Can I specify a url for a keyword in the rank checker tool?
-
Hello!
I'm new to seomoz and excited to learn the system. I created a campaign and added keywords but I'm not clear how the seomoz campaign rankings tool works.
As an example, one of my keywords 'cigar cutters' is reporting at position 20 for url http://www.cheaphumidors.com/c_guillotine-cutters.html.
However, I think it would be better target to focus that keyword on http://www.cheaphumidors.com/c_cutters.html. as a search for 'cigar cutters' could encompass either a guillotine cutter, punch cutter or cigar scissors.
Is there any way to assign http://www.cheaphumidors.com/c_cutters.html to the term 'cigar cutters' in the campaign ranking report?

Just wanted to follow up - how's your stuff looking?
-
yes. if you go to "see all keyword rankings" in your campaign, you will get a list of your keywords and how they are ranking. clicking on the individual keyword will show you how it's doing in search results, with all pages ranking highlighted.
this will work after they email you indicating your report is ready. right now, you're just getting a "starter crawl." no rush, you'll be fine...
-
So your guess would be after they send that email that they're finished I should see 'humidor sale' ranking for both urls?
-
It depends on the size of the site. Give it a couple of days. They'll send you an email when they're finished. After that, you'll get a weekly report, and they'll email you when it comes in.
Please feel free to contact me if you need any help.

Havent made any page changes. Could it be that since I just signed up yesterday it still has to complete aggregating all of the data? I still get the welcome message saying "good data takes time" but there is no indication as to how long it takes seomoz to complete the rankings check.
-
Ahhh, I see. Two things could be happening.
- You could have changed the second page since SEO Moz ran the campaign report. It is run weekly, and therefore may not be current. You may have changed things, gotten recrawled, and the campaign just hasn't seen it yet. However, Rank Checker is pulling current data.
- (more likely) - click on the actual keyword in your report. Don't download the CSV, just click on the actual keyword. It will give you the top 50 results for that specific keyword. The CSV that contains all keywords will just show you the top result.
That work?
-
That's strange. When I exported the csv from the campaign rankings tool, the term 'humidor' sale only showed up once as ranking for http://www.cheaphumidors.com/ but http://www.cheaphumidors.com/c_medium-humidors.html also ranks at #17 according to the seomoz rank tracker research tool.
-
Forgot to specify - as long as they are on the same domain. If you want to track two domains, you can use two campaigns, or just set one up as a competitor
-
Yes. I don't have an image uploaded to point to, but you will see every instance that you rank for the keyword. It will show up as multiple points within the graph, and every page on your site that ranks will be highlighted in green in the listing of search results.
-
So if the search term, 'cigar cutters' was ranking in the top 50 for both urls, it would show up twice in the report?
-
In your campaign ranking report, it will show all rankings in the top 50 for your domain. So, if you have 2 words ranking for "cigar cutters" both will show up. You can see this by clicking on the keyword in your report. The list of keywords with all of the rankings will show you the top position.
If you go to tools, then "rank checker," you can do this manually. Put in the exact URL and search for the keyword that you are targeting.
Does that help?

I have 2 linking root domains on my URL. But I don't get the whole Root domain thing. So I don't understand how I can improve it?
I have 2 linking root domains on my URL. But I don't get the whole Root domain thing. So I don't understand how I can improve it? I copy and pasted this, from my Links page in my campaign because I can't seem to grasp what a root domain is: 'A higher number of good quality linking root domains improves a page's ranking potential'. Can some one explain to me what this is. As simply as possible. Here's my site www.Thumannagency.com Thanks in advance:)

How do i fix the problem of having 2 url's splitting my rankings?
please excuse my noobness. i have a nice site, www.soundsenglish.com which I built from scratch and learned by doing. It has lots of nice content and it does ok, my rankings are woeful mostly cos of all the mistakes i made building it...i'll fix that stuff. This stuff i don't know about. from my adsense i get 2 listings www.soundsenglish.com and soundsenglish.com wierdly the second one gets consistently higher paying ads although most of the visitors come through the first but they are both the same landing page same content -as far as i can tell. when i try to find rankings, use the seo tools etc i get diferent scores, so whatever it is, it is splitting the sites - can't be a good thing. i have no idea why this happens and i have some inkling that maybe i need something to do with cannonical redirects or maybe a 301 redirect. both of which i have little idea how to do. If that isn't enough naive blundering about for you, i have a little more... it occurs to me that this prpoblem is probably happening with every page on my site, i.e. the 'juice ' is not getting credited onto that one page. this surely means cannonical redirects but even afterreading up on them idon't quite get it. or rather ido but idon;t get how to apply it to my context.

What keywords should I use in my campaign.
I am a chiropractor. I only compete against web sites in my town. Should my key words be neck pain, back pain? Or should it be neck pain Bloomington Illinois and low back pain Bloomington Illinois? I am referring to the campaigns I just started. (I am new)

Google shutting down Rank Tracking Software? - Raven and AHREFS close down ranking results.
Hi, I was wondering if other people had noticed the (very sudden) closing down of the ranking tools for both Raven and Ahrefs - both of which were major parts of their software. Given the sudden and synced timing my guess is that Google is throwing its weight around and banking on the doors of companies offering ranking software with the threat of a fat lawsuite! What is everyone else using for their rank checking ? Will this impact SEOMOZ ranking results ?

My Google Keyword Rankings are Missing. Anyone else having this problem?
I logged in to pull my reports for my clients and noticed that I am missing all of my ranked keywords for my campaigns for the Google columns. One word is ranked. All the rest have a TUES sign that looks like it references Tuesday. Is anyone else having this issue? I had over 30 words ranked last week. Only showing 1 today. The rankings for Bing and Yahoo are intact though. There is no report showing a decline in ranking for all those words either (in the google column.) This is also happening in another campaign of mine but they have a WEDS in place of the google ranking... ugh Frustrated...
