What SEO Tools Do You Use?
-
Things changed a bit for me when Raven Stopped using google and SemRush data and I haven't exactly found a solution I'm happy with so Just wanted to use what people use alongside SEOMoz, or what they use instead of certain parts of SEOMoz.
Before I was using Raven Tools, Screaming Frog SEO Crawler but currently I'm using Screaming Frog SEO Crawler, SEOMoz (trial), and SerpIQ (trial).
-
For me, it's:
- SEOmoz data - downloaded into Excel
- Webmaster tools data
- Screamingfrog data - into Excel
- Google Analytcis - downloaded into Excel
Then I use Excel with various filters to mold the data as I need.
For example I may well combine data from the above 2 sources, and use vlookup formula's to, say, find 404 pages (screaming frog) that have a high PA (SEOmoz) by pasting in all the data from a screaming frog 404 report, into a download from SEOmoz, and the using a vlookup command to find the PA of the 404 pages.
Of course in the above example I could just use a crawl report form SEOmoz, which I also do, however i like to use more than one tool to check for 404's
Plus using the above technique you can do all sorts of trickery-pokery, and uncover lots of actionable insights.
If you search either on Google, SEOmoz, or Distilled, for something like: excel for seo - SEO for excel - or something like that, you will find loads of info.
Other decent tools to consider are:
- ahref's
- cognativeSEO
- Majestic SEO
These are all places that pull similar data, but are slightly different from each other, and have different benefits.
ahref's, for example, can be handy for finding links that have dropped-off.
Just my thoughts
Mike.

SEO software for multiple views - Responsive web design
We have a responsive web design website and noticed this morning that we are ranking better on a cell phone search than on a PC search. There has been talk about this happening. My competitors do not have cell phone views or responsive websites. Does anyone know if Moz is planning on adding this kind of ranking information to their reports? Thanks Carla

What is the best Dev company to use to make a white label SEO Dashboard
If anyone knows of a design someone has built, or if you know of one that we can purchase and customize ourselves that would be an option too. I am looking to have a company build us a white label SEO dashboard that integrates SEOMOZ api and SEMRUSH api. I also like majesticSEO api for the lost links only, the rest of majesticSEO I don't really care about I like SEOMOZ much better hence why I am here. I need the following 1. Someone to be able to login and add their logo if they are a reseller company of our services, so we can offer white label solutions to them. 2. I need to have an admin section where we can upload backlinks. The admin section should do the minimum 2.1 Allow us to select a website, select a link type, and upload the backlinks. It should extract specific columns from a CSV and upload them into the desired website/link area like a guest post or a social bookmark etc.. 3. We need graphs and all of the fancy looks for others to look at.. 4. We want to make sure that someone can download the report to their desktop in a doc, excel, or pdf form. Extras Automatic rank checking like IBP or Jonathen Ledgers new software etc.. If not I will just continue to use IBP it's not a big deal.

How do I delete labels from the list of labels we've used?
How do we delete labels from the pulldown in moz, that we already created, but no longer use. The function "delete labels" only deletes labels off of certain keywords. But we cant figure out how to remove unused labels completely from the list of labels. Thanks, Thanks, Andrew

"Rank Tracker Tool" is not agreeing with "Keyword Difficulty Tool"
I usually don't sweat a lot for ranks and such but last couple of days, our rankings have been moving drastically. 'Rank Tracker' shows 1st position for many keywords and the "keyword difficulty tool" shows 2nd and 3rd positions. Is is just me or this is a common thing?
