What is the best use of Moz tools in this period?
About keyword difficulty tool i think this is the most tool i will use in the beginning, how i choose which keywords to use from my keywords list, in this time I'm depending on the on page SEO only, no backlinks no social engagements, which keywords to use to appear fast in search engines for a startup? less than "% difficulty " or between, I"m new in this word Please Moz and SEO experts give me a hand here.

Hey buddy...
The best use of Moz tools in this time period, for you, will probably just be the information resources. Just being honest with you--without an understanding of how SEO works or what to look for--the research tools won't be of much help. It's kind of like getting a giant set of mechanics tools without knowing anything about cars. You'll be able to dink around with the wrenches, but more likely than not, you'll just be wasting your time.
My suggestion to you is to research SEO. Learn about on-page optimization. Get a better understanding of keywords, how to use them, search volumes, competition, etc. Focus on creating quality content and then optimize those pages. Once you have a grasp on that, plug in your website and run the on-page grader. Give it some time... Submit a sitemap... Let Google index your site and then review everything you've done. Once you've got a solid foundation double back and start working on links.
This isn't something you just pick up. If you really want to build successful websites you're going to have to do a lot of research/trial and error/dedicate time. Good luck!

Hi Eslam. You're on track with considering keyword difficulty in the early stages. You might also want to take a look at the Fresh Web Explorer and see how popular your considered blog topics are. That will give you some better ideas on social engagement. What topics are coming up quite a bit or generating a lot of conversation. Follwerwonk can give you similar insights into Twitter.
To get a better idea on the difficulty around the percentages in the keyword tool, put the pages that rank for your given term into Open Site Explorer and see how many links those pages have, what kind of domains they're on, the strength of those domains and so on. You'll be able to begin to get an idea around difficulty in that way.
This post: http://moz.com/blog/the-right-keyword-data-for-the-right-job has nice insights into keyword research as does Cyrus' recent Mozinar: http://moz.com/webinars/seo-basics-the-fundamental-signals-used-to-rank-our-content-higher. Cheers!

Unsolved Keyword List Download
I'm just getting starting with MOZ Pro and I may be missing something simple. If MOZ says my site currently ranks for 9.1K keywords, is there a way I can download to CSV that 9.1K list? I have a MOZ Pro account, but haven't figured out how to do this. Thanks for the help!

Why is Moz unable to crawl my site?
Was hoping someone could advise why Moz is unable to crawl my site at https://www.oceaniacruises.com **Moz was unable to crawl your site on Oct 5, 2017. **Our crawler was banned by a page on your site, either through your robots.txt, the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header, or the meta robots tag. Update these tags to allow your page and the rest of your site to be crawled. If this error is found on any page on your site, it prevents our crawler (and some search engines) from crawling the rest of your site. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Moz health check for newbies
Hi I'm on the free trial, I'm finding it really useful. since I was 16 (16years ago) all I've done is cook. After 3 weeks of Moz I feel like I'm or the way to marketing my business instead of having others tell me how to do it. A while back I used to use SEO freelancers to buff my site, but recently I realized that I was not doing enough to promote my business myself, I was trying to pay others to do it for me. I goggled Soe and marketing, of course I found Moz while doing so! The content is exceptional and really goes in depth and we are now coming up with a new content strategy! The problem is that I have this gut feeling that The moz product is worth the money it asks for as I can easily identify the issues or opportunities my site has, I still feel that I lack the competence to use moz to its full potential! Is there an option to have someone skpe me and give me some tips or in sites with in my own campaign? I've spent a lot of time reading the blog content and watching the videos but this all seams to focus on how to get results but not so much on how to use the Moz console/dashboard. I've probably just missed a hole bunch of content but if not do Moz have and option to help set up your Moz analytic and Research so you can get the most relevant info to you? Any help is most welcome Kind regards Ben Horle SussexChef.com

When does Moz update campaign data with new timeframe ?
Hi, I joined Moz community on last week and discovered an amazing tool. I set up my first campaign and I am getting information for a timeframe that's going from 7 to 13 of March. I believe that new data for 14 to 20 of March should be available but I didn't get any update. So, when is Moz supposed to update campaign data with fresh information ? Thanks in advance for such a dumb question. Sébastien

Adding Keywords to rank tracker
I have a rookie question. I started a campaign with the basic analytics package here. I have about 100 keywords I am attempting to paste into the box. I have done this a few times and have seen the "your keywords have been added message" but do not see the keywords below. Fast forward 12 hours still nothing, so I pasted in about 10 of the keywords (same format) and they took. I went to paste 10 more and nothing. What is the best practice for uploading bulk keywords? Also, will they appear only after the 24 hours to determine the rank?
