    Hi,

    I am new for MOZ, have no idea how to improve my website with the function of MOZ, can anyone share their experience for using MOZ service. the more detail the better!

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    John

    Thanks for helps for everyone, it took me some time to read each answer, and also spend few days to study MOZ. My initial conclusion is the function of MOZ is to promote the idea of SEO, but not provide any specific SEO service for specific website except for some tools and report. So I am missing or misunderstanding MOZ's service, it will be always welcome to help me out by correcting my opinion. Anyway, thanks again for all the time you've given to me, and good to you all!

    -John.

        I actually joined MOZ purely because I was following the QA reading the new topics each night for a few weeks. That was what convinced me to join. I have come across so many problems with MOZ and honestly still do not have any idea what I am really doing but I can post in QA which is good.

        The on-Page grader is my favourite tool for a beginner like myself. But I am hoping in time they fix the issues I have found and I am sure there will be plenty more out there worth me taking up the $99 a month. (Fingers Crossed)

          Hi John,

          Welcome to Moz. We are glad you are here! You asked a great question, and have already received some solid advice. See how friendly folks are around here? 🙂 A similar question was asked last week at http://moz.com/community/q/make-the-most-of-moz. You may want to take a peek at it, as Peter Lunn and Cyrus Shepard linked to some excellent resources there.

          Cheers,
          Christy

            it sounds like you're in the same boat I was 6 months ago, so I can tell you, you are already using the most important tool Moz has to offer: this q/a forum. Granted, you should definitely take advantage of the 101 videos and tutorials, but it's amazing the quality of info top level people in this industry will give you, just because you asked.

            Good luck!

              Moz is great because it provides metrics and information about your site.  SEO is still an art and a science.  The tools that Moz has won't rank your site.  They will help provide invaluable information about your site.  You'll still have to choose the best path for your marketing strategy.  For example, if Moz tells you that you have 25 pages of duplicate content, it doesn't do anything for you unless you know how to act on that information.  If you haven't done so already, I highly recommend reading over Moz's beginner guide to SEO. I'm not saying you should learn SEO (you probably already know alot) but the guide has information in it that may help you think about how to use the tools that Moz offers.  (http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo)

              I run a few campaigns in Moz and each of them are set up completely different. Here is a help guide for each of the tools here on Moz and how they can be used to extract data.  http://moz.com/help/guides/research-tools.  If you look at the left sidebar, you'll see links to the specific tools.  On each of those tabs there are videos, a how-to section and FAQs.  By going through each tool and seeing what each does, you'll be able to see how to effectively use the tools to generate the type of data you need to develop an awesome web strategy.

                On-page SEO checking tool  was a big draw for me to moz, i would go through your websites landing pages with the moz on-page grader tool

                http://moz.com/researchtools/on-page-grader

                Actually most of the tools you get full access to are pretty sweet, Opensite explorer for your own link profile and looking at competitors i also find very useful.

                  Sub-domain with spammy content and links: Any impact on main website rankings?

                  Hi all, One of our sub-domains is forums. Our users will be discussing about our product and many related things. But some of the users in forum are adding a lot of spammy content everyday. I just wonder whether this scenario is ruining our ranking efforts of main website? A sub domain with spammy content really kills the ranking of main website? Thanks

                  Using Brand value for SEO: Can we use keyword with brand name?

                  Hi Moz community, I am curious to know this. Let's say there is a brand value for a company. It has it's own popularity that it's been mentioned across the internet and social media directly with brand name without their service or industry keyword. Now if the company started promoting themselves like keyword along with their brand name, will it help them to rank for that keyword. For example, Moz is already famous, now they want to rank for "SEO" and related keywords, so they started calling themselves on internet "Moz SEO"; will this fetch them in ranking for keyword SEO? My ultimate question is, using primary keyword along with brand name will work out in ranking for that primary keyword or not? Thanks

                  Do sub-domain visits do not count for website?

                  It's a common understanding that Google treats sub-domains as different websites. Does that mean visits of sub-domain do not impact website in-terms of ranking or visibility or reputation at Google?

                  When Is It Okay To Use Bold, Underline & Italic Text? Should I Stay Away From My Keywords?

                  Hey guys I have a few questions. I am pretty sure that I was penalized by Panda a few years back because I went very heavy on bold, italic and underlining my keywords.  Since then I removed the bold, italic and underlines and never have used them again.  I was just reading an article on the Moz Blog and I saw some bold words. My questions are,  When Is It Okay To Use Bold, Underline & Italic Text? Should I Stay Away From My Keywords? Any help would be great! Thank you.

                  Old school SEO tools / software / websites

                  Hey Mozzers, I am doing some research and wonder if you can help me out? Before Moz, Hubspot, Majestic, Screaming Frog and all the other awesome SEO tools we use today what were the SEO tools / software / websites that were used for aiding SEO? I guess we can add the recently closed Yahoo! Directory for starters! Thanks!

                  Can I have the same item description on Amazon, eBay and my website?

                  Hi guys, After looking on the Internet and reading the Learn SEO section on this site, I've realised that Google doesn't like duplicate content and penalises it, whether that's duplication on your own site or of another site's content. We are an online retailer currently selling on different platforms including Amazon, eBay and our own ecommerce webstore. Is it okay to have the same item description (i.e. main page copy) on each of these sites, or will our search rankings get negatively impacted? Thank you in advance, I have researched on this issue also but I couldn't find a concrete answer. Tanay

                  What are the good strategies using satellite sites in SEO??

                  Hello to everybody, We'are thinking about launching a massive amount of satellite websites in order to promote our website. Is it really efficient in terms of link building? Or is the ROI really small due to the amount of time and money needed to create and manage these websites? Thanks a lot!!! Update: Thanks to all of you for all these interesting answers!
