Keywords moving up, except...
-
The keywords on my page are moving up, except for one. I have routinely ranked between 13-15 for one particular keyword. I am aware that it is a broad term, however, at one point, I showed up on page one at #6, and then dropped right back down to where I was.
The website it "sexaddict.com" and, don't worry, it's for addicts so you won't find anything but help and resources there. The keyword is "sex addiction."
Thanks,
Ryan

The frustrating part of this is that we're doing things the same across the board. Everything else flourishes, except this. Other keywords for this page are sex addiction help, sex addiction treatment, porn addiction, internet porn addiction, sex addiction symptoms.
I agree that the competition is tough. I think the algorithm changes since May of last year have been our demise. We used to be on page one!

haha interesting the things you run into on moz.
So, what are you doing for other keywords that you are not doing for this? Also, are you competing with the same entities for the more successful keywords as in the one that you are having issues with? How long has it been since focusing on this one? Have you compared backlinks of this page and better ranking competitors? Have you checked their social feeds and campaigns perhaps?
There are a lot of factors involved for ranking and this is a rather normal situation, I would bet that particular key phrase is one of the more popular ones and with tougher search competition. You can use adwords keyword planner and a couple other tools out there to find out an idea of these things.

Some more information...
I have attempted on more than one occasion to see who I am being beaten out by and try to mimic, which led to no changes. Then, I took a Whiteboard Friday cue and decided not to go with what other people have done. The 6 Types Model is something no one else talks about in this field and I thought that I had hit the 10x on the nose with it. But, again, nothing is moving.

International Keyword Research
Good morning! I have a quick question about international keyword research. So, I created a keyword list full of terms that we want to analyze in Latin America. My question is around search results. For example, if the keyword I am analyzing in English is "apples" and I choose the region as Mexico, should I submit the keyword to be analyzed as "apples" or the Spanish translation "manzanas"? I am confused as to whether the results account for the translation of someone searching "manzanas" in Mexico to the English term "apples" and how that whole process works. Let me know if I need to elaborate because I understand that the whole question is super confusing haha. Thanks for any help you can give! 🙂

Disparity between new and old keyword planner
Hi everyone! While performing keyword research using both Google's old and new Keyword Planner, I've noticed a disparity between the two tools. In many cases, the old tool gives a much larger monthly search volume than the new tool. There are a few cases where both tools provide the same monthly search volume for a term, but those are few and far between. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance!

Question about keyword
I had read a post in SEOmoz about keywords. According to it, The best keywords are 1. High Volume (many searches/month) 2. Low Competition 3. High Value (large % of visitors convert) My question is how can i find about 2nd and 3rd point. High search volume is shown in many Tools including Google adwords, but how can we be sure to find keywords that are low in competition and at the same time high value.

How to find keywords getting significant traffic
How can we check with the Google Keyword Tool to figure out which keywords are getting significant traffic. Needs explanation for the bolded part. I am referring to the Q and A at - http://www.seomoz.org/q/is-there-a-report-in-seomoz-that-will-show-me-what-keywords-each-page-ranks-for-on-my-site The best way to see the information you're looking for is to take all keywords that sent you an organic search visit for a given time period in your analytics and run them through a rank checker. You can then cross-check this data with the Google Keyword Tool to figure out which keywords are getting significant traffic.
