Keyword Explorer - root domain (NEW): Domains outside US & Canada - no or no meaningful results
-
Basically I really like and would love to use the new root domain feature in the Keyword Explorer in my daily work. I usually deal with small to medium sized sites in Switzerland.
Looking these up unfortunately it either gives me back nonsense (i.e. keywords that merely have nothing to do with the site; sites are very well keyword optimized) or no data ("There are no results for your search") at all.
Is this going to change in the future (...honestly) or its simply due to the fact that MOZ focuses primarily on US & Canada and maybe huge sites in Europe?
Thanks for your input.
Cheers,
Cesare

Hi Dave,
We have similar issues with the new searching for keywords by root domain functionality in keyword explorer. We are based in Australia and need rankings for google.com.au, which is what we have set up within our campaign ranking reports.
The explorer tool rankings are way off and not accurate for our site's actual rankings. Also, many of the top, high volume keywords that we are tracking and for which we rank on first page for are not even appearing when I do an explorer search using our root domain.
Is the root domain functionality within keyword explorer providing results based on google.com rather than google.com.au? Does this mean that if we are outside the US that we can't use the tool as it is not accurate?
Cheers,
Damien

Hey Cesare, Dave here from the Help Team.
We are working on increasing better functionality around international URLs/Keywords for Keyword By Site, but as for right now its mainly U.S. focused. Sorry for that inconvenience that causes!

Keyword explorer not working
Hi there, The keyword explorer tool has been malfunctioning for the last week. Moz barely seem to have any data (Search Volume) for any keywords I search for, particularly for suggested keywords. It's rather frustrating as I can't explore any keyword opportunities using the Moz keyword tool... I'm based in the UK BTW. Thanks I've attached a screenshot as an example. ZX3Kw3H.jpg

Is a higher or lower score better in keyword ranking
I know this is a weird question, I think I have confused myself with different keyword tools. So if you get a score of 10 for your keyword, should you aim to be closer to 1 or 50?

On-Page Grader is not counting H2 and H3 Keywords
I used on-page grader in one of my webpages and it showed the limit of 15 keywords used. The problem is that it counted only when the keyword appears in the Title, URL, Meta Description, H1, Body and IMG ALT. If you take into account the H2 and H3 tags, the count will go to 22. Is there a problem with the On-Page Grader Tool or it's not a problem to go above 15 keywords if they are in H2 and H3? Here's the link for the page: http://www.tororadar.com.br/acoes/bbse3-bb-seguridade/cotacoes-bovespa Keyword: BBSE3 Thanks in advance.

Open site explorer linking root domains
My company has been trying to increase the number of linking root domains for a specific page on our website using our PR company and press releases that are sent out and linked back to this page. This is working nicely, but the number of linking root domains is still not increasing under the "linking root domains" tab. I am noticing the correct links to this domain under "fresh web mentions" though. I know this tool can take a bit to update, but it has been quite some time and I still only see the one link.
