Can someone help me?

I need to use the competition analysis tool efficiently. I don't want to choose too big or too small competition, I am a startup affiliate website with 0 traffic. Is there guidelines for doing this?
-
Ah, got it!
Your best bet is to choose the sites you compete with most. There are a lot of ways to figure that out, but one reasonably quick way is to search for your most important keywords in an incognito window, and choose 3 sites you'll need to outrank in order to pull ahead on the SERPs.
Does that make sense?

thanks for trying to help! I meant when I choose 3 competitors at creating a campaign, it gives me the option to enter 3 URLS which are later defined as the campaign's objectives. Is there a guide to choosing those compeititors?
Sorry for not being clearer. Thanks again.

Hi Hassan!
The keyword difficulty tool will actually be going away. I recommend checking out keyword explorer!
Here is an in-depth blog post about the tools. I recommend participating in the discussion there

The factors considered in the new domain authority algorithm? On-site factors we can use to compare with competitors? Is having an NA as a spam score a bad thing?
Does anyone know the factors considered in the new domain authority algorithm other than spam score and complex distributions of links based on quality and traffic? Does anyone know of on-site factors we can use to compare with competitors to try and improve DA? Is having an NA as a spam score a bad thing?

Spam Score Help Needed!
Hi guys, Basically, long story short our site currently has a spam score of 5%, which is heading into dangerous territory. We have been looking into why this might be and the more we've looked into it the more stumped we've become. We compared our inbound links to our competitors, who's spam score currently stands at just 1%, and found that we actually had a smaller proportion of spammy inbound links compared to theirs - and yet our score is 5x higher. We have looked into disavowal, but this seems like a high-risk venture and something of a last resort so we'd rather see if there's anything else we can do about this before we press the button. Are there any other factors we need to look in to aside from inbound links and domains? Could it be something to do with our site architecture? For example we have a very high number of internal links (102,011, 94.1% are followed) compared to our competitors. This could qualify us as a 'large' site, and when paired with the fact that we only have 640 inbound links could be a big red flag to Google? Any help you'd be willing to provide us on this would be much appreciated!

How do can the crawler not access my robots.txt file but have 0 crawler issues?
So I'm getting this errorOur crawler was not able to access the robots.txt file on your site. This often occurs because of a server error from the robots.txt. Although this may have been caused by a temporary outage, we recommend making sure your robots.txt file is accessible and that your network and server are working correctly. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster.https://www.evernote.com/l/ADOmJ5AG3A1OPZZ2wr_ETiU2dDrejywnZ8kHowever, Moz is saying I have 0 Crawler issues. Have I hit an edge case? What can I do to rectify this situation? I'm looking at my robots.txt file here: http://www.dateideas.net/robots.txt however, I don't see anything that woudl specifically get in the way.I'm trying to build a helpful resource from this domain, and getting zero organic traffic, and I have a sinking suspicion this might be the main culprit.I appreciate your help!Thanks! 🙂

Can't get on page grader to work properly.
Hi I'm trying to optimize my pages with the on page grader tool but it keeps returning an F grade when I know my page is very well optimized. It is like something is blocking the page crawl but I have double checked my robots.txt and can't think of anything else that is causing a problem. I am trying to do www.hydrohobby.co.uk with the keyword hydroponics for starters but it is the same problem with all other page urls on my site and keywords I try to input. This is a new site made with cscart 4.0. I've graded pages on previous versions of this software with no problems. Can anyone help? Rob

Can you adjust the timeframe from weekly to monthly in the Dashboard Overview report?
I am looking to adjust the metrics displayed in the dashboard Overview report and the other subsequent reports to display a monthly time frame instead of a weekly time frame. I see the pull down bar that looks like I should be able to adjust the time frame but only weekly is given as an option. I do not know if this is specific to my account, that is, I am running on a subscription that only allows for weekly metrics. Thank you, Jon
