So Google encrypts keywords... so what! just look in webmaster tools...
-
Buongiorno from 11 degrees C very cloudy & dull wetherby UK
With Google encypting all organic search terms and (Not Provided) appearing like an unwanted rash of eczema doesnt the panic end when you just get that data from Webmaster tools?
Maybe ive got it wrong but isnt all the organic keyword data sitting in webmaster tools any way? so in the words of Lance-Corporal Jack Jones - Dont Panic!
Any insights welcome

It's true that you can see search queries in Webmaster Tools - but don't forget that it will only show you queries that you already rank for. If you want to research new keywords to target you will need to use another tool. Check out my recent blog post http://moz.com/blog/keyword-volume-tools for more on that topic.

Rand said in his blog that you will need to combine the data from WMT and Adwords to be able to view your organic search queries. Unfortunately Google now seem to have removed the organic search queries from their reports!
That leaves us with only AdWords data. Seems like a shrewd move from Google to encourage more people to spend via AdWords.

Hi there, since 24th of September (though started on 23rd), Google Webmaster tools account does not show anything in the Search Queries section. There is absolutely no data in there
Definitely not a time to press the panic button as there is nothing that we can change from Google's end, we SEOs, now need to look at other SEO KPIs. Just another nightmare...and the journey goes on.....
Best,

Hi Nightwing.
So far only thing made us a little bit optimistic was Rand`s post about it. Seems like it is possoble to deal with it is to combine the data and pay for adwords (not 100 percent)
http://moz.com/blog/100-percent-keyword-not-provided-whiteboard-tuesday
And there will be a big difference between talented and untalented while combining and reading the data. We can make difference with rhe help of moz we bet
They are well aware of what is going on so they will adjust as much as possible.
Still scary and getting more and more scary tough

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.

Are Keywords treated as Case Sensitive?
We found that keywords are not case sensitive, but MOZ show same keyword in different case under "Top National Keywords" tab. Eg: 1) Wobble Wedge 2) wobble wedge

Which keyword for title
I'm trying to figure out what to use for my title text. It's for a structural steel fabrication company. Adwords has the average monthly searches for "structural steel" and "steel fabrication" identical at 5,400. It has "structural steel fabrication" at 390 which I get that since its longer and a little more specific will have less searches. My question is if I make the title "structural steel fabrication" does google just see it as 1 big keyword or will it rank for "structural steel" and/or "steel fabrication"? What would any of you go with here? All 3 keyword strings make sense for the person seeing the title. Thanks for any advice you can give, Clay

Keywords/URL
Greetings! I've read previous posts on this topic, but wondering if something has changed recently...On the on-page grading, the following was suggested:Use Keywords in your URL - high importance - easy fix _(In the past it has read difficult fix). _Could it be as easy as creating a new page with the name in the url, then redirecting to it? My site is www.enchantingquotes.com and the keyword that brings in virtually all of business is "wall quotes". I've read in the forum this isn't worth the trouble of trying to do, but the "easy fix" comment has me wondering...?Any help is much appreciated....I'm been trying to recover from a recent unexplained drop in rank. Ugh! (So feel free to analyze my site LOL!) :DA huge thanks for any advise!

Missing Tool!!
What SEOMOZ tool or other resource should I use to find a list of Google's most popular keyword searches. The "Keyword Difficulty" tool will allow me to check out information about a particular Keyword. For example if I want to check out the top 1000 most popular Keyword Searches in the .co.uk area, irregardless of industry. Thanks Peter

Duplicated string in the google keyword tool
Is it possible that the google keyword tool is wrong? It's the first time I realize that for many keywords the google keyword tool reports a big volume of searchs for a keyword as if it were tiped two times. In some cases, as the attached image, it's the same volume, in other cases is even bigger the one with the duplicated string What should I think of that, that, "champagne champagne" has really 4 million searchs? if champagnechampagne.com were an available domain name, should it be a good idea for a microsite? Thank you! t9Jwn.png
