What is the difference between Keywords Lists and Keywords Labels?
-
What is the difference between Keywords Lists and Keywords Labels - Aren't they both just ways to create logical keyword groups?
Also, what does the Tracked label imply - If a keyword is added to a "keyword list" does it also automatically get tracked?
-
A follow-up question - when should I be adding keywords to "Lists" vs. "Campaigns"? What are the pros and cons of each feature? The guide doesn't quite address these questions.

Hi there!
Thanks so much for the great questions! Sorry for any confusion around this. Keyword Lists are used in our Keyword Explorer tool to help with keyword research. The keywords in your keyword list here may not be ones you're ready to track long term in your Campaigns or that you're scoping out for data/more research. I have a guide here that talks more about these and how to use them which may be helpful.
Keyword Labels are used within your Campaigns to help group your keywords so you can sort and filter them into different segments, if needed. We talk more about this here in our Help Hub, as well.
Within Keyword Explorer, we'll mark a keyword as "tracked" if you are tracking that keyword in a Campaign. Adding keywords to your Keyword Lists in Keyword Explorer will not automatically track them in your Campaigns.
I hope that all helps to clarify! If you have any other questions, feel free to send us an email at help@moz.com.

Confused by "Exact Keyword Used in Document Text at Least Once".
Hi, I am using the On-Page Grader to improve the SEO for certain keywords on certain pages. I have received the notification that the "Exact Keyword Used in Document Text at Least Once". Well from the looks of it I have already done this but I want to make sure that im checking the right thing. What does it mean when it says document text as I assumed it was text on the page but its not reading it as that. Any feedback would be appreciated

Different Errors Running 2 Crawls on Effectively the Same Setup
Our developers are moving away from utilising robots.txt files due to security risks, so e have been in the process of removing them from sites. However we, and our clients still want to run Moz crawl reports as they can highlight useful information. The two sites in question sit on the same server with the same settings (in fact running on the same Magento install). We do not have a robots.txt files present (they 404), and as per Chiaryn's response here https://moz.com/community/q/without-robots-txt-no-crawling this should work fine? However for www.iconiclights.co.uk we got: 902 : Network errors prevented crawler from contacting server for page. While for www.valuelights.co.uk we got: 612 : Page banned by error response for robots.txt. These crawls were both run recently, and there was no robots.txt present. Not to mention, they are on the same setup/server etc as mentioned. Now, we have just tested this, by uploading a blank robots.txt file to see if it changed anything - but we get exactly the same errors. I have had a look, but can't find anything that really matches this on here - help would really be appreciated! Thanks!

Keyword used 1448 times ? for a Chinese page
Hi, I tested my page grade here : https://moz.com/researchtools/on_page_grader_reports/1269197 Keyword : "專案管理軟體" , which means "Project Management Software" in Traditional Chinese. URL: http://helpmecloud.com/clarizen-introduction.html But the On Page Grader told me "We found this keyword used 1448 times." I think the result is wrong, I guess you calculated all Chinese letters separately. Am I right ? How can I get a correct grade for my page ? Thansk for help! William

How can the Moz Page Grader support a 'keyword portfolio' approach?
I used to use the Page Grader tools to support the old philosophy of one page - one keyword. With more focus now being given to a portfolio of keywords around a topic area - what would be a good approach to using the page grader tool? Obviously getting A's and B's is impossible for multiple keywords. The only way i've seen suggested in moz tools to help with keyword portfolios is to use labels in the ranking measurement and then find averages of the results. Are there other strategies that I can try?

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.

Bing data in the keyword difficulty and SERP analysis tool
Hi Guys, I'm wondering about the exact match bing data in the Moz KWD & SERP analysis tool. We're looking at the ranking difficulty for given terms in Google but getting exact match bing numbers. Is the tool estimating Google searches from the bing data (perhaps a simple formula assuming maybe 10% search totals for Bing, 60% for Google or whatever is closest these days) or is it just raw bing numbers that we then have to upsize in order to estimate search numbers in Google? Hope that makes some kind of sense! In other words - how are you guys using that Bing data when considering terms to target using this tool? Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
