Keyword explorer and Scandinavia
-
Hi, congrats on launching keyword explorer!
Is the data primarily focused on the US and other larger markets, I see that for the keywords I put in I'm not getting any volume data? When can we expect this to change?
Best regards,
Anders

Hi Anders - totally not your fault; it's ours. We have volume data that's US-centric currently, and don't have data for Norway (or other countries) yet. We're working first on UK, Canada, and Australia, and then will try to get other countries' search volume data, too.
Apologies for that - in the meantime, my suggestion is to use AdWords KW Planner data for volume and select the specific country.

Hi Kristina, thank you for your reply.
I of course selected Norway from the drop-down.
I guess I did a bad job at explaining the issue. Here I go:
I believe the problem lies in the algorithm, when I type in words I know are the most searched after in Norway I get 0-10 as a volume score. I therefore wonder if the algorithm is weighted correctly, since Norway only has 5 million people it's logical that we can't be using the same search volume scales as the US. But to me it seems that this is the case, and that you guys should improve on this so that I can get realistic volume results based on the search market size.
Does this clarify? I guess this could almost could be tagged as a feature request, but I know you guys are brilliant so I thought you would have thought of this already.

Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here. Thanks so much - we really hope you're enjoying the tool!
In the Keyword Explorer search box, you have the option of choosing the country in the drop down box next to the search box. Here is a screenshot of the field I'm referring to: http://screencast.com/t/4hU9IurJVw
Does changing this field based on the country you're interested in help at all?
Thank you,
-Kristina

Keyword Explorer - root domain (NEW): Domains outside US & Canada - no or no meaningful results
Basically I really like and would love to use the new root domain feature in the Keyword Explorer in my daily work. I usually deal with small to medium sized sites in Switzerland. Looking these up unfortunately it either gives me back nonsense (i.e. keywords that merely have nothing to do with the site; sites are very well keyword optimized) or no data ("There are no results for your search") at all. Is this going to change in the future (...honestly) or its simply due to the fact that MOZ focuses primarily on US & Canada and maybe huge sites in Europe? Thanks for your input. Cheers, Cesare

I'm checking keyword difficulty for two different sites. Would love to view the results by site instead of just one large list. Is that possible? Or would it just be easier to keep the lists separate in Excel and just import when I want an updated report?
I have keyword lists for two sites. Is there a way to label them in the keyword difficulty tool (List A, List B) so I can just view results for a particular site? Or do I need to run the report with List A, export results, delete those keywords, then run the report for List B?

How is this possible, Keyword Difficulty tool has some problems
Hello guys, I have some concerns or misunderstanding. If I am about to look for [software development] using Google first, it shows that the Exact match for the keyword is 16,574, then I choose Bing and I had the same number 16,574. Yahoo is the showing the same figure. Do I miss something in here or this tool doesn't work? odd_zps2388b5a9.png

Keyword Difficulty Tool limit?
Is anyone else having trouble getting results from the Keyword Difficulty Tool today? I submitted 20 keywords for basic analysis, and it has been pending for almost an hour. I restarted my machine, logged in and out - no change. I pulled a few hundred keywords successfully yesterday. Does anyone know if there is a limit to keywords pulled within a 24-hour timeframe? Thanks!
