Best use of Keyword Rankings report

is there a guide for getting the most out of the keyword ranking tool?
I currently have 250 or so keywords, some move up, some move down on a weekly basis but generally trend up. That's about as much info as I gain from it though.
anyone got any good tips?
thanks

Ben, My suggestion is to look at it as a broad swathe tool that can give you a ton of good data which will allow you to dig deeper. First: you can look between your rankings and your competitors by toggling the Show menu. You can see an overview with what improved or declined in a week and then by sorting on change under traffic or one of the search engines, you can make the order show most decline or most increase first. Now you are looking at what is moving. You can do the same with traffic if you have enabled GA.
At the end of a given term, you see a clock and an ecg screen icon. If you click on the clock you will see the history of all this. If you click on the ecg screen icon you get a competitive ranking analysis and keyword analysis. To me, that is a great feature. Also, I like the ability to see universal rankings, video and image rankings.
So, I look at the big picture, do a bit of drill down as needed, then if I need to, I look at some other tools to see where it is all headed or what I need to do to fix or improve.
Hope that helps,
Robert

SEO Keyword Research
Is there a way to insert Google API into Excel? I want to have a search volume column that would automatically fill out with query Another question is that I have a list of keywords in one column in Excel with another column that have search volume. I then go and do some research on keyword groups with a grouping tool but if this tool doesn't find a group for a keyword it removes it. So then when I want to copy and past keywords and match keyword columns in excel that already exist with search volume I have to do it manually because some rows are missing. Is there a way this could be done automatically so that when I paste it in the column with keywords it automatically finds that the current column exists and adds a group column ?

GA: How can non related kws show up in the organic report?
Hi mozzers, I have a site A: www.example.com (with its own branded kws) SiteB: subdomain.example.com Site A and B are related and belong to the same company. Site B was released a couple months ago. ISSUE: I have noticed branded kws from Site A showing up on Site B's GA which doesn't make any sense. I try to make searches in the SE with those kws and not a single search showed the Site B(subdomain). What is weird is that 2 months ago had a an issue with bounce rate on site B showing a 0% bounce rate, then I discovered that we had 2 GATC on site, removed the extra code and bounce was back to normal. Since then I have seen a rise of branded kws from Site A to Site B. Can someone help me here figuring out what is wrong? Thanks

Interpreting Keyword Difficulty Tool results
I have been running various reports using the Keyword Difficulty tool. The columns are color coded - are there one set of signals that are more important than others? I am trying to analylze why we are ranking where we are and where our competitors are weak enough to overcome in a short term. I cannot seem to find a formula for the top indicatators for moving up in ranking. One of my sites in ranking number 5 but is neck and neck with the number one site for results. The other site is number 6 for the same term but has virtually no strength in the data like links, mozrank, trust, Social, etc...The sites 7-10 are much stronger on data. Maybe since they are from the same C block that helps? Any advice or experience would be helpful.
