Moz Tool Bar Annoyance - How do I make the green keyword difficulty box go away?
-
A highly annoying light green keyword difficulty box just started showing up to the right of the search box. How do I make this go away?

Glad the reinstall got it working for you.
There's always the API route too for more custom needs. I'm a long time user as well but can get why they alter tools to display more of their toolset. It's likely a tested value-add for many and newer subscribers. Cheers!

Thanks, Jamie. So uninstalling and re-installing did the trick. Thank you. There is now a whole "new" look. My Mozbar used to provide data on black backgrounds. This is now light grey - and the three modes you describe now work. I have to tell you, I really long for the "old Moz days" when the tools were straightforward and simple. They accomplished very specific tasks. So you used a series of them independently, but they were elegant in their simplicity. Nowadays, Moz tools are so over-designed to try to "do" everything for you all at once. Why we need 3 different modes for a toolbar is beyond me. Sigh. If I could have the old Linkscape interface back, I would take it in a minute. I would also take back the old Rank Tracker. I would change OSE back so you can see the full URLs of your backlinks on screen without having to download all the time. Longing for the good ole days. #rantover

Hi Jen,
Do you have the bar in "DA mode?"
Click it once to put the bar into DA mode which is "half off" or click it again to disable it.
If you don't get those different modes when clicking the "M" button I would uninstall and reinstall the chrome ext.

Hmm. Could be a bug because for me it stays off while using Chrome as a browser. Can you share your browser and OS specs? Staff should be able to better trouble shoot after that. Cheers!

Thank you, Ryan. But, that does not make it go away permanently. Every time I enter a query, it reappears. I'm a Pro member since the days of Linkscape and I am usually signed in. This is so highly annoying, especially since I have to screen grab a lot. I have been using the Moz Tool Bar since inception and this just started happening. Was there a new release? At this point, I am going to uninstall the extension and use OSE directly. If someone knows how to disable this permanently, please advise.

Hi Jen. If you click the Moz "M" to turn off the tool bar it will go away. Click it on if you want it and other features to display again. Cheers!

Should keywords found in a keyword tool (eg. Keyword explorer) be implemented on a page in the exact order?
Hi guys, I have a question about adding keywords found directly from a keyword tool onto a webpage. I see a keyword opportunity from Moz's Keyword Explorer, for example, "dog giardia treatment natural" and was wondering if it should be worked into the page exactly in that order? For example, I've modified the question on the page to now read "Are there any other dog Giardia treatments that are natural?" Is this good practice? Should it be exactly in the order of the keyword found in the tool? Is what I've done too spammy? Appreciate any help! Thanks

Moz Bar doesn't show any data and keeps asking me to log in when actually I'm logged in.
Hi all, I've been using Moz Bar for years. It ran well until about three weeks ago. It suddenly failed to show the DA and PA of sites that I open after I log in. And it keeps asking me to log in when I did. I tried to uninstall the Mozbar extension and reinstalled it several times. Nothing worked. I also tried to uninstall Chrome and clear the cookies, still, nothing changed. Did anyone experience this? How do you solve it and make it run on the track? Any information will be appreciated.

Does "Disallow: /xmlrpc.php" in robots.txt affect moz tools ability to fetch DA?
Just checked a website for Domain Authority using Moz' tool, however it returned 1 for DA, which should be unlikely. I have been trying to find the problem and found "Disallow: /xmlrpc.php" in robots.txt. Could this affect Moz' tools ability to get the required data?

"Keywords Showing" total doesn't match "Tracked Keywords" total
My "Tracked Keywords" total under "Add & Manage Keywords" does not match the total for "Keywords Showing" on the main "Rankings" tab. Why is there a difference? For example, I have 453 tracked keywords attached to my campaign, but under the "Tracked Keywords Overview," there are only 254 listed. I'm sure there's a simple explanation but I can't find it anywhere!

Keyword Explorer is Now Live; Ask Me Anything About It!
Howdy gang - as you probably saw, we launched our biggest new tool in Pro in many years today: https://moz.com/explorer If you're a Moz Pro subscriber, you've already got access. We went ahead and gave folks who were at $99/month before today 300 queries/month. If you're signing up new, $99/month doesn't have KW Explorer access, but the other levels - at $149/month and above, do (5,000+ queries/month). You can read the blog post here for lots of details, but if you have questions or product suggestions, please don't hesitate to ask!

What does the green check mark mean in the KW Difficulty & SERP Analysis Report mean?
Hi, I just generated a Keyword Difficulty and SERP Analysis Report and I find that many of the metrics have a green checkmark besides them. What does that indicate? Similarly, there are many metrics which appear in green. However rest are in grey. Also help what does that indicate? Refer the attached link to the screenshot of the report. I tried looking at a couple of places for the answer but in vain.. Thanks.. DQSlssU

Why'd Moz stop showing the list of users?
Curious to know if anyone else noticed that Moz stopped showing most of the active community users http://moz.com/community/users. It was nice to see who's who from visiting profiles and try to connect with them via email or see their websites, etc. There used to be pagination at the bottom. Why did they stop?
