Campaign Update Notification Anomaly and some misc questions re Moz Analytics
-
Hi
I received an email late last night (GMT) saying one of my campaigns had updated yet looking at the campaign online says last updated on the 13th ? Normally my campaigns have fully updated for the week by Wednesday latest.
Other Notifications & Misc Queries:
A Key Words on-page score has increased from 36 to 96 (these used to be letters, has grading changed ?) yet no on-page work has been carried out on this particular page for many months so how can it change so radically, is it just that Moz crawler has only just taken note of it ?
When is the on-page opportunities section going to be complete/fixed (as in include a KW) i asked about this soon after it was launched but still lacks the all important kw to give it meaning/a useful tool. Am i right in thinking that until it includes the kw its totally meaningless ?
When clicking Question Category (below) i cant change slection after clicking a radio button it cant be un-clicked, is this prob my side or yours ?
All Best

Hi Jordan,
The campaign seems to have updated now in part only, on the dashboard but in search section still previous weeks date with some modules empty, ill email help@moz
Re On-Page Opportunities within 'Insights' - according to my understanding this module is completely meaningless without a keyword to give it context so, if i am correct just wandering when its going to be fixed (as in the keyword the rank relates to is actually displayed so we can see which is the opportunity keyword ?
Although I think Jeremy @MOz may be looking into this now as per my comment and his replies in this thread: https://moz.com/community/q/new-on-page-reports-launching-today-in-moz-analytics

Hi Dan!
With respect to the campaign updates, I'm certainly happy to help get that sorted out, but I'm afraid that I'll need a bit more info in order to investigate. Would you be able to send an email to help@moz.com with some background on which campaign you were seeing this for?As far as the On-Page Optimization changes go, I'd say that it has to do with the new grading scale, rather than the crawler missing elements previously. Along with swapping over to a numerical score, the list of factors has changed, as well as the weighting of each factor. So, I believe that the different scores that you're seeing are simply comparing the new rubric to the old rubric.
I'm not totally sure what you're referring to on the topic of on-page opportunities, but any clarification you can provide would be very helpful!
My question submission form looks to be functioning normally, so I'm inclined to think that it could be a browser issue on your side.

Whilst this question has been commented on/helpfully answered in part, i would still appreciate an official answer from Moz when you get a chance
Many Thanks

Campaign Tracking on Site with different CMS systems
Hello, We have a lot of international tracking issues. our site is www.avepoint.com/de our blog site is www.avepoint.com/blog/de The main site is hosted on Craft CMS, the other is on WordPress.

I am not sure why I cant see any data for the blog site. Any ideas what might be wrong or how I can fix it? Thanks, Amanda

On Page Optimization and Page Grader in Moz Needs Some Fixes
Okay, so I've brought this up a couple times to your team and have always been met with resistance and confusion, but I really feel like the fundamental design of your on page grader (the auto one) needs some changes in order to be really useful. Let's start with the basics. An on page grader is supposed to be a tool where you can enter your keyword or keywords and have it scan the URL to see how well the keyword has been implemented on the page. It checks for heading use, anchor text, alt tags, frequency of use, etc. We all should get this if we are here. Now, your manual page grader does just that and does a great job of it. I find it very useful for checking newly created pages, landing pages, competitor pages and the like. However, your auto version found in the Search > On-Page Optimizations is the culprit here. So, according to several staff at Moz, this tool scans your site every week when the rest of your site scan is done. It then takes the rankings of pages for ranked and tracked keywords and assigns a grade for that page. Here's the major problem.... in almost all of my accounts, it very rarely gets the association with keyword and URL correct. Thus, it returns a low page grade even though the grade of the URL would be an A or B for the correct keyword. What seems to be happening is I'm tracking multiple keywords, sometime close variations. This grade tool in a lot of cases is grading a page more than once for several keywords it's ranking for. All the variants it gets a low grade for because the exact keywords isn't in the title, headings, etc. The second thing that seems to be happening is some pages are not being graded using the primary keyword, but instead a variation. In this case it only shows low grades for the page. On one occurrence of trying to discuss this issue with you, I got scoffed at for saying the tool was "guessing at which keyword to use for the grade". Your staff was very adamant in saying "it's not a guess!" My counter point was, call it what you want, it's in accurate to the intended keyword to be optimized for. Now, when one first gets to this tool, all of the above doesn't seem like that big of a deal because there's an "add & manage page grade" section. This section allows you to add and manage page grades. So, one would think that you could go to this tool, add an page grades for keywords that the tool didn't automatically associate and delete ones that it added with an incorrect association and that would be the end of it. However, that's NOT quite the end of it. At your own admission, the tool doesn't function like that. Each week when a new scan is completed, these pages grades essentially reset. So any page grade that you deleted will simply show right back up again. Now, before I go any further, let me explain why this is such an issue for me. First, on page optimization is something my company does and sells as a service and we are pretty good at it. Not saying we're the best, but we're better than most. That said, one of my reasons for choosing Moz was because according to the verbiage on the pages, one can create branded reports to include on page optimization. However, when the tool doesn't get the right keyword to landing page AND there's no way to manually override it, then basically all of my reports make it look like my pages grades suck, when in face they don't. Now, if in my campaigns I only added the exact keyword for each page and didn't do any variations of, then this tools becomes much more accurate. However, I want to track multiple variations. Bottom line is this: I need a page grading and reporting tool I can count on and actually use. Thus far, you solution is riddled with problems and every time I bring it up, you fight me on it saying it's working as it's supposed to. What I'm saying here is "as it's supposed to" is fundamentally wrong. I'd like to discuss this with someone at this point, and preferably someone a bit higher up than a first tier support person because frankly, I'm not getting anywhere. Overall I love your service, but it's things like this that have me questioning wether or not Moz is right. I'm giving you opportunity after opportunity to prove to me that it is. Help me work this out so we can continue that trend. Thanks, Micha

Moz login token, time to live...
Suspect it's just a wrinkle as a result of the change from seomoz to moz, but on seomoz the remember me checkbox had a time to live of a few weeks, possibly a month, which was excellent. Since the great rebranding and migration (which is excellent by the way), time to live from ticking remember me is in the order of a couple of hours, which is pretty annoying. Any chance the web folks could bump it up a little, better yet put it back to 30 days? 🙂
