Unusual Words - How to Check what Google Recognises
-
I want to check which words Google is aware of, I remember Danny Dover talking about "SeoMoz.org" and theorising that Google couldn't understand that SEO was in the URL because it didn't understand that "Moz" was a word and therefore couldn't seperate the 2 words "SEO and "Moz" out.
Any ideas, I thought about using Google Instant but as it comes up with "seomoz" when i type in "seom" so am assuming that this detail is taken from a diffrent source.

I want to check a specific word, Google translate doesn't seem to do much apart from guess no matter what you put in.
Anyone got any ideas?

That's a pretty big ask. Are you just wanting to check a specific word or you looking for general examples?
Best thing I could think to come up with would be to put it into Google translate under detect language and translate into another language. 'moz' seems to be German for example.
I think Google can understand more words than they have in their translate databases though, but very difficult to come up with a test for this. Instant and suggest would both be as bad as each other.

Google Planner monthly keyword search vol. vs SEMRush
Hi, This is an example but if I enter 'architect This is an example but the same thing happens with most keywords - if I enter 'architect cornwall' into Google Planner it tells me there's 90 searches per month. If I enter this into SEMRUSH it tells me there's 320 searches per month. Can anyone explain the difference here - and is one more accurate than the other? Better still is there tool that's more accurate than either of these? I'm completely new to this by the way and the answer is probably obvious. Thanks!

What's the difference between broad and exact match in Google's keyword research tool?
The exact match option shows you much smaller numbers. And Google's explanation of each isn't comprehensive. Can someone explain the difference between the two with examples? Also, which one is it better to target while doing SEO research?

Is there a way to check what keywords a competitor is ranking for?
Hi Guys I have been working on a site and I'm doing better but I just want to ensure I am covering all the bases. I have a list of competitors and I want to see if I can find out what keywords they are ranking for so I can research and see if there is any merit in me trying to rank for those keywords also? Is there any software or processes that any of you can recommend? Thanks

Google keyword tool
Hey anyone noticed Google's keyword tool seems to be returning weird data for search volume compared to just a few days ago? "iron fist clothing" exact match was returning around 1,000 local monthly searches and a monthly trend of approximately the same over the past year. As of yesterday it has zero searches for exact match and even the monthly trends have all been set to zero for every month going back a year Now I suppose this could happen in theory but the fact that the trend is showing up as zero for each month over the last year makes me think this could be a bug. I've also noticed this for one of my keywords on my SEO site, again suddenly gone to zero searches and monthly trends going back a year. However a quick check on webmaster tools shows the impressions going back a few months at the average of 1,300 that the old trend suggested it should be. Anyone else noticed this?
