DA/PA against PR
Hi, Very quick question. If the DA/PA of a website is 70/80+ I would assume the PR would be 5+. I have come across this DA/PA 70/80+ and PR 2. First is the DA/PA not connected in anyway to PR from the metrics they take into account? Secondly which one would you go for if you had to choose one: 1. DA/PA 60+ and PR 2 2. DA/PA 30+ and PR 4 Thanks

On Page Report Card... with or w/o local modifiers?
Hey all! So I am curious how you recommend using the "on page report card" (which is really helpful) along with the concept of local modifiers. IE, here is a term I am going after: business forums but really I care about a specific location: business forums | Greensboro NC So the word I hear is typically to do your keyword research & page optimization FOR the primary term, but then tack on your local modifiers after. So which do you run reports on? Probably both is the best answer, eh? Obviously my local sites won't have a shot at ranking nationally/internationally for such a broad term as "business forums", especially with some monster sites out there with some serious clout. This is more of a best practices question. Thanks dudes.
