The Keyword Difficulty Tool is not working,
-
I have been trying to so some keyword research for the past few hours, but really couldn't research even a single keyword.
Is the Tool working??

Hi Bloodyruber,
If you could send a screenshot of the tool not working and not having any error message to our help desk at help@seomoz.org that would be great. We're not aware of any browser combination where the error message is not displaying. There should be a message saying that there is a problem gathering analysis data for your request in the Keyword Difficulty Tool. I'm not sure if we can change the message to reflect specific information about this outage, but the message in general should be there.

Hey Keri,
The proper place to notify users would be in the difficulty tool itself, ie: " The difficulty tool is not working now" in the difficulty tool page. Twitter? Q&A? how many people look at that stuff out of the 100% percent of people entering the difficulty tool page?

Hi Bloodyuber,
We've had a problem with the keyword difficulty tool starting on Friday of last week (lovely timing, as we started on a long holiday weekend with some people having out-of-area vacations planned far in advance). We've made several Twitter status updates about it, responded to questions about it in Q&A, and updated the messaging system within the app itself.
It sounds like we must have missed something, if it seems to you nobody cares. Please let us know where else we can add messaging, and we'll be happy to do so.

it's been a whole week that the difficulty tool is not working. It seems no one cares

Is there a way for me to find out how a keyword would rank if it were on a specific site?
Is there a way for me to find out how a keyword would rank if it were on a specific site? For example, lets say that XYZ.com does not have the keyword "ABC". Is there a way for me to find out how the keyword "ABC" would rank if it were on XYZ.com?

Find New Keywords Tool - Information is not accurate
When using the Find New Keywords tool, the information listed for Rank is often incorrect. I attached an image with two screen shots. One from the Find New Keywords Tool and the other is a Google search results page. In Incognito mode, I searched for the third item on the list, "Speak Creative Memphis." The results put us at #1 for that term, but the Keyword Tool shows that we're #4. Can you help me understand why there is a difference? keywordtool-ss.jpg

Does SEOmoz work for fully secure sites (https)?
We have created a large file sending service (https://digitalpigeon.com) and for obvious reasons we have secured the entire site (we used to have a trial file send form on the homepage so it made sense to secure everything with 301 redirects from http to https) Because we, somewhat naively, started out with a memorable name and domain - Digital Pigeon - where all of our competitors just keyword stuffed their domains we don't really rank for any useful keywords yet. For me, building domain authority via links is more important right now that any on page SEO that is going to be trumped by google's infatuation with domain keywords anyway. Here's the problem though, it seems SEOmoz and even Google Webmaster Tools and Bing Webmaster Tools all fail to take into account inbound links for both http and https for any reports or analysis! I'm wondering if utilising SEOmoz PRO for keeping tabs on our MozRank is pointless if it's not accounting for all inbound links

This stuff works - but be patient
..or subtitled "This is how I did it" Managed to get clients second most important keyword to #1 on Google recently (most important is about 5 or 6, am getting there with that one) 🙂 Yes, we all know 'rankings aren't important, traffic/searches are' but you know what - when a Client sees their keyword at #1 it kinda helps getting paid. Thus, in summary, this is how I did it. I don't think there's anything earth shattering here but it might help a few out as I see so many 'where do i start' type posts. 1 - Do everything within Webmaster Tools that is humanly possible. Sitemaps, fix errors, preferred domain the lot. Spend ages here! 2 - Get your on page optimisation sorted out. Decide on THE main keyword for page, fire it into your campaign and test it. Do not give up until it's an A and you've done ALL the tips/hints (yes, even bold text on the page.) It's obvious but you have to tell a Search Engine exactly what the page is about - and give it a few hints too. 3 - Links - ahhh, good old links the bain of our lives. This site was struggling for links so i bought some - yes, the shame of it. I still think the best directories are a good starting point, spent about £400 or so. (BOTW, JoeAnt, HotVsNot etc,) Also, find low hanging fruit places for links. See where top 3 or 4 competitors are getting links from (via OSE) and get your site linked there too. These aren't always chargeable. 4 - Get rid of as many errors you can from Crawl Diagnostics (Roger) and do everything you can to ensure page(s) load as quick as possible. e.g. for images, resize them and reduce colour depth. 5 - Go over Steps 1-4 again and again AND AGAIN. I think that's about it (will add anything if i think of it), this all took about 4-5 months - not to do the SEO work but for Google (or any SE) to recognise it all, so thanks to all at SEOmoz, the blogs and this forum for all the assistance. (Just need to get Linkscape updated quicker now folks - i couldn't resist that one!)

Capitalisation of campaign keywords - why does this affect traffic but not rankings?
Having accidentaly entered keywords into my campaign with both upper-case initial letters ("Product Design") and lower-case initial letters ("product design") I find that the rankings are, as expected, identical. However, the traffic generated by the keywords is markedly different. Does this mean that the two versions of the keyword should be treated like totally seperate keywords in future? Indeed, should I be entering all variants of capitalisation into future keyword campaigns (such as "product Design" and "Product design") if I wish to get the full picture in future? Any answers would be welcome. David in Scotland
