    What exactly does this mean? That the service is down? Or the score will never be available?

    It seems like I get that and then the tool gets stuck and I get no other data.

      Hi everyone,

      Just a quick note to let you know the keyword difficulty tool is working again. Thanks for your patience!

        Hi Johnathan,

        We know that it is down, and we're working on it. I thought that the messaging was changed to let people know it would be longer than 20 minutes. I'm not sure of the current ETA for a fix now, but we are working on it, and have been all weekend. We're keeping the Twitter feed updated when we have information, and you're also welcome to create a help ticket -- we'll let you know when it's fixed if you do that.

        Thanks!

        Keri

                They are aware of the issue.  Their twitter stream https://twitter.com/SEOmoz has a tweet from 8/31 about the issue:

                "Uh oh. It looks like our Keyword Difficulty Tool is having some.... difficulty. We're working on it now. Stay tuned, friends."

                So they are working on it!  It is labor day weekend so it may take em a little extra time to get it up and going.

                In the meantime, if you are in dire need of KW difficulty, you can get some basic insight the following ways:

                Use Google Keyword Tool and look at the "Competition" level.  While this area refers to competition within Adwords - this can also give you a basic idea of how competitive the keyword is overall.  If it's a highly competitive Adwords term, chances are likely that SEOs are after it organically as well.

                Do a quick check of the organic SERPs and check out the domains in the top placements or even on the entire first page.  Are these really high authority domains, how well optimized are they, etc.

                  Same problem still. I am sure SEOMoz team is already aware of the issue and working on it.

                  Uh oh... there was a temporary problem gathering Analysis data for your request. Sorry about that! We're actively looking into resolving these intermittent issues, but in the meantime, try submitting your request again in 20 minutes. Thank you!

                      Keyword Research and Planning Flow

                      Hello, First post here. I am a IT infrastructure engineer that does application and deployment work mostly,  but new to SEO. That being said, I am a firm believer in demming wheel and defined process/flow charts. I have a website up, built as best practice, its a Magento CE open source Ecommerce store.  After some initial research,  it seems I really need to define my keywords before I start branding my landing pages and such. So i am going to have to go back and implement the keywords and evaluate. But as I am reading it seems most SEO people try their keywords in google ad words first? Then implement? I am hoping to find some flow or process sheets on how successful Keyword research is done via step by step process and evaluation. And explanations of each. How many keywords to start with per landing page, how many to try and get in the H1 headers, paragraphs, URL. How long to leave keywords in to test? Also, I am a start up company that is competing with the big boys in my market space. I know I cant compete for the big keywords in my market? What is my best strategy for getting any kind of ranking as a small business in a global market? SEO is a mysterious, intriguing thing to me! Very much reminding me of one of my favorite whimsical quotes I will leave you will now, and thanks for reading. -Alex "Invention, my dear friends, is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple." - Willy Wonka

                      How long for authority to transfer form an old page to a new page via a 301 redirect? (& Moz PA score update?)

                      Hi How long aproximately does G take to pass authority via a 301 from an old page to its new replacement page ? Does Moz Page Authority reflect this in its score once G has passed it ? All Best

                      Comparing Domain Authority Scores

                      Since your scale (like PageRank) is a logarithmic scale, it makes it hard to judge the distance between 2 scores.  Can you give me a rule of thumb.  For PageRank,  each jump is an exponential jump - so that a PR6 is perhaps 10 times stronger than a PR5. What is the log base that SEOMoz uses.   Should I assume that a 60 is 10 times stronger than a 50? This is important when it comes to measuring progress because growth is going to get more difficult as you move up the scale and I need to communicate the distance between our current Authority score and our goal. Thank You!

                      Checking multiple keywords in Rank tracking

                      Besides the rankings in the campaigns i want to check 100+ keywords at once in rank tracking. Is this possible and if not why? It says i can check 400 keywords a day but manually entering them is time consuming and that's exactly why i use SEOMOZ, to save time.

                      Site Explorer - No Data Available for this URL

                      Hi All I have just joined on the trial offer, im not sure if i can afford the monthly payments, but im hoping SEOmoz will show me that i also cannot afford to be without it! In my proses of learning this site and flicking through each section to see what things do. However when i enter my URL into Site Explorer i get the following message "No Data Available for this URL" My site should be crawl-able, so how do i get to see data for my site/s. I wont post my URL here, as the site has a slightly adult theme.
                      If anyone could confirm if i can post "slightly adult" sites. Best Regards
                      Jon

                      Meta keywords no longer in use

                      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.

                      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?
