Keyword Difficulty Tool not working?
-
I just started using SEOMoz and I was running some searches with the Keyword Difficult Tool. It was going swell until about 10 hours ago when I begun getting this message:
"Uh oh... there was a temporary problem gathering Analysis data for your request. Sorry about that! We're actively looking into resolving these intermittent issues, but in the meantime, try submitting your request again in 20 minutes. Thank you!"
I gave it time to no avail. It has been about 10 hours since then and I can't KDT at all.
Am I doing something wrong or is it on the SEOMoz side? Everything else works just fine.

Hi Sam,
This is a different problem from what was reported in October. If you go to your PRO dashboard, there's a section for known issues, and there's a link to our post at https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/22457872-keyword-difficulty-and-rank-tracker-issues explaining the current status. We're also keeping people informed on the Help Hub home page, our Facebook page, and our Twitter stream. Feel free to send us an email at help@seomoz.org if there is anything more we could help answer.

STILL NOT WORKING!
Given this is the only tool that I actually need SEOMoz for it would obviously be helpful for me and all your other clients if you could attend to all these comments and sort the tool out because as simply does not work.
-
Hi! We actually had an outage for about two hours this morning while we did some upgrades. Are you still having a problem now?
-
And it's still having this problem three months after the original post. Come on - make your products work properly!
-
I'm not sure of the timing on the traffic numbers right now. Those you can get by going directly to Google Adwords, however. I'll keep this updated as I know more.
-
It is now Sept. 24 and the tool is currently gathering data on the diff score, but not the traffic numbers. Any clue as to when the tool will be up and running in its complete form?
-
Please can someone fix the keyword tool? It is consistently experiencing usage problems.
-
Hi! The current outage is not related to the outage from July. We have had issues with this tool since Friday, and are working on it, and will be tweeting as we have more info. We're not happy about the issue either, and have been working on it since Friday, including on the long holiday weekend.

Still not working here

still not working..

I have this same issue. Is it something specific to trial users?
-
Your reply didn't help much as this still doesn't work !!!
-
Hey guys! Just another reminder that if you're having issues with the tools specifically please send us an email at help[at]seomoz.org.
Thanks!

Hi Adrian!
So sorry about the slow response today, we do try to be as absolutely responsive as possible even on the weekend. In the future if you ever have any issues with the tools please send us an email at help[at]seomoz.org. That is usually the quickest way to get in touch with us.
Q&A is a great place to get your general SEO and other inbound marketing questions answered, but may not get the quickest place for a support type of question.
We'll definitely keep everyone posted on what's happening with the Keyword Difficulty Tool.
Thanks!

Thank you Keri.
The hours of operation should indeed be a lot more clear. Even on the Help page it just says "we pick up the phone from 7 to 5". Customer service schedule and hours of operation are different.
The best would be if these details would show up in the error message itself. Something like "try again in 20 minutes BUT if you're working outside our hours of operation don't expect the problem to be fixed before 7 am the next day". This way I can go do other things rather than stubbornly retrying every 20 minutes.

Hi everyone!
We're sorry for the problems here, and we're looking into it now. We also discovered that our handy new Help Hub page does mention our help desk hours of 7am to 5pm Pacific Time, but we forgot to put that it's just Monday through Friday. We are often around on the weekends to respond to things, but not as fast as on a weekday, and we apologize. We'll also be updating the help hub real soon so our hours are more clear. Thanks for your patience!
Keri Morgret
[edited to make clear the hours are for the help desk]

Couldn't agree more. This will be huge factor when I decide if I want to subscribe or cancel once my trial runs out.
This is internet You can't afford to take weekend off - If you don't want to work on weekends outsource it.
-
... and 24 hours later still not working and still no reply from SEOMoz. I guess they're closed on weekends. So much for that first impression that counts ...
-
This is still not working.... and no response lol.
-
I too have this problem. Unable to get keyword difficulty score.

I have the same problem

What are Keywordbasket.com & Keyword-suggest-tool.com. Competitors have Tons of these
My client is in the Custom Scale Model industry. They build Custom Aircraft Models, Custom Ship Models and more. Their competitor's Backlinks reports have a Ton of metrics coming from: http://www.keywordbasket.com and https://www.keyword-suggest-tool.com There is line after line of these entries in the backlink report. As much as 50 line entries. what exactly is happening here? Are they manually using these tools to generate search entries and caching this data in the form of Backlinks? Please explain. is this a Gray Hat Tactic?

Checking multiple keywords in Rank tracking
Besides the rankings in the campaigns i want to check 100+ keywords at once in rank tracking. Is this possible and if not why? It says i can check 400 keywords a day but manually entering them is time consuming and that's exactly why i use SEOMOZ, to save time.

Importing Keywords... WITH tags?
Is this possible? I've found how to export to a CSV and copy/paste these into the usual keyword management page. Ideally, I would like to export/import the full information, along with the tags...... I have several brands that have a brand.com and a brandstore.com Any other cross-domain features I should be aware of? Thanks in advance......

This stuff works - but be patient
..or subtitled "This is how I did it" Managed to get clients second most important keyword to #1 on Google recently (most important is about 5 or 6, am getting there with that one) 🙂 Yes, we all know 'rankings aren't important, traffic/searches are' but you know what - when a Client sees their keyword at #1 it kinda helps getting paid. Thus, in summary, this is how I did it. I don't think there's anything earth shattering here but it might help a few out as I see so many 'where do i start' type posts. 1 - Do everything within Webmaster Tools that is humanly possible. Sitemaps, fix errors, preferred domain the lot. Spend ages here! 2 - Get your on page optimisation sorted out. Decide on THE main keyword for page, fire it into your campaign and test it. Do not give up until it's an A and you've done ALL the tips/hints (yes, even bold text on the page.) It's obvious but you have to tell a Search Engine exactly what the page is about - and give it a few hints too. 3 - Links - ahhh, good old links the bain of our lives. This site was struggling for links so i bought some - yes, the shame of it. I still think the best directories are a good starting point, spent about £400 or so. (BOTW, JoeAnt, HotVsNot etc,) Also, find low hanging fruit places for links. See where top 3 or 4 competitors are getting links from (via OSE) and get your site linked there too. These aren't always chargeable. 4 - Get rid of as many errors you can from Crawl Diagnostics (Roger) and do everything you can to ensure page(s) load as quick as possible. e.g. for images, resize them and reduce colour depth. 5 - Go over Steps 1-4 again and again AND AGAIN. I think that's about it (will add anything if i think of it), this all took about 4-5 months - not to do the SEO work but for Google (or any SE) to recognise it all, so thanks to all at SEOmoz, the blogs and this forum for all the assistance. (Just need to get Linkscape updated quicker now folks - i couldn't resist that one!)

What time of day are keyword rankings updated
The keyword rankings in one of my campaigns update on Tuesday. It looks like they updated today but when I downloaded to CSV, some say last Tuesday. Is this because they didn't change or are they still updating? Today is Tuesday. i.e., do they update at a specific time and if so, what time?

Keyword ranking - authority information
How can you explain that a website (not mine) appears on 1st place in Google (on the Keyword Difficulty Tool/Ranking Analysis) but the Page Authority, Page Linking Root Domains, Domain Authority, and Root Domain Linking Root Domains are much lower than the other websites on the list. Even when running the On-Page Report Card, this website gets grade F comparing to the other (including mine) websites that get better grades. I just want to understand which criteria I'm missing that can explain why a website appears on first place when it seems it's not well optimized. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
