Problem with the keyword difficulty tool

[Grumpy_Carl]

• sorry if this has been asked/been written about previously, I had a search but couldn't find anything.

I am using the keyword difficulty tool to narrow down on some keywords and whilst the % score for each keyword is being displayed, the Google Adwords data is blank. It just shows the animation as if it was pulling the data but after some ten mins or so not data is pulled, just the animation still running.

Is there a problem with the tool or does the problem lay at my end?

Thanks,

Carl

Thanks for jumping in here Doug. It is a known problem, and we've made a post about it in ZenDesk at https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/21120163-google-adwords-not-displaying-in-keyword-difficulty where you can look for updates. We do have people working on this over the weekend, I know that much.

Carl, it's now displaying the following error message: "Keyword Difficulty Tool is having issues displaying AdWords API data. We are working with AdWords API folks for a fix soon!"

In the meantime you'll have to pop back to the adwords keyword tool to get the traffic numbers.
