What is the difference between the Rank Tracker and the On-page Optimization page?
-
Both of them track keywords.
In the Rank Tracker, you add each keyword manually and you associate it with a URL.
For On-page Optimization page, the URLs are generated automatically based on searches and traffic?

Ah - understand now
There is currently a note on the rank tracker tool that it will be updated soon. Fingers crossed they might include this feature.

I think your wanting to know why you have to add the same keywords to both the rankings page and the on-site page and why they don't just auto-populate each other. Unfortunately I don't have the answer for this as that’s the way SEOMOZ setup the software.

Does the On-page Optimization page not show any rankings?
This is what I want to accomplish.
URL -> Keywords -> Rankings
I get an email report every week telling me about the rankings. The keywords there are taken from my "Manage Keywords" list on the On-page Optimization page.
So how come the Rank-Tracker can't use those keywords and I have to plugin the keywords manually. Something doesn't look right.

Hi Ehab,
The Rank Tracker and On-page optimisation tools are very different. I'm not sure where you have got confused, so I'll try to explain each and see if that helps.
Rank Tracker : This tool measures where your website appears on particular keyword searches. If, as an example, you were tracking the term "purple hats" then the tools effectively does that search for you once a week and reports back where your site appears.
On-page optimisation tools : This looks at the page you specify, checks it for common problems and sees how relevant it is to the term that you specify. It doesn't take in to account any off page factors (such as links or competition) and is just rating the pages "readiness".
I hope that helps clarify it a bit for you.

Is the on page optimization tool not working?
i received a grade f for one of my keywords/page. i corrected some of the points but when i tried to submit the form again, it doesn't check off those corrected items. is there something wrong with the tool right now? also, how does the tool work if i'm targeting 2 different keywords for one page? e.g. digital marketing philippines and digital marketing agency philippines I'm pretty sure one of the keywords will have problems with at least 3 critical and high importance on page factors (broad keyword usage in page title, exact keyword usage in page title, etc.) is there an effect if there's a critical factor left unchecked because using both keywords in the title might look redundant?

Page authority questions?
I've been analyzing some IT communities ...in order to check how relevant is the page authority vs PageRank. I found one main site which is organized by "communities'..and every community is a sub-domain. The root domain has an authority of 90/100 which it should be great......so the sub-domains "inherit" part of this authority.... Until here everything seems to be perfect. However, I went deeper and I picked one of these communities. Analyzing the "Linking Root Domain" I discovered it only has only 5 root domains pointing to its home page. Those 5 Root Domains have generated more than 134k links. That doesn't seem to be "natural". Checking those 5 Root Domains I discovered that they have been registered by the same Root Domain site. Ex: Main domain: Domain.com Community1.domain.com Community2.domain.com.... Linking Root Domains: DomainXY.com DomainABC.com DomainRST.com DomainFGH.com DomainOPQ.com It seems to me that it is easy to cheat the authority domain score. Just creating others sites developing the same topic and generating back links to your main domain

Moztool and on page ranking matching
How does the Moztool compare and filter the search phrases you enter in your campaign? Or more correctly, will it filter out stop words or is it an exact match? For example I enter a phrase to track that say: "book ski trip austria" Identified in Google I see that most users search for just that "book ski trip austria" But in content, I cant write that as that is uncorrect english and I want to maby write something like: "When you book a ski trip to austria you get..." How will this affect my on page SEO report, will it still match and mark a "V" in done or show a an error? Even more interesting is, what happen if you do phrases in different order like "An austrian skip trip will make you feel..."

Strange nothing site ranking
Hi There. If you check who ranks for "credit cards" there is a website https://www.woolworthsmoney.com.au/ that is in position #5 This is a highly competitive keyword, but OpenSiteExporer.org cannot give me any backlinks for it. it says "No Data Available for this URL" The same thing happens in Market Samurai - no data 1. What are these guys doing that the others are not? 2. How come OSE can't pull any data for it?

Wrong duplicated page content
I found out that some errors on my website are considered as "duplicated page content" while they are not, the content is different on each page. I wonder why ? Is it an issue from Seomoz ?
