I was doing research on keywords and found significant discrepancies between the search volumes on Moz and sites such as Spyfu and Semrush. What could be the reason behind these differences?

They're using different data sources and basing their assumptions on different metrics. Sometimes it can also be a matter of the location, if it's global search volume or on a national level.

Are AMP pages affecting mobile search visibility?

Hello fellow Mozzers. I've recently seen a fairly hefty drop in search visibility on Google mobile, from 12.8% to 4.1%. Desktop visibility is unaffected. The same search visibility drop is echoed in SEMRush. However, Google Analytics shows that our site traffic from mobile hasn't changed. The only thing I can think of is that we recently launched AMP pages. I know Google sometimes caches AMPs so they’re served off google domains. Could that mean that the cached version of the page is ranking rather than our own? That would explain the drop in visibility but stable traffic I think?! What other explanation could it be? Many thanks in advance, Kit

Discrepancy between backlinks (opensiteexplorer vs. search console)

Hey there, when I check in search console for "Links to your site" and "your most linked content" I see incoming links pointing to the wrong (country and language) subdirectory? When I check those same backlinks with opensiteexplorer they seem to point (after redirects) to the correct subdirectory. Anyone out there with similar experiences or thoughts on this? I would be happy to give access to search console if you wanted to have a look at this.

Finding all search terms/keywords

Hi everyone! Is there a report I can run on SEOMoz that will show all of the search terms that people are using to find my site? I want to analyze where I am doing well and where I can use some work, but I'd like to have that as a starting point. Thanks in advance!

What is the correlation between the SEOMOZ PR number and where my site is showing up in an organic search?

For years, our company placed 3 or 4 in an organic search on Google for the keyword I am inquiring about. A couple of months ago, we went down to number 15. I then subscribed to SEOMOZ and began a concerted effort to improve our ranking for this keyword. Slowly, our listing came up higher in searches and on our reports- back onto the first page #8. Our weekly SEOMOZ reports reflected this improvement, but then it dropped down again to page 2, #11. My most recent report, this week, gave us a PR 8 for this keyword, but our listing is showing upon page 2, #11. I do have my personal search and browser history disabled. I am unclear as to why there is this discrepancy.

Well i am aiming at those +10 mozpoints 😮 only 1 thing left that i need to do, that is to upload my photo.. But when i clicked "Edit Photo" , the popup window shows only message and a single "Upload" button, in which case it says "No file image" which is.... of course, because the "Select Image Browser" did not come out at all :((

Why can I only add three search engines to a campaign?

I need to track global keywords rankings for a web based product. Only being able to add three search engines to a campaign is limiting. I need to track at least 5 regional versions of Google, and curently have to duplicate my campaign to do this. would prefer to keep it under one campaign.
