Keyword Difficulty Tool not working?
-
I just started using SEOMoz and I was running some searches with the Keyword Difficult Tool. It was going swell until about 10 hours ago when I begun getting this message:
"Uh oh... there was a temporary problem gathering Analysis data for your request. Sorry about that! We're actively looking into resolving these intermittent issues, but in the meantime, try submitting your request again in 20 minutes. Thank you!"
I gave it time to no avail. It has been about 10 hours since then and I can't KDT at all.
Am I doing something wrong or is it on the SEOMoz side? Everything else works just fine.

Hi Sam,
This is a different problem from what was reported in October. If you go to your PRO dashboard, there's a section for known issues, and there's a link to our post at https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/22457872-keyword-difficulty-and-rank-tracker-issues explaining the current status. We're also keeping people informed on the Help Hub home page, our Facebook page, and our Twitter stream. Feel free to send us an email at help@seomoz.org if there is anything more we could help answer.

STILL NOT WORKING!
Given this is the only tool that I actually need SEOMoz for it would obviously be helpful for me and all your other clients if you could attend to all these comments and sort the tool out because as simply does not work.
-
Hi! We actually had an outage for about two hours this morning while we did some upgrades. Are you still having a problem now?
-
And it's still having this problem three months after the original post. Come on - make your products work properly!
-
I'm not sure of the timing on the traffic numbers right now. Those you can get by going directly to Google Adwords, however. I'll keep this updated as I know more.
-
It is now Sept. 24 and the tool is currently gathering data on the diff score, but not the traffic numbers. Any clue as to when the tool will be up and running in its complete form?
-
Please can someone fix the keyword tool? It is consistently experiencing usage problems.
-
Hi! The current outage is not related to the outage from July. We have had issues with this tool since Friday, and are working on it, and will be tweeting as we have more info. We're not happy about the issue either, and have been working on it since Friday, including on the long holiday weekend.

Still not working here

still not working..

I have this same issue. Is it something specific to trial users?
-
Your reply didn't help much as this still doesn't work !!!
-
Hey guys! Just another reminder that if you're having issues with the tools specifically please send us an email at help[at]seomoz.org.
Thanks!

Hi Adrian!
So sorry about the slow response today, we do try to be as absolutely responsive as possible even on the weekend. In the future if you ever have any issues with the tools please send us an email at help[at]seomoz.org. That is usually the quickest way to get in touch with us.
Q&A is a great place to get your general SEO and other inbound marketing questions answered, but may not get the quickest place for a support type of question.
We'll definitely keep everyone posted on what's happening with the Keyword Difficulty Tool.
Thanks!

Thank you Keri.
The hours of operation should indeed be a lot more clear. Even on the Help page it just says "we pick up the phone from 7 to 5". Customer service schedule and hours of operation are different.
The best would be if these details would show up in the error message itself. Something like "try again in 20 minutes BUT if you're working outside our hours of operation don't expect the problem to be fixed before 7 am the next day". This way I can go do other things rather than stubbornly retrying every 20 minutes.

Hi everyone!
We're sorry for the problems here, and we're looking into it now. We also discovered that our handy new Help Hub page does mention our help desk hours of 7am to 5pm Pacific Time, but we forgot to put that it's just Monday through Friday. We are often around on the weekends to respond to things, but not as fast as on a weekday, and we apologize. We'll also be updating the help hub real soon so our hours are more clear. Thanks for your patience!
Keri Morgret
[edited to make clear the hours are for the help desk]

Couldn't agree more. This will be huge factor when I decide if I want to subscribe or cancel once my trial runs out.
This is internet
You can't afford to take weekend off - If you don't want to work on weekends outsource it.
-
... and 24 hours later still not working and still no reply from SEOMoz. I guess they're closed on weekends. So much for that first impression that counts ...
-
This is still not working.... and no response lol.
-
I too have this problem. Unable to get keyword difficulty score.

I have the same problem

Keyword Troubles!
I have a network security company http://NBGnetworks.com I've searched high and low on google adwords and with ubersuggest but I can't seem to find any keywords that have traffic and aren't medium or harder. In-fact I've found hundreds of keywords that have no searches at all and are still listed as medium by MOZ. Can any fellow MOZers help me?! Thanks, -Nick

Keyword Rankings Compare to X not working
Anyone else having trouble with the compare your keyword positions with competitors section of the analytics? The rankings for my site(s) are fine but whichever competitor I click on to compare rankings to just returns 'Not in Top 50' the competitor is ranking. I have just manually checked and they are very much listed in the engine. Is this tool broken?

What SEO Tools Do You Use?
Things changed a bit for me when Raven Stopped using google and SemRush data and I haven't exactly found a solution I'm happy with so Just wanted to use what people use alongside SEOMoz, or what they use instead of certain parts of SEOMoz. Before I was using Raven Tools, Screaming Frog SEO Crawler but currently I'm using Screaming Frog SEO Crawler, SEOMoz (trial), and SerpIQ (trial).

Significance of SEOmoz`s keyword difficulty
Hello everybody, currently, I am working on a project that will be available in multiple languages. My problem concerns the difference of the German and English language in relation to the SEOmoz`s Keyword difficulty (KWD). I just finished my German keyword research and got a satisfying collection of keywords I can use according to the KWD, page/ domain authority, Backlinks and Onpage-check. Now, as I am doing my research for the English market I find it hard to find any appropriate keywords with a satisfying KWD. I imagined the ranking on the English market to be much harder but now I doubt to ever rank for any useful, effective keyword on my list, because most of them are over 70 (some important over 80). According to the research it seems to have something to do with the authority strength of the pages, trust, etc, because they do not have more backlinks. Since they are query independent it is very hard for me to get a feeling for those metrics (I am new at SEO). So here are my questions: Due to your experiences, is it even possible to derank such pages or should I simply save the effort? How significant is the SEOmoz`s KWD? Would you always do Onpage optimization (text, internal linking) in case you earn more trust, authority, etc in the future, just to have your site optimized on the best keyword possible, even though you know that you cannot rank for that keyword (Cue: User-experience)? Or would you switch to less significant words (e.g. flashcards -> index cards) where you have a chance to rank but which is not that effective with traffic? Or focus on longtail, if possible? Many thanks

Meta keywords no longer in use
Can someone point me to the official article explaining why meta keywords are no longer taken into account by search engines please? I know Moz has indicated that search engines ignore them, but I would like to read a bit more about it - what was the reason behind it and since when.

How does the PRO Q&A forum work?
OK, so the SEOMoz PRO Q&A forum is officially awesome since the redesign. It works amazingly well guys - thanks for a great resource! I'm wondering, what technologies have you used to make it work so well? Is the Q&A forum totally custom, or does it run on top of another 3rd-party / open source / web app structure? We're thinking about doing something similar for our business (not in the SEO space, so don't worry 😉
