Keyword Difficulty: Temporary problem gathering Analysis data
-
I did two searches using the difficulty tool. On the third run report, I encountered an error with a message that there was a temporary problem gathering Analysis data. It said that I should wait 20 minutes and try again.
I have experienced errors with other keyword difficulty tools. I wonder how intermittent this problem is. Is the error known.

I tried the same search tonight and I got some results. After about 5 more tries I got this error again.
I tried the search again for "restaurant dashboard". I worked. New query. Error.
I can't remember what I searched last night.
Here is some info I pulled from Chrome Dev Tools.

Hm. Bummer Samuel!
This isn't really a known error. Very rarely someone will report an intermittent problem with our keyword analysis tool or our rank tracker. When it does come up, it seems to only affect certain keyword/phrase combinations.
We haven't received an in flux in bug reports about this and it remains rare and hard to pin point. We'd love your help in identifying a cause. Would you feel comfortable adding the query you tried to this thread? If not, would you mind emailing help@seomoz.org so we can try the query and look for clues?
We just tried running a query similar to one you ran successfully, and it returned full results.
Thanks for letting us know you had a problem. We'd love your help trying to pinpoint this sneaky bug.
Best,
Sam

Bye Bye Keyword Difficulty Tool :(
So the Keyword Difficulty Tool will be retired from the end of this month. Is anyone else worried about this? - because I just don't trust the numbers coming back from Keyword Explorer. Never have. I've even raised this with Moz staff previously, when there was a huge difference between the score given by the keyword difficulty tool vs keyword explorer. From what I see in Domain and Page authority and in the SERPs then the score from keyword difficulty tool, was always more accurate, and thankfully have been able to use both tools, but from next month I feel somewhat uneasy about solely relying on the score from Keyword Explorer. Thoughts? and feel free to run your own tests on keywords and I'm sure you'll see what I mean.

Keyword Themes - What's in a theme?
I recently read the Moz guide for "How To Rank - 25 Step SEO Master Blue Print" and had a question on keyword themes. What is considered a theme? Is there a recommended number of keywords in a theme? For example, if my site is for listing and selling cars, would the following terms fit within the same "car" theme or should the terms be broken out by "cars general" / "car locations" / "car types"?

Keyword tracking- Local
Silly question about Local ranking monitors. If I have a local client in Pheonix, AZ and I want to track rankings for keywords. Is it best to monitor city+keyword or just keyword? I have ran tests with multiple clients and locations, and cannot ascertain the difference- as far as rankings go. I appreciate all input.

Keyword Research Local vs Organic
I am curious what tact people take when doing KWR for a local business where regional keywords are important, for example 'Dallas Family Dentist' vs just 'Family Dentist'? It can be challenging to consistently create content for these regional keywords without looking spammy or akward in the wording of titles and copy. Any advice on how you approach SEO research or content creation when these regional words are important?

Local search data
Is there a good reliable tool for getting search volume for local keywords. The adwords keyword tool is nice but I am wanting to know which cities get which portion of the local traffic they present.
