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.

Getting my top keywords separated out in SEOmoz reports
I am using the standard functionality to produce weekly Moz reports. There does not seem to be a setting to show rankings of my most important keywords. It would be nice to have those high-level keywords on the first page. For example, I have 200 keywords in an account. I want the report to show on a page my 10 most important keywords. Is there a way to set up a Label to my keywords in order to product a report page just for those keywords?

Checking multiple keywords in Rank tracking
Besides the rankings in the campaigns i want to check 100+ keywords at once in rank tracking. Is this possible and if not why? It says i can check 400 keywords a day but manually entering them is time consuming and that's exactly why i use SEOMOZ, to save time.

How reliable is SEOMOZ data?
I have been using the Mozbar data to locate Auth websites, basically the higher the DA/PA the better it is. If I then check the site out and they have good load times, lots of social sharing etc this makes it extra special and now a good site to try and get a link on. I found 3 blogs to guest post on which all have DA/PA 80+ some of the blogs have a PR7. Now this is great but what scares me is have I just wasted 3 guest posts because the data is incorrect. These blogs are run by 1 person and the kind of work involved to achieve those stats would be very heavy. Maybe this blogger has just hit the nail on the head with SEO and link building. Input anyone?

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?
