Keyword Traffic - Does this count paid traffic?
-
I'm looking at keyword rankings, and specifically at the number under "Keyword Traffic" for one of my keywords, which is described as "how many visits this keyword has generated for your website".
We run adword campaigns for some of these keywords. I'm wondering if this number is tracking visits from adwords or is this only organic?

Turns out our GA wasn't set up properly and all the traffic, paid and organic, are under the same view in GA, so they're all going into SEO Moz that way too. Found the source of the problem there

Hi John,
Thanks for the question. The traffic information you're seeing there is organic. You would likely have to go directly to your GA/AdWords account to see your paid keywords metrics.
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Joel. -
Depends on what tab you are looking at.
If you're looking at the Queries tab, which is actually the only that shows KW Rankings, that is pure organic. You can see combined paid/organic traffic from your KW under the Search > Overview tab.

Locate Poorly Trending Keywords in AdWords
At the campaign level I see my CTR has been suffering for the last week or two relative to the past few months. It could be a few bad actors casing the downward trend. How can I quickly and easily locate specific keywords that are trending in the wrong direction? Why filters will not work... They don't take change into account. I want to identify Keywords that were once doing well are now doing poorly. Filters will yield all keywords that are doing poorly which is not what I'm looking for. Obviously I could be missing something with filters but this is my understanding. A few other points to note... I have search partners turned on. I do not want to take this traffic into account in my analysis. I'd also like to determine if it might be an ad that's not performing as well as it once was. I assume the same method used to find poorly trending keywords can be applied to ads as well but if not, is there a solution for this?

Preparation of website before Submitting to Paid Directories?
I am reading that submitting to premium directories is a good way to get a jumpstart on SEO rankings. I have noticed that most of the good ones take a while in order to be approved and that many do not guarantee a listing, even if you pay $299 (Yahoo). So my question is, Do directories turn you away if you have bad web page optimization on your website? Because if they do then I definitely need work done there first. Any advice on getting accepted into the premium directories the first time? Boo

Running Adwords Campaigns to show Improvement in Organic Traffic
Hi mozers, I have a new client who contacted because his organic traffic dropped all of a sudden from 5000 visits per month to 300 visits per month. I have been reviewing his website profile and there are several reasons that take me to beleave the agency that managed his account until 3 months ago, was doing PPC to show improvement in the orgranic (SEO Service) traffic. 1. The Website was showing traffic for several highly competitive keywords 2. Most of the traffic 95% was driven to the home page with several groups of keywords 3. The website has just a few external links with anchor text not related to keywords sending traffic. Is anyone familiar with this type of practice? Thanks in advanced.
