Comparing competitor folder path
-
Hi All
I've just take on a new client and need to be able to compare their performance with a competitor's sub-folder site.
The competitor is http://thebestof.co.uk/local/brightonandhove/
I've tried to add that to the competition structure in my campaign but can't use "Path" info.
What do you guys do in these types of cases.
BTW - TheBestOf.co.uk is a franchise with a /local/CityNames across the UK

I have a current need for this feature too. Our example: working on an oncology project for a large healthcare organisation, comparing to competitor root domains brings in way too much generic healthcare information. Focusing on competitor sub folders would be much more relevant.
Look forward to seeing this in a future release.

Hey there Stephen,
We really appreciate you writing in.
Marisa is correct. Unfortunately we can only track subdomains and not subfolders for competitors at this time. We are hoping to change this in the future and potentially add this feature, but I do not have a date for this yet.
I do apologize for any inconveniences here with our tools and would highly suggest submitting this request to our feature request forum: http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks Marisa.
With they add that feature. It'd be really useful for tracking franchise sub-sites...
Oh well...

If you're talking about the SEOmoz Competitive Domain Analysis, I think that only allows root domains.

Why competitors rank with no content & filters
We're investing a lot in on-page content and creating categories/sub categories to target relevant keywords. Although it seems competitors with high domain authorities are clearly dominating in the SERPs and the pages have NO content. They are literally filters that create landing pages. For example when you search "Kaydian Beds", Debenhams rank below the manufacturer with just a filtered page, this page has not been optimised with content to target the keywords, only the META title changes depending on the chosen filter. Link: http://www.debenhams.com/furniture/beds/kaydian Our link: https://kontenta.co.uk/brands/kaydian-beds.html This is very frustrating as quality content should beat pages with little or no content, we will spend some time and get some inbound links to the page to try boost the rankings but does anyone have any similar experiences with anything like this?

Screaming Frog for competitor research
Hi guys, Does somebody experienced an issue with Screaming Frog spider while trying to crawl a website? It's weird since no error message appears and at the same time the crawler cannot crawl anything. There is no restriction in the robots.txt. Has someone encountered such an issue? Thank you. Cheers

Confused about sites ranking when compared to each other
I'm looking at the keyword "snow guards" for two competitor websites: snogem dot com (SG) snoshield dot com (SS) I've been watching these two for about 4 months. SG stays in the top 5 SERPs consistently, while SS bounces around from 15-20 on Google. I've looked at the competitive link comparison and SS appears to have a much better link profile when it comes to DA. Page specific metrics in OSE show SS with a higher mozrank, moztrust, internal followed links, linking root domains, total linking root domains, and linking C Blocks. It appears to me that SG has many more links, but their links seem to be many site wide exact match keyword links, and paid for advertisements on a major site in the metal roofing industry. Honestly the linking profile of SG surprises me that they rank so much higher than SS after the Panda/Penguin updates. I have two questions: 1. When competing against these sites, should I model SG's link profile? I'm nervous to because of my previous statement thinking they will get hit with Panda/Penguin like updates. 2. What would it take to bounce SS to competing with SG on the first page? Is the number of links the only thing this site is missing, or is there something else to focus on.
