Small Doubt about Google Keyword Tool Search Data
-
No. of searches for some query in Google Keyword Tool for a specific country shows data for last 12 months or for last 1 month? Please reply.

No - you haven't blocked visitors from other countries - you've just given an indicator to Google that your site is relevant for visitors from a particular country.
If you have a site geared towards people living in the UK, you tell Google that this site is relevant for people in the UK. This will tell them the site should show up in UK searches or about a particular topic relating to the UK, but for a similar query in the US, the site is not relevant. You haven't blocked users from other countries so much as you've told the search engine this site should be shown for users from this country.
If you're targeted a language based demographic, like Arabic speakers, you wouldn't use the geotargeting tool, because you want arabic speakers from multiple countries. That's how the tool works.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions.

Also answer this please
I have geo targeted my domain for my country. Does it mean that I have blocked visitors from other countries.

Thanks @Mark. Now I know that it is actually averaged value for the last 12 months. Thanks once again

The aggregate columns you are showing are monthly averages. You can also show the column for monthly search volume - once you've turned on this setting, when you export it, the csv will include the searches per month - this is helpful for understanding seasonal keyword trends

Is there any value to meta keywords?
The more I read the more I realize that meta keywords are not as helpful as they once were. Is there any SEO value to meta keywords anymore or should the emphasis be put on the content and title tags in regards to keywords? As always, I appreciate any feedback.

Suggestions for RU Keyword Research
Does anyone have suggestions for a better RU keyword tool than Yandex and/or is there a way to see exact searches in Yandex's keyword tool? It seems like the data is not at all accurate. For example - we are ranked #2 for a keyword which has over 40,000 monthly searches (searches according to Yandex keyword tool and position confirmed with someone doing a manual search in Russia). However, we are not getting any traffic for this keyword and according to Yandex webmaster tools the keyword only got 10 impressions this past month. Any ideas for me... or would using Google be preferable eventhough people in Russia don't really use Google?

Google search results
Does Google always return the results of a search query in a broad based fashion if the searcher does not use brackets or quote marks? Or, do they display the older domains of sites with authority under the broad based parameters and newer sites only if there is a possible exact match? How does Google decide which type of search results to display? Thanks for any insight. I

The tools "term extractor" and "explore links" consistently give no data
I am accessing these tools from the "Rankings Report" page and looking at competitors pages. I click on the dropdown next to the keyword and select either "extract terms" or "explore links". In both cases I get a message that says SEOmoz has no data for the page in question. This happens consistently for many keywords and pages. What gives?
