Get the keywords Google is ranking my website
-
Hi,
I'm using the Moz keyword explorer to know which keywords Google is ranking my website. It says my website is ranked just for 7 words which I find very estrange...
Any idea? If I use the google AdWords keyword explorer I get a lot more of keywords for my site. Which one should I trust to improve my seo?
Thanks,
Regards

Thanks Eli

Yep your right!
At this time, due to data limitations for international locations, you may see limited search volume data available for the country you've selected. We are working to increase our international volume data in the application, but I'm afraid we don't have an estimate for when volume data will be available for your keyword. In the meantime, I'd recommend using other tools alongside Keyword Explorer such as Google Keyword Planner and Wordstream.
If you have specific questions with regards our tools and your website, feel free to message us at help@moz.com

Many thanks Eli
So, Moz it's showing me just 7 keywords because the other keywords are too much weak or are positioning me very far from the first positions.
Then, I understand, I should pick which words I'm looking to rank and work for improve it.
Am I right?
Another topic I'm facing it's that when you access to the site it redirects you by 302 to another page depending what is your default language configuration. Example:
If you've set your browser in English does:
mywebsite.com -> mywebsite.com/en so, all the pages are mywebsite.com/en/contact; mywebsite.com/en/about-us; etc
If you've set your browser in Spanish it does:
mywebsite.com -> mywebsite.com/es so, all the pages are mywebsite.com/es/contact; mywebsite.com/es/about-us; etc
I'm checking the keywords for the Spanish site, and I've set the campaign configuration to use the Spain Google Search Engine but the keywords are just a few and in English.
I don't know if I'm missing something.
Regards.

Hey!
Thanks for reaching out to us!
Our keyword tools are only going to be showing data for keywords ranking in the top 50 spots in Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). We do this by design because in general, most people searching on a search engine typically do not click past the 5th page of SERP results. Additionally, beyond the first 30 or so results, SERPs tend to get incredibly volatile. So, reporting on these types of fluctuations starts to be less meaningful overall, which is why we're only going to be showing you data for the areas we'd consider to be in your best interest to focus on.
Ultimately Keyword Research can take place in many forms, and many different tools (which you can trust) can be used together for you to pinpoint which Keywords to go for.
I hope that helps,
Eli

In Moz's Keyword Explorer/Explore By Site, Can I Exclude a Keyword From the Results?
Hypothetical question - Let's say I sell tax preparation software and I want to see the keywords that "turbotax.com" ranks highest for. Based on that list I might want to optimize for similar keywords on my site. But if I use Keyword Explorer, select "Root Domain", and enter "turbotax.com" as the root domain, the first 200 or so keywords in the list have the word "turbo". None of those interest me. Can I exclude certain keywords (like "turbo") from the list? Thanks.

Global Keyword Rank Research? What is the best method to do this?
I am looking for a tool that will show my how my competitors rank for keywords across regions. Can MOZ help with this? I know right now I can add their website and export a list of terms they rank for, but it would really help me to see how that number fluctuates and changes across the globe. Any solutions?

New Design on New Ranking Charts
I logged in today to find the ranking chart on a specific keyword changed dramatically. It used to pop up first thing when you went to analyze a keyword and now it's hidden under a pulldown. Which is fine, I will get used to all the new changes. It only took me a few minutes to find it (ha). Is there a writeup on what was reorganized anywhere? I could not see it on the blog (other than the Keyword Difficulty changes but that doesn't say anything about this) or in the Hub. The way it was laid out before was extremely compact. It showed the keyword at the top with the current weekly ranking. Then listed the chart below with the competitors. You could easily get it on a snapshot for management. Now, when you are viewing the chart, you don't know what keyword you are looking at when viewing it on the screen (you have to scroll up - or have a really large monitor) and you have to hover to see what position it's at. If you look at the two attached images, it used to be more compact. I'm not including where the competitors are listed for privacy reasons 😉 but on the old version it made very easily digestible screencaps. Now, I know, I know, it's all there... Yet every Monday I do a snapshot of the top 10 keywords we look at and send it in an Excel file (with VARIOUS other things) and the big boss looks at it every single week. Since he's the one paying and I'm about to hear a complaint shortly, I thought I would send feedback... (I'm trying to check boxes... is Moz Pro called Moz Analytics now? When I look at my campaign, it says Moz Pro... doesn't say anything about Moz Analytics. I feel super old right now! Sorry! 🙂 sIzxEi5b7d vCUukpOrHSdn

Keyword Difficulty for SERP #14?
Dear Moz-Team, i used your **Keyword Difficulty **Tool for the Top 10 Results on a keyword. Our competitor is on Rank 5. and we are at 14.

I wanted to compare all Keyword Difficulty Parameters with these two websites.
Unfortunatelly, it just allows me to compare the first 10 matches. Is there a way - maybe via your API - to compare with Ranks > 10.? Thank you very much in advance, D.L.0
