Thanks for the feedback Matt - definitely something we're looking into as we work on the next iteration of the tool. I think going up in report limits is something we can certainly do for the higher tiers in the future.

Keyword difficulty tool is brilliant but the 500 limit is too low for agency use. If you even put it up to 1000, we'd be able to use it for pretty much every client but 500 gets us about 5 hours into the day before we're out. I know 500 would work for most people most of the time - but you're missing those who are obsessed with the tool and would write about it, talk about it more, etc. if we could use it as a full time thing like we used to.

Moz Toolbar "Get Keyword Difficulty"
New Moz Pro user here, and I've a question about the green "Get Keyword Difficulty" button that shows up to the right of the Google Search Keyword Term Input field after a successful search. Clicking on this seems to have no effect for me what-so-ever. Doesn't take me to the keyword tool, download a report, or add anything to the one screen link analyses in the search results. In short, i'm not sure how this tool is supposed to function. I'm using the latest version of Google Chrome (Version 52.0.2743.60 beta-m (64-bit)) on a Windows 10 machine.

Why Moz Back links check tool is very Slow compared with other tools?
I've created a new website 50 days old with a vision of sharing high-quality content. I created some pages which are useful and helpful, what make other people link to my site. Early days, two weeks ago I've started checking my backlinks starting with Ahref and majestic. three days ago I decided to join Moz too and use Moz explorer. But, I discovered that Moz tool is too slow compared with other tools. Why? Starting with Ahref. They discovered more than 100 links and updating their data for my site as a new website every 6 hours as I know. Also majestic for the first time discovered six links then every two days they updating their data. Even Google discovered some of my backlinks. Specially links from high-quality sites such as Wikipedia with high-quality pages. Moz tool discovered zero of my backlinks even after subscribing. I don't think Moz need to discover websites like Wikipedia which already indexed by Moz. So, I wonder Why Moz tools are very very very slow like that? Update: (This is a question, not a discussion. So, please don't edit it) Can any Moz support answer please? Thanks.

OpenSite Explorer
Hello Moz World, Does anyone know how long it takes Moz's OpenSite Explorer to recognise / index back links? I have generated a number of back links for pages in the last 7 days (not "no-follow") and they are not yet showing up? Any advise would be much appreciated. Kind regards Ben
