Hi Alexandros,
Unfortunately, we do not currently have an update on this issue. It is a very complicated process to correct the formatting in the web app, so it is taking us some time to resolve the problem. I'm very sorry about that.
We will update the entry in our Known Issues form when we have any further information:

I'm having the same issue with Greek characters. Is there any update on this??
-
I'm seeing the exact same problem in Cyrillic.
An 11-character keyword appearing 1293 times in the body. There's not even that much text on the page!
Will email help about this.

Hi Everyone,
We actually have a known issue with some non-Latin character sets that aren't displaying properly in On Page reports, CSV files, and the Web App IU. We have had complaints about Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, and some others character sets. It only affects specific characters, so we still support those languages sets in our tools. As of right now, we aren't sure when this will be fixed, but our engineers are working on the issue.
For now, you can download the export the data to a CSV, you should be able to open UTF-8 CSV files in Excel using the Text Import Wizard, which allows you to specify the encoding of the file you're opening. (Note: this may only work on PC versions of Excel)
a. To start the Text Import Wizard, on the Data tab, in the Get External Data group, click From Text. Then, in the Import Text File dialog box, double-click the text file that you want to import.
b. Under ‘Original data type’, select Delimited
c. In the ‘File origin’ drop-down, select UTF-8
d. Click [Next >]
e. Under Delimiters, select ‘Comma’
f. Click [Next >], then [Finish] and [OK] to save it under the existing worksheet
You can read more about the issue in our Known Issues forum here:

I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello,
We have exactly the same problem in On-Page Optimization tool.
We're getting very high number of keyword results which is not normal. It seems that the tool cannot understand some or all greek characters?
The campaign is settled up correctly with Greek search engine and language.
Is there any solution on this?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Nikos,
Sorry about the trouble with Greek keywords. Almost all of the newer SEOmoz tools, including the PRO platform, are enabled to handle all major character sets, including those found in Greek.
That said, a few of the older tools, such as the Rank Tracker, have trouble with certain characters. In these cases new and better tools are on the way, so the old tools probably won't be fixed.
If you are having trouble with any of the PRO tools understanding Greek, feel free to write the help team (help@seomoz.org) and let them know what words you are having trouble with and where.
Thanks for the heads up!

Nikos,
First, which tool are you trying to use? For Campaigns, Rank Tracker, keyword analysis, etc. there are options on choosing the Search Engine and the country. (Country choice is right after Search engine choice).If you could tell us of the word you are trying to use, website, etc. it would help us assist you.

Unsolved Why did I stop ranking on a keyword and how will I rank on it again?
I often see in my campaigns, that keywords which ranked on a page between spot 1 to 5 on the SERP stop being ranked on that respective page, causing the website to be in the 5th page or worse on Google. I also see that the keyword is not linked to a page anymore. What causes this to happen and how can I solve this from happening in the future? Capture.PNG

Is it still best practice to optimize your site with geographic long tail keywords?
Since Google is tailoring search results to user IP and location, is it still best practice to optimize your site titles etc. with long-tail geographic keywords? For example, instead of optimizing a page for "dentist in West Palm Beach, Florida", search users who are IN West Palm Beach can just search "dentists" and a list of local dentists will be displayed (both in the local listings AND organic search listings). I'd love to see Rand cover this on a Whiteboard Friday!

How long does it take to run a full keyword SERP analysis report?
Pretty much as the title suggests? Not something I'd done before as I normally do it manually and thought I'd give this a whirl.

SEOmoz Keyword Ranking - Does it work for local search?
I was just wondering how SEOmoz calculates keyword rankings up and down every week. Shouldn't there be a way to have SEOmoz calculate rankings on a Local and Non-Local Basis? For example I have "Local Dentist" as a keyword in SEOmo for my dental client. SEOmoz shows that we are not in the Top 50. | Local dentist Keyword History Ranking Analysis | Not in Top 50 | Moved unknown 0 spaces | Not in Top 50 | Moved unknown 0 spaces | Not in Top 5 | If I change my location in Google browser to the zip of where the office is located, we

Avoid Keyword Stuffing in Document
I have been implementing changes to our site outlined by the
Moz Pro | | Confused.com
on-page report tool. One of the most common issues it highlighted with our site
was Avoid Keyword
Stuffing in Document. I have started reducing the number of
keywords on each page so it falls under the recommended 15. So far we haven’t
seen any positive effects from this and i am a little concerned we might be
seeing some negative effect (very early days). Has anyone else implemented this change recently and what effect
did it have? Is this recommendation more in preparation to the up and coming
update from Google that will penalise over optimised sites? Any info much appreciated Jos Davies0 -
Keyword tool: SEOMOZ spacific month ? vs adword tool 12 month average but same data ???
Running a keyword analysis in SEOMOZ it shows my the folowing information "Local Search Volume (Dec)". I compared the data for the specific country , language and keyword with the adwords keyword tool and it exactly showed me the same numbers. The adwords keyword tool shows: "Local Monthly Searches: This column shows the approximate 12-month average number of search terms matching each keyword" http://support.google.com/adwords/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=25148 So if the numbers are the same in google keword tool and SEOMOZ why is SEOMOZ saying that for a specif month? If the data is the same one of both can not be right or probaly I didn't get the point. See screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/GyaaW7EkwV Thanks for help

Capitalisation of campaign keywords - why does this affect traffic but not rankings?
Having accidentaly entered keywords into my campaign with both upper-case initial letters ("Product Design") and lower-case initial letters ("product design") I find that the rankings are, as expected, identical. However, the traffic generated by the keywords is markedly different. Does this mean that the two versions of the keyword should be treated like totally seperate keywords in future? Indeed, should I be entering all variants of capitalisation into future keyword campaigns (such as "product Design" and "Product design") if I wish to get the full picture in future? Any answers would be welcome. David in Scotland

On-Page Keyword Optimization Question
First let me say I want to improve the text of the site I am working on focusing on the site visitor in the first instance. I run the "On-Page Keyword Optimization" The page fails on "Avoid Keyword Stuffing in Document... ...Occurrences of Keyword 48" well over the limit of 15. The occurrence include those in the site navigation and strapline, but it was my understanding that Google was aware of nav areas/areas common to most other pages on the site and that keywords in these areas weren't viewed as being part of the page content. The keyword is the main keyword for the company, and the page is the home page i.e. "acme widgets" the others are "acme widgets for the home"... well you get the idea: The page breaks down as follows: 5 instances in primary nav 1 instance strapline 3 instances secondary nav Remainder in page body I am told by the tool to reduce to 15 instances, so should I? Have 9 instances in the nav and other areas and 6 or so on the page Have 9 instances in the nav and other areas and 15 or so on the page
