          The SEOMoz keyword reports show week-to-week changed in keyword positions, but what report can I run to see trends over time so that I can evaluate the effectiveness of our SEO efforts?

            You can run a graphical report showing your Ranking History for each keyword targeted since you started your campaign.

            To do this log into your campaign.  Click View This Campaign/All Keyword Rankings.

            On your Rankings Report click on the ranking you want to see charted.  For instance, if you rank #1 on Google for a keyword this week, you can click on that ranking and a graphical report showing your Ranking History for that keyword since you started your campaign for that word will appear.

              I too wish there was something like this. I download the rankings to the .csv file and  then import into my master file with all my keywords. Takes a few minutes but worth it --- I can see my trends based on my SEO work.

                You can also use the free program cuterank. It works okay and if you buy it you may produce the reports as wel.

                  Ah I understand now.  SEOmoz does not have anything like this in their arsenal.  There are a number of tools that you can use to do this, the two i'm familiar with :

                  • Raven Tools
                  • Authority Labs

                  Of the two I found Raven Tools much better but Authority has some features Raven does not so it is a matter of preference.  Best of luck!

                    Clarification:  The SEOmoz Campaign Manager shows me how all of my keywords did compared to last week.  Does SEOmoz keep a history of keyword positions over time so that I can see trends?

                      Could you provide some clarification on your question?  In my mind tracking the positions of multiple keywords over time is the best way to evaluate the effectiveness of your SEO efforts, along with :

                      • of Visitors (Broken down into Traffic Sources)

                      • of Conversions (Try to assign a dollar amount for this)

                      • Statistics on the amount of Indexed data

                      Follow this up with :

                      • A snapshot of this same data from last month (or last quarter, or last week) to highlight what you've done for the website with a particular emphasis on ROI.
                      • A plan for what you are doing next month (or next quarter, or next week)

                      Obviously if the client wants to get further into specifics you should be knowledgeable and prepared to do this.

                      Sam Crocker wrote a great YouMoz post on this just last week, it's a great read : Improving Reporting Efficiency and Relevance

                        Unsolved Questions about travel industry keywords

                        travel industry

                        My question is regarding my current learning of SEO and keyword research. I have been leaning towards Keyword Everywhere, SEMrush, and Google Keyword Planner for keyword research. What do you recommend? I know you might suggest Moz, but I'm looking for something that will enhance and help me find valuable keywords for the travel niche. If I sign up with Moz, will someone from the team help me with keyword research for the travel niche and my website? I haven't found any resources or lessons specifically focused on travel websites and their keywords.

                        Remove geographic modifiers from keyword list

                        I just pulled a search term report for all of 2013 from my PPC account.  What I got was 673,000 rows of terms that have garnered at least 1 impression in 2013.  This is exactly what I was looking for. My issue is that the vast majority of terms are geo-modified to include the city, the city and state or the zip code.  I am trying to remove the geographic information to get to a list of root words people are interested in based on their search query patterns. Does anyone know how to remove all city, state and zip codes quickly without having to do a find and replace for each geo-modifier in excel? for example, if i could get a list of all city and state combinations in the US and a list of all zip codes, and put that list on a separate tab and then have a macro find and remove from the original tab any instances of anything from the second tab, that would probably do the trick.  Then I could remove duplicates and have my list of root words.

                        Is there any way to move keywords from one Campaign to another?

                        We recently moved content off a subdomain onto our main www subdomain.  Each of these was previously tracked as its own campaign.  Now that the content is consolidated, I'd like to move the keywords that we were tracking on the first campaign over to the second. I don't see an option to migrate, or export/import keywords.  Is there any (non-manual) way to do this? Thanks

                        Can someone point me to the official article explaining why meta keywords are no longer taken into account by search engines please? I know Moz has indicated that search engines ignore them, but I would like to read a bit more about it - what was the reason behind it and since when.
