Keyword explorer and Scandinavia
-
Hi, congrats on launching keyword explorer!
Is the data primarily focused on the US and other larger markets, I see that for the keywords I put in I'm not getting any volume data? When can we expect this to change?
Best regards,
Anders

Hi Anders - totally not your fault; it's ours. We have volume data that's US-centric currently, and don't have data for Norway (or other countries) yet. We're working first on UK, Canada, and Australia, and then will try to get other countries' search volume data, too.
Apologies for that - in the meantime, my suggestion is to use AdWords KW Planner data for volume and select the specific country.

Hi Kristina, thank you for your reply.
I of course selected Norway from the drop-down.
I guess I did a bad job at explaining the issue. Here I go:
I believe the problem lies in the algorithm, when I type in words I know are the most searched after in Norway I get 0-10 as a volume score. I therefore wonder if the algorithm is weighted correctly, since Norway only has 5 million people it's logical that we can't be using the same search volume scales as the US. But to me it seems that this is the case, and that you guys should improve on this so that I can get realistic volume results based on the search market size.
Does this clarify? I guess this could almost could be tagged as a feature request, but I know you guys are brilliant so I thought you would have thought of this already.

Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here. Thanks so much - we really hope you're enjoying the tool!
In the Keyword Explorer search box, you have the option of choosing the country in the drop down box next to the search box. Here is a screenshot of the field I'm referring to: http://screencast.com/t/4hU9IurJVw
Does changing this field based on the country you're interested in help at all?
Thank you,
-Kristina

Is there a way to view difficulty for related keyword suggestions?
I'd really like to view the difficulty/organic CTR/priority of suggested related keywords without having to click on each individually - is there a way to do this?

We have tried Keyword Explorer for several websites today using the domain, subdomain and exact page option. None of these are returning keyword results. Is the tool currently broken? As a test we tried Amazon.com, see screenshot: JbWsaLi.png

Understanding Keyword Explorer SERP Analysis
Hi Guys Based on the attached SERP analysis provided by Keyword Explorer, the term 'silver jewelry' appears to have a lot of potential; it has good search volume, high opportunity and potential scores; however when you look at the metrics associated with the top 3 competing sites, and the fact page 1 is dominated by major brands with equally good metrics, then a difficulty score of 26, meaning easy; seems a bit unrealistic. I would like to hear what others have to say, or am I missing something here. Regards Peter H96KVmH

Keyword Ranking Question - Paid Ads?
Hi everyone. I have a question about the Keyword Ranking tool. I am currently tracking 93 keywords. My question is, does the ranking count just organic rankings or does it count if my company is spending money on a google ad? So for instance, if all paid ads were stopped on Google, the current keywords we rank for according to the MOZ tool shouldn't change, right? Thanks.
