Is exact match in FWE working right?
-
When I check the mentions returned by FWE using exact match on a two word phrase, usually only one word is matched. I found this because some of the pages returned as mentions seemed unusual to me. So I started looking through the results and found that the exact match phrase was not on the page returned in many cases. This was the same with AND queries where they were returning results as OR. This is pretty important for brand misspellings where people break the brand name into two words. Am I missing something here?

How many times to repeat the exact keyword?
I'm curious what the suggested number of times is for including an EXACT keyword in a document, OTHER than in the page title, h1 and alt text? What does SEOMoz advocate for this? Bonus credit: What is the consensus on "stop words"? I've read the the search engines ignore these, yet searching for the same query with or without them produces vastly different results... So should they not always be included in one's keyword optimization, above?

How do I get the SERP overlay tool to work?
I have the SEOMoz toolbar installed. In the settings I have a tick next to Display SERP Overlay. When I first activated this it showed up but with no data just continually searching for a long time. Now it is not showing up at all. This is such a great tool, how can I get it working? Thanks, Daniel.
