What's the best way to search keywords for Youtube using Moz Keyword explorer?
-
I want to optimize my youtube channel using identified keywords, but I'm concerned that the keywords I'm identifying work well for SERP's but might not be how people search in Youtube. How do a distinguish my keywords to be targeted for Youtube?
-
You should use the keyword explorer and google trends for finding out the keywords and Youtube hashtags Generator for finding videos around specific topics, related to that topic.
This can help you reach out to the audience most likely to be interested in what you have to say.

I like to use Keyword Explorer for YouTube research the same as I would for SERP keyword research. The difference is I look at the keywords differently. I try to think of the "user intent" and how it would differ from a web search vs a video search per se.
As an example, let's take the keyword "NBA sneakers". (I know nothing about sneakers but it's the first thing that came to mind)
User intent for organic search might default to "buy nba sneakers" as the dominate interpretation. For the most part when people do a Google search for "nba sneakers" they will probably be looking to purchase sneakers and the results will generally be "stores" in the top results.
When someone is on YouTube, the default might be to compare or get more information about the different popular sneakers that are out right now. Generally it's people looking for a visual vs actually purchasing. (not that they won't want to purchase soon)
Keyword Explorer will help you find questions and keywords around the topic you are researching, you'll need to decide what the intent of those keywords are based on user intent.

Moz-Specific 404 Errors Jumped with URLs that don't exist
Hello, I'm going to try and be as specific as possible concerning this weird issue, but I'd rather not say specific info about the site unless you think it's pertinent. So to summarize, we have a website that's owned by a company that is a division of another company. For reference, we'll say that: OURSITE.com is owned by COMPANY1 which is owned by AGENCY1 This morning, we got about 7,000 new errors in MOZ only (these errors are not in Search Console) for URLs with the company name or the agency name at the end of the url. So, let's say one post is: OURSITE.com/the-article/ This morning we have an error in MOZ for URLs OURSITE.com/the-article/COMPANY1 OURSITE.com/the-article/AGENCY1 x 7000+ articles we have created. Every single post ever created is now an error in MOZ because of these two URL additions that seem to come out of nowhere. These URLs are not in our Sitemaps, they are not in Google... They simply don't exist and yet MOZ created an an error with them. Unless they exist and I don't see them. Obviously there's a link to each company and agency site on the site in the about us section, but that's it.

Best method for tracking true keyword ranking overtime?
It seems as though week to week ranking monitoring can be very volatile, and comparing over the course of a month only takes into account the absolute change and not whether the rank has been jumping up and down in the 3 weeks between. What is a good method (Moz tool or not) for tracking a true change in average rank?

Moz WordPress Plugin?
WordPress is currently 18% of the Internet. Given its huge footprint, wouldn't it make sense for Moz to develop a WP plugin that can not only report site metrics, but help fix and optimize site structure directly from within the site? Just curious - I can't be the only one who wonders if I'm implementing Moz findings/recommendations correctly given the myriad of WP SEO plugins, authors, implementations.

I am looking for SEO tips specifically for magazine site's
I have a client who has a website that is based on a magazine. They make their money through advertisement I am primarily an inbound marketer I would be very grateful if anyone out there has any tips for a site that has been around for quite a while ( over 10 years) we are transforming the site from HTML into WordPress then hosting it with a fast managed WordPress host using CDN. I feel the lack of links is an obvious place to start however if there's anything specific to magazine based websites I would be more than grateful to hear your opinions. Thank you all in advance. Sincerely, Thomas von Zickell
