Why the discrepancy in organic traffic - monthly report vs analytics
-
I've been going through my monthly reports, and noticed something odd in the SEO Moz report section showing the visits from organic (non-paid) search engine results.
When checking this data against the same data in Google Analytics, everything for the most part seems to line up with the exception of two dates:
Jan 09 and Jan 23 of the SEO Moz report show 0 visits, but Analytics shows I do have visits on those days.
Any ideas why this would be in the report or what I'm missing?

Thanks Joel!

Barring any unforeseen circumstance with Google Analytics, it should all repopulate just fine.
I've yet to see one have a problem. Worst case scenario, you let me know and I get it fixed.
Cheers,

Thanks Joel. And just to confirm, it will pull in historical data too even if I disconnect it and reconnect it?

Hey there,
Sorry for the confusion with the traffic metrics!
What is usually going on there is for some reason we have a hiccup in the communication between GA and us. All that information is pulled directly from Google including the historic data. You should be able to disconnect and reconnect your GA from your campaign and that will refresh all the data and should include those dates.
It will take a short bit for the dates on your overview to populate but the information should be fine.
I hope that answers your question.
Cheers,
Joel.

Historical data in rank report not matching summary?
I got a new rank report today. For a lot of keywords in Yahoo and Bing it is saying things like >49 etc. When I hover over it, it tells me that these are new keywords for me that I didn't rank for before. When I look at the historical graph for those specific engines though it just shows me going back at the same position historically. For example like position 17 going back many months without change. Can anyone tell me what is up with that?

Why does Crawl Diagnostics report this as duplicate content?
Hi guys, we've been addressing a duplicate content problem on our site over the past few weeks. Lately, we've implemented rel canonical tags in various parts of our ecommerce store, over time, and observing the effects by both tracking changes in SEOMoz and Websmater tools. Although our duplicate content errors are definitely decreasing, I can't help but wonder why some URLs are still being flagged with duplicate content by our SEOmoz crawler. Here's an example, taken directly from our Crawl Diagnostics Report: URL with 4 Duplicate Content errors:
Moz Pro | | yacpro13
/safety-lights.html Duplicate content URLs:
/safety-lights.html ?cat=78&price=-100
/safety-lights.html?cat=78&dir=desc&order=position /safety-lights.html?cat=78 /safety-lights.html?manufacturer=514 What I don't understand, is all of the URLS with URL parameters have a rel canonical tag pointing to the 'real' URL
/safety-lights.html So why is SEOMoz crawler still flagging this as duplicate content?0 -
SEOmoz vs Google Webmaster Tools on incoming links
I'm working on basic SEO for http://queueassoc.com. Google has indexed the non-www verions of the pages and these are what the SERPS return SEOmoz toolbar shows that all of the incoming links juice goes to the www. versions of the pages, none to the non-www version. Yesterday I set up GWMT for the site, submitted a sitemap with the www version of the pages and set the default address to the www version. I had to verify both versions of the site in order to do this and in looking at the non-www version I saw that Google had all the incoming links there and none in the www.version, the opposite of what SEOmoz shows. Is this just because Google only has the non-www versions in its index? Will they show the links to the www version once they get them in the index? I'm worried about losing Google Page Rank value or SEOmoz DA by making this switch.
