What is the difference between Keywords Lists and Keywords Labels?
-
What is the difference between Keywords Lists and Keywords Labels - Aren't they both just ways to create logical keyword groups?
Also, what does the Tracked label imply - If a keyword is added to a "keyword list" does it also automatically get tracked?
-
A follow-up question - when should I be adding keywords to "Lists" vs. "Campaigns"? What are the pros and cons of each feature? The guide doesn't quite address these questions.

Hi there!
Thanks so much for the great questions! Sorry for any confusion around this. Keyword Lists are used in our Keyword Explorer tool to help with keyword research. The keywords in your keyword list here may not be ones you're ready to track long term in your Campaigns or that you're scoping out for data/more research. I have a guide here that talks more about these and how to use them which may be helpful.
Keyword Labels are used within your Campaigns to help group your keywords so you can sort and filter them into different segments, if needed. We talk more about this here in our Help Hub, as well.
Within Keyword Explorer, we'll mark a keyword as "tracked" if you are tracking that keyword in a Campaign. Adding keywords to your Keyword Lists in Keyword Explorer will not automatically track them in your Campaigns.
I hope that all helps to clarify! If you have any other questions, feel free to send us an email at help@moz.com.

Does Organic CTR from Keyword Explorer show percentage of 1st position clicks? If not, how to calculate?
I have two questions about the Organic CTR number from the Moz Keyword Explorer tool. I have read through the description here, but it is not very clear on what I need to know: https://moz.com/community/q/what-is-a-good-keyword-opportunity-score Does it calculate the percent of searchers that are likely to click on ANY of links from page one of the traditional organic search results? Or does it calculate the percent of searchers that are likely to click on the NUMBER 1 position of the traditional organic search results? I suspect the answer will be that it calculates the percentage of clicks for any of the traditional organic search results from page one. Which leads me to question two... I'm trying to calculate the estimated search traffic from each keyword if there was a number 1 ranking. And if the Organic CTR shows the percentage of clicks going to any of the traditional organic search results I need to add a modifier to my formula which will calculate how many clicks the number 1 ranking receives. So I think the formula would will look something like this: Monthly website traffic from keyword = monthly search traffic * Organic CTR * Number 1 Position CTR. In this case, what would I use for the "Number 1 Position CTR" modifier?

Keyword explorer not working
Hi there, The keyword explorer tool has been malfunctioning for the last week. Moz barely seem to have any data (Search Volume) for any keywords I search for, particularly for suggested keywords. It's rather frustrating as I can't explore any keyword opportunities using the Moz keyword tool... I'm based in the UK BTW. Thanks I've attached a screenshot as an example. ZX3Kw3H.jpg

Does Moz's keyword tool pull data from your IP address?
Does anyone know how Moz's keyword tool pulls their keyword ranks? Do they take it based off of the IP (history and cookies) that is being used? I am trying to find a way to collect keyword data that is neutral and not based off of my previous searches, etc. TIA

Is a higher or lower score better in keyword ranking
I know this is a weird question, I think I have confused myself with different keyword tools. So if you get a score of 10 for your keyword, should you aim to be closer to 1 or 50?

Keyword Difficulty and Analysis
Hi There - I'm using MOZ's keyword difficulty and analysis tool to understand the difficulty of a given set of keywords. To my surprise- I appear number 1 on Google, for a keyword with a difficulty of 36% On the other hand, for few other with difficulty in range 16% - 25%, I appear on the second or third page. In regards to page optimization, and back links i'm far better off on these ones than the other one (with 36%). Any reason why that would be the case ? PS: I've already analyzed the possibility of DA or PA, but it doesn't make sense. As the latter ones always scores better. Thanks, K

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!
