Find New Keywords Tool - Information is not accurate
-
When using the Find New Keywords tool, the information listed for Rank is often incorrect. I attached an image with two screen shots. One from the Find New Keywords Tool and the other is a Google search results page.
In Incognito mode, I searched for the third item on the list, "Speak Creative Memphis." The results put us at #1 for that term, but the Keyword Tool shows that we're #4.
Can you help me understand why there is a difference?

Thanks, Megan. That makes perfect sense. I appreciate you making that more clear!

Hi Jacob,
This is Megan from the SEOmoz Help Team. I spoke with one of our engineers and found that the rank section of 'Find New Keywords' isn't referring to rank in the traditional sense related to the SERPs. What the 'rank' refers to in this instance is the rank of that keyword within the keywords sending traffic to your site. So, "Speak Creative Memphis." is 4th in sending you the most traffic out of the keywords on the list based on the number of visits last week.
Sorry this is confusing! I'll definitely see what we can do about making this more clear.
Cheers!

Your #1 on SEOMOZ http://db.tt/7RbO3SxF shows what I got

The reason for this is google puts more power in the first words "Speak Creative Memphis" the other is you did not use a , it should be "Speak Creative, Memphis" not "Speak Creative Memphis" and Facebook has a page rank like no other. Google thinks that's one keyword. Hope I have helped, Tom

Unsolved Ranking not collecting keywords
Hi, we recently migrated our blog to be on the same domain as our main website. It's been about a month. I have continued adding more keywords we'd like to track to our Ranking list on Moz. But it's been a week and the keywords are still not collecting. Is this something we need to fix on our end, or is there something going on with Moz? keyword ranking issues.png

Tracking keywords beyond #50 in the rankings?
Although Moz does a great job of tracking keyword rankings within the "top 50", a lot of the time with new sites and new content we are trying to track improvement in performance way out beyond that (just trying to get into the top 50). Although Moz tells me that a keyword has moved up or down outside the top 50, without knowing the actual position it's hard to reconcile that in terms of improvement. Is there a tool out there that will do what Moz does for the top 200?

SEOmoz campaign - keyword rankings...
Hi there, I have a quick question: Does it make a difference if I add keywords to a campaign with the '[' and ']' brackets included? I just realized that I had copy/pasted many of my keywords from the exported CSV from the Google AdWords Keyword Tool and I fear that the keyword rankings on SEOmoz might factor the brackets as part of the keywords themselves. Thanks in advance! Ben

If there a basic overview of the SEOMoz Pro tools?
I'm surprised there is no simple overview of all the features anywhere, or a guide on how to use the tools? There's a nice intro video, and a good beginners guide, then BAM! - straight into the Pro Tools (it's a bit daunting for someone learning!) Or at least that I can find... and help or pointers would be great 🙂

Where is the keyword difficulty tool data sourced from?
I also use Market Samurai, and I've noticed what seem to be big discrepancies with the keyword data presented by this (data comes from Majestic SEO) and the Keyword Difficulty Tool. To take just one example, I analyze the term "how to remove tea stains" In the Keyword Difficulty Tool, this returns the following: Root Domain Linking Root Domains: 2,233 Page Linking Root Domains: 4 When I use Market Samurai, however, the data returned is: RDD (Domains linking to this domain): 19,911 RDP (Domains linking to this page): 19 I thought that these two metrics were the same for both tools, but I've written them out in case someone sees a difference. As I say, Market Samurai data is sourced from Majestic SEO - a reputable SEO company - but I have no idea where the Keyword Difficulty Tool data is from, nor why these differences are so pronounced? Are they indeed the same metrics in both cases, or am I missing something? Any insight would be much appreciated.
