Unsolved Homepage keyword Ranking
-
Can anyone shed some light on how a competitor can have over 500 keywords for the home page, which I can not see when I read through the page itself.
I have looked at the page sauce "keywords and is lists less than 10,.
So my question is how can Moz say it has over 500 when i cant see them or has the site hidden them. If they are hidden Google has not penalised them for keyword stuffing.
Can anyone shed some light on this Thanks in advance

Hi,
I found this post relevant to my issue. I m working on my site very hard. Traffic significiently increased but there are no ranking keywords in moz. Its a german website. Kindly guide me regarding this, what strategy should i adopt to rank the keywords.
Thanks -
@sarahwalsh This could be the case, I've seen it several times. Of course, it could also be one of the other reasons mentioned in this thread, but this is a "good suspect".

There are several reasons for that!
Not all SEO tools tell us the same number of keywords, that a page ranks for. It is just an estimate, & every tool has different algorithm so that's why you can only get an idea from them.

The discrepancy between the number of keywords reported by Moz and the actual number visible on the page can be attributed to several factors:
Hidden Keywords: The page might be using techniques like meta keywords, header tags, or internal linking to hide the keywords from view. These methods can make the keywords invisible to casual visitors but still detectable by search engines like Google.
Keyword Density: The page might be using keyword density techniques, such as repeating keywords in the content, meta tags, and header tags. This can make it difficult to identify the exact number of keywords, as they are spread throughout the page.
Long-Tail Keywords: The page might be targeting long-tail keywords that are not immediately visible. Long-tail keywords are more specific phrases with lower search volumes but can still contribute to the overall keyword count.
Keyword Variations: The page might be using variations of the same keyword, such as synonyms or related phrases. These variations can increase the overall keyword count without being immediately apparent.
SEO Tools: SEO tools like Moz might be using advanced algorithms to detect and count keywords that are not visible to the naked eye. These tools can analyze the page's HTML, meta tags, and other technical aspects to provide a more comprehensive view of the page's keywords.
In summary, the discrepancy between the reported number of keywords and the actual number visible on the page is likely due to a combination of these factors

@rubierae1524 While SEO tools like Moz offer approximations, the competitor likely isn't stuffing keywords. The homepage might focus on a few key terms, with variations targeted elsewhere to reach a wider audience. Focus on creating high-quality content that targets relevant keywords for your own site, rather than trying to match a specific number.

Homepage Keywords Getting Top Ranking is more Hardest Way Nowadays. But Specific page target to Specific Keywords that will be potential way. https://www.vivaindia.com.mx/

Hi, it could just be because the homepage to that site has some really good quality links, which means that it had so much link juice, its ranking high across so many keywords. Our fencing business, got on page one, once we started building quality links.

How can I get more than 300 keyword queries per month?
Hi, Currently using Moz Pro Standard, which limits me to 300 keywords queries per month. I'd like to run more queries than this, but don't see any option to add more. Do I need to upgrade to the Medium tier? Just to clarify, I'm _not _referring to tracked keyword rankings -- just queries run through the keyword explorer tool. Thanks!

Why didn't the Moz rankings change yesterday?
As of this morning, the Domain Authority section on our campaign still reads: "Next scheduled update: Jan 25, 2017 PST" and nothing has changed - it is still showing our old DA and how much it went up since last time. Is this a problem on our end, or is Moz experiencing difficulties with DA updates? Thanks in advance!

With the new update on the Page Optimization all my previous page scores and rankings are not longer showing up. Why?
Since the page optimization tab has updated all my previous page scores and rankings are no longer there. But if I am looking at the pages on the dashboard tab, they show up. When in the page optimization tab and try to click on a page to see the ranking, score, and tips to improve, it doesn't show any data. The page is almost blank. What happened and how do I fix it?
