Choosing the right keywords
-
With the Pro tools at SEOMoz, how do you know if your going after the right keywords on your website and do any of the tools suggest keywords you should be going after?
-
I see what you are thinking but take it as an investment, if you calculate witch keywords convert you will be able to rank for them. SEO takes time and why put a lot of work into ranking for bad keywords?
And if the keywords dont convert you could look into that and change the page so that you do convert.SEO is just wasted time if you dont convert! Site structure, navigation and user experience should come first. Adwords is great for finding you and then position spesific pages to rank.

I don't even use Adwords anymore. The problem with Adwords was it costs abotu 80 cents to 1.10 per click. I am selling a book and the profit margin is only a few dollars. So unless 100% of the people who clicked on my ads purchased the book, it was seriously ripping into my ROI
-
In addition, look at what keywords are actually converting in your Google Adwords Campaigns. I didn't know what my keywords were until I saw what people were converting on Adwords.
-
It's not on SEOmoz, but I use Google's Keyword tool - https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal - and Google Insights to see which keywords get the most monthly searches. If your field isn't super competitive, go after the highest traffic keywords first. If there's a lot of competetion you may want to start with the more specialized, less competitive keywords first.

Keyword Rankings Compare to X not working
Anyone else having trouble with the compare your keyword positions with competitors section of the analytics? The rankings for my site(s) are fine but whichever competitor I click on to compare rankings to just returns 'Not in Top 50' the competitor is ranking. I have just manually checked and they are very much listed in the engine. Is this tool broken?

Erroneous "Weekly Keyword Ranking & On-page Optimization Report" For Campaign
Hi, I just received an email alert from Seomoz telling me my "Weekly Keyword Ranking & On-page Optimization Report " for the period 11/06/12 - 11/13/12 is ready. It is just a copy of the previous report though, all rankings and ranking changes are the same. What is up with that? Best regards, Martin

Keyword Difficulty / Search Volume
Hello all, What do you think about using Keyword Difficulty divided by Search Volume as an alternative to keyword efficiency indexes? ETA: Obviously this wouldn't be a hard and fast metric, but a general indicator to be taken into account along with other data.

How can I change the day my keyword rankings are updated?
I have several campaigns which currently get their weekly keyword ranking reports updated on different days. I'd like all of them updated on the same day, so I can just check in one a week for everything.

Tool which shows site ranking for a given keyword
Hi all. I have a client with a specific request and wanted to ask if there is a reliable tool which allows a user to enter a given site and keyword, and it will return the site's ranking for that keyword. More specifically: Needs to work for Google, Yahoo and Bing Needs to work for various countries such as Google.ca, Google.it, etc. Needs to show at least the top ?10k rankings, not just the top 50 The last requirement is the challenge. I clearly recognize anything past the top 50 or so ranks is really off the map, but the client would like to view his current standings.
