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.

Keyword Volume - as compared to keyword planner and other tools.
Hi in the rankings for my keywords, the monthly range is so much lower than other keyword tools I use, including google keyword planner, semrush and longtail pro (which all match and show a number much higher than Moz). Support said it's because those tools may group like keywords or singular/plural versions where Moz truly separates each term as a separate term, hence more specific and precise. My question is: If google does somewhat group plural/singular and close match keywords, then wouldn’t it not matter anyways - if someone types a close match keyword and my keyword ends up triggering/displaying as if they typed my targeted keyword - then wouldn’t it still fall under the larger number if in the end it works in displaying my website as a result? If google changes search "blue sky" to "sky that is blue", and you get the same ranking for either of those two keywords then in the end does it matter? I'm thrown for a loop as I spent time optimizing my website based on numbers I received from the other tools and now seeing a much lower number for said keywords and possibly a little higher for a different variation of it, I don't know what to do.

Why is on-demand crawl reporting numbers that are very different than the regualr site crawl by Moz?
When I look at the site crawl available through my dashboard, it reports 22.9K pages crawled. I just ran a on-demand crawl and it is only reporting 6K pages crawled. Why is the number so much lower?

How is the Moz keyword limit for each plan determined?
I'm sure it's explained somewhere in here but I haven't found it yet so hoping someone can help: I'm on the Pro Basic plan, which allows me 300 keywords. How is the 300 keywords counted? For example, if I've uploaded 100 keywords in the Keyword Difficulty tool, and am also Rank Tracking an additional 75 keywords for a client, is that 75 kw's, 100 kw's, or 175 kw's? Put another way, if I hypothetically do rank tracking for 300 keywords, does that mean I'm not able to enter additional keywords in the Keyword Difficulty tool without deleting some of the kw's from existing accounts? Thanks for the help!

Use of Keyword Analysis Tool (espcially regarding search volume)
Hello! I am fairly new to Moz and just starting to explore the available Research Tools. At first glance, I was very excited about the Keyword Analysis tool, but I quickly realized that (a) I wasn't receiving the information I needed and (b) I didn't know what to do with the information it gave me. So... Two specific questions: Is there any way to see the Google Search Volume instead of the Bing Search Volume? The overwhelming majority of our organic site traffic comes from Google, so it seems silly to look at the Bing search volume. How do you deal with the fact that this tool only returns search volume based on an exact match? As we know, there are some many ways the same general query could be entered, but it seems ridiculous for me to sit there and run the tool against every iteration I can think of just to get a general sense of the search volume. Two general questions: What do you find helpful about the Keyword Analysis tool and how does it inform your SEO work? What other tools do you recommend to help determine Google search volume for keywords? Thanks in advance for your help and advice!

Why'd Moz stop showing the list of users?
Curious to know if anyone else noticed that Moz stopped showing most of the active community users http://moz.com/community/users. It was nice to see who's who from visiting profiles and try to connect with them via email or see their websites, etc. There used to be pagination at the bottom. Why did they stop?

Clarify "broad keyword usage in page title"
Hello Page grader has two different grades for page title that I want clarification on. There is "Broad Keyword Usage in Page Title" and "Exact Keyword Usage in Page Title". Googling around about and searching here I have found that "broad" seems to mean the keywords should be used throughout the page, rather than just in the title and header. Which makes sense as this is a kind of check to ensure the page IS about the keywords and not something unrelated. But what is meant by "broad" usage in the page title? This refers specifically to the page title and not the whole document. My best guess got me to this, given the keyword "Visit London Today"; "Come and visit London today" - exact match only "London - visit today" - broad match only "Visit London the city of dreams | visit London today" - matches both That could be complete nonsense, but basically is broad usage the use of keywords scattered in the page title? Thanks.
