Keyword Difficulty Tool
-
Hello,
I've been using the above more and more - with some great results.
I have just run a report for a brand term and that brand has the new style sitelinks - 12 in total.
So the output from the Keyword Difficulty Tool is focussed solely on the main url and then 9 sitelinks, rather than 10 different domains.
Is there anyway around this? What do people think I should do?
Is it:
a) ok to use the output or
b) because the output is skewed to one domain is the data not robust enough or...
c) something else??
Thanks
Alex

Hey Alex,
Sorry that you're having that issue with Keyword Difficulty! These new in-site results do seem to have thrown off our tools, so we need to consider how to address them. Obviously, in-site links take up a lot of real estate in the SERPs, so the fact that they're there does add a lot of competition. However, I'm not sure if we've decided yet how we're going to treat them in the KWD tool, so stay tuned for that. Also, if you could send an email to help@seomoz.org with your PRO email address, the KWD search you're doing, and the example SERP, we'll take a look for you ASAP. Thanks Alex!

You might also want to check out this thread with a related question about ranking reports and the new super site links. I've asked Aaron to come over here and comment as well, so the rest of the group can also have the answer.

I think you should submit this as a bug to help@seomoz.org
The tool obviously takes the links as it finds them, limited to 10, and these new sitelinks have thrown a spanner in the works

Coworker and I see totally different keyword volumes on same paid keyword planner account
My coworker and I are both connected to the same company's paid keyword planner account but are using our own individual google accounts to log in. When I look up the keyword "joint bank account" I get a search volume of 9,900, while she gets a search volume of 2,900. Does anyone know why this might be? Do we know which might be more accurate? This doesn't seem to be connected to Google lumping semantic variations together. I've seen it happen way before that update. It's hindering our headline pitching since the volume she sees does not meet our minimum search threshold. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Laira

What does it mean when two keywords in Google's Keyword Research Tool have exactly the same amount of searches?
The two keywords are [publicity] and [product placement] (both in exact search - not broad) and have 22,200 searches each. Is it purely coincidental or are the two keywords kind of related in Google's eyes and that's why we're seeing the same amount of searches for each?

I was wondering if SEOmoz has any tools for finding longtail keywords
Hi all! I'm new to the community and to SEOmoz, so there is definitely a chance I am misusing the already available tools. And I was sure to do a search for "longtail tools" before posting this question. But, does SEOmoz have any available tools for researching and suggesting longtail to target? ...similar to what HubSpots tool does

How to do geo research for keyword phrases?
I'm working on a landing page for a client (music instrument rentals) and want to optimize for terms related to: music instrument rentals in San Francisco music instrument rentals in Seattle music instrument rentals in St. Louis music instrument rentals in Minneapolis/St. Paul How can I find the most popular terms based on a variation of the main term (music instrument rentals) and geo area? In other words, maybe 'Where to get Instrument rentals in San Francisco' is best? Thanks for your input! Mike Corso

How do you limit the number of keywords that will be researched
I'm working with a client who has a website, but doesn't really have a clearly defined idea of who their key audience is nor do they know what keyword phrases they would like to rank for. I know that I can generate a starting list by reviewing their site, but I want to set some parameters on it so I can provide an accurate estimate. I'm looking for suggestions on how to do this.
