Keyword Difficulty: Temporary problem gathering Analysis data
-
I did two searches using the difficulty tool. On the third run report, I encountered an error with a message that there was a temporary problem gathering Analysis data. It said that I should wait 20 minutes and try again.
I have experienced errors with other keyword difficulty tools. I wonder how intermittent this problem is. Is the error known.

I tried the same search tonight and I got some results. After about 5 more tries I got this error again.
I tried the search again for "restaurant dashboard". I worked. New query. Error.
I can't remember what I searched last night.
Here is some info I pulled from Chrome Dev Tools.

Hm. Bummer Samuel!
This isn't really a known error. Very rarely someone will report an intermittent problem with our keyword analysis tool or our rank tracker. When it does come up, it seems to only affect certain keyword/phrase combinations.
We haven't received an in flux in bug reports about this and it remains rare and hard to pin point. We'd love your help in identifying a cause. Would you feel comfortable adding the query you tried to this thread? If not, would you mind emailing help@seomoz.org so we can try the query and look for clues?
We just tried running a query similar to one you ran successfully, and it returned full results.
Thanks for letting us know you had a problem. We'd love your help trying to pinpoint this sneaky bug.
Best,
Sam

Sudden keyword rankings drop
Hi, My latest MOZ report has indicated there has been a significant drop in ranking for 65 keywords, some by as much as 30 places. This is not something I have experienced before and seems very drastic. Is there a reasonable explanation or fix for this? Thanks for any advice!

Keyword research tools
So I went to a panel a while back that said Wordtracker is basically useless. I'm not using it as an end-all, be-all, but more for insights and context. Do you agree with that statement? The hosting company provides a keyword research tool, so I wasn't sure how seriously to take it. Have you guys been using Bing for the search data previously provided by Google's Keyword Research Tool? Do you find that to be a viable resource? Thanks.

What does it mean when two keywords in Google's Keyword Research Tool have exactly the same amount of searches?
The two keywords are [publicity] and [product placement] (both in exact search - not broad) and have 22,200 searches each. Is it purely coincidental or are the two keywords kind of related in Google's eyes and that's why we're seeing the same amount of searches for each?

How does SEOmoz account for articles (a, the) and transitions (in, on) in keywords?
For instance, if I want to track traffic for a sports memorabilia store in Miami, and I only have "sports memorabilia shop Miami" as a keyword to track, will it track traffic of people who visited the shop's site after searching for "sports memorabilia shop IN miami"? Or would I have to use both "sports memorabilia shop Miami" AND "sports memorabilia in Miami"? I know Google doesn't show results with "in", "and", "the", etc., but Google Analytics tracks them, so I'm curious about how SEOmoz does it. Thanks in advance.

How many times to use a keyword on a page?
Okay, so i have read around, and watched Matt Cutts' video on this and read rand's post about this. But, I still have questions; how many times should I use a keyword on a page? I have read for shorter pages 2-3X and 4-6X for longer pages. I know to put it in the url title h1, the first paragraph and sprinkle it around the page. Is it all realtive to how long the content is? or should I just be following the 2-3X and 4-6X rule? Thanks for your help. Peter

E-Commerce keyword question
We sell ItemA. One of the phrases that brings people to our site is "ItemA for sale". Should I just try to target "ItemA" or should I try to get "for sale" in there? I have seen a few other variations such as "on clearance" or "to purchase" as well. Can I just focus on "ItemA" or do I need all of those variants as well?

Confirm my thoughts for this keyword
I'm working with a local kitchen remodeler. In reviewing the organic keyword searches for the last month I notice the word "kitchens" appearing in the top 10 keyword searches. Since I know we aren't ranking for the term "kitchens" I dug deeper. A handful of the searches are from the local area but most are one occurence of searches from cities across the US and the world. My surmise is that because there are 2.2 million searches for kitchens every month we just happen to be scraping enough of these searches, irrelevant as they are to our client, to make it look like an important keyword. Most of the visitors using this keyword are gone in seconds. Just wanted some folks to confirm what I'm thinking - that "kitchens" showing up in our top 10 keywords list is a bit of a red herring - and we should focus on more localized keyword searches.
