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!

SEOMoz ranking reports inaccurate for Google?
So I have notice that, at least for some searches, the rankings shown in SEOMoz's ranking reports are meaningless. I assume this is due to blended search results including local search. For example, I have a client, who is ranked 3rd overall for one of his most important search terms, but his ranking is based upon his local result (there are 2 organic search results and then he is the first local result). The SEOMoz report shows him being ranked 12th. Anyway I count down to the 12th ranked site (including local search, not including local search) his site is not there. In fact the only place it is in the top 3 pages is in the local result. As a local marketing consultant, almost all of my clients are looking to be found for "Jackson Hole" this or that, or "Jackson, WY" this or that, so this is a pretty critical issue to me. I would appreciate feedback. Thanks!

SEOMoz Q&A having some issues?
Apologies if this has been asked. I was browsing Q&A and got a Ruby error page, reloaded and everything was fine. However a bunch of the topics are kind of messed up, and it looks like a chunk of them are missing now. For example my 'questions I've answered' section of My Q&A only has the newest question and the oldest question, and when I sort the SEOMoz Tools category by newest I get one recent post and then the next one is from November of last year. You guys having database problems?

All my opensiteexplorer params are far higher than my competitor. On the exact keyword I'm ranked #3, wikipedia ranked #2, he's ranked #1. Cant figure out why is that. I've tried copying his links profile, linking from same site he does. Had partial success but my links profile is far larger in terms of quality and content. My page is graded "A" by seomoz tools. Attached my OpenSiteExplorer screenshot. I'm wondering what are your thoughts on that. Regards,

Historical error info on SEOMoz?
Is it possible to get a report of errors that were on a site back in April? Does SEOMoz keep that data available? There was a big decline in the number of errors on one of my sites and I'm trying to go back and see what it was. --Steve

How do folks present the SEOmoz reports to clients?
Hi, How are people presenting the SEOmoz reports to clients? Do you just export to PDF and email it? Cut and paste items inside some other kind of personalized format? Add adobe style sticky notes to explain things on top of the reports? Or something else that is wonderful and endearing to your clients? Thank you.
