Did Moz recently change how it calculates keyword difficulty?
-
Did the keyword tool recently change? What is Grepwords? Why do all my long-tail phrases show as "not available?" Just wondering...
-
I see over 50% "not available" for keyword volumes (when working with swedish keywords). These are not long-tail keywords and Keyword Planner in Adwords show these as having search volume.
How can this be?

Hey Allison!
We did make an unexpected change due to losing access to Bing's API for their search volume. We found that Grepwords' API has access and for an emergency solution we worked out an arrangement to partner with them to restore access to Google's Search Volume, which we lost direct access to a long time ago. We are seeing some long-trail phrases return no results but are not seeing any issues, Google may not have data for those keywords.
Hope this helps!

Keyword Research Using K Explorer for Company with No Competitors
Hello, I'm doing keyword research for vapementors.com I'm trying to use Moz's Keyword Explorer to do keyword research for them, but it's tough. They have no real direct competitors. I typed in a lot of related keywords in KE but couldn't find anything real high traffic. So far I have just gave them a list that I extracted from a bunch of KE results, but they rank for most of them already and there wasn't a lot of insight from my list. What do you suggest? Thanks

Why do my search results differ from MOZ's rank tracker
This is starting to happen a lot, i mean they weren't always an exact match but they differed by a few places. But now the gap between results I'm getting and MOZ's own rank tracker is quite large. For my keyword my page ranks on MOZ at 39 (it was 25 but has slipped down). Im seeing my page on page 1 locally and page 2 in incognito mode. Now I understand there are other factors such as browser history, cookies, am i logged into gmail etc. Thats why I asked colleagues to use Internet explorer and they have nothing to do with SEO so their history wont affect the search. They report seeing it on page 2, even colleagues in a different office in a different city sees it on page 2. I want to contact the department in question and share the good news that they've gone from none existent to 14th in what is a very competitive area. But MOZ's result has be second guessing whether I should. Any ideas why the gap between results is so large? Thanks

Why does the Moz Tool Bar show code as HTML text for my site?
When I run my site in the Moz Tool bar, all of the page elements are read correctly except for HTML text. Sample page: http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/alkaline-water/electrolyzed-reduced-water Instead of the text on that page, the tool shows Javascript code: /* With a very high character count for text (14,247).

Keyword Difficulty Report - Any way to have it send weekly?
I need the SERP data found in the Keyword Difficulty research tool each week for a search phrase. We are not tracking any specific URL - just really need the SERPS page 1 for the term weekly. Is there a way to have this report sent to use each week automatically? We have RSS feeds for the search but the end result is not visually appealing. If not this, does anyone know of any service that could provide this? Thanks
