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

What does "Optimal Use of Keywords in Header Tags" really mean?
I get this explanation on the grader: Although using targeted keywords in H1 tags on your page does not directly correlate to high rankings, it does appear to provide some slight value. It's also considered a best practice for accessibility and helps potential visitors determine your page's content, so we recommend it. Over-using keywords, however, can be perceived as keyword stuffing (a form of search engine spam) and can negatively impact rankings, so use keywords in H1 tags two or fewer times. To adhere to best practices in Google News and Bing News, headlines should contain the relevant keyword target and be treated with the same importance as title tags. But I have the keyword in an H1 tag, only once. So why am getting this message on the grader? The URL is https://www.armsecuritysystems.com/business-security-systems/ The keyword is "business security systems" Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Is Keyword Explorer now providing search volume by country?
I think Keyword Explorer was only providing search volume data for the US (whereas difficulty and opportunity were available at a country level) but recently I've started to see differences between the US volume data and the UK (see examples attached). Does this mean Keyword Explorer is now providing accurate volume data for the UK and other countries? DEIKsVJ 5kels

How is the Moz keyword limit for each plan determined?
I'm sure it's explained somewhere in here but I haven't found it yet so hoping someone can help: I'm on the Pro Basic plan, which allows me 300 keywords. How is the 300 keywords counted? For example, if I've uploaded 100 keywords in the Keyword Difficulty tool, and am also Rank Tracking an additional 75 keywords for a client, is that 75 kw's, 100 kw's, or 175 kw's? Put another way, if I hypothetically do rank tracking for 300 keywords, does that mean I'm not able to enter additional keywords in the Keyword Difficulty tool without deleting some of the kw's from existing accounts? Thanks for the help!

Not receiving emails from Fresh Web Explorer
Hi I set up several alerts on the Fresh web explorer - however I haven't received emails and these we're set up over a month ago. What email address do they come from - I have checked my junk folder but I am thinking I might need to whitelist the email with the developers to receive the emails. Thanks Andy

Keyword Rankings vs. Rank Tracker research tool
I have a campaign tracking several keywords. On my Keyword Rankings report I'm not in the top 50 for anything. When I use the Rank Tracker tool, my rankings are quite high (I have 2 in the top 5). When I use the Rank Tracker tool I've noticed that I'm able to point to specific URLs on my website (not the main page). When looking on my Keyword Rankings report, the URL is usually empty. So what am I missing? Have I configured something incorrectly? Can I update the URLs on the Keyword Rankings report so the rankings will be reflective of the Rank Tracker tool? OSQdLmb nMnOQim

When Moz provides an on-page grade report card, what tells Moz which keyword to grade for?
I just started working with the on-page grader and of couse am particularly interested in fixing my pages with not so stellar grades. Can someone tell me how SEO Moz decides what keyword to grade a page for? I receive a report each week that tells me how many pages I have with A's, B's etc. But what tells Moz to grade a page for a particular keyword? Is it the first keyword listed in the meta description?
